witchy reminder

if you are going to use your own blood for magic in any capacity, use sterile, single use lancets - unless you have an autoclave, whatever you're using will never be "sterile," no matter how much isopropyl alcohol you use, no matter how many times you run that sewing needle through a lighter or candle flame.

bloodborne illnesses are no joke.

stay safe.

Chairman sitting Bear's statement regarding SRST Public Safety, January 9th, 2026.

I have been receiving reports and evidence of First Nations people being racially targeted, assaulted, and detained by the federal agency Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). We want to remind our members to be safe and proactive by carrying with you at a minimum your tribal identification cards or a copy of your degree of Indian Blood. Our tribal identification affirms our citizenship and political status.

Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigrant enforcement on our own lands. Any federal activity within our boundaries must recognize and respect our tribal sovereignty, treaty obligations, and established jurisdictional boundaries. Any ICE presence or activity within our lands is not authorized, not welcome, and will be addressed. Unauthorized personnel will be escorted off our lands.

If you are profiled, harassed, or detained, please notify us immediately (701) 854-8529. My staff is working on a "Know Your Rights" information phone line that will be released in the incoming days. Please watch our social media page for further communication.

Again, I strongly advise all First Nations people to carry your tribal information as a practical measure. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is committed to the protection, dignity, and well-being of our own people and to the continued exercise of our rights and jurisdiction. End image description.]

Your practice is authentic because it is built by your interests and actions, because it is cultivated alongside your relationship with magic, and because it is the practice that best fits your beliefs, worldview and lifestyle. Your practice is valid because it works for you, because it is thoughtful and experimental, and because it is functional.

Yes, use discernment. Yes, engage in dialogue about the origins and implications of practices. Yes, be open to new ideas. Yes, ask pertinent questions about everything. But don't wait for someone else to review your work and approve it. Build your practice for yourself; no one else is building theirs for you.

you cannot convince me illegal immigration is a real problem and I'm sick of pretending it is. yk when you were a kid and you got mad at your sibling for crossing an imaginary line that you drew in the car? that's what you're doing right now except you're actually killing people over it

we will try again today guys
