How to get into nature.

I don't understand how people manage (even if they're at their absolute limits, because I get that) to juggle college + jobs. I can barely manage a 3-4 class semester without losing sleep I already don't get enough of, stressing like fuck, and having semi-frequent meltdowns. How do you manage???

emojis! keysmashing! just saying 'extra kudos'! a simple 'I love this!!!' goes a long way if you really like to yap, you can highlight a specific part of the fic you loved! be kind, make an author smile whenever you can 🤗🤗💕💕

Being in that limbo between 18 and 21 fucking sucks. Not because I want to drink (very rarely do I, and it's usually a fruity shot) but because I can't go to half the fucking club events around that have kick-ass music since I'M NOT 21 YET ACK

Reminder that Indigenous people don't owe you explanations, blood quantum bullshit, being "indigenous enough", long hair if they don't want long hair, or any fucking thing else.

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

Feels so good when I finally find the words to something I've been feeling for years and years. And this? Oh boy, this felt /so/ fucking good to get out at last. I am more than just a survivor or a victim and I have more worth than those words imply. I'm here and I'm fucking awesome.

The Indigenous have always been at the center of human rights + pushes for equity/equality alongside the black and brown communities. Oglala Sioux and all other Indigenous fighting against ICE and fascism, I love you. Be safe, and ride strong and proud. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻🪶 #fuckICE #fucknazis #antifa

Dakota Nation rises. They ride in defense of human rights. When the federal government sends armed thugs into our communities to terrorize families, it exposes a long history of dispossession, removal, surveillance, and racialized control.

Finally put something into words that I've /felt/ for years, and I think it's important: Many people have called me a victim or a survivor of the things I've endured in my past, but that always felt insulting on some baser level. Even if those phrases are meant to uplift me, they make me feel—

💙🩵 I still see you. You bring rain outside my window, and my tears slow. My heart slows, thudding steady. I hold myself now, but when I wake, I will eat, drink tea, think of you. I will hug my mother, I will kiss my cats, and I will remember my soul. I will remember the rain.

If Billy does not come back to me with the spring or the summer, if she does not survive this winter like the last... God, I will blame myself forever. Why did ma not think to toss her back in my room so she could unwind, so afraid of all the other animals in the house? Why was it not different?

Just had the first reminder from my brain that my mama hasn't tucked me in in years. No picking up my feet to put the blankets under how I like, no singing their songs they wrote for /me and no one else/. No tucking me in because I'm their bed bug, no forehead kisses and sleepy laughter.

BREAKING NEWS: There's an otter in this basket!!!

Anybody out protesting, please be fucking careful. Cover your body. Get away from this as fast as you can. They're inflicting heavy metal poisoning- this is permanent damage.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Make calls to demand KOSA be stopped. We cannot trust established Dems anymore. Make your voices heard, for KOSA will be used to censor LGBTQ+ voices. Well we must not let them: let's raise our voices and say no to this evil censorship. www.5calls.org #StopKOSA ✊🏽✊🏼🌎✊🏿✊🏾 #TransRights 🏳️‍⚧️ #ProLGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

All these censorship bills are a gift to the fascist regime and even just a few passing, or just KOSA and Section 230 repealed, will be a death knell.

what part of “all cops are bastards” is not clicking for people

That's Stephen Kapos, a child survivor of the Holocaust.

YES! This is the same America it has always been. American culture (overarching, with all of the immigrants from all backgrounds) COULD become the America we wish for, but it is yet that America. America (general, government, oppressive) has LITERALLY ALWAYS BEEN OPPRESSIVE, COLONIST, AND VIOLENT.

"I don't recognize America anymore, this is not the United States I know!" *blinks Indigenously*

ppl who complain about cats on counters are pussies. big wimps. cry babies. i said what i said

This is why there is no free speech without anonymous speech. This is why online ID checks / age verification is incompatible with the 1st amendment and human rights. This is why "make everyone use their real names" is not a real solution to online hate & harm www.politico.com/newsletters/...

digital ID is not the solution to this either, abolish ICE

#savespeech #stopKOSA #ProtectSection230 THREAD STARTS. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING. Apologies for politics. I have returned to sound the Gjallahorn. Ragnarok is coming, and both Republicans and Democrats seek to destroy the internet just to "protect the kids" or "fight Big Tech."

While I'm here, UP for the Black Panthers! UP for the Brown Panthers! UP for the Pink Panthers! REINSTATE the White Panthers and not just performatively! READ AND LEARN PANTHER HISTORY, IT IS OUR HISTORY. IT MUST NOW BECOME A WORLD-WIDE MOVEMENT, FOR THIS BATTLE IS WORLD-WIDE. #blackpantherparty

Hey so I haven't said anything about this on here yet, BUT! Fuck KOSA. Fuck Net Neutrality being repackaged for the umpteenth time, fuck the way such bills are being pushed as "there to protect children" when they absolutely are not. I was a KID protesting Net Neutrality and the original KOSA-

I just— *Pulls hair* Uaifjcifkcufjg foc's sake... I just wish we'd all see past this, see that we are still the same. Different, yes, but no less for it. We all have lost almost everything, be it in Ireland or outside of it. And we are so much larger in number than they want us to believe. 🇮🇪

One of the hardest parts of being Irish and having no way to be seen as more than "just an American" because my ancestors fled is this: Too often, in the Irish community, "Irishness" is based on whether/how much one interacts with the culture and the language. It is its own blood + culture quantum.

This isn't just about the James Cameron Avatar fandom, but fuck if it wasn't directly inspired by people being complete fucking idiots and ignoring all the symbolism. Oh, you don't like this character? You don't like the story? You don't like what JC is doing in HIS story? Write your own, pussy.

Sick of fandom and people with no media literacy. Fuck your opinions, I no longer care for them. I will gladly live in a land of fanart and fanfic only that feeds my ideas and mine alone. This is my dream world paradise and I choose how I play in it every day to escape reality ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

THIS!!

also, stop fucking censoring yourself. stop saying unalived. stop saying pew pew. stop saying stupid ass corny shit. we live in a world where we are already censored as is- stop doing their job for them. start explaining shit with your full chest. it’s murder. it’s guns. it’s fucking violence.

What DID he mean by that???

Just regaled my ma with the most online interaction I've ever had

i keep scrolling by these in my camera roll, so why not post em too lol. so here’s some more photos of my beadwork that are listed rn! #beadwork #indigisky #nativesky

Purring… purring…

There's nothing I love more than seeing indigenous aunties and uncles rocking the biggest, heaviest, most beautiful native-made jewelry possible. Stretched ears, medallions, hair pins, rings, quill chokers, leather or ribbon hair ties, etc. It fucking smacks and I love it!!!
