how is any of this considered blogging

In 1585, the townspeople of Annecy, Savoy, France, became alarmed over an apple that gave out a “great and confused noise.” Believing it to be full of demons, they pushed the apple into a river.

tbh more people should talk about the issues faced by native people. because like:

• Many young Native men and boys are cutting their traditional braids simply over fear of racism and ridicule from non-Natives.
• “Half of status First Nations children in Canada live in poverty, a troubling figure that jumps to nearly two-thirds in Saskatchewan and Manitoba”
• “Aboriginal suicide rate two to three times higher than the non-Aboriginal rate for Canada, and within the youth age group the Aboriginal suicide rate is estimated to be five to six times higher than that of non-Aboriginal youth.”
• “RCMP statistics released in 2014 show that Indigenous women are four times more likely to be murdered than non-Indigenous women." and the prime minister of Canada doesn’t even want to talk about it.
• “Native Americans are most likely to be killed by police, compared with other racial groups. Native Americans make up about 0.8% of the population, yet account for 1.9% of police killings.”
• Not to mention that many northern Native communities are starving and the government is doing nothing to subsidize costs.

and those are just issues i can think of off the top of my head. this doesn’t even dip into the racial bias, fetishing, and cultural appropriation we as a people face everyday.

being a young native social justice advocate can be disheartening when you hear so much about the problems of every other minority group while yours is practically invisible.

medusa, trying to turn you to stone, but you accidentally called her “melissa” when you first walked in and now you’re too embarrassed to look at her. “it’s alright” she keeps saying “i get it all the time” but you still won’t look. u don’t even remember the stone thing until later
