I don’t know if this will even get any traction right now, but I’m so worried. Last night, my mom was murdered, a result of domestic violence. My little sister was shot and is currently hospitalized, I can’t even cope right now, my grandma passed away just last week, and now I don’t know if I’ll be able to work at all. If anyone can help me with money for food, bills, and rent, it would be appreciated. I’m already extremely mentally ill, and having this happen to my mom and sister has completely destroyed me. Please help me, and thank you for anyone who takes the time to read this and donate. My goal is 2,000.

How to donate food to Standing Rock

Sacred Stone Camp

With cold weather approaching, Sacred Stone Camp is in need of firewood, as well as woodstoves, propane and fire extinguishers. Because of lack of solar and wind energy at the camps, burning wood and gas will be the primary source of warmth (for both bodies and cooking) in the winter months. 

Supplies as well as donations can be sent to Sacred Stone Camp P.O. Box 1011, Fort Yates, ND 58538 and 202 Main Street, Fort Yates, ND 58538. 

Sacred Stone Camp has also created an Amazon wish list to assist you in your purchasing of supplies. A small cast iron logwood stove starts at about $317 (plus shipping), which is less than that new iPhone you’ve been fantasizing about.

Oceti Sakowin Camp

Bracing for winter, the Oceti Sakowin Camp has a similar need for propane, heating stoves and cold weather attire, as well as bulk food supplies to be stockpiled for winter, as their current stock of bulk food is dwindling or expiring. 

Pick up a few extra cartons of rice or preserved meats on your next Costco trip and ship them to Oceti Sakowin Camp, P.O. Box 298, Cannon Ball, ND 58528 or donate funds directly atwww.paypal.me/ocetisakowincamp.

This advocacy group has created a wish list of supplies, on which hundreds of packages of buffalo jerky are requested along with survival supplies and several camp stoves.

Red Warrior Camp

The Red Warrior Camp is fundraising $100,000 through a GoFundMe page that will be used for supplies on the ground for individuals protecting the sacred Mni Sose River in sovereign Lakota Territory.

Individual efforts

Individuals and businesses across the country are organizing fundraisers and food drives to donate supplies to Standing Rock. Washington resident Ben Sittingbull has set up a donation page to fill a trailer with thousands of pounds of donated organic food. 

Students and activists near Madison, Wisconsin, activists from Santa Cruz, California, San Francisco, Los Angeles and beyond, as well as Texas-based hot dog restaurant Frankand plenty more concerned people and businesses across the country have volunteered their time and services to collect food and deliver it or ship it to Standing Rock. 

All it takes is some time and organization to involve your community in a fundraiser and drive to collect supplies and express solidarity with Standing Rock en masse.

And, of course, you can donate funds directly to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, which will be allocated appropriately to support the on-the-ground efforts. Read more

How You Can Help The #NODAPL Protesters and Water Protectors

If you live in American, you’ve likely heard of the ongoing struggle taking place at the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota. There, hundreds of protestors are standing their ground against both Dakota Access LLC (Energy Transfer Partners) and the militaristic police presence. The police force in this area has ordered and deployed vicious assaults against the peaceful protestors in the form of attack dogs, rubber bullets, tear gas, and more.

What Is The Dakota Access Pipeline?

The Dakota Access Pipeline is a proposed crude oil pipeline that has been approved by The US Army Corps of Engineers in July 2016. The pipeline would run underground from North Dakota to Illinois by way of South Dakota and Iowa. (x)

Why Is DAPL Bad?

The Dakota Access Pipeline is opposed because of several reasons. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe stated in their filed complaint in federal court that “the construction and operation of the pipeline…threatens the Tribe’s environment and economic well-being, and would damage and destroy sites of great historic, religious, and cultural significance to the Tribe.” (x) The construction of DAPL would disturb the environment and very possibly contaminate the natural water sources that the locals rely on. In addition, many feel that resources would be better spent investing in alternative energy sources.

What Can We Do To Help Right Now?

Even if you are not able to travel to Standing Rock to join the protesters, there are many ways to contribute to their cause and to their protection and well being.

when you're so stressed that you've missed ur period for like two months and you constantly have wonder why you keep having bad dreams about the same person

[nefepants]

Stop sympathizing with men who openly call women hoes and bitches for exhibiting human emotions and behavior.

Especially when these assholes only show ‘respect’ for women they’re attracted to.

READ: an essay by Lauren on her feelings about the upcoming Disney film Moana:

What aggravates me most in this new arena of hypervisibility that Pacific Islanders find themselves in, is the notion that we should be thankful. We should simply be happy that people thought highly enough of our culture to make it into a movie. But I’m a capable, cognizant adult. I can be happy for this film and acknowledge the impact it will have on young Pasifika children, Pasifika girls specifically, and how they’ll be given a heroine that looks like them. I’m not downplaying that in the slightest and I refuse to take that away from Auli’i. But I also think we should be allowing this to facilitate talk about true representation and authenticity.
