The guy who filmed Eric Garner’s death is being indicted, but not the cop who killed him…
Enough.

From the Providence protest in solidarity with Ferguson on Tuesday 11/25.
This is what the Providence Journal called “zero physical contact” when reporting about how the police cleared protesters from the highway.
This is what police brutality looks like.

sorry you're getting all this hate .. people just want to act like no one can be ndn if they don't agree with them. but i have a question about some things. i saw where someone had said that you used to identify as cayuga. do you still? i ask bc i think i'm iroquois, but my family is not sure which tribe. i thik we're either cayuga or possibly oneida. if you want me to, i can come off anon but i would prefer not to. :)

I do not know my mother’s side of the family and have heard very little about them, but she tells me she is Cayuga since I can remember. Sometimes I identify as Cayuga along with Cherokee and Choctaw but because I literally know nothing about the Cayuga and their culture, other than what I read online, I feel like I shouldn’t identify as Cayuga. So I do go back and forth. Ignore my moms identity or awkwardly, invasive claim her identity. I grew up with my grandma, so I identify easily with her a lot more. When I first got tumblr five years ago I had Cayuga listed, I think it was last year that I took it off.
No need to come off anon. Do whatever makes you comfortable.
i rly don't want to annoy you or ask for too much and i rly like your blog but. i have rly bad dyslexia and it is very difficult for me to read any of your text posts bc both the background and the writing are quite dark.... i think if you could make the writing a few shades lighter or the background a few shades darker you would make your blog much more accessible for ppl with dyslexia/eye problems in general? the top links (home, sub...) are ok, but the text posts are rly hard for me to read.

I will change it. I am sorry to have inconvenienced you. If it’s still a problem after the change please let me know.
hi!! my grandmother is Pakastani and my grandfather is Tsalagi on my father's side, but my mom is white. I'm almost entirely white passing except for high cheekbones, light olive skin, my grandmother's nose, and dark eyes. I've always considered myself native and pakistani, but recently this white guy told me I couldn't claim either of them. I feel bad about my passing privilege and sometimes I wish I looked more like the cultures my poc family gave me. I feel like I don't fit. what can I do?

Love yourself, accept yourself, and don’t base your identity or worth off of what others say.
For the record: I've never doubted you. I doubt the others because it seems to me too coincidental how disagreeing with some of them once on something completely unrelated automatically makes one fake.

Thank you for not doubting me. It is important to view evidences rather than only relying on hear say; and not build bloggers up as the end-all be-all.
I’m not on tumblr to convince people that I am who I say I am. I am here to learn, to help when I can, and to stay informed. If you don’t trust me block me. Life is too short to play all these popularity games.
I keep seeing posts about you on my dash that aren't from you talking about how you are a "fake native" and i have no idea what to feel about this anymore.

Do what’s best for you. If you are feeling uneasy it’s better to write someone off. If you believe someone is fake block them, don’t let them into your space, and don’t give them a second thought. You don’t have time to guess which blogger to believe.
Hey I hope you and your child are alright, I wish you's all the best! Please don't give up!

Thank you, I am not giving up. We are still here but I am doing what I can to move out.
