So my post on Oklahoma making it legal to take indigenous children from their parents without tribal consent is blowing up, and I'm glad people are horrified. But what I need people to know is that this might happen on a national level.
The Supreme Court is debating overturning the Indian Child Welfare Act.
What this act does is give Native American and Alaska Native tribes and nations control over the foster and adoption placement of their children. To overturn it would be to say tribes and nations aren't sovereign, and it would also allow the U.S. government to forcibly assimilate indigenous children into other cultures.
Please:
Spread the word about what is happening.
Read online news articles about this; the more traffic on those articles, the more likely the press is to write more articles.
If there are protests in your area, join them.
If there are indigenous nations or tribes in your area, ask them how you can help.
Donate to indigenous rights organizations like Native American Rights Fund.
Write to your representatives.
If ICWA falls, keep all of the above up. Don't just shrug and think it's over.

I didn’t know that…
thank you for alerting me about that anon!
oh that’s an ad being ran on youtube of a guy in his truck openly rallying for transphobia and homophobia. that’s a youtube ad of a guy calling lgbt people predators and talking about how “vile” they are. youtube is just letting explicit hate speech against lgbt ppl run rampant on their website during pride month and allowing for that content to be produced with zero moderation and zero interference and then pushing that content onto random users of their site
Headcanons for Primal au part 2:
Vixen/fox witch(clan nickname)/Palina:
Vixen is easily recognized as a human with their kimono and stance but can run on all fours but it is a very rare thing to witness only happening in battles between Space and Time when they possess their favored spared. They have scars in their face that goes from their right cheek to their nose.
the fox witch nickname comes from the nine tails they have all nine aren’t a part of the suit and Vixen can make them vanish if they choose to but it’s rare Vixen is a more aggressive when the research trio come into contact with them and attempt to attack them but the attempt is thwarted when Violet gets in the way and blocks them.
Vixen has two ninetails as partners one a alola variant that ran away from their trainer and was found by Vixen and a normal ninetails both follow Vixen around and assist with any minor chore that vixen is to busy to deal with at the time they are very affectionate with the research trio much to Vixens annoyance
Vixen*in the language of the spared*: is this parenthood?(gestures in exasperation to their ninetails as the two taunt the local alpha drapion)
Violet: (looks down at the three squirming hairless bipedal zoruas and their adopted feral ball of fur of a sylveon in their arms ) yes. yes it is.
Vixen like many of Space’s spared can teleport around by warping space and altering their location with a single thought though they can do nothing else with this ability unless their touching another person.
Vixen cared for the young lord and did not make him evolve knowing that he was not ready yet and a feeling of duty kept them from leaving the pup and his friend to fend for themselves though the pup is rarely seen with them they built a small tent like structure to house the two and brings food when they go and check on them.
Vixen is crafty and mischievous and does things to mess with Fate and Akari’s studying of the hisuian growlithes and arcanines but is unable to stop the three from learning about them because of violet and their Sylveon. Rei was not amused when he woke up to a damaged tent and an empty camp.
Rei: what did I tell you not to do
Sylveon: sylve slyv veon (to not destroy the camp)
Rei: and what did you do?
Sylveon: sylveon ve veon eon ve (protected you from a dangerous predator)
Rei: :| Sylveon: syylllvvvvv…. veon ve (aaannndd…. destroyed the camp)
(Rei doesn’t understand what their saying he can just tell)
Vixen becomes less aggressive after Fate does a request from Irida to give Palina one of the missing wardens a message by taking it to the tip of the mountain nearby the grave of the last lord of the Isles and read it aloud the letter triggers a small memory that quickly fades but the feeling remains and Vixen assists The trio in the battle with coin and clover.
Vixen just like Violet can communicate with Space but also forgets that they can though they have by accident contacted them and both of them just froze staring at each other for thirty minutes in confusion.
When you go to the isles Vixen is there with Violet with already prepared balms to use the two put aside their opposing ideals and put their heads together to prepare for the coming battle and worked together to chase of the bandits after growlithe evolves into the new lord of the isles Vixen unlike Violet remains in cobalt coastline and refuses to leave (until Fate gets kicked out of the village and Akari and Rei convince them to leave and help them find and assist Fate)
Vixen and Violet grow to respect one another in time as their constant battles when possessed by Time and Space leads the two to seek out comfort from each other’s warmth as they heal from once fatal injuries the dragon side of Violet naturally seeking warmth and Vixen to exhausted to complain as the two cuddle with one another in the light of the full moon.
Vixen removes their mask once and that was when they escorted Akari and Rei up mt. Coronet which while intimidated any possible threats as “the fox witch” led two of the survey corps best trainers to the ruins at the top brought Irida to tears who was comforted by a already upset Adaman. After Palina’s memory search request):
Palina like Melli will never truly be the same after everything and she continues to wear the kimono and keep the tails Vixen had Melli and them see more eye to eye and seek each other out when they feel upset with themselves or she wants to see the research trio and can’t help but mess with Melli cause Violet registered them as hairless zoruas when they randomly adopted them into their pack Palina is a welcome addition to the pack and they are regularly seen around the four when they visit Covalt coastland
Dancing eases even the most hurt heart….
you stand a display of your power as you test the limits…. On the fateful day you lost your stride little bloom Time gifted you their grace so that you may dance once more….
Go forth little bloom and waste no time….
Things like this can’t be ignored. Please reblog.
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
