FUCK YOUR INVASION

PEOPLE NEED TO STOP TELLING ABORIGINAL WOMEN THEY'RE TO PRETTY TO BE ABORIGINAL 🚫

We got our ancestors lips, our ancestors nose, our ancestors mother bearing hips, our ancestors strong features, our ancestors hair and our ancestors eyes. We are blessed to be Aboriginal, so don't get it twisted ✊🏾 I am beautiful because I take after my matriarchs, I will not define my beauty by colonized standards 💯

alright i’m sick of hearing aussies talk about BLM like it’s an event happening in some faraway land when indigenous folks are suffering right here in our backyard so here are some things you can do as an ally:

donate (if you can) to changetherecord, the AIEF, or the bridging the gap foundation

find some petitions to sign here

educate yourself on indigenous issues here or here

engage with indigenous media (here’s a good place to start)

volunteer (if you can) at garma or AIATSIS

support indigenous businesses

Australian Black Lives Matter Resource Document

Hello! There is a lot of information out there, and while it may be hard to know where to start and what to do - it is nonetheless critical that we continue to educate ourselves and unlearn racism. 

To help myself with this, I started an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of things. Here is the link. I thought some fellow Australians might like to have a squizz in case it could help you in any way. 

Feel free to share the link.  Always was. Always will be.

A sacred site showing 46,000 years of continual occupation and it's completely legal to blow it up | First Dog on the Moon

Destroyed by people who probably don’t know who their ancestors were 300 years ago

Racism does not just exist in America, it is prevalent everywhere. Aboriginal Australian’s are still having their history and culture eradicated, don’t call American’s crazy and in the same breath ignore the tragedies happening in our own backyard.

Blowing up a 46,000 year old sacred site on National Sorry Day, a day for white Australians to reflect on the horrors of our history and to promise not again, and a day for Aboriginal Australian’s to mourn.

Happy Sorry Day: Rio Tinto detonates sacred Aboriginal site

Rio Tinto was touting its “lasting, positive impact” on the world 24 hours after blowing a sacred site to smithereens.

Disappearances of aboriginal women and children

In Canada it's genocide, but here it's 'unknown': This is Australia's dark secret

For generations Indigenous women have been going missing and advocates say it is time to find the answers.

“The Stolen Generation” is not a thing of the past, indigenous children are removed from their culture and into white foster homes alarmingly more than other races.

NSW Aboriginal child protection funding cut

On the eve of Sorry Day, the peak body for child protection in NSW, AbSec, is poised to lose funding.
