Page 1: Hey- It’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day! Yeah that’s right, we have today AND next month (Native American Heritage Month) now, get used to it!! Support us in these ways ->

Page 2: Support me! Surprise, I’m Diné! Support me by buying my art, sharing my art, or just liking my content. Also my venmo is @Julie-Fiveash. Gotta pay those grad school bills somehow! More->

Page 3: Find out what indigenous lands you reside on. Native-land.ca has a nifty site dedicated to showing indigenous lands. (I feel like we tell people all the time to “educate yourselves” but seriously, DO IT.) Okay so once you have this ->

Page 4: Support Indigenous communities! You can do this in a variety of ways!

- Donate to local ndn mutual aid funds.

- Donate to Indigenous led businesses, education institutions, elder care programs, and more.

- Ask your local museum/library/archive how they’re representing local tribes (repatriation maybe??)

- Support language revitalization programs.

- Support LGBTQ+ orgs that directly support queer Indigenous folks.

More ->

Page 5: Remember Indigenous Peoples are NOT a monolith. I suggested learning your local Indigenous Peoples because we don’t all practice the same customs or speak the same languages and I’m tired of explaining “no my tribe does NOT just give me free money-“ We have different needs and priorities and we’d appreciate it if you took the extra step supporting us in specific ways. Ways that WE say are most helpful.

being a girl and hitting puberty is so traumatic. you go from being a genderless little free thing to being hit with shaving and makeup and growing breasts and skincare and menstruation and suddenly being sexualised when like a few years ago you could take your shirt off to play in the stream and trade yugioh cards with the boys and come home covered in mud and not even think about it. and then you spend years hating being a girl and hating everything puberty did to you and wishing you could be a boy or be completely genderless again and it takes you Many years to come to terms with yourself Or you simply try to Lean In to everything and do makeup tutorials on YouTube and claim it’s for fun. like how can this be treated as normal

in love with how martin says “basira, jon can’t go through helen’s doors. we couldn’t come with you”. like because jon can’t go, martin can’t either. period. it’s such a casual assurance that martin will not leave jon behind or go where he can’t follow. now i’m wondering if (in a future episode) jon might have to go somewhere that martin can’t follow and how he’ll deal with that...

what a good day to remember that butch lesbians (ESPECIALLY trans, poc, and/or fat butch lesbians) aren’t fucking predatory 

the unholy trinity of piss-poor caretakers, tag yourself:

tomboy, meaning "this child is clearly queer but let's hope it goes away"

sensitive, meaning "clearly neurodivergent and often distressed but let's keep going until they grow numb"

mature, meaning "traumatized but let's ignore that"

“some of us are Black”
