“Resilience”, a new wallpaper for my patrons, thanks to whom I can try and explore new things (million times thank you! <3). This grumpy guy always brings the most vibrant colours out of me. It’s also probably a phase. :)

Bass Reeves was so dedicated to the law, he even arrested his own son Bennie for the murder of his wife. Bennie was sentenced to life in prison. With over 3000 arrests, 14 kills, went his entire 32 year career in law enforcement without being shot once.

He was assigned to bring in the notorious female outlaw Belle Starr. Once she got wind who was after her she turned herself into the federal court.

Reeves was one of a few Marshalls who would venture into Indian territory *oklahoma*. After the age of 67 he retired in 1907. He enjoyed his short lived retirement as a police officer in Muskogee Oklahoma, his assigned beat had 0 crime reported until he died at the age of 71 of Bright’s disease.

He was one of the true gun slingers of the west.

I love the story of Bass Reeves!

One of his famous tactics was, if he was captured or in danger by a criminal he was hunting down, he would ask them to read a letter from his wife before they killed him. He used their distraction to free himself and get the upper hand.

He was also a freed slave. George Reeves, his owner and reason for his surname, took Bass with him to fight in the Civil War. However, George became violently angry after Bass beat him at a card game, and Bass was forced to fight him (or kill, on some accounts) in self defense.

After running away and entering Native American territory, Bass learned how to speak the languages of the ‘Five Civilized Tribes’ (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muskogee, Seminole). This part of his life is where he mastered marksmanship. He got married and had a family after the Emancipation Proclamation was declared, and then later became a Marshal, going on the adventures listed above (and many more… Another famous criminal that Bass captured was Bob Dozier.)

He was the very first black US Marshal. May we never forget him, as history would suffer to lose such an outstanding figure.

i think finding ancient human remains and studying them is fascinating but it also makes me sad like...please bury them...

butchniqabi

once again talking about arbitrary time thresholds but at what point does a person stop being a person? how long do they have to be dead for it to be "okay" to keep them displayed? it really makes my heart ache because these are people who just kept getting passed around and taken from place to place for the sake knowledge and education (and not to mention the blatant destruction and consumption of mummies by wh*te people before) but it just feels so wrong to me. there are far too many bodies on display that should be buried and/or repatriated

im gonna need white people to stop commenting on this post. seriously shut the fuck up. your ancestors tortured mine for the sake of "knowledge", take a moment to consider that the pursuit of knowledge is not always ethical and should not be an excuse in and of itself. why do we need knowledge for the of knowledge? who do we dishonor when we do so?

Hello, Mr. Gaiman. Do you like puffins?

Yes.

Not to eat, mind, just to admire as they skim over the water, like tiny helicopters.

White allies and white leftists and liberals need to read this.

In regards to posts about racism or intersectionality with race involved you MUST listen. Not respond. LISTEN

What I have seen so many white “allies” do is add onto posts (my own included) to put their own thoughts and opinions. In some cases take the words of the original poster and try to “translate” what is being said to other white people.

You are ACTIVELY taking away the voices of poc and speaking over them when you do this. When you tack on your own personal anecdotes or try to to give a definition of what a person or color is saying you are in the simplest of ways insulting their intelligence

rosyish

I have multiple posts on this site talking about racism and there is ALWAYS a white person ready to reblog it with their own commentary. You are NOT helping. And you are being micro aggressive

Your job as an ally is to uplift our voices. Not add your own.

Please sit down with yourself and ask yourself why you feel the need to insert yourself into a conversation that does not need your opinion. No matter if you agree or not.

Please save your thoughts and opinions for the tags. This isn’t a blackboard discussion class

This won’t get as many notes as my other posts and I know this but I still must say it because it’s so very aggravating and honestly very rude
