KILL SWITCH AU FOR THE WINN @king-candybug-backup

Still need to finish chapter 10 but ouGH god its soooogooood

since I get to meet the incredible Mike Flanagan and Kate Seigel this weekend at the Stanley Hotel, I decided to make them a piece of my favorite series they’ve done <3 really hope they like it!

What Native people say about the use of sage: you can use sage, but you cannot smudge as nothing you are doing (waving sage around) is actually smudging. Smudging is a ceremony and you are, we promise, not smudging. Please buy sage from either us, or someone who sources the sage from us. White sage may not be considered endangered by the US government but corperate sourcing is making it difficult for us to source sage for our own religious purposes. Let alone to sell it.

What white people hear: never use sage ever, don’t ever buy it, don’t own it, don’t even look at it.

Look, y’all. There’s a couple of facets to my talk today.

1) Yes! You can buy sage! You really, truly can! Buy it from either native sellers (go to a powwow! Eat our food, buy our stuff, watch some dancing!) Or buy it from a seller who sources the sage from native people. Pick one. And no, buying it from 5 Below doesn’t count.

2) you CANNOT smudge. This isn’t just you “shouldn’t”— this is a YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF SMUDGING. Waving a sage stick around your doorways IS NOT SMUDGING. It is smoke clensing. Smudging, depending on the tradition and tribe, could easily have dancing and drums involved. You, as a white person, do not have the cultural BACKGROUND to even know how it works. At all. Period.

3) please, for FUCKS SAKE, stop making posts here on tumblr where you tell other white people about cultural appropriation and what they can and cannot do. Please stop, your license has been revoked because none of you bother to get the facts right. We native people are FULLY CAPABLE OF DOING IT OURSELVES. Consider instead: a) reblogging our posts where we talk about it! We’re here! We have made posts!! b) Making a post that states what we said and then LINKS BACK TO US. Screenshot with a link if you must. Stop centering your own voices in these conversations. You are already centered in everything, stop centering yourselves in a native space.

I’m tired of this nonsense, y’all.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk ™

meirl

it’s because waiters serve us more than cops ever will

do not ignore this

our momentum is slowing down. we can’t let our dashes go back to normal when the world is not normal. so, if you are reading this, you are ~legally~ obligated to choose 2 numbers below; you must complete the task of those two numbers today. don’t pretend you didn’t see this. either do them right now or set a reminder to get it done before the sun goes down. the timer starts now. choose two. 

hey! since we’re very close to pride month, friendly reminder to use cishet instead of straight! let’s not forget about straight trans people!

But also remember that if you say “cishet” as a sneaky way to imply “asexuals” I will sneak into your house and pour milk in your shoes

Oh THIS is why I’ve been getting anon hate these past few days

If you are against BLM, you are unwelcome on my page.

If you support AllLivesMatter or BlueLivesMatter, you are not my friend.

If you think the riots are unjustified and irrational, unfollow me right now.

I am not black, but I support the black community all the way. I cannot possibly understand your pain or your suffering, but I'm with you. Now and forever.

Reblog if you have a scar with a story behind it.

This one time I tripped

this one time I split my forehead open

This one time a dark wizard tried to kill me when I was a infant but couldn’t

Stab

I tried to hold an angry cat

someone put an iron on my hand

My teammate tried to jump over me and cut the back of my neck open with his hockey skate.

I got a couple left over from chicken pox.

tried to climb a dead tree

as a child I came up behind a sleeping dog with a squeaky toy in my mouth

Twisted up in rusty metal chains.

got one from a sledding accident and one from learning That’s Why We Don’t Cook Barefoot

Threw a weeding fork into the top of my foot

I tripped on a petrified dinosaur footprint.

This one time I was sharpening a knife

Two:

this one time, I tried to open a new x-acto blade and it cut me

this one time, a bike fell on my face

fell off the dock and hit the barnacles on the way down

Got pushed off the monkey bars and landed face first

it really sucks that pride month means that all the aphobes come out of the woodwork, but at least it means I know who to block

gotta be really clear on this: aces are valid, aros are valid, aroaces are valid, aspec people are valid, asexuality is NOT heterosexuality, aromanticism is NOT heteroromanticism, and anyone on the ace/aro spectrum is welcome in the LGBT community

So disgusted. So angry. This shit MUST end.

I gave my gender to the local crows to befriend them

acab: assigned cryptid at birth

(but no, srsly, fuck cops)

just cuz i have a broken tablet connector doesnt mean i cant make stuff for the gays
