I am not Palestinian, I am Indigenous American.

One hundred and forty six years ago my people were forced to move to Oklahoma, this event was known as the Ponca Trail of Tears. The land my people were forcibly moved to didn't have any proper shelter or food, so my people both froze and starved to the point we are a fraction of what we once were.

The government and schools don't talk about what America has done to my people, I only know because of my great-grandfather and his sister.

The American Government tried to take our identity away, our language is dying out. All because my people weren't living the same lifestyle the land stealers were living.

I stand with Palestine because I see Israel doing what America did to my people and the many Indigenous tribes. I know what it is like to have your identity and culture oppressed and to be dehumanized, and I refuse to let history repeat itself. I will continue to stand with Palestine even when I no longer walk the Earth.

that comment about how you should not borrow grief from the future has saved me multiple times from spiraling into an inescapable state of anxiety. like every time i find myself thinking about how something in the future could go wrong i remember that comment and i think to myself: well i never know, it might get better. it might not even happen the way i think it will and if it does happen and it is sad and bad ill be sad about it then, when it happens. and it’s somehow soo freeing

blog mix up :/

so to spin you a yarn dear reader… the other day i set up a side blog and was just kinda playing around with the feature bc i thought it was neat. intending to maybe post the type of stuff i wouldn’t want to on my main account. for example stuff that was more sexual/erotic (read: porn lol). u know, pretty standard thing to do

and well i just had the amazing (read: terrible) realisation that i did not fully understand how this feature worked. and it turns out everything ive been posting for the last few days has actually been going to that blog instead. yay :)))

that’s not exactly terrible, but it is mildly annoying lol. and to make matters worse, SOMEHOW the only posts that i did put here were ones i intended for the other blog because they were private. yeahhh not good. so to summarise: everything just ended up completely the opposite way round. it was only like 2 posts tho which ive now deleted, so thankfully i noticed sooner rather than later i guess?

idk what the point of this post is (really just to vent tbh lol) and i know its not really that big a problem. but yeah if anyone noticed ive been posting weird, well now u know why
