Still Trying

On this Indigenous People's Day in USAmerica, support Indigenous ppl by signing the petition to President Biden and the Supreme Court to uphold the ICWA, keeping Native children with their families. Oil companies are trying to strike it down in their bid to further exploit Indigenous Americans and pump money and oil from their lands.

He was a lifelong member of PFLAG after his daughter came out as a lesbian.

His daughter also says that when she came out to him, he replied

The Khufu (𓐍𓅱𓆑𓅱) “ḫwfw” ‘He protects me’ (ca. 2589–2566 BC - 4th Dynasty) ship 𓂧𓊪𓏏𓊛 “dpt” (people boat) is an intact full-size vessel from ancient Egypt - Beloved Land 𓇾𓌸𓂋𓆵𓇋𓊖𓊖 “t3-mrı͗” that was sealed into a pit in the Giza pyramid 𓍋𓅓𓂋𓉴 “mr” complex at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Giza around 2500 BC.

The ship most likely used to transport the deceased pharaoh’s body to the pyramid complex to be buried. The boat was meant to assist him in the afterlife, to join the boat 𓅱𓇋𓄿𓊛 “wiA” (solar boat) of Ra 𓂋𓂝𓁜 “rˁ” Ra and live forever 𓆖 “ḏ.t”.

The ship is now preserved in the Giza Solar boat museum. The ship was almost certainly built for Khufu (King Cheops - Greek), the second pharaoh 𓉐𓉼 “pr-ˁ3” ‘Great House’ of the Fourth 𓏽 Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Egypt. Like other buried 𓈎𓂋𓋴𓌟𓏏𓊭 “krs” Ancient Egyptian 𓂋𓐝𓎀𓀂𓀭𓏪 “rmT” ships, it was apparently part of the extensive grave goods intended for use in the afterlife, and contained no bodies 𓄡𓏏𓏤𓏪 “ḫt.w”.

The ship was one of two rediscovered in 1954 by Kamal el-Mallakh – undisturbed since it was sealed into a pit carved out of the Giza bedrock. It was built 𓂓𓏏𓀋 “k3.t” largely of Lebanon 𓂋𓏤𓏠𓈖𓈖𓈊 “rmnn” cedar 𓂝𓈙𓆭 “ˁš” planking in the "shell-first" construction technique, using unpegged tenons of Christ's thorn.

The ship was built with a flat bottom composed of several planks, but no actual keel, with the planks and frames lashed together with Halfah grass, and has been reconstructed from 1,224 pieces which had been laid in a logical, disassembled order in the pit beside the pyramid.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.

Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture

People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.

I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.

This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.

It would be more fitting for Indy to meet Rick in the mid 30s when the Nazis are attempting the plot in the Last Crusade. Would be the perfect cameo, but even more perfect if they had a mutual friend in Marcus Brody or Sallah.

I dont even mean the pandemic, though that certainly doesn't help. I mean the... the distance. The coldness. The long work days in front of a computer or a factory machine with next to no human contact. The neighbours who don't know each others names. The way we move in and out of each others lives as we chase jobs and opportunities across the world to new, lonely cities. Friends and roommates here for a year then gone forever.
