You have to understand that I love every doctor equally but in different ways. 9 and 12 are my favorites, 10 has the most fascinating arc, and 11 and 13 crawl inside my ribs and pry themselves into my lungs and refuse to let me look away from their big bright lonely eyes and horrific coping mechanisms (though that last one might apply to every Doctor). Can't wait to see where 15 fits in on that scale!

WAIT HOLD UP A MINUTE THE CAT KING KISSED MONTY HOW DID I MISS THAT I AM RAPIDLY INCORPORATING THAT INTO MY FIC PLANS

Update: this has somehow become a very important subplot in developing both of their characters both internally and how they interact with not just each other, but others. I'm like fourteen "chapters" into planning/writing my greater AU and they're not even romantically interested in each other yet (their relationships with Edwin have been the main focus, but I am DOWN to explore things further down the line) and somehow this ONE MOMENT has become a lynchpin of their character development. I'm blaming @theongp for being the person who pointed the kiss out.

I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)

Some tribal owned grocers that ship:

Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)

Native Harvest (White Earth)

Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)

Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)

Ramona Farms (Gila River)

Tanka Bars (Oglala)

Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)

Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)

Ute Bison (Ute)

Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)

She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)

Sakari Botanicals (Inupiaq)

Honor the Earth (? Anishinaabe)

Nett Lake Wild Rice (Boise Forte Anishinaabe)

Passamaquoddy maple (Passamaquoddy)

BONUS: coffee :)

Yeego Coffee (Navajo)

Spirit Mountain Roasting (Yuma Quechan)

Birchbark Coffee (Anishinaabe)

Thunder Island Coffee (Shinnecock)

Small correction:

Honor the Earth is an organization founded by Winona Duke of the White Earth Nation (Anishinaabe/Ojibwe) with Amy Ray and Emily Saliers (LGBTQ musical duo Indigo Girls and long-time political activists.) You can buy Honor The Earth merch online to support the environmental work they do, specifically to help protest Enbridge Oil’s Line 3 Pipeline routed through tribal lands that endangers wild rice beds which are both a staple crop and sacred to Anishinaabeg.

However, Winona also heads up a hemp farm called Winona’s Hemp & Heritage Farm located on and run primarily by members of the White Earth Nation. It seeks to general local wealth for the tribe by encouraging the production of hemp as a fast-growing renewable and regenerative crop resource to be used for everything from non-plastic textiles/clothing, housing construction and insulation, food products, and CBD products! (They also grow other crops there such as heirloom varieties of corn, beans, squash, Jerusalem artichokes, potatoes, and ceremonial tobacco in an effort to help re-establish and increase tribal food sovereignty!)

They have both a brick-and-mortar shop called The Hemp Market Store and Coffee Shop in Osage MN where they sell their products and others by Indigenous-owned & -run companies! (They also sell those seasonal tribal heirloom crops there including Lakota squash and Ojibwe purple potatoes.)

But you can also buy many of their products online including hemp-fiber clothing, hemp tea, and hemp pasta. They also partnered with an experienced tribal herbalist to formulate CBD medicinal products like balms and oils (haven’t used it myself, but I the CBD balm for my mom for Christmas a few years back and she said it helped her chronic hip pain a lot.)

compiling some additional info from other reblogs + fixing some broken links

it looks like some shops’ products are seasonal and arent avaliable at this time of year (november 2023), but it may be at a different season

Mobility assistance

If you are not physically disabled, I want to ask you to do one tiny thing. Download this app. And every time you are about to go out with your friends, check the location you're going to go to.

Then drop a note in the group chat or on the Evite or whatever letting people know what the situation is. Lifting that bit of work off of your disabled friends is going to be hugely welcome, especially if you're the one to ask for changes. "Hey that restaurant looks tasty, but it's going to be a hassle if anybody needs to use wheels or a cane ( or has a stroller or anything else that your friend group might need), can we get takeout instead? Or go to this other cool place up the block?"

If you want to do a big thing, anytime you go somewhere that is poorly rated, let them know on a comment card or with a quick email that you're disappointed in their lack of accessibility. And vice versa, if you go somewhere that's well rated, send them a note to say thank you.

top five most important things you can give a character. 1. bisexuality. 2. autism. 3. so much negative rizz it loops around into irresistibility. 4. so many bad events. 5. a coping mechanism that’s cute and silly provided you don’t think about it too hard

"I cant draw" then do it bad who gives a fuck.....

Partake in the joy of creation just for the fun of it. Just for a laff.

Me @everyone in the notes
