though it is focused on western/cowboy aesthetics and media, it is necessary to state that this history is trenched in racism, colonialism, dehumanization, and genocide.
along with this, many reproductions of cowboy culture are heavily whitewashed, and disregard the origins of cowboys, which are rooted in Mexican, Indigenous, and Black american cultures.
additionally, though a queer culture was established among cowboys at this time, a culture that should be studied and respected, that does not negate, diminish, or permit us to overlook the racism that frequently coexisted.
i am whole-heartedly in support of land back, decolonization, and all other forms of Indigenous liberation and self-determination. additionally, liberation for Indigenous people must be international, which thus necessitates a free Palestine. support for this can be shown in many ways, including Clicks for Palestine, joining the boycott, joining a protest, or with Gaza Funds
be aware of these realities and keep them at the forefront of your mind as you engage with my blog, or with any content related to western/cowboy aesthetics and media.
any of my fanfics, web weavings, memes, or personal posts can be found under the mine tag. much of my original content is for the bonanza fandom:

this is even more niche than my usual, but i have been obsessed with these ladies recently. these women are more developed than the majority of bonanza’s female characters, but the fact that the narrative requires them to die makes it so there’s a lot we don’t get to see. therefore, the concepts of these ladies really fascinate me! i hope y’all enjoy 🏜️

a screencap from the episode “elizabeth, my love.” ben cartwright and elizabeth stoddard cartwright- played by brunette actress geraldine brooks- stand together in a chandler’s shop, a model clipper ship and other maritime goods visible. they half hug, ben with an arm around elizabeth’s shoulders, she with a hand on his chest. he voices concern about her working while pregnant, but elizabeth argues she’s not the kind of woman who wants taking care of. ben kisses her nose after she wins the argument, and elizabeth grins up at him.

Namaygoosisagagun First Nation/Collins has burned to the ground. The entire community is nothing but ashes after being quickly consumed by wildfires. They did not have any support from emergency services, and no one offered aid. The community saved themselves by escaping into boats because no one came.
Mishkeegogamang and Cat Lake have lost power. Families are ending up in shelters with nothing. Armstrong, Lac La Croix, Whitesand, Gull Bay, Lac des Mille Lacs are currently in the fires path and all members are being evacuated.
All this loss, all this devastation, and it was entirely preventable.
After steadily underfunding wildland firefighting and purposefully excluding Indigenous wildland firefighters and Indigenous wildfire organizations from wildfire operations, firefighter training, decisionmaking, and resource exchanges, in 2025, Doug Ford slashed the forest firefighting budget.
It's hard to ignore his decision to cut funding and leave us out of adequate fire training (even though we've lived with forest fires for thousands of years—far longer than settlers have been in Canada—and made sure fires like the ones we're all seeing today were prevented through kinisitotēn) when, despite making up less than 5% of the population, we account for 42% percent of all wildfire evacuations in Canada.
And when we are successfully evacuated, we face discrimination and racism—like Kashechewan—because it's always been easier to blame us than it is to blame the true culprit: denialism, corportate greed, and colonization.
The people of Collins and every other impacted community deserve better.
Right now, the AFN is currently accepting donations to help Collins First Nation. If you're able to, please consider donating.
ONWA (Ontario Native Women's Association) is another great place to donate to. They have outreach vans going to motels and inns and offering food, water, resources, and cultural support to those impacted by the wildfires.
Other places to consider donating to are Mikinakoos Emergency Fund, Red Cross, True North Aid, Indigenous Climate Action. You can also send donations directly to Whitesand First Nation via e-transfer ([email protected]) and they request that you add your full name in the e-transfer comment section to receive a tax receipt.
*Before sending money, verify that the appeal appears on an official First Nation, Tribal Council or registered charity channel.
If you can't offer financial support, please consider donating items of need. Moontime Connections is currently accepting drop-off donations. If you live in the Thunder Bay area, Namaygoosisagagun Health Office is also taking in donations! They can also bemailed to Superior Inn Hotel & Conference Centre at 555 West Arthur Street, Thunder Bay, ON, P7E 5P8.
