christmas night (the blessing of the oxen)

Kazimir Malevich, Red square on Black, 1920

The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter it up until a couple was found having sex inside it; now its jaws are opened only for special occasions like Swedish election days

The whale is opened on election day because election in swedish is val, and whale is ... val.

It's also open on Walpurgis night, because that is called Valborg in swedish...

sequoyah was the man who created the tsalagi syllabary before it was ever a tree

if i try to look for apparel or crafts to show off my chickasaw pride, i get results for chickasaw plums which is just a specific species of plum before i get results about human beings

others have mentioned if they google their nations name they get boot companies before their nations website!

theres a tweet that still haunts me that was about a Quirky Quasi American Restaurant in europe or somewhere that was being funny by being cowboy themed and their steaks were named after native american nations. even outside the usa we are nothing but literal dead meat for others consumption

"blackhawk" "apache" - fuck theres a whole wikipedia page for the way weve had our names used for weapons used to colonize and kill us and others!

I got heat stroke a few years ago and I start getting nauseous and headachey and extremely anxious once it starts hitting like, 75f, or 29c. cooking in the summer heats up my whole ass apartment to the point where I will start having some serious problems. it's going to be in the 90s here this week. and I have to go out in it.

so I would like to get food that I can eat cold, rather than having to deal with the stove at all. also some stuff to drink, as I am almost out of like...all of that. I'd also appreciate the opportunity to get ice cream or something, because things kind of suck right now and it would be really nice to be able to have.

current cart for walmart is $146 with fees and driver tip, as I am unable to drive, the bus doesn't run sundays, and it's not safe for me to take my wheelchair and go to the store myself. if you could send me a couple bucks or give me a boost, I would appreciate that.
