FOR YOUR SAFETY, S T O P.

DO NOT VOLUNTEER TO HOST RANDOM STRANGERS. DO NOT AGREE TO BE HOSTED BY A RANDOM STRANGER.

DO NOT PUBLICLY POST THAT YOUR HOUSE WILL BE AN ABORTION SAVE HAVEN. OFFICIAL NETWORKS TO DO THIS ALREADY EXIST, NETWORKS THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO BACKGROUND CHECK, AND SHIELD THEIR VOLUNTEERS FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Even IF you personally know every person you’re offering this to and know with 100% certainty that they’re legit: YOU HAVE JUST CREATED A POTENTIALLY LEGALLY DAMNING DIGITAL PAPER TRAIL.

I know how obnoxious this is to say, but please: reblog this. I see these posts a lot, and I know most of you have good intentions. But these unoffical auntie networks are dangerous, both for those trying to help, and those seeking help. Law enforcement sees you. Violent anti-abortion extremists see you.

For those of you aren't aware and aren't involved in NDN circles, the Supreme Court just declared that tribal territories and reservations are part of states and are under state jurisdiction, including in regards to charging someone and putting them on trial in state courts for crimes related to the tribe (as opposed to this being left up to tribal courts), undoing decades of precedent for the separation of tribal and state governments.

In a few months, the Supreme Court is also going to be giving a verdict on whether or not the Indian Child Welfare Act, the only thing keeping indigenous children with their families and communities instead of being "adopted" (trafficked) to white Christian families at every chance, is unconstitutional. This act is also dependent on the belief that tribes are sovereign nations and that giving our children to people outside of our tribes is akin to the US government taking Canadian children in the Canadian foster system and trying to adopt them out to American families.

If the ICWA falls, we're going to see a modern Sixties Scoop, with Native children being stolen from their tribes and families and cultures and assimilated into white Christian society. This is not only traumatizing for the children and their families, it's also a form of cultural genocide that has been used against us before and has devastating effects.

There are family members I never knew because they disappeared into the foster system as children.

To be clear, the court today holds that Indian country within a state's territory is part of a state, not separate from a state," Kavanaugh wrote in a decision that scholars of Native American law said was a major departure from longstanding precedent.

Just to reinforce the reality of this, this isn't some small potatoes, only once in a while relevant ruling. This affects the sovereignty of Native lands.

Hello everyone!! It's been a long long time, I'm sorry, I'm in a new semester in college and I'm almost finishing it so it's been a bit chaotic hahah but well here I am, I'm more preparing for topik forreal, but I'm using resources for it to set myself a level and know til which point I know for sure. I've been kinda stuck in early intermediate level and also really busy, so I think it will help me a lot to set myself a goal and not being so all over the place.

For this vocabulary, I'm using the book 쏙쏙 한국어 TOPIK 어휘 초급 40 Days. I know most of the words of this list but I'm using it to review as well since I'm not the best at reviewing stuff hehe

And I have made a quizlet deck in case you wanna check it out here. I hope it's helpful for you as well! I will be making posts about grammar points.

Happy learning! it's glad to be back ^^

i have just stumbled upon the most beautiful public document i have ever laid eyes on. this also goes for anyone whose pastimes include any sort of character creation. may i present, the HOLY GRAIL:

These are not all necessarily solid skin colors, some are but others can be used for highlights and shadows in artwork. These are mostly to help artists get an idea of how they want their characters skin color to look. Also, if you’re a writer looking at these shade names to describe these skin colors in your stories DON’T USE THEM. Some of them are alright but most of them aren’t. I’ve been reading fan fiction for a while and nothing annoys me more than reading blue, green, and brown eyes as sapphire, emerald, and chocolate. Like, it’s okay to just write blue, green, and brown. But I especially hate reading things where people use the names of foods and drinks to describe skin colors. I know it’s tempting, I used to be 14 writing fan fiction too, I’m 100% guilty of doing this shit. But listen to me when I tell you, just look up other names for the specific shades you’re looking for. I promise you there are PLENTY. Using names of foods and drinks to describe skin color is so creepy and a little cannibalistic to me. Like, imagine reading a story and the author just hits you out of nowhere with the sentence “His skin was the color of honey roasted ham.” You would be like “Um…what the fuck?” So just look up other words. I promise you, you are better off! The site I use for palettes tends to use the same names for colors over and over again anyway.

Here are the colors and if any of these don’t look right or upset any of you in any way please let me know and I’ll fix them or get rid of them. The last thing I wanna do is upset anyone!

the concept that things evolved from other things was already an idea floating around for basically ever in any scientific circle not completely dominated by creationism. like, darwin didn’t come up with it and he never claimed to. you can find dozens of natural philosophers throughout history like “yo i’m pretty sure that there’s some evolution going on here.”

it was not like the scientists in the 1850s were finding fossils of transitional forms and being like “LOL well dragons i guess!” it was already getting pretty obvious to academics in the 19th century that the earth was really old, life had gone through some serious changes, and there were common ancestors and related species. once maps got good enough for people to go “fuck dude africa and south america fit together” young earth creationism was fucked.

the problem was that there was no mechanism they could devise that would explain how creatures changed from one form into another, which was really kind of the vital piece of the whole thing. they had evidence that there was an evolution of life, but no way to build a theory because they had no way of showing how it might happen. some people were playing with the idea that creatures picked up traits from the environment and passed those to their kids.. somehow, but they had no evidence. they had a chain with no links.

then darwin comes along with some sketches of birds and he’s like “hey so here’s what going on. gregor mendel has shown that traits can be passed along, i’m gonna propose that what’s happening is, creatures that are best suited for an environment to flourish, so this preserves and eventually exaggerates certain traits over time to cause divergences. you go back far enough, like billions of years, all life coulda started from just a few basic types, or maybe even just one ancestor.”

darwin didn’t discover evolution. he proposed evolution by natural selection and he was right.

i mean, mostly. we had to correct his theory a whole bunch as we learned more about things like genetics and dna. he was actually kinda wrong about a ton of shit but that’s to be expected.

secondly, what’s important about newton wasn’t his observations, it was his math. ibn al haytham made a lot of important discoveries and advanced a lot of ideas about physics, especially optics, the big science of the middle ages, but the principles he talked about weren’t quite there yet.

like, he did this whole essay talking about planetary motion which, while more accurate than his contemporaries, was fundamentally inaccurate clockwork universe stuff because he actually hadn’t discovered gravity as a useful theory and he wasn’t able to use it to make predictions about motion.

that doesn’t make him stupid or worthy of being forgotten or nothin’. thats not how science works. he made advances, he didn’t quite have the shape of things yet, his work was important.

newton, building on his successes, was like, yo dawg, orbital mechanics. its like falling, but you miss. here’s a form of math i fucking invented to show some proof. lets check that against the universe.

and we did. and when it turned out his predictions were slightly wrong, some other motherfucker named einstein fixed it. and when he was wrong, etc.

its almost like science is totally built in increments on people who came before and trying discrediting the people who made some of those increments for political reasons is basically just as fucked as forgetting the folks who did the foundation work.

The palace smelled of stone and paint, of people and food and beeswax floor polish.
