Imagine waking up everyday to see the news of how many of your baby brothers and sisters were found. Their bodies under your very feet.
Now imagine nobody cared. And imagine every single day that number grew. Every. Single. Day.
How would that feel? This will continue long past orange shirt day. This pain won't end. It's just a pain a daily pain us as indigenous people have to carry in our hearts. So many times a week I have to stare at these numbers and all I feel is my little cousins hair in my hands as I hold them. And listening to them play and know so many children never got that. How scared they must have been. How so many of their bodies were destroyed and burned to hide what was done to them. To children. Actual babies as young as 2. Fucking babies.
And that any of my siblings could easily have been one. How quiet my dad gets at times and I can feel his sadness. How often girls still go missing and I'm so scared that someday I'll be one. And I'll just be gone and no one will care. How I could wake up someday and one of my sisters will be gone just another picture on the news no one will care about.
We live like this every single day but we're the savages???
Please. Support and educate yourselves on indigenous issues. Most can't understand this pain but they can at least listen.
Hey can I get like 60 bucks? My wife and I, and Our cats need food and we've been feeding them ppl food for a couple days until I get paid. We don't have nearly anything for ourselves and it's gonna be tricky to get my money into my bank account.
american whites were just caught on footage, chasing haitian migrants on horseback with whips in their hands. on horses. with whips.
and yet, black immigrants are still completely dismissed from all conversations about the violence against immigrants. for as long as i could remember, mestizo mexicans and central americans have been the face of immigration-related abuse… so much that people wrongly assume these are the sole victims of that violence.
haitian immigrants represent a disproportionate amount (44%!) of people currently detained in ICE quarters (as of 2020), and since haiti is overwhelmingly black, most - if not all - of those figures are black people. which means the attacks on haiti are automatically attacks on blackness.
it worries me a lot how haitian migrants are being treated and have been treated by not only the united states, but the rest of latin/caribbean/south america. there have been extended violences toward haiti from the entire americas for so long, it’s naive to say that it’s not related to how black the country is. to be black is to be unthought of, and unalive.
forced migration/extermination is genocide.
and it’s so telling that people won’t bother empathizing with the victims of forced migration unless they look a certain (non-black) way.
(if i find any haiti crowdfunds for haitian immigrants, i’ll add them)
I keep telling kids at work they can read manga and watch anime for free online and they’re like “but that’s illegal” and I’m like. Trying to find a way to tell them that it doesn’t matter without being a bad influence
can’t believe some of you tried to say undertale was cringe as if it did not raise the bar for rpg style games AND have a banging soundtrack AND multiple endings AND a good story AND unique mechanics
My boyfriend and I were both diagnosed with covid even though we’re both fully vaxed, so we are officially screwed. We are already behind on bills and short on food as is, and now we’re both going to be out of work for 2 weeks. If anybody can help with a dollar to help us with bills and to buy groceries and medicine to deal with our symptoms.. I’d really appreciate it. We are screwed. Please reblog. I’m desperate at this point :(
Imagine voicing the most iconic character in all of video games for like forty years and fucking Chris Pratt takes your role once you finally get a big budget movie
