I'm Once Again In The Desert And My Horse Here Doesn't Have Any Name Tags.

I'm once again in the desert and my horse here doesn't have any name tags.

name one native american intellectual off the top of your head, name one native american actor or actress off the top of your head, name one native american senator, one native american news anchor, or an author or a tv personality or a singer or a poet or a comedian, name a single native american teacher you’ve had, can you? probably not

ok so now think of one native american cartoon character you know of or a sports team relating to native americans whether it’s their actual name or their team logo, or a town you live in or near with a “native” name bet a lot of these things came to you right away i bet you didn’t even have to think

needing native representation in media, education and government are not decoy issues, the commercialization and appropriation of native cultures are not decoy issues, the lack of native representation is institutional oppression at work

why did the funeral happen when rose was eight when jaspers appeared dead when she was four? how did you miss that?

Hm. Could you show your work on that? I’d have to see some firm chronology evidence before slapping the authors down for getting it wrong, especially if the exact dates were as hard to come by and obscure-part-of-a-flash as I’d imagine. Which would make it pretty understandable to miss, if I’m guessing.

(That and, like… unlike the divorce thing that it turned out they knew about? I really don’t care about this discrepancy even if it’s true. It’s something not even Andrew would find it important to date. Hell, I wouldn’t put it past Mom having a re-funeral for the cat a couple anniversaries later.)
