Truth vs. Twilight

In collaboration with the Quileute Tribe, this site seeks to inform Twilight fans, parents, teachers, and others about the real Quileute culture, which indeed has a wolf origin story, a historic relationship with the wolf as demonstrated in songs, stories, and various art forms, as well as a modern, multi-dimensional community with a sophisticated governance system. We also hope to offer a counter narrative to The Twilight Saga’s stereotypical representations of race, class, and gender, and offer resources for a more meaningful understanding of Native American life and cultures.

A Black woman needs your help escaping a traumatizing living experience in portland. Her gofundme is linked above.

White folks: we have failed Black women. It is far past time we rectify that. Yes, donating to grass-roots organizations is worthwhile, but put some of your donations directly into the hands of those most affected.

Apply the same concern you have for those lost to systemic, racist, colonized violence to those who are still with us.

I challenge each and every one of you to apply pressure and encourage your family and friends to give directly in the hands of Black women.

You can start by donating and sharing to the above linked gofundme.

It is truly messed up that a white male barista had 90k in "tip donations" raised for refusing service to a white lady who wasnt wearing a mask. For fucks sake, we can do better.

Black Women's Lives Matter.

a few days ago in eugene, oregon, a BLM group organized a children’s march to allow kids a space to protest in a family-friendly manner. one of the men leading the protest, isiah wagoner, was intentionally ran over by a subaru driven by a white man. he’s been hospitalized. the man that ran him over has not been charged. would you mind signing a petition to get justice for isiah? he’s been spearheading a lot of the protests and marches in eugene and he’s very important to the community. he only needs a few more signatures! thanks!

reports of police launching a tear gas at protesters at the unceded Lakota territory known as mount rushmore. protesters had completely blocked the road, but anyone blocking it were threatened with arrest – several of which were made.

[the above image is a screen capture of tweets from @JoshuaPotash, which read,

“Protesters will reportedly be forced out in 10 minutes if they don’t clear out voluntarily. And many have expressed that they won’t leave.

(Also I’ve only seen one link to a bail fund so far and it hasn’t worked. Please send me info on a verified bail fund if you see anything)

All protesters blocking the road to unceded Lakota territory known as Mount Rushmore are now being arrested.” end of transcription]

[a screen capture of a tweet from Unicorn Riot @UR_Ninja, reading

20+ people total have been arrested (~30 minutes ago, as well as a few hours earlier). We just took the stream down.

As police were withdrawing, they took with them a riot shield that had been redecorated by a demonstrator to read “Land Back”. end transcription. the tweet includes an image of an officer carrying the aforementioned shield, spray painted with the words]
