I really really wish there was a conversation in native spaces about at large and disconnected members and how many times (not always, but MANY times, particularly for Cherokee Nation) they have privileges that many members do not and how just being disconnected does not eliminate that and that there is probably a connection there even with that.
like. I don't think it's that difficult to connect the dots of gaining White privilege by repeatedly marrying into white families and abandoning your culture. you have the right as a descendant to connect to your tribe if that tribe allows for it, but you cannot pretend to be completely disenfranchised just by the fact of being a disconnected and at large member when a good chunk of the time this happens because these families are chasing white privilege. you have to acknowledge what your family has tried to do and how that is affected you today and how you should go about things moving forward.
that doesn't mean you The descendant are chasing white privilege but we have people within our own culture groups that get huffy and pissy because they do not live within territory. we get questions from White disconnected people asking if they can have an elder / first language speaker flown out to their home to live with them and talk Cherokee with their children full time. we get white disconnected members getting pissy because only certain information is allowed in in person circles and we're not going to transmit over the Internet so it can be stolen like everything else.
I understand being light and disconnected and at large as a native American tribal member can be difficult, but it seems like these difficulties are treated as if they completely eclipse all the privileges y'all have

government people will be like "yeah it was cool before but now in our state we're gonna make it illegal to uncover female breast. or biological male breast that have been altered to look female. it's not against breastfeeding though we still want lots of babies" and TERFs will be like "yay feminism!" and the trans allies will be like "hooray you affirmed trans women's genders by no longer allowing them to continue to be shirtless post transition just like cis women even though they already elected to cover up because it's gender affirming and it's culturally taboo not to! trans rights have all been won except for how dare they include trans women in an anti-woman law boooooo!" and trans guys will be like "what about how they just redefined us as legally female so they're definitely talking about us, and then specifically in response to us uncovering our chests after top surgery, they made this law? and they only included cis women to misgender us further and they only included trans women to uphold the sexist and misogynistic idea that breast that have developed beyond a certain point (like ours were/are), or that don't exist on a body that belongs to a cis male (like us too), are inherently sexual? what about how we're the only significant demographic challenging cis men's monopoly over shirtlessness?" and everyone will be like "shhhhhhhhhhhh it's just a potential implication! clearly the only targets are female (cis or trans), they said so when they called you a female! you're definitely just collateral damage. it's definitely for sure totally not the other way around at all!"
if you can recognize when "male" is a dog whistle, you can figure out when "female" is too. it's the easiest one to figure out, especially when they're side by side.
EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP SCIENTISTS AT THE SCHMIDT OCEAN INSTITUTE HAVE FOOTAGE OF A LIVE COLOSSAL SQUID FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gang, I know it's so easy to dunk on RFK Jr's latest claims about autism by pointing to all the autistic people who are capable of the things he said we will never do, but I think the more important thing is to state unequivocally that autistic people who have 24/7 support needs in adulthood and genuinely never do those things have value and deserve to exist. Yes, autism is a spectrum that RFK Jr is oversimplifying to suit his narrative, but his narrative is that our autistic friends who struggle with those things shouldn't be like that, and that is the idea we need to push back on, more than whether you personally can write a poem or use a toilet unassisted
hi hello i bring you happy bois!!! nothing bad ever happens ever!!
