Natives and the American Holocaust
indiancountry:
We’ve made it pretty clear that history has done an awful job of representing the persecution of Native Americans after European contact. Starting with the spread of smallpox and other diseases that killed an estimated 90 percent of the population to slavery, forced removals like the Trail of Tears and boarding schools.

oogishkamaanisee:
We need to have a little talk about the ideology of terra nullius. I see a lot of people using some form of it when discussing Indigenous rights, and even if unintentional, it is wildly problematic.
Basically, terra nullius is the idea that the land, Turtle Island, was essentially empty. But wait, weren’t there millions of peoples here in hundreds or even thousands of diverse...

Random fact about you:I was named partially after a malamute in a Disney movie from 1961, the dog is actually a male, but my dad really liked the dog. He also had a female friend named Nikki who was decapitated in an car accident in the ’70s whom I was named after as well....

I really don’t get offended either. The only thing that makes me mad is when it’s disrespected. I feel like if you’re wearing a headdress with the intention of touching down with your roots, it’s fine. Like on a journey of self-discovery. I plan on buying a headdress because I plan on doing that. Taking shrooms, and going on a journey. But it’s disrespected when people with NO...

Planned Parenthood is on Tumblr!
plannedparenthood:
Planned Parenthood is excited to be launching our new Tumblr that’s all about sexual and reproductive health – bodies, birth control, relationship issues, “is it normal for this to do this?” type things. In the coming weeks and months we’ll be sharing what we know, answering questions, and just… tumblring.
We hope you like it! And we hope it helps.
Incompetence: "Not all White People are Like That" →
This is easily the most derailing comment that I get, because it does three very harmful things.
First, it manipulates the situation. It makes me (the actual oppressed of race relations) look like the perpetrator. Instead of examining or asking me why I feel disdain toward white people, this…

Go West and the fallacy of American settler...
So, would anyone be interested in submitting work to a zine that works as a counter to the exhibit “Go West” that is up at the Blanton Museum of Art? I am tired of being pissed off about it and doing nothing. It’s just this total hero worship of white settlers and the “untouched wilderness” of the Western frontier. I feel there is a severe mishandling of the issues...
