This map should be included in every history book.

Oh wow! I’ve been wanting this for ages!

This needs to be in every history book along with a map showing where those nations have been pushed to now.

And on the wall of every geography class room in North America.

A few things about this map:

  1. It isn’t looking at traditional territory. It’s looking at major linguistic groups. This has a rough correlation to some territorial boundaries, but it’s a lot more about geography than territory (look at how the rocky mountains divide up the languages on the west coast). So this wouldn’t be good to use to show ‘where those groups were pushed now’ because it doesn’t show the original territory.
  2. It’s very broad in its definitions. British Columbia has something like…. I think it’s between 12 and 30 distinct languages within it. Here it puts those as like… 3 – 5.
  3. It doesn’t use the nation’s ‘own’ names. It does sometimes, but there are a few here that are definitely the colonial/English translation of the actual name. Does that ‘really’ matter for a map like this? Eh. But if you want a map that’s hung up in every school and the whole ‘decolonize’ thing, might be good to use a map that uses the groups’ preferred name.

interesting

Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and my cupboards bare, I have some food but it will not last and I still do not know how I will cover all the utility bills.

I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.

Miigwech (thank you) everyone. Working hard to at least get caught up and still coming up short, every little bit helps.

Miigwech all, still trying to plan a big shopping trip, there’s better food choices and prices if I can get to Duluth, MN, this means 4hrs of travel and a need for gas money and most likely having to buy a meal for my driver. Though this seems like a lot for just food shopping it makes sense as local options, especially on the reservation, or the tourist trap of a town next to it, include far more expensive and less healthy options. Any help is greatly appreciated, hoping to get all stocked up before the first big snowfall.

Still trying to make this trip happen, and still short on utility bills for January.

please don’t tell people how they should deal with their periods. not everyone wants to use a diva cup, or a reusable pad. these things can be uncomfortable and miserable. 

it’s nice to suggest alternatives that people may not be aware of, but do not demand someone use it because it’s more cost effective or something. 

like some things don’t work for some people and if there is an option that works best for them you shouldn’t argue with them over that.

Good: sharing accurate, factual information about a variety of ways to deal with menstrual cycles (the periods themselves and the other parts)

Bad: shaming anything you yourself wouldn’t use, and/or actively insisting everyone else use it

On that note lemme dig up the Sexplanations video that introduced like 3-5 products I wasn’t aware of, including homemade??? Here is a YouTube link. Longform for copy/pasting: https://youtu.be/5Dkn-e7idP0

lmao i’m already getting hate mail over this post from terfs. fuck off.

As a microbiologist, I cannot discourage you enough from using the sponge method. Especially if you’re treating it with something toxic, like Hydrogen Peroxide, Tea Tree Oil, etc. You can a) get chemical burns in your vagina (ow) even at what seem like low dilutions b) absorb toxins via the mucous membranes in there c) destroy the germs that live in your vagina naturally, opening you up to all sorts of yeast and bacterial infection.

Also? The natural sponge is NOT processed for internal use, so it is potentially a reservoir of bacteria, as well as various chemicals that were never meant for internal use. It was processed for use in the kitchen or bath and has been treated with various things to make it look or smell more appealing to customers. If you’re getting it practically straight out of the ocean, it’s still a bacteria reservoir that can, and possibly will, shred when you try and pull it out of your vagina.

Washables? Cups? Disposables? All fine if you use them properly. There’s probably a few other things that I haven’t covered because I saw the sponge and ran back to make sure nobody was putting hydrogen peroxide in there.

The worst trick a childhood anxiety disorder pulls is, you spend your early years being applauded for being so much more mature than your peers, because you aren’t disruptive, you don’t want any kind of attention, you don’t express yourself, you keep yourself to yourself – this makes you a pleasure to have in class, etc etc – and you start to believe it’s virtue. But you’re actually way behind your peers in normal social development, and who knows if you can ever catch up.

Never heard a truer thing in my life.

holy shit wait you mean being just morbidly terrified of doing anything wrong ISN’T necessarily the same as being “well behaved?!”

Convenient children =/= healthy children

Convenient children do not equal healthy children
