I know that news stories about Indigenous people leading ecological stewardship movements are very charismatic and heartwarming, and if your heritage or culture inspires you to work towards better care for the environment that is incredible and extremely admirable, but we're clear on the fact that Indigenous rights and Land Back movements shouldn't depend on First Nations people being mystical Noble Savage, Closer To Nature poster children, yes?

Indigenous self-determination applies to the person who becomes a teacher because she wants to help fill a need in underserved northern reservations. It applies to the person who studies engineering because the job market is good and he likes cool cars. It applies to the woman who works a government job because it's a stable job with a decent salary on which to raise her kids, and the woman who works a government job because she wants to represent and be a voice for her people. It applies to the person who is a lawyer trying to correct the over-incarceration of First Nations people, and her son who wants to be a professional baseball player because he loves sports. It applies to the grad student who wants to bring traditional knowledge into field work, and the goth hairdresser who spends every weekend going to punk shows and anime conventions in the city. It applies to the person who considers themself Two Spirit, and the person who uses non-binary instead because they dont feel that umbrella term fits them. None of these examples are hypotheticals- these are all people I personally know, either friends or family friends or even members of my family. All of these people are equally Indigenous, whether or not they fit your image of what a marginalized people's priorities "should" be. They are not gone, and they are not "stuck in the past". Happy National Indigenous People Day. Do better.

#Disclaimer that i am not indigenous to any degree as far as i know #and my social circle is both pretty small and majority white #but ive noticed a trend in the sort of articles that go around about indigenous people and it tend to be 'native people do nature good!'#People have the right to choose a 'traditional' or a 'community building' life or career path and they have a right not to #canadian politics #first nations #land back #decolonization #indigenous rights #I might turn off anon asks in my inbox if you think im wrong thats fine but say it with your name attached

I made a Choose Your Own Adventure type survival game on Google Forms, featuring some familiar characters from the LIS franchise🐺🦋

You're basically making some really intense choices in a high-stakes situation that will determine whether people will die or live at the end of your story. Your choices will also determine how much of the mystery you'll be able to uncover by the end. The story's pretty... convoluted, you can take that as a good or a bad thing LOL. But it does all make sense if you pay close attention👀

I honestly forgot how many ending I had to add to my project but I can confidently say that there's over 20+ endings, most being surprisingly unique from each other. The game is quite short in length - it only has 3 short chapters - but there's a lot of reading, choice-making and scrolling regardless.

Sorry in advance if some of the plot points don't make much sense or if there are any inconsistencies within the plot. Creating ridiculous amount of outcomes for this was such a hassle, my focus started to lapse occasionally. I'd be happy to hear some constructive feedback.

If some peeps wanna take a peek, be my guest and experience as many endings as you'd like! Though — fair warning — the story gets pretty brutal at times. Had to add trigger warnings just in case.

Enjoy!🙏

How do I make this about Sukugo

#jjk #jujutsu kaisen #ryomen sukuna #gojo satoru #sukugo #my post #I don't know if that's supposed to be Yorozu or Sukuna's mom or wtv but..#If that really is Yorozu to symbolise the path of love then We agree that Yorozu is just a stand in for gojo right? Right 🤝🏻#Yorozu is the face (and the voice) of the theme of love Sukuna remembers her words during his fight with Satoru multiple times #And when Sukuna gets his second chance Gojo will be there cuz he chose South #So the other path that Sukuna will take in his next life is with...#Gege I wasn't familiar with your game...#i'm very sane and not delusional btw #I wonder if ge.to will be there too though I can't see why he would choose South he hated being a curse swallower lmao

Does anyone else suffer from the disbelief that they are their age?

#I either feel 40 or 17. no in between #I can’t believe I’m in my twenties and some do my friends are getting masters #but more power to them!#or perhaps it is the relative freedom from not feeling bound to an arbitrary timeline and having the space to mentally breathe and explore #that I miss #but once you leave the structure of education (either after graduating from whatever is secondary school at your country/dropping out or #post grad education. things get weird #I’m realizing that some people (attempt to) follow these arbitrary timelines because they want to get married and (maybe) have kids #but….i don’t want that. which is quite freeing #I used to be of the ‘dating for marriage’ mindset but not now #idk it seems like a lot to look for someone who ticks all your romantic checkboxes and also ltr checkboxes #and kids are expensive so not having them is very financially freeing #and just…time freeing I guess #I think generally I’m not a very social person. and I don’t really start itching for socializing unless I’m literally isolated (like I was #literally yesterday)#and a lot of things I like to do I tend to do solo #like lifting. for me to get to my physique goals I’ll practically be in the gym almost everyday for ~2 hrs. and yeah I don’t *need* to be #that extra but I have that choice to decide whether to overtrain my body or crank out overtime or be in my routine executive dysfunction #spirals (ok that’s not really a choice but still)#and I need time to decide on which hobby to ditch and bounce from each time haha #basically I don’t think I’m ltr material. and that’s ok. im just out here enjoying my life #once you’re out of an educational structure (idk abt yall in academia) you can choose whether to follow a set path. and maybe that’s what #you want idk. but you should also examine whyyy you want the thing. do you want to get married to a man and have kids because YOU want that #or because everyone else is doing it? and you don’t want to stand out or feel like your failing in life. meanwhile you might not even like #men or hate prenthood.#imma end it here I have things scheduled (yay) and I need to shower #uchiha-gaeshi ramblings #uchiha-gaeshi overshares #life #txt

If you missed it, Tina said she wanted to do a 100 day birthday for Empanada which is a Korean tradition, and it’ll falls on the 29th of February because it’s a leap year! How cool!

#QSMP #Tina and her Pancake Baby #she said you pick a gift to choose a path for your life #Tina said her dad made her pick money for hers lol so real for that

the practice of taking multiple names... i do wish it was a bit more supported in places like the united states. i love my family name, my family means the world to me,

but there's also the last name of berri that i'd love to take. it was the second name that stuck with me after "mira", and i've nicknamed myself "miraberri" in a lot of things over the past year i've had it...

...i suppose the other trouble is that i've already changed my legal name once, and so now i'd have to pay for it to be changed again... ahh, the wonders of capitalism and rigid social systems.

wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a society that embraced Change?

that freely allowed, even encouraged changing oneself? embracing the fact that everything will change eventually, and must do so for things to not become stagnant?

that some things might not be right as they are, despite the state of things being comfortable for many people? that the status quo, or our time-honored traditions, aren't infallible, perfect concepts?

i guess the idea is too much for some people to understand.

maybe some day, that'll change, too.

#i've held that belief for as long as i can remember really holding beliefs about society...#it's really funny finding someone i can identify with so well- in both name and ideals- in media i wasn't expecting to #faith's the one thing i still haven't necessarily narrowed down fully in myself. like i know i'm not christian- but i'm not atheist either.#i've had an idea of what afterlife i hope for... but that doesn't really mean much if i never get to see it until the end- now does it?#i suppose if there's one thing i can believe in... it's the ability for things to change- for life to take its own path...#even if it feels like a frustrating endless cycle sometimes...#some day... something will change. it always will. and suddenly you won't feel so trapped anymore.#because if everything's a cycle... your sadness had a start to it- it'll have an end to it as well! it'll come back around!#and everyone... everyone has the power to change things for the better! for themselves- and for the world!#so... if i had to choose one god to believe in... i think it'd have to be a god of change.#so i guess... thanks in stars and time. for helping me reach a decision about faith.#if you read my little tag ramble... thank you as well.

Tag drop: Aventurine.

#[ aventurine. ] mr. cavalier gambler: uptight. overcautious. inferiority complex. you've won so much but you're still so afraid of losing.#[ aventurine: ic. ] they see only the straight flush. they don't know the other hand below the table clutching your chips for dear life.#[ aventurine: inquiries. ] time to make a move my friend. say goodbye before you shuffle off. it's… best to die without regrets.#[ aventurine: countenance. ] now go. and pick the clothes that you like. then choose your desired identity and use them well.#[ aventurine: introspection. ] “sleep is the rehearsal of death”? why does life slumber? because we are not ready for the final rest.#[ aventurine: meta. ] the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason. but you've never gone in any other direction.#[ aventurine: etc. ] the chance… no matter how small: the potential is what you hang onto. that is what justifies the gamble.#[ aventurine: ipc. ] … i'll give you that and much more than that. the ipc will give you whatever you want. even what you don't want.#[ aventurine: trio. ] three cornerstones who for a measly penacony... offered their everything. you're more united than the family.#[ aventurine: astral express. ] friends: the game has commenced and you cannot choose to decline… nor do you have grounds to.#[ aventurine: fate. ] if the dice of fate are always weighted then that is our destiny. why then... do we struggle against it?#[ aventurine: past. ] our paths will cross again beneath kakava's shimmering auroras. farewell: kakavasha.#[ aventurine: luck. ] he's only drunk on the moment that makes his very life quiver. hell is only one decision away from heaven.#[ aventurine: topaz. ] since i survived i realized: wherever you go that's where i'll follow; nobody's promised tomorrow. [ immobiliter. ]#[ aventurine: topaz. ] i never expected the beautiful and kind-hearted director topaz to resort to distorting concepts like that.#[ aventurine: jade. ] it's often used as a counterfeit for jade. but it looks like jade… can be substituted for aventurine too.#[ aventurine: veritas ratio. ] unfortunately for him; i make for a more competent conversationalist than the other dimwits around here.#[ aventurine: black swan. ] nothing remains hidden from you… does it? i will find my place in the web of your schemes; memokeeper.#[ aventurine: sunday. ] is this what the harmony represents? is it built upon constraint and coercion?#[ aventurine: acheron. ] only by casting aside reason does one truly gamble. “emanator” — I know you'll match my wager.#[ aventurine: v. youth. ] but the sun could not kill me and the quicksand sent me back to the embrace of the guild and the ipc.#[ aventurine: v. penacony. ] i seem that way because i am nervous. maybe you can help. what do you say; put our palms together a last time?#[ aventurine: v. future. ] the once falling die has at last landed on its earthly rest. quietly… peacefully: it at last landed.#tag drop #[ aventurine: robin. ] you see people. / i see you.

Tbh I don’t think I ever mentally recovered from the pandemic. I’m still. Idk. Floating thru life with no real routine. Shit sucks

#shut up miiiwu/#in 2019 I had no problem waking up going to classes (15hrs a week) going 2nbed and repeating.#once the world fucking shut down and my classes went offline I had to leave the dorms and move basic into my childhood home #and I was so depressed and angry I didn’t really give a shit about my online assignments #then 2020 2021 going back and having stuff hybrid online in person just fucked me up more #like. what was even the point in going #I spent 4 years only to come out of it changing to a 2 yr degree despite having almost enough credits for a bfa #bc I was on the brink of killing myself #and would rather die than spend another year in college #I couldn’t motivate myself to get out of bed to start physically attending class again #I kept failing classes and got put on academic probation #I would’ve been completely fine if the pandemic didn’t happen which is something vastly out of my control #and now I feel like I’ve been socially and emotionally stunted #im 25 but I still feel 20 #and I still wish I’d just gone to a Real art school tbh #I didn’t learn shit after spring 2020 #which is like a year in to my art classes. fucking infuriating #still pissed off I never got to take a life drawing class (like with nude models)#and I was only a few months into my perspective class when the pandemic hit #so I barely got to learn perspective which I still don’t fucking understand #bc the professor essentially gave up on actual lessons #UGH. like. im 25 now im barely a better artist than when I graduated high school for fucks sake #it feels like I made all the wrong life decisions #like a choose your own adventure book where I went with all the wrong paths and now im never going to get to work in the animation industry #or comics industry or whatever it was I even set out to do.#all I do is rot in bed.#I had a job I hated and im going to have to get another job I hate #that will barely pay bills and I’ll be living paycheck to paycheck forever while the country I live in becomes increasingly hitlerian.#anyways 😻#sui tw

It takes a lot of confidence, and self-love and self-worth to realize that you are capable. And that you have every right to leave your lane, and to do things in the same way that other people do.

the amount of work transmeds n sysmeds n terfs will put in to ensure theyre miserable and alone forever is crazy. i guess when the agony is optional perhaps it has more appeal i've definitely contemplated breaking bones just so the pain was different like I understand misery incredibly well just like. man. you could like change and you would probably feel a whole lot better and have more friends and feel more stable????

#why choose to be better when you can lie and hurt people #I sure know how to pick 'em i guess. really I am quite talented at finding bad people who pretend #wahh trauma makes me act this way. yeah trauma makes me act terrible too. you know what i do about that? FUCKING WORK ON IT #you're not an adult. you're making fun of children on the internet for exploring their identity in harmless ways #also the concept of the dsm-5 ruling my entire life is insane to me. how do you live like this.#when i start to see the spiders i just live and let live dude #when the memories get whisked off to another guy im not like writing it down and reporting it to the did authorities #okay well i do hate the mass bug attack but everyone would hate the mass bug attack.#anyway. utterly deranged behavior. grow up #oh yes i definitely trust the united states to tell me what makes me what I am and I see no problems with this #i will blindly follow the next person in front of me. i will join this angry mob without knowing why. i will be awful and mean for no reaso #and one day when it's me i'll be SO surprised that the leopards ate MY face #you're the bad guy here. i want you to know that. you are the red right wing voice here #you're not some brilliant rebel #you're insecure and all of your points tie back to that insecurity and you will never feel better if you continue this path #i'm going to fill my life with love and fun and forget all about you and i'm not even going to know it.#and you will languish in your lack of internal deconstruction of fascist ideas that make you miserable or something idk #again grow up #my finale message. good bye #phlyaros' nonsense

we're more alike than we are different. we don't need to be enemies.

#irt that terf i've been poking at #your decision to not transition despite being diagnosed with gid is valid!!#plenty of people choose to accept and live with dysphoria and identity as gnc and cis #that's all incredibly reasonable. your life and body are yours.#i only oppose to the idea that your way of handling it is the only valid and good one #hrt saved my life. the ppl in my life that recognize and accept me as a man save me every day.#my body and choices are mine.#we do not need to choose the same path but we don't have to be enemies.
