A mini project done on Lakota Identity with some fellow students at Oglala Lakota College.
Project conceived by Elaine Yellow Horse (second photo). Photographs/editing by me (doyoumisterjones). Additional help by Anna Takes Shield (last photo.)
Because I’ve seen other people expressing confusion about this, I figured I should attach my answer to this ask:
Wonderful information on Lakota hair and protocol. Thank you for sharing.
for my entire life i wondered why a dragonfly has an ass thats like 8 times as long as their body and tonight i finally felt compelled to investigate and as it turns out dragonflies breath thru their ass and can shoot water out of their butt hole to make them fly faster…….so…… i really did not expect that to be the answer but there it is
wait for it🐟🐠

There is literally nothing in nature that blooms all year long, so do not expect yourself to do so.

This link is a wonderful illustration about how one mother, a survivor of sexual assault, chooses to teach her child about consent.
From the article:
“… your body is yours and yours alone. You get to choose who is able to see it and touch it.”
“As a sexual assault survivor, teaching my kid about consent is a form of activism.”
“You don’t know me, but you’ve been inside me.” - Written by the rape victim of Brock Turner.
That was the most gut-wrenching sentence I have ever read in my life. She inspired me to go face the inner brokenness imbedded in my soul to show others that rapes do not only happen behind dumpsters. It has been 1 year since I was raped at the entrance of one of the most popular parks in Columbus. My rapist’s DNA was found from the rape kit, however his DNA was not in the system. And apparently his DNA is still unknown. The pictures above are people walking by where I was raped within a 5-minute time frame. How did no one see a man raping my 5 foot nothing unconscious half naked body? My message here; TRY TO BE MORE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS. This post is also to show my support for Brock Turner’s rape victim and every other victim around the world. You are not alone. I am not alone. We are not alone.
I’m so sorry for what happened to you.
Trauma is weird. It takes up the whole body: you sweat it out. It lives in your skin and in the depths of your intestines and between your legs. It shakes and dizzies and bends you double. Trauma can’t be compared: it doesn’t matter that someone else survived the same thing without a scratch, or that someone is getting by in a different way. Your body has its own rules and you have to follow them. It took me a long time to understand this.

Love this.

I feel this.
A writer is, after all, only half his book. The other half is the reader and from the reader the writer learns.
P. L. Travers, author of Mary Poppins
Born on this day, 9th August 1899
P.L. Travers author of Mary Poppins was born Helen Lyndon Goff, in Queensland, Australia on August 9th, 1899. She wrote Mary Poppins in 1934, which was later released as a Disney film in 1964.
Mary Poppins was Travers’ first literary success. A sequel, Mary Poppins Comes Back, followed in 1935, then Mary Poppins Opens the Door (1944) and Mary Poppins in the Park (1952). Mary Poppins and the House Next Door was published in 1989.
Travers had a difficult childhood with an alcoholic father named Travers Robert Goff whose first name she adopted as her pseudonym for a lifetime of writing. After his death in 1907 the family moved to Bowral, New South Wales, and Travers had to take on adult responsibilities as the oldest child. She later moved to England where she settled and in 1933, while recovering from a serious illness at her home, Travers began relating stories about Mary Poppins to children, similar to the storytelling which she had earlier entertained her siblings.
“Travers had always believed in the intermingling of myth and fairy tale in life. She saw the child hidden in man and strenuously rejected the notion of ‘literature for children’.” (Biography in Austlit - available to NSW residents with a valid Library card)
P L Travers received the OBE in 1977 for services to literature, and died in 1996.
The State Library of New South Wales holds original manuscripts, photographs and oral recordings, including, P L Travers papers, lectures and talks, plus Mary Poppins and Mary Poppins Comes Back / coloured illustrations by Mary Shephard.

If I have, through my work, sought to change perceptions about Africa, I have done so purely as one who sees a lot to celebrate, and not as one who lives in denial of our challenges.
I’m still perplexed that the single most important dream of an educated African, quite often, is to become a carbon copy of someone else.
Africans, especially we the ones in leadership of any kind, must come to terms with this simple truth:
“YOU WILL NEVER FIND A COPY THAT IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE ORIGINAL”.
Why do you insist on being a good copy of someone else when you have everything it takes to stand out as an original?
The cities of Africa are plagued with buildings that were originally designed to suit colder climates but whose designs were blindly copied and built in the tropics. We surround ourselves with concrete and glass, totally blocking out air and light, then we spend the little electricity we have, to power air conditioners and light bulbs. What is wrong with us?
I know what is wrong with us:
Colonialism told us everything African is bad; even though the perpetrators of those lies actively looted and continue to loot as much of Africa as they can grab; yet we believe them.
The bigger crime isn’t that they robbed us, but that we continue to celebrate the intellectual and cultural genocide that colonialism is, as though it was the best thing that ever happened to us. It isn’t.
