Whispering dreams so blurred and tired

they’re so precious 🥺

bonus:

Hey you let me teach you a little something about braids! To indigenous people our hair is everything. When braiding our hair we’re supposed to have good thoughts because we’re connecting with out body, mind, and spirit; that’s what the three strands are for.

Braids are a simbol of strenght and wisdom and they reflect our identity as indigenous people. I wear my braid to show that I’m proud of who i am, and also to honor my ancestors.

I was teased and bullied because I had long hair, and i was also called a girl sometimes. But I wanna show boys and men that we should never be ashamed of our long hair. Our power is in our braids so let’s show them proudly. 

That’s why I want all boys and men to show off their braids proudly. Duet this video and if you’re watching this like it and show your support to our boys with braids. hoka.

THAT TIME A THIEF STOLE AN ARMY’S WALLET THEN RETURNED IT BECAUSE THEY WERE SCARED THE ARMY HAD A BOYFRIEND WHO HAD A HIGH RANK IN THE POLICE OR SOMETHING BUT IT WAS JUST AN EDITED PICTURE OF BTS’ KIM NAMJOON IN A COP COSTUME!!! 

SERIOUSLY, WHEN NAMJOON SAID “WE WILL PROTECT YOU” HE WASN’T BLUFFING.

And that’s not even getting into the casual appropriation of Jewish ideas in certain circles of paganism, or the erasure of Jewish ideas and culture by witches who reinvent history in a rush to shit on Christians for whatever reason, or the OVERT antisemitism touted by literal Nazis looking to use pagan spaces to advance their ideas.

Do not contribute to this. Do not let our community be a haven for this bullshit. Listen to your Jewish friends and neighbors and support their voices.

oh well that couldn’t possibly be–

Big Nose George was killed by mob violence, despite already being sentenced by the court to hang to death for murdering 2 lawmen

The physician who performed the autopsy decided for some ungodly reason to have Big Nose George’s skin made into a pair of shoes. what doctor does this??? 

the doctor later gets elected governor. Guess which shoes he wears to his inauguration ceremony?

not to be outdone, his 15 year old assistant, Lillian Heath, keeps the top part of George’s skull. She keeps it all her life & uses it as an ash tray, a pen holder, and a doorstop. She goes on to become the first doctor in the state. 

what the fuck was going on in the wyoming medical field

here’s a closeup of the shoes, which are now on display in the county museum

1. it’s definitely worth reading the Wikipedia article on this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Nose_George

2. people were asking what part of him got used to make the shoes- apparently it was his thighs and chest (including his nipples!) that got made into shoes and a Medical bag.

3. People have been using Human Skin for Dubious Leathergoods on and off for a while now, but it got real popular in the Victorian Era because medical science had finally bought into doing autopsies and people were exploring what could be learned from/made with dead bodies to a crazy degree, sort of how modern statistics technology is being used to engage in mass surveilance and propganda.  We will presumably get over this phase eventually.
