To be “that girl” you just have to be you. Do what you like and be your own aesthetic. That’s when you look at a girl and think yeah, she’s HER. You can’t be YOU trying to be like them.

My mom has been experiencing a lot of complications from her surgery and is still recovering almost 9 months later. Please consider buying her digital recipe book to support her while she continues recovery. Thank you so much ❤️

TW: death, residential schools

104 potential graves have been found at the Brandon Indian Residential School in Manitoba.

“…The families and communities whose children were lost while attending these schools have questions that deserve answers. The children buried at these sites must have their identities restored, and their stories told. They will never be forgotten, every child matters,” said Sioux Valley Chief Jennifer Bone in a video statement.

“While employing archeological survey techniques, geophysical technologies, survival recounts and archival documents, our investigation has identified 104 potential graves in all three cemeteries, and that only 78 are accountable through cemetery and burial records,” she said.

Are you fucking kidding me @staff get these disgraceful predatory ads off of my dash! The site claims to be giving partial proceeds to the Orange Shirt Society, BUT THIS IS A LIE. I emailed the Orange Shirt Society and within an hour got a reply that they haven't been in contact with the clothing company Alsiee and these designs are FUCKING STOLEN FROM THEM!

Not only are they exploiting a dark time for all NA Indig people, they're lying about giving a portion of the sales to the charity they stole the designs from! AND TUMBLR IS GIVING THEM A PLATFORM! It took me one goddamn email and less than an hour to verify that these are RACIST FUCKING ADS.

I can't even fucking report this ad to tumblr @neechees @allthecanadianpolitics @indigenousfantasy @doesthendnlive please tag more people, god I'm fucking livid.

rent shouldn't exist as a concept but also all rent should be rent-to-own

like if i must pay to inhabit a space then at the very fucking least i should be paying toward ownership of the space i inhabit. paying some leech more than half my wages for housing that i have no stake in other than my immediate survival and from which i'll eventually walk away from or just die in with nothing to show for but the sunk cost of my livelihood is unconscionable
