Wind is Pretty Nice!~ @windisfengisviento - Tumblr Blog

I know I don’t post on Tumblr like I used to, but this is super important to me.

This video is of me, one of about 200,000 Korean adoptees who were adopted overseas. I’ve been trying to search for my birth parents since last year. It has been exhausting and saddening with little to show despite calling and emailing my adoption agency for months, multiple DNA tests, posts on adoptee-searching websites, and soon, a trip to Korea. This video is from non-profit 325 Kamra’s new virtual library of overseas Korean adoptees. Please support them if you can: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNR-MjZDWR70ylROW6-wSUg

The biggest way you can help if you’re of Korean ethnicity or are/are related to a Korean War veteran is to DNA test! Contact 325 Kamra to see if you are eligible for a free DNA kit: https://www.325kamra.org/

If you have any information, please contact me. If you are/know my birth parents, I don’t judge either of you. I’m not angry. I love both of you, and I’ve thought about you since I can remember.

If you’re interested in Korean adoptees here are some of links:

Flint, Michigan still doesn’t have clean water

windisfengisviento

Agree that it happens in the US but it is NOT the same.

questionablemotivations

There are a lot of times I feel like just…flipping the vegan script.

It’s not ‘polyester’ it’s plastic

It’s not ‘vegan leather’ it’s plastic

Its not ‘faux fur’ it’s plastic

Plastic is a pollutant and causes far more damage to the environment both now and in the future than leather or wool.

Please stop telling me that the Plastic Lyfe is the only life, it is not. My leather shoes will last a decade where pleather is lucky to last 12 months. Leather (and wool) decompose and are renewable. Plastic is neither of those.

THANK YOUUUUUUU~

A single wash cycle of plastic-based fiber (polyester, poly fleece, faux fur) may release 700,000 pieces of microplastic into our waters. Nasty stuff.

Wool is the most environmentally friendly fabric despite being an animal product.

prismatic-bell

Decomposed plastic–which takes about 500 years, by the way–is believed to turn into toxic dust. As in if you breathe it, it’ll poison you.

But hey! No animals were sheared in the making of it, amirite????

robotsandfrippary

I’ve been saying this FOR YEEEEAAAARS.

Ethically animal products are the way to go. Let’s treat the creatures that make our lives possible by sacrificing theirs with dignity and respect.

What about cork products? I’ve seen several cork boots, bags, etc.

Crash course on fake stones/misrepresentations

Because I have been too lazy to type this all up.

Quartz:

If your quartz has teeny air bubbles it’s glass.

If it’s got a fruit name it’s dyed. End of story. (strawberry, cherry, lemon, pineapple, blueberry) yes there may be some very rare exceptions-fire quartz being dubbed strawberry- but due to the rise in fakes with that name it’s generally called fire quartz now.

Aura quartz is a regular quartz that’s been bonded with another material. (man made)

Cinnabar Infused Quartz usually reconstituted and mixed together to make a red crystal.

Green quartz can be grown in a lab and anything that forrest green color is

Turquoise:

Magnesite and howlite look very very similar to turquoise when they’ve been dyed, magnesite will have very deep cracks in it though.

No there is no white turquoise.

You can do a uv test to see if it’s real

Amber

Often faked with Copal. They look nearly identical.

Amber will float in salt water-copal will not.

Irradiated/dyed stones:

Very vibrant colors!!

Irradiated: (they irradiate the crystals to get a deeper or more vibrant color)

deeply pigmented topaz or kunzite

dark (almost black) smokey quartz

very deep pink or red tourmaline

colored diamonds

some cultured pearls

vibrant yellow heliodor

Dyed:

Pearls

Agate

coral

other stones may be dyed as well, generally if it looks fake..it is.

Heat treated stones: (really not a bad thing but if you’re going for natural)

Amethyst-lighten color+remove brown

Citrine-heat treated amethyst.

Aquamarine-remove green

Ruby-clearer stone

Sapphire-clearer stone

Rainbow Cal-Silica

Nope, completely fake 100%

Literally just car paint layered with calcite and resin.

Citrine: (im so sorry)

Much of the citrine on the market is lab made.

If it’s lab made it’s usually amethyst that’s been heated until it changes color

The bottom of these stones will be white with more color at the tips.

srry

Lapis Lazuli:

High quality is vibrant blue, hard to come by, and very expensive.

Low quality howlite, jasper or sodalite is dyed blue, and passed off as lapis.

Acetone will remove the dye but damage the stone.

Obsidian:

The clear green obsidian you see all over ebay is slag glass.

Natural green obsidian has been found but it is opaque and is more gray than green.

there is red obsidian as well but again, it’s not a vibrant red and is more brick colored.

Wikipedia is not always right.

Goldstone:

it’s glass it’s legitimately just glass

Opalite:

also glass.

real opalite exists but it’s green and not commonly found

once again, don’t believe everything on wikipedia.

Bismuth:

Doesn’t naturally form in the crystals, lab made!!!

rlly pretty though

Hematite:

Not naturally magnetic!

Magnetic hematite is 100% man made!

I’ll add more as I come across them~

fw98

Jade:

Real jade is p. heavy! A way to tell if it is real is that it’ll be heavier than it looks.

Jade is faked with the following:

Serpentine “New Jade” or “Olive Jade”

Prehnite

Aventurine quartz

Grossular garnet “Transvaal jade”

Chrysoprase “Australian jade”

Malaysia Jade- dyed quartz that may be called by its color – Red Jade, Yellow Jade, Blue Jade

Opaque dolomite marble “Mountain Jade” (usually dyed)

Dragon vein agate:

Quench cracked, bleached, and dyed agate and some is quench cracked, and dyed glass.

Snowflake obsidian:

Being faked with a very low grade cheap dalmatian jasper.!

Snowflake will be gray while Dalmatian should have a lighter color

Hollow galena:

A lot of pieces have been proven to have been faked through sand blasting + similar techniques (but there may be real ones I’m not 100%)

Charoite:

Chinese Charoite doesn’t exist.

If it’s called that then it’s not real, real charoite isn’t banded and is more swirly.

Moldavite:

Very very commonly faked!!

Biggest giveaway is the ‘wet’ look a faked piece has due to the molding process

White moldavite doesn’t exist!!

Sunspar:

It’s really just yellow Labradorite, which isn’t a v rare gem

quillioc-deactivated20191112

ALSO!

Andara Crystal

no such thing

massive scam

literally chunks of slag glass, worth like, .1% of what they are sold for

GOFUNDME: SAVE OUR NAVAJO LANGUAGE

“I never learned my Navajo language and I was never inspired to learn it. As I got older, I realized how valuable our language is to the livelihood of our Navajo Nation. ” -Dr. Shawna L. Begay

Our Navajo or Diné language is in danger of becoming extinct. Help us create and develop the first Navajo-English educational media TV puppet show, “Diné Bí Ná’álkid Time” which means ‘The Navajo Movie Time.’ It will inspire and teach our youth basic language skills using media as a technology tool. Parents, grandparents, children and grandkids can learn to speak Navajo fluently together within their own homes. Long-time friends and educators, Dr. Shawna L. Begay and Charmaine Jackson have teamed up to create this new TV pilot for an all-ages audience or for anyone who wants to learn the Navajo language. With your support, it’ll be the first educational Navajo and English puppet show that will teach and preserve the Navajo language and culture through digital media.

After several years of extensive research on the Navajo Nation, Dr. Begay recently completed her PhD from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas with her doctorate thesis, ‘Developing A Navajo Media Guide: A Community Perspective.’ As project director, she quickly realized she was a pioneer on the topic.

“When I decided what topic to study I realized there existed very little research in Indigenous educational media, especially with our Navajo people,” stated Dr. Begay. “As Navajo people, we have our own learning objectives and Navajo way of knowing is completely different for Euro-Western schooling. I decided that I had to research and develop our own curriculum guide that is meant to teach Navajo through media.” Dr. Begay and Jackson, co-writers of the show, developed the first 3-puppet characters and plan for many more. The pilot features Nanabah-a young Navajo girl, Gáh (Rabbit) and Dlǫ̀ǫ̀ (Prairie Dog) who will go on endless adventures learning about language, gardening, the environment and the importance of family values. Nanabah is fluent in Navajo and likes to teach children about life on the reservation with her animal friends and special guests. Children who want to learn Navajo will also be an important part of the show by interacting with Nanabah, her friends and storyline. Dr. Begay’s research concluded there exists very little research in the area of Indigenous educational media. Currently media is a very powerful tool that can be used to teach. She is cognizant of the digital age we live in and the opportunities to utilize media to revitalize the Navajo language. “Star Wars and Finding Nemo,” dubbed in Navajo, was a great place to start and it has garnered national exposure of our language. However, we need a show based on our own Navajo learning principals our ancestors set out for us to learn and live by. I don’t think a non-Navajo, non-Native or non-Indigenous person can do that for us, nor should they. We, as Navajo, need to produce this show ourselves, if we are to be truly sovereign,” added Dr. Begay. Both educators, Dr. Begay and Jackson, of Naalkid Productions have been talking about this educational language project for about the past four years and still have a long way to go to finance their dream. “With the support of Navajo TV Anchor Colton Shone, our team of Navajo artists, filmmakers, family and friends, this video pilot is a huge step forward,” said Jackson. “Our journey has just begun and the big next step is finding financial support to create a whole new puppet TV series.” We aim to raise $50,000 with this project which will allow us to continue with pre-production and production aspects of making this digital media project become a reality. We need your help to save our language by teaching Navajo to our future generations. Pre-Production: -Script writing for the pilot show -Puppet Development/Creation -Casting for puppeteers and other talent that will be on screen -Hiring of all key cast and crew Production: -Locations and permits -Rental of Studio space -Equipment: cameras, sound, lights, etc. -Cast and Crew budget

Hey tumblr, I’ve got some friends in a really tight spot who could use some help, and I’ve put together a gofundme to try to help them along.

Dante and River are moving back to Chicago, but they’ve been hit with setback after setback. If you’re interested in helping them out, the campaign is here, with further information.

Dante also does phenomenal natal chart interpretations and pendulum questions– the prices are really low right now, so literally even if you have a dollar, he can do something for you. I can personally attest to the natal chart readings– he roasted me and it was a great experience.

Natal chart prices and information here

Of course, even if you can’t donate, a reblog will spread this around, and that’s all we can ask! Thank you!

PSA: IF YOU LIVE IN ENGLAND PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE

Some of you may have heard about the UK Cat Killer, some sick fuck who has killed and mutilated over 300 cats and other animals such as pet rabbits and wild foxes over the past 3-4 years.

Recently there have been an influx of more killings especially around the South Eastern area, including Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex, Berkshire, etc, where the animals have been mutilated and either returned to their owner or left on footpaths and sidewalks where kids regularly walk to school. School children have been finding theses horribly mutilated animals. Most recently, however, on Monday a lady’s cat was found beheaded and splayed out in a star shape beneath her bedroom window in the morning about 2 minutes away from where I live, my mum works at a vets and was visited by Scotland yard police who advised everyone who lives in the area to keep their pets in at all times if possible. Especially at night.

So, since Tumblr is so American-centric, I thought I’d write a little PSA telling people who live in the UK to please keep your pets in at night, and if possible, during the day.

LISTEN UP, FOOLS

So get this:

NO ONE IS NATURALLY PERFECT AT WRITING!

NO ONE JUST RANDOMLY PICKS A PEN UP ONE DAY AND CREATES THE NEXT NYT BESTSELLER!

NO ONE WRITES A PERFECT BOOK IN THE FIRST DRAFT!

Y’all need to stop being so damn hard on yourselves. Everyone has to start somewhere. Writing is the same as any other art. If you don’t practice and put yourself out there to receive feedback then you will never improve. End of story. I know it’s scary to put yourself out there, but it’s so crucial to take advice from others and see what you can improve on.

The other thing? You have to read. Stories are your writing textbooks. Look at the way an author words something. Pick apart their sentences. Hell, take their sentences and see if you can rewrite them a different way just to practice your own skills! You won’t improve without time and effort!

I want to see every single one of you succeed. If I die without having my mutuals’ works on my shelves, I will be sad. Bite the bullet and take the leap or whatever metaphor you want. But do not ever quit!
