Sounds interesting
“In this enlightening book, scholars and activists Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and Dina Gilio-Whitaker tackle a wide range of myths about Native American culture and history that have misinformed generations. Tracing how these ideas evolved, and drawing from history, the authors disrupt long-held and enduring myths such as:
“Columbus Discovered America”
“Thanksgiving Proves the Indians Welcomed Pilgrims”
“Indians Were Savage and Warlike”
“Europeans Brought Civilization to Backward Indians”
“The United States Did Not Have a Policy of Genocide”
“Sports Mascots Honor Native Americans”
“Most Indians Are on Government Welfare”
“Indian Casinos Make Them All Rich”
“Indians Are Naturally Predisposed to Alcohol”
Each chapter deftly shows how these myths are rooted in the fears and prejudice of European settlers and in the larger political agendas of a settler state aimed at acquiring Indigenous land and tied to narratives of erasure and disappearance. Accessibly written and revelatory, “All the Real Indians Died Off” challenges readers to rethink what they have been taught about Native Americans and history.”

These all sound like good listens, even though I typically don't listen to podcasts.
Could you recommend a couple of your favorite scary story podcasts? I need something to keep me awake at my office job and a lot of scary story ones tend to get. Well. Ableist or racist or some other -ist that kinda spoils it all for me xD
Oh HONEY. I’ve got you on this one. 😊
The No Sleep Podcast - Probably the best damn horror story podcast I’ve found to date. Amazing two-hour episodes with full-production stories and original music every week. Hugely talented cast of voice actors and authors, and a community which embraces and celebrates diversity. (I recommend starting with C.M. Scandreth’s “A Seaside British Pub” and the full-length sequel “Return to a Seaside British Pub” from Season 10.) Season passes are available and they are WORTH EVERY PENNY.
And That’s Why We Drink - Ghost stories, true crime, and general wackiness from best buds Em and Christine, with occasional cameos from the adorable Gio. There’s a fair amount of rambling in each episode, but it really feels like sitting down with friends and listening to some wild-ass stories.
The Cryptid Keeper Podcast - If creepy creatures and mythical monsters are what butters your crumpet, have a sitdown with Alex and Addison for tales of their favorite scary (or friendly) bois. Jokes are rampant, but the hosts are very aware of cultural context and show a great deal of respect for it, as well as pointing out problematic elements when they appear.
Lore - History is a strange place. Author Aaron Mahnke dives headfirst into the pages of the past and kicks up all manner of monsters, murderers, hauntings, and mysteries. If you’re a history buff or a lover of folklore, you’ll find plenty to love. This is less scary than interesting, as far as I’m concerned, but the subject matter is often very creepy.
There are SO many others out there, and I’ve got half a dozen waiting in my Stitcher favorites that I haven’t had time to get into just yet, but these should be enough to get you started.
Enjoy!!!
😢He just needs a hug..
just watching him
Just read this quote: it may be one of my new favorites. I might even read the book it came from, just for this quote.
“The only darkness we should allow into our lives is the night, for even then, we have the moon.”

Still not over this. . .
J.K. Rowling apologizes for killing Dobby in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows [x]
I really want this book, I've got to have this book, I really need this book!...
So true.
Note: This isn’t an insult/sassy come back to people to asking valid questions/statements (well maybe a bit sassy lol), none of it’s meant to offend people that are calmly trying to educate themselves to lgbtq+. Questions are always welcome!
This is on my wish list of places I hope to visit one day but probably won't get to. Dreams are just Dreams though, until we are able to make them come true.

These are beautiful. If you've never watched critical role, it's never too late to start.
