This shit happened to me when I needed money to fix my car.
My fucking head is going to explode.
“Native American” names?
Why don’t you just label the entire month of November as “promote racial stereotypes and underlying mysticism” month and stop pretending any of this shit is grounded in the idea of realistic education or fact.
My fucking Native American name is Chamberly. My son’s Native American name is Jaiden. Don’t come at me with the spirit animal bullshit while your curriculum completely ignores the real time suffering of an entire population of people.
Let me tell my native friends Kevin, Jeremy, Courtney, savannah, Ryan, Ron, and Mikey that their names are wrong apparently
I still remember this fuckshit vividly over 20 years later, but when I was in primary school we had to do something like this and the teacher wanted to give us all “Indian names” and write them down on these stupid little headbands with construction paper feathers and I had written my Blackfeet name on the headband, misunderstanding the project cause I’m a fucking child. And my teacher comes around and gets mad at me for “ruining” my headband and I didn’t understand the problem and she says I’m supposed to write down my Indian name
And I said I did
And she says “that’s not an Indian name” which I can only assume now she said as much because it wasn’t English and I argued with her, saying that yeah it totally was because my nana had given it me and why was she even mad that I already had a name?
And the teacher told me “You’re not Indian”
And I said “Yes, I’m Blackfeet” and this fool ass woman laughs at me and says that’s a “made up” name and that I’m not Indian because, and I quote “You don’t look Indian and most of them are dead or on reservations. You’re not dead or on a reservation, are you?”
I was a smart kid, right? I could read by age three and I started school two years early so I was two years younger than everyone in my class and I was fucking five when she said this to me and I still remember it like it was three days ago.
I went into hysterics. I was crying so hard that she sent me to the principal’s office because I was scared all my NDN family was going to die now and I was sad that I’m not NDN unless I’m on a reservation. Like? This grown ass White woman had me locked in an identity crisis before I was even allowed to stay up past 19h30 on a weekday
Like, this shit is not fucking cute. Don’t fucking do this racist bullshit. When we have names in our own language, we don’t just fucking pick them out of a hat at random. There is history and Medicine in people’s names and these things are parts of our identity—not to mention not every Native person has a name specific to their Nation’s culture
It’s almost 2015, why the fuck is this still happening?
About a week ago I posted this.
I’ve been getting horrible messages like this in my ask for months, including:
and my personal favorite
After getting the message saying “Just go kill yourself” I was completely done dealing with this person’s horrible messages and replied with just an “Okay.” and logged off tumblr.
About a week later I logged back on with 17 messages in my ask, most of them from the anon. I scrolled down and at first when I logged off, the anon messaged me things like
I scrolled up more and all of a sudden they started sending me more and more messages like
This was extremely surprising to me. I thought “After all those horrible messages you sent to me for MONTHS about hating me and wanting me dead, you say ‘sorry’ and that you ‘cant be responsible for someone’s suicide’?”
But I guess the lesson goes like this:
DONT TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR WHAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN
DON’T TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES EVER.
THIS POST IS SO IMPORTANT I WANT EVERYONE
ON TUMBLRIN THE WORLD TO SEE IT
Muscle difference between pre-t and 1 year on T
I had to reblog this, because seriously, look at the dude’s face. Look at his face.
After one year.
Posts like this push me to get into a better mental and financial state so I can get on T.
This. Is. Awesome
I never realised how much of a change the face alone can go through :O
Also, stealing this for reference >.>
I’ve watched anime for so long I’ve forgotten getting stabbed actually does a lot of damage
Or that getting the shit beat out of you will make it fairly difficult to stand up then rant about friendship.
Or that paper cuts don’t cause fountains of blood.
A good friend knows when to hold you back.
A best friend knows when to let go and let you rip into a bitch.
I like Stitch’s selfie in the middle of the pictures
lilo is the most badass disney character
Can I just say, that bitch deserved it. I mean, insulting lilo is one thing, but bringing up her parents? That is unforgivable. I mean, wow. That is cold and deserves a smacking.
my life just got 800% better
wow, what a greedy shit, only giving the friends one piece each and keeping half the pizza for themselves.

why is there an american flag just chillin on the wall there is that normal
Yes they are in every classroom in America
Is that sarcasm
no.
do…do other countries not put their flags in all their classrooms??
Why would we put up a flag in a classroom? Are people afraid the children would forget which country they are in?
My favorite thing about the multicultural nature of Tumblr is watching people from other countries learn that America is much, much worse than they ever dreamed.
We also had to pledge our allegiance to the flag every single day. In texas, you had to pledge allegiance to not only america but to texas as well.
If this shit happened like italy or germany, someone would call the fucking UN.Wait the flag thing isn’t normal?
Also I live in Texas. We have two flags and we had to say two different kinds of pledges in the morning.
Well, I don’t know if it’s normal for other states to bledge to their state as well or if texas just does it because texas was once it’s own country (Which is why it’s the only state flag that is allowed to fly at the same height as the american flag)
