and they honestly deserve it WITHOUT having to relocate themselves, their family, and their WHOLE community.
Or neglecting part of their identity or culture
Or being judged for taking money or resources they are already owed.
from a friend in northern ontario. $43 for shitty mass produced muffins that cost $6 down south/in the city
here, have some wilted asparagus at the cheapest low quality grocery story
THIS is why i get so angry when non-natives say, “just go to the grocery store! you don’t need to hunt such and such animal bc of _______ bullshit reason!” Like NO. it’s not as simple as that. going to the store ? this is what you see ^^^^ please educate yourself. I am so very tired of the ignorance and assumptions that all people in america have the same basic amenities. Also stop ridiculing NDN people who hunt their traditional way on THEIR traditional hunting grounds. whatever the “problematic” animal may be. Those animals were put here by the creator FOR indigenous peoples, to live belong side us in harmony and good health, and to feed the people when the time comes. ALL ndn people of the “americas” are hunter/fathered people traditionally. respect our ways of life or GTFO.

I feel like this article is relevant here, especially with that last comment:
Be aware that price-gouging is enourmously prevalent in Alaskan Native villages too, so here comes this young adult who goes out and kills a whale the traditional way, all to feed his village!!! ONE SINGLE WHALE.
Which by the way isn’t even endangered.
And you know what the animal rights’ activists do?
They sent him death threats.
All over a fucking NON-ENDANGERED whale.
This man is a hero in his village, he fed everyone there for days. Below-working class Alsaskan Natives who otherwise would’ve had to travel hours to get to the nearest grocery store.
Entitled vegans always say “well why don’t you just go to the store and buy fresh produce?”
Because there aren’t stores where Rez Natives live.
And if you’re lucky, you’ll find shit like the images above, you wanna pay $30 CA for some fucking asparagus???
Unless you’ve seen the Rez life and how shit is, then you need to shut the fuck up and keep your entitled shit to yourself.
40% of Detroiters have no internet access. The Detroit Community Technology Project and similar projects across the city are skipping over the telcos altogether and wiring up their own mesh broadband networks, where gigabit connections are transmitted by line-of-site wireless across neighborhoods from the tops of tall buildings; it’s called the Equitable Internet Initiative.
This is possible in part because of the ubiquitous abandoned dark fiber, which runs under the streets of Detroit, as it does across many US cities, unused and dormant. The project relies on “digital stewards” who undergo a 20-week training program that teaches them to pull fiber, configure routers, and install and service microwave antennas, as well as teaching their communities to use the services delivered over the internet.
Each local mesh is designed to wire together a neighborhood on an intranet that would continue to function even in the event of internet outages, providing a resilient hub for organizing responses to extreme weather, natural disasters, and other crises.
I’m really over this mindset a lot of black folks seem to have. The mindset that “since this person is black we have to defend and stand up for them no matter what”. A lot of these black people, especially black entertainers, don’t deserve any of that. Like I’m not about to defend anyone who continually makes the decision to say or do things that are wrong. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
Me *smacking two pans together*: IF YOU’RE NOT A TRANS WOMAN YOU DON’T DECIDE WHATS TERF RHETORIC HOW ARE WE STILL HAVING THIS CONVERSATION
Like yeah sure some people can tell what t//erf rhetoric is but this doesn’t directly affect YOU so maybe don’t jump into intra community discourse to call trans women t//erfs you freaks
