happy PRIDE i’m here i’m queer and i believe the land should be given back to the proper indigenous stewards.

Non-Natives reblogging this are great and wonderful

Please remember that "land back" does not mean "indigenous people are mystical elves with innate epigenetic wisdom of land stewardship and they don't belong in big cities," nor does it mean "non-indigenous people can't be farmers." What it DOES mean is that "non-indigenous farmers should be paying the equivalent of property taxes to the native governments their land was stolen from." It means, "there's a great deal of indigenous scholarship on sustainable agricultural practices that farmers should be taking into account, because indigenous agriculture was more advanced than European agriculture at the time Europe invaded the Americas and western agriculture *still* hasn't caught up in terms of figuring out how to produce equivalently high crop yields without compromising the ecosystem." It means, "non-indigenous farmers should be in an intellectual discourse with indigenous agricultural scientists and indigenous peoples that still do traditional farming, figuring how to repair the damage western farming practices have done to the ecosystem."

It also means that indigenous peoples should regain the right to sustain themselves on the land according to the practices they want, and they should have free reign to perform their cultural practices and protect their holy sites, as opposed to the current model where if they try to honor their dead on public lands they get violently removed.

Guys, please please vote

anyone else live under the assumption that they’re constantly doing something wrong

How about the assumption that everyone’s just being polite and any minute now they’re going to snap and let you know how awful you are

Everyone who reblogs this post, please read about the psychological phenomena of Childhood Emotional Neglect.

This... deserves to get tagged under internet heritage posts, I think. The current epitome of the absolute ridiculousness of people's actions. Good fucking god

very cute that both people and animals tilt their heads when confused

literally the physical equivalent of going "?" and it needed to be expressed through the entire animal kingdom the same way bc it was that cute

Hieee just came on to say if you're USAmerican and you have the ability to vote out the christo-fascist puss nobs infecting our country this year please very much do so. Pay attention to your local election dates and be sure you're are registered to vote. And remember, there are two big votes, not just the one coming up this spring/summer. Primary and General. The Primary is essentially a state-by-state poll on who should proceed to the General election. General takes place in November. Take the time to educate yourself on these, when and where they take place, and go vote. If you're nervous about voting in person, ask for a mail-in ballot during registration. If anyone has any valuable resources/knowledge/advice to add here please do and I'll boost.

And again, please reblog this post!

So far: 34 votes, only 5 reblogs.

When I say “free water, free food, free shelter, free healthcare, free education for everyone” in that “everyone” I even include the people I hate. Too many people get surprised at the idea that I do wish for the people I hate to have better lives.

When I say EVERYONE, I mean EVERYONE. These are things ALL people should have. If you reblog this saying “except THIS group” then you’ve missed the point entirely.

i want to remove the boots from necks altogether, not just be the one to put on the boot.

And if you really REALLY want One Particular Person to suffer and/or die… that’s what Assault And/Or Murder is for. You don’t need the backing of the state in order to inflict harm on another human being.

Okay but I love that last addition. Do it yourself, coward! Don’t outsource it to the government!

i said it was my favorite piece of media that i’ve hyperfixated on since the tender age of 12 and have not let go of since. i didnt say it was a Good piece of media

“what do you like about it so much?” the fact that it cocooned me like a tender wool blanket during my vulnerable teenage years. next question
