West Coast Wildflower

@westcoastwildflower

I am an Indigenous woman. Anthropology/first nations studies always have my attention. I love coffee, gardening, being outside with the big green earth understanding as much as possible...only to realize there is so much more out there. I'm a mother of a sweet little boy! I garden, I dabble in painting, and other forms of artistic expression. I promote health and well being of self and for those around me The light in me honors the light in you

hmm don’t know how to address this but i looked it up and apparently Richard Phillips, the 72-year-old black man recently released from prison after serving 45 years for murder he didn’t commit, is being forced to sell his art, rather than willingly selling it, since the justice system is refusing to pay him anything. there’s a post going around saying he’s showcasing his art and we should support him by purchasing it, but i think it’s an important distinction that he doesn’t want to part from the art that he made in prison. parting permanently from art you’ve made can be difficult, and considering the emotional value of the art he made in order to cope with his situation, it’s cruel to take it away from him rather than to just donate money. also there’s like this weird fetishization of his “prison art” in the media that is frankly disgusting, like ogling his pain and suffering and making it into some sort of spectacle. i scoured twitter for a donation page but i couldn’t find anything yet

update: i emailed his lawyer and found the official gofundme for him if you guys can spare anything

This is a strange question but I’m curious:

To everyone on NDN Tumblr/Twitter who belong to / participate in fandoms, which ones were the most intolerant or anti-native? This includes but is not limited to:

White feminism

Whitesplaining / speaking over your experiences

Justifying cultural appropriation / redface

Creating or supporting content with racist tropes / stereotypes.

Or overall just made it an unpleasant or unwelcomed place once you started speaking up about ANY native issues?

Feel free to reply, reblog, or send asks/anons, or if you want to keep it private, send me a personal message on messenger.

The Handmaid’s Tale and Harry Potter are the first ones that come to mind for me, personally.

Twilight, especially now that they’re trying to have this “Twilight renaissance” thing where these white girls just gloss over and speak over every native person who calls out the racism in those trash ass books/movies.

I confided in someone and she breached my trust and it cost me the job I was about to accept. She told someone and it led to me being over looked.

I'm so upset with her and me ...

Now her guilty conscience wont stop messaging asking me if I am okay.

No Becky I'm not okay.

Please excuse me while I wallow in misery before I shower.
