i know we’re both just messing around pretending to be whole but look at me. if the train was coming would you move. if the ground was falling from under your feet would you even notice or would it just be another tuesday for you. if somebody stabbed you could it hurt worse than you already do. what i’m saying is that i love you but i think we both drive over the speed limit when it’s raining. what i’m saying is that i want to hold your hand and i understand about how you sometimes have to sit down in the shower. what i’m saying is that i’m here for you and if the train comes please move.
Apparently it's that time again where I just don't feel like eating anything! Hooray depression!
For usamericans who may not know how to support decolonization and indigenous people in their every-day lives, may I suggest checking this list of native-owned businesses, curated and maintained by indigenous folks. There's food, candles, cbd pre-rolls, clothes, jewelry, hats, baby things, handicrafts, art, and hundreds of other useful and wonderful things. I check this list before I buy non-native owned as often as I can.
Also check out the native-owned (pulitzer-prize winner Louise Erdrich started it!) bookstore and press Milkweed Editions (dot org) for an amazing selection of books by indigenous authors. I recommend Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer (a collection of essays that will change your thinking if your mind is open at all) that's great for sitting down to read for bite-sized chunks. For book recommendations, check out this infographic!
Do you own property and want to support landback but still need a place to live? Odds are good that there's established precedence in your area to transfer its jurisduction to a local tribe and pay your land taxes and etc to them instead of the settler government!
Here is a list of charities and fundraisers for indigenous support.
Other ways to educate yourself and learn what indigenous people are working on nationally and locally is to follow indigenous people online! Many Native peoples on various social medias tag with #indigenous, #native, and by looking at those you will find many other tags and people to follow.
If you have extra cash, consider paying indigenous people's bail, donating to some of the causes linked above, or look for local initiatives to support in your own community!
we need more concerning women in media. I want to be watching a TV show and to go "oh that woman has problems." I want to watch a woman constantly make the worst decisions in the world with no sign of stopping
My dad texted my sister and I yesterday, saying he's probably going to put our house on the market in May. The house that we've lived it for almost my entire life. I decided that I can emotionally deal with it and so I'm going to do the healthiest thing and ignore it until I can't anymore. 🙃
So this started the other day (which for me means any day that’s not today) when I was hungry but didn’t want to get up for food. And I realized that there’s quite a few times where I don’t know if what I’m feeling is because I’m lazy or depressed! I thought I’d create somewhere I can put my problems somewhere so they’re out in the world instead of just in my head. Welcome to my life.
Oh, you threw the first brick at Ferrix? Bitch, I WAS the first brick at Ferrix

This is Charles. He wants to go on a journey around tumblr. could you show him around?
You were the crashing of the satellite Onto my black-earth heart To brighten up the night
You were the body falling off the wall To wear upon the stone Like a waterfall
Oh, oh, where did you go? Oh, oh, I have to know Oh, oh, I search the sky for signs of your violence
