Anyway.

For those of you aren't aware and aren't involved in NDN circles, the Supreme Court just declared that tribal territories and reservations are part of states and are under state jurisdiction, including in regards to charging someone and putting them on trial in state courts for crimes related to the tribe (as opposed to this being left up to tribal courts), undoing decades of precedent for the separation of tribal and state governments.

In a few months, the Supreme Court is also going to be giving a verdict on whether or not the Indian Child Welfare Act, the only thing keeping indigenous children with their families and communities instead of being "adopted" (trafficked) to white Christian families at every chance, is unconstitutional. This act is also dependent on the belief that tribes are sovereign nations and that giving our children to people outside of our tribes is akin to the US government taking Canadian children in the Canadian foster system and trying to adopt them out to American families.

If the ICWA falls, we're going to see a modern Sixties Scoop, with Native children being stolen from their tribes and families and cultures and assimilated into white Christian society. This is not only traumatizing for the children and their families, it's also a form of cultural genocide that has been used against us before and has devastating effects.

There are family members I never knew because they disappeared into the foster system as children.

This is the beginning of what's going to be wave after wave of attacks on indigenous sovereignty and tribal governance. The Supreme Court, even with a Democratic majority, has historically decided against upholding indigenous sovereignty and tribal protection. We're seeing genocide and forced assimilation become federal policy again.

Why is the right suddenly interested in Native American adoption law? | Nick Estes

A 1978 law tried to remedy adoption practices created to forcibly assimilate Native children. Now conservative lawyers are arguing that the law constitutes ‘reverse racism’

[priscellie]

This is a major cause for alarm, and I’m not seeing much news about it yet on my feeds. The Supreme Court will hear several cases regarding the Indian Child Welfare Act in their October 2022 term (Texas v. Haaland, Brackeen v. Haaland, Cherokee Nation v. Brackeen, and Haaland v. Brackeen), and the outcome(s) could clear the way for the destruction of Native families, land, and tribal sovereignty.

Escape from Divinity Masterpost

Hey you wanna watch a series of OC Animatics set to music that tell a cohesive story about a nun and a demon(?) escaping from magical cultists and going on the run and struggling to hold hands and crying a lot?  Maybe?  This is that.

my take for the day. being edgy (and i mean shadow the hedgehog, 2005 mcr, scene kid edgy. not 4chan edgy) is in fact very good and i’d say even important 

[daz4i]

genuine expression of your emotions, especially your negative ones, is incredibly important to keep your mental health in check. doing it through music (listening or creating), clothes, makeup, poetry, etc is a safe and healthy way to do it 

bottling up your emotions is never good. if listening to mindless self indulgence helps you process your views on the world, do it. if smudging your eyeliner feels like you’re matching your inside to your outside, do it. if drawing bloody characters makes you feel better, do it. who cares if some boring loser thinks it’s cringe. do it for yourself

Pls do not reblog anything with the old disability pride flag, it does cause seizure and migraines, please use the new one which was created by the same person with the feedbacks of many other disabled people.

This is the safe one:

Dont use the zigzag one, your making disabled space inaccessible for a part of the community.

[Image description: a “Straight Diagonal” version of the Disability   Pride Flag: A charcoal grey flag with a diagonal band from  the top left  to bottom right corner, made up of five parallel stripes in  red, gold,  pale grey, blue, and green Description ends]

P.S.: I’ve answered this question in the comments, but not everyone reads those, so:

The reason (as it was explained to me) that the old design caused light sensitive seizures is that as you scrolled past it on your screen (phone, desktop, whatever) the moving, alternating, bright and dark stripes hits your retina and is registered by your brain as if it were flashing lights (and the zigzag shape exaggerated that). That’s why we took out the black stripes between the colors, and reduced the contrast.

This is also your friendly reminder to tag any GIF or video which has flashing lights (or flickering effects) you post with #Flashing, so people who are sensitive to that can block them.

Hades Animation | Glitter and Gold

There comes a time with any project where you have to be like “do I actually want to make an entire music video, or do I just wish an entire music video existed”, and sometimes you realize it’s the latter and it’s best to simply cut the project short.  Anyway here’s this.

Queer people don’t want to ‘turn’ your kids queer. We want queer kids to live long enough to be adults. We want to create a generation of queer adults who don’t have to recover from a lifetime of trauma. We want you to see queer people as people, too.
