“Aaniin, it’s Giiwedin here, Northwind.
One of my great friends was violently arrested this morning out of ceremony.
Their name is Alex Golden Wolf and they’re a two spirit leader from the White Earth Nation.
This photo is from this morning, July 23rd 2021. It breaks my heart to see the police violently arresting a ceremonial person.
This, I would say, is a violation of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act is happening at the Red Lake Treaty Camp here in northern Minnesota.
Follow their Instagram linked here @redlaketreatycamp as well as the link in my bio to keep updated.
And please, if you have the financial means, send funds to this water protectors Venmo @Alex-Golden-Wolf

That white circle you see on the right is the massive growth inside my spinal cord. I am currently losing feeling in my arms, and I am suffering with chronic pain every. single. day.
I desperately need surgery to get this growth removed. If I do not do so in time, then I will die.
But good news! I have a colleague in Vermont willing to operate on me to save my life. But I need help. I am begging you all to signal boost this because I am running out of time. Please, I beg of you, help in any way you can. Reblog this post, share it, and if you are able to, please donate.
France has always and I mean ALWAYS had a history of Islamophobia...but, for those of you who don’t know what’s going on right now:
They’re trying to ban the slaughter of Halal chicken, citing animal cruelty and claiming Halal (I believe they also discussed Kosher) methods of slaughter are unethical compared to the European practice of stunning the animal (the Halal way of slaughter would be a cut to the jugular vein so that the animal feels no pain).
They then proceeded to ban the wearing of the Hijab (the Muslim headscarf) for girls under 18 in public places.
They also banned Hijabi mothers (women who wear the Hijab) from accompanying their child on school field trips.
Furthermore, they banned the Burkini (a swimsuit that a lot of Muslim women wear) at public swimming pools.
These restrictions (I have definitely not covered a lot of them) fall under France’s Separatism Bill which still needs to be passed by the National Assembly. France maintains that these actions are to uphold secularism (the separation of religion and state).
However, these targeted laws and the statements accompanying them...
The Hijab ban was the “prohibition in the public space of any conspicuous religious sign by minors and of any dress or clothing which would signify an inferiorization of women over men.” This is a commonly used trope about Islam and Muslim men; that they are oppressive of women which is absolutely not true...take it from a Muslim woman! 🧕🏽
Emmanuel Macron said that Hijab is “not in accordance with French ideals”. This again alludes to the misconception that Hijab is oppressive and that by taking it away, we are liberating women. I don’t deny that there are women who had Hijab forced upon them, but what France is not acknowledging is that the forcing of any religious action upon people is completely the opposite of Islamic teachings and that there are actually women out there who can make decisions about what they want to wear...Surprise! It may come as a bit of a shock to them...
...just showcase how deeply rooted these laws are in Islamophobia and how France is maximizing restrictions on daily Muslim life just to...be a white saviour?
There are five million Muslims in France right now and they are all being affected by this.
As of right now I’m trying to find ways to counteract this. @feel-like-studying has linked a petition in the replies of this post. I’ll also link it here:
Y'know what, fuck this bullshit. I need to know y'all are actually against it.
I hope to make @staff see how that is total bullshit. Tumblr will die without writers/creators.
Sterling talking to his men about how everyone on security was sent pictures of the Leverage team and they can't get inside the museum, and discussing which country they will sell each of them off to after they caught them, all the while each Leverage team member is already right there next to them is just. peak comedy. no other show could do it like this

Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?
Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?
Consider this your save point.
Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.
