It's kinda shocking to me how few people seem to know how prevalent the 'my great grandmother was cherokee' myth is and how it's almost never actually true, especially when it comes with things like 'never signed up' or 'fell off the trail' or 'courthouse burned down destorying the documentation' etc etc.

People just don't even seem to know the history like.. when the Trail happened. My great great great grandfather was 2 years old during Removal in 1838, so peoples 'my great grandmother hid in the mountains!' is so clearly wrong. And we have rolls. From before and after removal, rolls done by cherokee nation and others by the government, rolls that were not stored in one random flammable courthouse. It's not difficult to find the actual evidence of ancestry.

And just.. there are lots of ways those family stories get started. It was a practice during the confederacy to claim cherokee ancestry to show one's family had 'deep roots in the south' that they were there before the cherokee were removed. Many people pretended to be cherokee and applied for the Guion-Miller payout just to try to steal money meant for cherokees - 2/3rds of the applicants were denied for having 0 proof of actual cherokee ancestry. [We even see lawyers advertising signing up for the Miller roll just to try to get free money.] And the myth even started in some families in the cherokee land lotteries, where the land stolen from us was raffled off, including the house and everything that was left behind when the cherokees were removed. We have seen people whose families just take these things stolen from the cherokee family and adopt them into their own family story, saying that they were cherokee themselves.

If you had some family story about being cherokee and you wanna have proof one way or the other, check out this Facebook group run by expert cherokee genealogists that do research for free. Just please read the rules fully and respect the researchers. They run thousands of people's ancestries a year and their average is only around 0.7% of lines they run actually end up having true cherokee ancestry.

I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.

It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.

By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.

Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

Because I’ve seen some…questionable assumptions, it’s time for a lesson. So gather ‘round and let an ex Catholic educate you on church titles.

The one (most) people seem to get is the pope title. Popes take on a new name when they are appointed, and it’s numbered if someone had the name before. So I’m 90% sure people know Emeritus isn’t their last name. And before rising to the role of anti-pope, they would have had different names. At least I hope people understand that one. Like people weren’t calling him Terzo as a kid.

When speaking of or addressing a Cardinal with something that isn’t an honorific (Eminence or Lordship in Catholic terms), you either use their full name (Cardinal John Paul Smith) or just their LAST name (Cardinal Smith). Unless Tobias is throwing us a curveball on this one, which I highly doubt, Copia is his LAST name.

Imperitor means Commander. Sister Imperator is a twist on the Catholic Mother Superior. Mother Superior is the title given to the head of a religious community or institute. Which was Sister Imperator’s role without a doubt. Imperator was her title, not her name. Thus Frater Imperator is more or less the equivalent to Abbot. His name most definitely not Copia Imperator. His last name was Copia. Then his name was Emeritus IV. He could still use the name Emeritus or he could revert to Copia, based on the rare cases of a pope not dying in the Catholic tradition it’s his choice. But his TITLE is now Frater Imperator, just as his titles were Cardinal and Papa before.

Also, Papal names tend to be localized. So the former use of Zero instead of Nihil when he was first introduced still tracks as being the same name.

The whole ministry is a direct parody of mockery of the Catholic church. If you’re unsure about something just check out what the Catholics are doing then twist it.
