My mother is starting a business to reintroduce buffalo into Southern Texas. To do this, she needs help making money so her loans will get approved. We are a part of the Lipan Apache Tribal Band of Texas, a state recognized tribe, so bringing the buffalo back to our homeland means a great deal to us. For more info and if anyone is willing to donate, please visit the link in the reblog.

obviously feel free to add more. Despite me not being the creator of the thread I still encourage others to see and share more information
Like, people who identify as Queer know the word is used like a slur. Trust me, we know.
So when we say “queer is a slur” was started by terfs, maybe use some critical thinking and try to understand what we mean. That is, if you actually care about queer people and the damage terfs do, rather that just screaming “queer is a slur!” and ignoring the actual point.
Terfs did not like that queer was reclaimed. End of. This is a fact. Queer was too broad, too accepting, and embraced all the people they wanted gone. And I know y'all exclusionists feel the same but get pissed when we point it out so you deny it, but sit down and listen for a minute.
Queer was the preferred term for poc. For bisexuals. For trans people. For people with multiple identities. It neatly encapsulated everything, and was a friendly community to those who felt thrown under the bus by mainstream LGBT activism. It was a political and social statement, “you treated my like I was different and weird, and guess what? I am and that’s something to be proud of.”
So the response? “You can’t use that word. Its bad. Its a slur.”
And at the time, a lot of people rolled their eyes. Everyone knew why they didn’t like the word and brushed that off. It was fine.
So they started more subtly. “Just so you know this word is very harmful and is a slur so be careful how you use it :))) in case you didn’t know :)))) its a slur :))) friendly reminder :))) for the sake of other people of course :))))” type shit on every post involving the word, including and especially posts simply mentioning self identification.
Always worded in friendly, concerned ways, like the derailment was meant to be nice and considerate, and not about normalizing their rhetoric.
And what happened because of that was a younger generation of community kids growing up with these statements being thrown at them and absorbed on every. Single. Post. That. Mentionioned. Queer.
The result? That same generation of kids cutting it all short, removing the meant-to-be-palatable niceness, to just say “queer is a slur.”
Exactly how it was originally intended. “Queer is a slur.” People drop on posts where young queer people talk about it being a self identifier that actually fits them. “Its a slur,” they comment, with nothing else, on posts they clearly didn’t read past that word, written by people twice their age who had reclaimed it before they were even born.
Its nasty. Its disgusting. It’s plain old bigotry, whether the people saying know it or not. It is a terf tactic, plain and simple.
And no one wants to deny that it is indeed used as a slur (right along with all the rest of our identities.) No one wants to be insensitive and force it on people who haven’t reclaimed it.
But invading queer people’s posts to spit “queer is a slur” is flat out queerphobic. You do the dirty work of terfs, of cis straight oppressors, by saying in one simple sentence: “its a dirty word, there is no pride in it, you haven’t/can’t reclaim(ed) it.”
And regardless of your actual intentions, when you do this, that is EXACTLY what you are communicating and doing.
“Queer is a slur” is a terf movement. Stop fucking supporting terfs just because you want to pretend like it isn’t.
To cis lesbian who said ‘we lost one’ when Elliot Page came out as transgender with he/they pronouns, fuck off. Gender identity and sexuality is a long and bumpy road and if your first reaction to someone being comfortable in their own skin is ‘oh now I can’t relate to them so I will be transphobic’, you are the problem. If Elliot Page uses he/they pronouns, then Elliot Page uses he/they pronouns.
If you have got a problem with that then you can fuck right off to space and die there.
*Respect Elliot Page’s pronouns or burn*
Americans- put your Thanksgiving Wokeness where Your Mouth is.
This is the website of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe.
These are the People who met the “pilgrims”.
In spite of this, the US government doesn’t fully acknowledge their sovereignty as a Tribal Nation, or human rights, or their right to live in their own home land.
They are trying to keep their last few scraps of land out of the greedy grabbing hands of the Tr^mp Administration.
Land is more than square footage. It’s ancestral sites, it’s the right to say ‘We live here and you can’t just throw us out when it’s convenient to you’, and it’s Family for generations, and it’s Home.
Donate to help them keep it, and to fund their community programs, education, healthcare, senior services and more.
not be like “ugh the Youths” but i think kids nowadays have gotten Too Comfortable on the internet.
like i see these tweets on twitter like “hey im 14 and i just got kicked out pls rt so i can find somewhere to stay im in x state/city” and like HOLY SHIT i cannot emphasize enough how incredibly dangerous this is. you’re broadcasting to EVERYONE that you are young, vulnerable, and desperate AND information on how to find you!!!! like i know you meant for that to be just for your friends on twitter but that’s a public tweet!!! ANYONE could see it!!! like I saw it and i have no idea who you are you are not in my circle and yet!!! so like WHO ELSE has seen it!!!

I see people give the Superman writers flack for putting him in ‘Metropolis’ having moved from ‘Smallville’ but I really feel like we need to be looking closer at Batman, defender of ‘Gotham’
let me be very clear that if you voted for donald trump or support him in any capacity you are not welcome here. my blog is not the place for you and i do not want you interacting with me.
To my younger (American) followers:
Even if the polls are ridiculous you still have to vote Even if the experts say it’s over you still have to vote Even if the newscasters have called your state you still have to vote
Elections are decided by the people who show up on election day. All the polls in the world don’t mater if you don’t go into the booth and make a choice. All the experts can be (and frequently are) wrong if you don’t go into the booth and make a choice. News media tend to call stats at 5% of votes tallied. If your polls are still open, you can still change things.
Don’t let a strong summer showing in the media dissuade you. You still have to show up in November. It does matter. If people see their candidate winning and decide that they don’t have to show up and be heard, there is a chance the other side will rally. You have to participate. No matter what.
Children who have no concept of age are adorable. yes, Tim fell of the high bars.
At least it’s not a brick

Denver organizers and protestors like the one mentioned above were arrested for protesting and demanding justice for Elijah McClain. Many of them are being charged with 18 counts of kidnapping and rioting for surrounding the cops at a protest. Please share and consider donating to Denver legal and political funds.

You all pulled me back into this fic idea so now Im pulling all you with me into this WIP
Because y’all started reblogging my old fic idea post, I had to drag up a fic I never posted, read it, and then fall in love with the idea all over again. Without further ado, here’s the summary and first chapter I wrote like way back when:
Summary:
Tim has been Robin for about a year and a half now, and trust him, he’s seen some pretty wacked up stuff, but never this. There’s a man in a leather jacket and a red helmet that’s been following him around, almost acting as a kind of violent and disgruntled guardian angel. He’ll save Tim from a bullet, or maybe help end his fight sooner, and disappear before anyone is the wiser. But the thing that worries him the most is not that he has a stalker or that the leather jacket get-up is seriously screaming issues.
It’s the fact that this guy reminds him so much of Robin II.
But that can’t be right because Jason Todd is dead. Right?
OR
Jason comes back from the dead, and he’s still angry at Bruce and Dick and the world, but God knows he can’t be angry at a kid who gets thrown into the thick of it because of some stupid adult’s problems. He’s been that kid for most of his life, and afterlife. But goddamnit, the last ounce of goodness he has left in him is screaming at him to GET THE KID OUT OF THERE BEFORE HE ENDS UP LIKE YOU. So now Jason’s grand come-back plan has just been revised.
Step 1: Get revenge on Bruce Step 2: Kill the Joker Step 3?: SAVE THE KID
Keep reading
like to get jason verified next update
reblog if you want him to keep suffering
F for Jason Todd tbh 😔😔😔
p.s. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE LOVELY MESSAGES ABOUT ME GETTING THE POSITION!! it's not actually a job, it's a non-profit student organization!!! but i'm beyond glad to be part of it!!!
leftist antisemites are really everywhere on this hellsite making & reblogging their posts like “the Jews have too much power and privilege and actually their very recent genocide was not that bad compared to what my group experiences and antisemitism doesn’t even exist in my country and especially not in liberal spaces”
It Has Begun
So it looks like the literal fascist takeover has begun (this was published July 18, 2020).
Trump's federal jackboots are testing the waters in Portland. Where is next?
The ACLU is fighting them in court, but we all need to expose this and do everything we can to stop them before it's too late.
ACLU story and call to action: X
More than 1/8th of the White Mountain Apache Tribe has tested positive for Covid-19.
They have been hit EXTREMELY hard and I have seen no posts going around talking about it. It is one of the hardest hit places in ARIZONA, a state that already has horribly high case numbers.
They have a Covid relief gofundme. Please donate if you can and spread this if you can't.
Found this on Facebook! BOOST!
Tell Etsy that #ThisIsNotNative
Women in Bradley County Jail are being kept in horrible, unsanitary, and unsafe conditions. Literally signs for help in the window.
The best way to help is to bail them out!!
Please if you have a couple of dollars to spare we are doing our best to get as many women out. Women who can’t, will get money in their commissary for sanitary products.

i didn't make the carrd, but it's one of the most useful links right now. #JunkTerrorBillNow needs the most urgency, but there are other issues present too.
i'm begging you all to reblog.
My stolen bones object
Having fuck spine is just like *does something thinking it'd be good for it* *hurts More, actually"
Please. White people. PARTICUARLY those with large blogs with large followings.
Stop perpetuating blood quantum for native people. None of these bullshit 1/64th native jokes. None.
Native people have been saying for ages— BEGGING EVEN— for you to stop. It hurts us. It is not your job to make decisions on who is native and who isn’t.
Native people view being native as a relation of how we are connected with our people and tribe. Not “how native” we are.
Stop stop STOP perpetuating this bullshit.
Nobody on the left ever wants to hear this, but a large part of the reason we keep losing elections is that we have chased away moderates and constantly act like their very presence is poison. There’s a persistent delusion on the left that we’re some kind of silent majority and it’s just not true. We’re not a large group, and we do need to loop someone else in if we ever want to form any kind of government at all. Elections are not protest movements for a reason. They are in fact a terrible time for such a thing. Especially in a multi-party system where there is always another potential choice just around the corner and nobody is obligated to buy what you’re selling, no matter how convinced you are the only moral option is what you believe. If you want to convert someone to the cause it has to happen long before that. And if you can’t, but they are willing to stand with you this time? Then that’s gonna have to be good enough. They don’t have to be your best friend. They don’t have to be your comrade.
I saw a woman on twitter who’d just joined the Democratic Socialists of America talking about how if she hadn’t gone to an in person meeting she never, ever would have done it because their online presence fucking sucks, filled with frothing keyboard warriors constantly screaming about guillotines and violence and brutal revolution. And then she went to a meeting and it was all sensible, helpful people doing things like paying off parking tickets for those in need or arranging for necessities like food or rent to be covered. I think about this a lot, how bad the left’s advertising is. We can’t spit contempt in everyone’s face and then expect their help when the time comes. That’s not how human nature works. And yes, the internet has definitely made this phenomenon worse.
I don’t care about the revolution. The revolution does not exist. I care about getting useful politicians into a position where they might help somebody. I care about practicality. All these glorious and correct ideas mean dick shit if nobody ever gets to actually use them.
please make my birthday not full of crying
hi hi! my name’s Jessica and I’m a black trans girl who works primarily with homeless queer youth. my birthday’s coming up next week and I’ve had pretty awful experiences w/birthdays since I stopped talking to my (emotionally/physically/sexually) abusive bio family. I made an Amazon wishlist for some stuff i want/need - if you have the means, please buy me a thing or signal boost this post!
