and they honestly deserve it WITHOUT having to relocate themselves, their family, and their WHOLE community.
Or neglecting part of their identity or culture
Or being judged for taking money or resources they are already owed.
from a friend in northern ontario. $43 for shitty mass produced muffins that cost $6 down south/in the city
here, have some wilted asparagus at the cheapest low quality grocery story
THIS is why i get so angry when non-natives say, “just go to the grocery store! you don’t need to hunt such and such animal bc of _______ bullshit reason!” Like NO. it’s not as simple as that. going to the store ? this is what you see ^^^^ please educate yourself. I am so very tired of the ignorance and assumptions that all people in america have the same basic amenities. Also stop ridiculing NDN people who hunt their traditional way on THEIR traditional hunting grounds. whatever the “problematic” animal may be. Those animals were put here by the creator FOR indigenous peoples, to live belong side us in harmony and good health, and to feed the people when the time comes. ALL ndn people of the “americas” are hunter/fathered people traditionally. respect our ways of life or GTFO.

I feel like this article is relevant here, especially with that last comment:
Be aware that price-gouging is enourmously prevalent in Alaskan Native villages too, so here comes this young adult who goes out and kills a whale the traditional way, all to feed his village!!! ONE SINGLE WHALE.
Which by the way isn’t even endangered.
And you know what the animal rights’ activists do?
They sent him death threats.
All over a fucking NON-ENDANGERED whale.
This man is a hero in his village, he fed everyone there for days. Below-working class Alsaskan Natives who otherwise would’ve had to travel hours to get to the nearest grocery store.
Entitled vegans always say “well why don’t you just go to the store and buy fresh produce?”
Because there aren’t stores where Rez Natives live.
And if you’re lucky, you’ll find shit like the images above, you wanna pay $30 CA for some fucking asparagus???
Unless you’ve seen the Rez life and how shit is, then you need to shut the fuck up and keep your entitled shit to yourself.
This is why I support hunting for native populations. How else are they going to fucking survive. This shit is ridiculous.
You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common: They don’t alter their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit the views – which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.
Today in “the sentiment is a good one but under the circumstances the punctuation could potentially cause confusion”: just to clarify, the story in question does not, repeat, does not involve a romantic relationship between Sherlock Holmes and HP Lovecraft.
well not with THAT attitude it doesn’t
I might be writing a ficlet where Harry is wearing a shirt that says “Dyke the Halls”
Capitalists will have children go without food before they give up even the tiniest part of their wealth.
I’ve actually asked Republicans why they’re against feeding children. They believe the kids are hungry because their parents aren’t working hard enough. Republicans think people will work harder if their children are hungry. In other words, they believe it’s okay to TORTURE CHILDREN to get their parents to do what they want.
re-reblogging because THAT’S SOME SOCIOPATHIC SHIT
So apparently last year the National Park Service in the US dropped an over 1200 page study of LGBTQ American History as part of their Who We Are program which includes studies on African-American history, Latino history, and Indigenous history.
Like. This is awesome. But also it feels very surreal that maybe one of the most comprehensive examinations of LGBTQ history in America (it covers sports! art! race! historical sites! health! cities!) was just casually done by the parks service.
