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
I don’t know if I’m late to this trend or anything but if Earth is indeed a death-world, let’s just say for this instance it is, Humans have developed reflexes because of the constant danger living on Earth imposed. Our world is wonky and dangerous, so we adapted. So imagine aliens surprise when we show up one day on a ship as a new recruit for the team, (Not really a specific job or anything the new Human is around for various reasons. No one knows them all because the keep changing and making more), and all is going as normally as it usually goes with the Humans, and one team got a human that is not easily startled, so the crew makes a game out of who can scare the human. (Everyone is terrified of the human, and are really glad that they are allied every time someone tries to do it) and one of the aliens actually manages to startle the human and they are shocked by how the human reflexes are. Since most of the advanced sentient life forms are probably prey species, [since creatures who have a lot of meant in their diet would probably not get along very well] so, this alien successes in triggering the human reflexes, and this is how it goes down: Alien: *does what their species does to scare off predators to startle the serious human* Human: *Immediately launches a counter attack and almost injurs the alien* “HOLY SHIT ZEKRATEL, WHY THE FUCK DID YOU FUCKING DO THAT?!?! I COULD’VE HURT YOU. Your really freaking fucking lucky that I managed to stop the reflexes in time.” Zekratel: *their species version of crying & cowering in fear while human is getting of them from holding a knife to their throat.* “W-w-wha-t w-was-s t-tha-at…… Henry…” A different alien named Alezeb: *is helping Zekratel up and recover* What is a ‘reflex’, Henry??? Henry: *standing up* A reflex is a built in thing for humans. It’s our bodies reaction to what it perceives as dangerous, or a threat. That’s what happens when your species evolved on a death world. We don’t control it, but luckily I was able to catch it in time to not hurt Zekratel.” k. CNN. The entire fucking crew (minus the other human) that saw it: “What the fu-?”
where has this been all my life??
So I found this cool website for learning ancient languages
go wild
Growing up fat, you get made fun of for everything you do, even basic shit like eating and laughing and breathing are funny when you do it because youre fat! And its so hard to not carry that with you as you get older, like I’m still embarassed to eat or dance in front of people or smile in pictures and its ridiculous and I hate it and I wish I was treated with more humanity
So I translated my poem to English, which was a grave mistake cuz God if it's not the first lesson in technical translation to never translate to a forgein language, so I definitely appreciate feedback if anything sounds off. Anyways, enjoy:
Human
A human is flesh, bones, veins and blood,
A human is a nervous system, brain, a thought,
A human is enthusiasm and soul,
A human being is fire, rain and morning dew.
And the fire sleeps in me,
And the idea is within you as well,
And I will be enthusiastic one day too,
And one day the storm will fall asleep in you.
One day I will be the fire
One day I will be the idea,
One day you will be bones and blood
One day I will know where I belong
And than I will be human too
And maybe I will learn to love
One day I will love another for you
One day God will sit on the Garden wall.
good to know
I, of mostly sound body and spirit, request that if I’m ever to die, someone post a new work on my AO3 that says “sorry, she died, ongoing stories postponed forever” because don’t I want my fanfic buddies to think I ghosted them. Amen or whatever you say in a will.
So here’s a spell to make it rain even harder than before (and I know works too because it is currently thundering/lightning, pouring, and hailing outside my house).
1.) Connect with the rain. You must become one with the rain. Combine your energies. Feel the storm pulsing through you. You don’t need to be standing in the rain nor does it need to be raining but it should be either about to rain or already raining for it to work.
2.) Chant as many time as you feel is necessary:
Lightning flash and thunder crash,
Rain hit the ground with a splash.
After that it should begin to rain harder within the next 30 minutes and the spell will last for 5-45 minutes.
