Native American spirituality isn't your jumping off point for New Age. It's not your resource for New Age talking points. Our myths are not your's to mine for "proof" for your conspiracies or to change for your "prophecies". Our spirituality has nothing to do with "vibrations", negative of otherwise.

Stop trying to swallow Native American spirituality. Stop using it to justify your surface level spirituality.

Most of all, stop acting like New Age is the natural successor to Native Spirituality- we're the natural successors, because we're still here.

Larger Roman Romano-Celtic Style Relief of the Three Mother Goddesses found in Ashcroft, Cirencester, Corinium Museum, Cirencester

Note the more stern facial expressions and upright positions on the Romano-Celtic version. This is made from oolitic limestone and probably adorned a local temple to the Mother Goddesses.

Wei Wuxian wants to be a milf (rip it'll never happen) but he's just a wine aunt, and Xie Lian is either the stepdad who tries too hard or doesn't try hard enough.

i agree that wei wuxian is a wine aunt as stated in my milf post but, with respect to your interpretation bc it works well, to me xie lian is a camp counselor and not a step dad. he sincerely cares about those children but they are not his problem in 3-8 weeks and will never cross his mind after that.

Ya know, I’ve got a question/idea…

Since the media’s portrayal of w*ndigo is a skeletal, bipedal, deer like creature… but that is apparently not at all what they look like… why not just give the deer thing it’s own name?

Especially since the deer thing’s “problem” is cannibalism, while a Wendi’s is, iirc, like… greed/gluttony?

Like come on… I know it’s a much more… interesting? Name than like “Bigfoot” “mothman” or “squonk” (or however you spell the name of that pitiful crying creature) but like… here’s our chance! Give it a decent, ORIGINAL, cryptid name. Bc from what I’ve heard, at least from some indigenous folk’s version of it (as I presume there’s the potential for variation?) the only thing the emaciated deer and their creature have in common is a name. A name that, again, from what some say, shouldn’t even be said? (Although few have said that also isn’t the true name of the creature but the equivalent of like… ‘boogeyman’ or ‘baba yaga’ but again I can’t exactly verify that nor do I feel like coming across it’s true name, if that isn’t it, is something I’d like to do)

Like… idfk pull out the Latin on this thing, devourer of flesh? Google translate (take me out back and shoot me if you must but I am monolingual and doing my best) “Edax Carnium.” Or even “of the flesh” (this deer thing comes from the devouring of human meat, leading to a hunger for human meat, eat to become… idk) is just “Carnis” 🤷‍♂️

Idk, I’m just spitballin ideas for if any of my info was right- that at this point all the two truly share is really the name, and if it would be okay TO rename the deer creature to separate it from indigenous culture’s being.

Someone mircoagressed me last week by saying that islam doesn't let women get educated "based on what he's seen." unlike judaism and modern chirstianity, where education is led by women.

Maybe if you stop doing silly little things like decimating every single university in a muslim state that had high rates of female literacy and education ❤️

This guy is an athiest traumatized by church, but somehow it all translated to a hatred of islam over anything.

These people really don't see what huge white supremacists they are. The new norm for white people is to let go of all religion. You aren't unique or special for choosing that. It's your current norm.

And they get so mad when you refuse to drop your personal beliefs and bend to their current mainstream ideology as well. What does that sound liKKKe?

for anyone who would worry: no, that wasn't a wendigo. it's my re-interpretation of Undergrowth. We'll be seeing more of it later in the story and come to understand what it's deal is. It's going to be different from the show -but will hold onto the core truth of the character.

what is happening in gaza is a crime and must be opposed by the global community. the israeli government’s role in subjugating palestinians and opposing their justified national aspirations—aspirations shared by the jewish people—is undeniable. bibi is a war criminal, and likud cannot be allowed to continue to drive israel into dark and deeper dark.

october 7th was a day of inhumane brutality, and to deny or undercut the scale of the horror is antisemitic in the extreme. hamas is a terrorist organization that cannot be trusted to build a lasting peace for the region or for their people. hamas refuses to hold elections, has committed war crimes, and has never dealt with the peace process in good faith.

these are all truths we can and must hold in conversation with one another if we are to build a world that ensures the safety, dignity, and humanity of israelis and palestinians. denying history does nothing to ensure a liberated palestine or a homeland for the jewish people. i believe in self-determination for all peoples in their native lands. i refuse to allow my commitment to the jewish and palestinian causes to live in conflict with one another, and i’m sick of so many americans who have no understanding of the conflict or the history of the region and its people refusing to allow room for nuance, discussion, and grief for the victims—all of them.

idk what the answer is but tbh the use of "turtle island" by so many white people who aren't indigenous always just... idk. it's not a myth that's common to all or even most indigenous tribes and it's presented as this Universal Thing. but it certainly wasn't what my people called their land. or most people. and it's like. I really don't know what the answer here is. but it always rings a little hollow :/

I would never convert to Christianity but if I did I'd probably be a Quaker
