out of use

I made this blog when I was very small and haven't used it actively since I was a teenager. All my other blogs are linked to this account tho, so I can't delete it and it's unfortunately what all my activity shows up under. If you see me on your activity feed, know that I am an adult and different as a person

I have a lot of feelings on how indigenous groups who didn’t build permanent structures like cities aren’t seen as being as sophisticated as ones who built large cities, without accounting for the fact that maybe it’s in our values systems to leave as light of a footprint as possible and it’s important that our structures are easily taken down or fade with the passage of time because it’s easier on the landscape, but ya know.

This made me think of the story one of my Coast Salish acquaintances tells of how her family would travel from the Puget Sound up Mt. Rainier every year and, sure, following herds but also they had berry bushes and trees and prairies (with camas is the one she always talks about but I'm sure other foods) that were in the care of specific families so they also followed the plants through the year. They cultivated and cared for them, not just coming to gather and move on to the unknown. They came back and to the same places, the same plants and trees every year.

I think a lot of people mistake what a huge connection that is to land and territory. They hear "nomadic" and dismiss it without realizing. It doesnt mean you dont have roots in the area. It means your roots are so ingrained in the area outsiders dont even see them there.

Discomfort is necessary for growth. Lean into it. Sit in it. You’re better for it.

I think about my ancestors all the time. They were people, people who fell in love, people who had pets, people who had a favorite book, people who were passionate about a specific topic, people who went through their own tragedy and suffering. Every single one of them was a person with their own unique life experiences.

And sometimes I think of the really old ones- the ones who spoke languages that are no longer spoken, who lived alongside wildlife that no longer exist, who belonged to cultures that are only known through remnants of pottery. I think of the people who saw the world when it was wilder and more beautiful.

i’m not sure if i’ve talked about this here before, but in tune with the conversation happening right now about keeping your activism more lowkey, being careful of what you share and all that, it reminds me of my grandfather, and smth i’ve been thinking abt lately anyways.

he was a young boy in estonia during the second world war. and his father was doing incredible things, and he was doing incredible things, working with the allies and fighting fascism. wonderful. but my grandfather was a young boy and when a friend was bragging about how cool his dad was? my grandfather blurted “well, my dad fights nazis.” and that was all it took. word was out. him and his family were taken to the camps. and thank G-d they survived and my father could be born and i could be born- but that’s besides the point. what i’m saying is- i understand, kids and teens want to help and they want to be a part of something and help change the world, and yeah, they kinda wanna brag about it because they feel like they’re doing something important and yadda yadda. i get it. but i absolutely need yall to keep in mind that you are not invincible, and that your good deeds and hard work are just as valuable if not spoken of or appreciated. in fact they’re even more valuable. you are fighting for righteousness, not recognition. or at least you need to be.

i highly highly commend any young person, anyone at all, fighting for whats right in times of injustice. please just remember that not everyone can be trusted, you need to be careful, you are often putting not only yourself at risk, but your fellow organizers, when you do things like streaming or sharing photos from protests and actions. it’s not worth it. idk if this is kind of an odd post or anecdote to share but it’s just on my mind yknow.
