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.
#and ive heard even dumber origins of the cherokee family myth#such as an ancestor having a silly sounding name so the descendents just go 'oh she mustve been an indian!!!'#i was one of the few people who had my ancestry done on the facebook and had genuine cherokee ancestry#[though i had found it before it was just really validating to get it double checked and i started finding cousins (:]#like. i was told once when i was a kid by my grandma that my dad had cherokee ancestry and i didnt believe her. its wild that so many peopl#will make it a Fixture of their identity [or even just smth they bring up ever] with Zero proof#at least for cherokees from what ive seen its usually considered really disrespectful to claim to have cherokee ancestry without#actually having the documentation [like ancestors on the rolls]#and no a dna test doesnt count. nor does 'my dad is Clearly not white!' or 'high cheekbones' or old family photos or anything#i had this discussion with someone recently whose dad had been calling himself 3/4 native but didnt know exactly what nation ???? hello?#and its like... sorry but ur dad is like. italian lol.#[and blood quantum is bullshit anyway im tired of the 'im 1/16 cherokee' comments its dumb#cherokee nation does not have a blood quantum requirement. its pointless bringing it up in the discussion of who is or isnt cherokee]#also mandatory disclaimer that im reconnecting. i didnt grow up connected to the culture of even knowing my ancestry#this is all from my looking into this stuff over the past year or so. i cant claim to be an authority over anything regarding this#this is p much all my repeating things ive heard said by people who know a lot more than i do haha#man. and this isnt even starting to get into the fake tribe stuff. the only legit cherokee groups are the 3 federally recognized bands#cherokee nation of oklahoma. united keetoowah band. and the eastern band of cherokee indians.#any others that are state recognized or not at all arent acknowledged as legitimate by any of the legit cherokee groups#anyway. my final message goodb.ye#cherokee#tsalagi

This 4th of July I’m stealing the patriotism euphoria that’s usually associated with assholes idolizing the worst attributes of this country because fuck ‘em I live here too and remembering the things this country actually got Right is an important exercise when trying to rally anyone to want to defend it in November SO putting my money where my mouth is I’ll start easy and say I really like National Parks!! It’s rad how many of them there are and how they’re actual set up to preserve some of the most beautiful wild areas in our country while still letting people visit to enjoy and experience nature!! (Less important but I love how they put national parks on the quarters I think that’s real fun)
Feel free to add on if something speaks to ya!
#The hypothesis I’m testing here is that remembering there are good things now and then can combat apathy a little bit#and this is the one day of the year where everyone has a free pass to say nice things about the US so!#some other fun freebies:#public libraries are really cool!! Love visiting them and I should do that way more#bit of a funnier one but I think our interstate highways are really nice#like I’d love trains too but it’s really cool how you can travel the whole country relatively easily like it’s all pretty connected#I love how women have equal rights! We’re backsliding a little right now which is why it’s so important to latch onto this now!#I love how we don’t have a draft- this one might point to some other issues in the country#but at least from a surface level it’s great that military service isn’t mandatory#If you aren’t in the US and still want to play go for it!#today I’m encouraging everyone to pick at least one little positive thing they like#and then down the line if you’re wondering why voting matters at all#maybe remember that little thing y’know#Do it for the national parks and the libraries and gay marriage and stuff#humming-rambles#anyways that’s my social experiment for the day hope y’all get to see some fun fireworks later!

I don't know if you've gotten an ask similar to this but in a lot of the older Spider-Man comics Peter has blue eyes, he even has blue eyes in a few animated series!
Nobody ever seems to use this fact when they write Spidey in Gotham with Dick being his dad
I haven't! And if I had to guess why, I'd say a lot of us (me included) don't have the funds or access to the older comics, unfortunately :((
But i am SO putting that to use, so thank you! <33
Cmon imagine, like, Bruce seeing Peter for the first time. Everything about him is different from his usual black haired brood. He's pale, has light brown hair, he's (seemingly) untrained and clumsy, but he has the biggest and bluest eyes. Eyes that remind him of his eldest son and the matching smile to light up a room.
And if Bruce knows anything? Nothing in this family is ever a coincidence.
#bat paranoia and one of the many times its right#obviously mandatory anger at said Paranoia#“what happened to ”“dont test civilian DNA without probable cause”“ huh??”#could easily be tim finding ojt too#mr smarty pants#i just like bruce realizing it bc thats deadass his son with a different color pallet#spiderman in gotham#peter parker in gotham#peter parker#dick grayson#bruce wayne#batman#spiderman#batfam#dc

wild to me that it takes hours for people in the usa to vote. it's never taken me more than 10 minutes and that's including the inevitable chit chat with the people there because they're either my parents' neighbours or the parents of people i went to school with.
#literally have your voting card and some kind of id ready#if you don't have your voting car then you just have to look up what desk you're supposed to go to usually it's split alphabetically so#for albonium it would be desk 1#get there give id (either my id my passport my social security card my driving license or a hunting permit (💀))))))))#pick up the little papers and an envelop#get in the booth#put the little paper in the envelop#that's if you haven't done it at home already#get out#put it in the box#the person there says “ HAS VOTED”#you sign next to your name#take your id#and fuck off#before your cousin's neighbours' grandma asks how your aunt is doing and if you've heard about the bakery being closed because the baker's#wife cheated on him and now he's got to take care of the kids and aetstdfhgfsgjgthj#you get what i mean#10 minutes tops#even in big cities#also it's always by paper like this if you want you can vote for someone else but you have to file papers at the police station#people empty the boxes and count them all together#if you want you're allowed to stay and watch as they count#or you can ask beforehand to participate in the counting#kids are automatically signed up on the voting lists when they turn 18 if they've done their mandatory 'defense and citizenship" day#ok this one is kind of propaganda-y for the army the cops etc but at the same time it allows to test the entire population to see if they'r#illeterate (there's grammar spelling etc tests)#do some driving rules lessons#cpr training#reminder about blood donations etc#which imo is important

Adam Rippon's audiobook's on spotify - it's as funny as you'd expect and also gives a clear sense of how huge the sacrifices are for both the skater and family, and the kind of drive and single minded discipline it takes to reach an elite level. i still don't quite get how his mom (and dad) supported his career and 5 other siblings. and his describing how the ice rink was the first place he felt accepted and his whole path to the Olympics and being the first out male athlete on Team USA at a winter games is touching. it's a good listen
#he also talks about mandatory drug testing#and how you're chained to a monthly schedule#so that they can surprise test you with an hour's notice which we kinda heard about bc of daniel grassl and kamila and carolina#but the agent has to watch you give the sample#and you have to be uncovered from chest to knees so there's no chance of cheating#so every skater you ever saw in higher level competition had to go through this#i can't find what level this begins at

went ahead and set up a lil membership thing on my kofi! it basically functions like a patreon would :3 I thought I'd try it out as I currently don't make enough money to be independent. anything is appreciated, but totally not necessary! just tossing it out there for if you enjoy my art and would like to see some behind the scenes :D
you can sign up here, I'll be uploading stuff some there this week as I set it up further (posting on there will be random, but probably 10+ posts a month as much as I draw)!
(please note that if you'd like to be entered into the raffles and get the free monthly doodle you need to sign up before the 23rd of each month and message me on ko-fi with what character you'd like before then, too. i you sign up between the 24-end of the month, I'll put your requests in the next month's batch.)
(also, I'd like to reiterate: this will be solely for extras and early stuff! I won't paywall the TM2 comic itself, that will still update on Thursdays! and there will be other stuff on there too, like fanart, other fandom OCs, etc! ^_^)
#not art#ko-fi#artist on kofi#kofi#?? unsure of how to tag this#again totally NOT mandatory ive just been wanting to test something like this for a bit :')

Switching back to calisthenics. Weightlifting was fun for a second but I'd rather be able to move my own bodyweight well rather than get big.

Genuine question because I'm curious, but did you have mandatory "textile work" classes in elementary school where they taught you how to use a sewing machine and how to crochet?
#I'm starting to think “sewing machine licence tests” are a nordic thing#because I was taught how to make a t-shirt at age 8#and I know it's a mandatory subject in Finnish schools#at least for one year

when people complain about getting like, a 98% grade on something because it was "so close to perfect" its like. i understand what you're saying on a technical level. but that is a line of thought so far away from my experiences and ways of thinking that i do feel like im from another planet. 100% isnt even a real number to me
#i kinda understand when its something like a multiple choice test or something where there is an objective answer#it might feel like u got so close but just missed one#again still a bit alien to me because my scholarly performance is mysterious and anything over 70 is great to me#but i mean ive had a 98 before once in a math test. i did get exactly 1 bit of 1 question wrong#but i didnt really care that it was one off from perfect i was too busy being happy because that was the highest mark id ever received#and the previous math test i had taken got a 53% . grade 11 was a wild time for me in math class GHJKSHFKds#anyway i kinda see where ur coming from with stuff with right or wrong answers like that#but i sometimes get friends in class complain that they got a 95 or something on an art assignment#because they think they got docked 5 points for one or two little things#but i dunno. thats not really how fine arts departments in university tend to grade things#you dont start at 100 and get docked marks for things you got wrong. i dont think ive ever seen a 100% on something like that#tbh the numbers are a little arbitrary i find. i do prefer to try to get em higher because that helps with grants and stuff#but the numbers dont mean all that much in fine arts or in art history (my two majors) a 75 and a 95 can function the same depending on lik#weighting and context and feedback and whatever. i dunno its a wild world out there#it might just be the perspective of someone who did really goodbad in school. (GoodBad (tm) its when ur good but also kinda bad at school!)#compared to someone who got a lot of perfects in mandatory schooling. i sympathise i really do that kind of pressure sounds insane#but while i sympathize i cant really empathize as much unfortunately with this specifically orz its a world very far outside my purview!#100%s arent real to me so they never cross my mind to be worried about LOL

NEET study tips please 🙏 mistakes to avoid, resources to follow, etc, etc
Huh all i can say is read the ncerts only after you completely understand the chapters from your teacher or something. then you will be able learn ncert the correct way and actually understand it
Make sure to take the test once or twice a week, it will help alot with time management and question practice
always read physics theory. ofc numericals are important do them everyday but also learn the theory it will help you alot
In the end, many people forget organic chemisty's reactions; we must not let that happen. Review reactions daily never neglect them, even if you’re good at chemistry.
make your own biology notes. write them as much as you can and ofc practice the questions daily. Try every type of question; it doesn’t matter if someone says that a certain type won’t appear. Just practice them all. (This happened to me last time my teacher said one type of question would never come, but it did!
Don’t memorize anything extra, absolutely nothing, unless it's a PYQ
make your own annotations in ncerts, it will help you memorize.
stick to one book and a teacher
you can use fingertips for question practice, arihant publication's any book
if possible read hc verma atleast once for physics
#also just be consistent#give as many test as you can#but atleast 2 test a week is kinda mandatory#PRACTICE PYQ#if you have anyother problem just ask me#hope it helped

I'm sorting vaccinations out for going to the US and I think Americans would genuinely have heart attacks if they found out British people (Idk if any other Europeans do this or anyone in general) have 'Chicken Pox Parties'.
Basically, if someone's child has Chicken Pox, they'll encourage their other kids (If they have others) to spend more time with their ill sibling. The 'Party' bit is more for the actual gatherings just for Chicken Pox. The parents will invite any of their friends who also have kids, or other parents they get along with from their kid's school, with the intention to make all of them end up with Chicken Pox. We have a massive 'herd immunity' mindset for Chicken Pox.
My sister had it the full three times. I used to sleep in my sister's bed as a kid because I didn't like sleeping in my own room, and I still did this when she had Chicken Pox. I had it once (Maybe twice but I can't remember), I have a scar on my arm from one of the spots. It was gross but we were never scared of it, it was just normal for us, it was like any other cold.
#I'm not gonna say it's not that bad because I don't know US history#And also I know there are still kids that die from it and that's not something I want to make light of#But I just think it's crazy how different the views of it are between us#And that I'm gonna have to pay money for a blood test to prove I'm immune#Because it's not something we're vaccinated against here like it's not mandatory/legally required to do for kids#Parents just do it themselves when the kid of someone they know has it#And then we just spend a few days/a weel or two in bed with it#My sister had it THREE times tho I swear she had it so many times 💀#She is always sick tho so I'm not surprised. But she does work in a nursery now so that's one reason why#But I swear her immune system is shit 💀
