#4th of july #buy native #indigenous #july fourth #not sure if this post will pass the tumblr taste test of 'hmm too many external links' but let's give it a shot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #it's july fourth; give money to an indigenous person today #(and all other days; but especially today) #i'm circling back around to sweet grass trading co because some of the tea looked nice! also they have the internet-breaking ioway honey #and then i'm going to PARK myself on the ntvs site because I WAS NOT EXAGGERATING; THEIR STREETWEAR IS SUPER COOL #i can't say any of this without feeling like an extremely Old Millennial (though. UGH. millennials are Old now >:| ) but #these are hip clothes. they are wry and stylish and things i would genuinely casually wear #this was an ENDEAVOUR TO COMPLETE because i had to reformat each link (the originals were inconvenient facebook redirects) #and actually haul through the catalogs to figure out what they were carrying #because otherwise this is a pretty daunting list to look at!
