[sweetgrass-soul]

Hi Tumblr,

If you’re visiting this blog it’s either because you followed me before I deleted or you’ve been directed here by Ana Tiffany Devez’s (ghosttbirdd, chucanita, and archae-heart) harassment campaign against me.

I ran a blog called thoughtforbees from 2008-2017, and after that I ran the original archae-heart blog from January 2018 to January 2021. In this three year span of archae-heart I gained over 142,000 followers, and the experience of micro-celebrity (and then notoriety) threw my life into a tailspin.

In late December of 2020 I began receiving harassing and threatening texts, phone calls, and emails from fake numbers/accounts. Most of these messages referenced posts that I had made on Tumblr. I blocked and moved on until my employer, my alma maters, my husband’s employer, and my tribal council all alerted me to the fact that someone was repeatedly calling to A) attempt to confirm my affiliation with all of the above and B) disparage me based on Tumblr posts. The last straw came when an anonymous Tumblr blog doxxed my full name and the address to my home. This is when I deleted archae-heart, and assumed whoever was stalking me would be content with me leaving. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

I became aware of Ana’s existence in 2021 after I deleted my blog when my former mutuals (many of which know me in real life) started sending me new posts from “archae-heart”, which had now been taken over by Ana (though I did not know who was behind the cyberstalking at the time). These included accusations of being a TERF and lying about my race/ethnicity — and the “proof” provided were not from anything I had posted on archae-heart or thoughtsforbees, but screenshots from a website called Babycenter.

Now is the time I want to make it painstakingly clear that I have *never* had ANY account on Babycenter; not as myself and certainly not as any other persona. After being made aware that my photos were being posted there, I spent a significant amount of time delving into the site. It soon became clear that Ana Devez did, in fact, frequent Babycenter under numerous aliases — apparently involving herself in similar dramas where she has accused Black women of racefaking + has herself been accused of racefaking on numerous occasions — for many years. And then, through my research, it came to light that she also had a Tumblr. Ana interacted with my content when I was archae-heart and then when I came back to Tumblr as sweetgrass-soul in August 2021, Ana immediately found me, followed me, and constantly interacted with my content again. I knew who she was at this point, and remain confused as to why she would pretend to befriend me on her “real” account while at the same time continuing to admonish and defame me on archae-heart.

———————————————

I want to take the time to finally address some of the accusations levied by Ana against me.

1. I have lied about my race/ethnicity and pretended to be Black and/or Brown elsewhere online.

Ana is correct in her most recent post that I am bi-ethnic; white and Mexican. I am also Indigenous, and am enrolled with a federally recognized tribe. Anyone who followed me at archae-heart or thoughtsforbees for any amount of time knows that I have always been upfront about my (white-assumed) phenotype, that my mother is a white woman + my father a brown man, as well as my experiences reconciling my Chicana + Indigenous heritage with my white heritage. The photos used by Ana in an attempt to out me as a “racefaker” were pulled directly from my archae-heart blog, where I uploaded them — because I never attempted to to hide my phenotype. To re-upload them now while claiming she is doing so because I have represented myself as a brown woman — without any of the context of my original blog and relying on the ignorance of her mostly-teenage audience— is a disingenuous misconstruing at best and a purposefully constructed lie at worst.

I have never once claimed to be a POC/WOC (I don’t use these terms for anyone, much less myself) or a “brown” Native. And under no circumstances have I ever, EVER claimed to be Black - on Tumblr or any other website.

2. I am a TERF.

I am not, have never been, and never will be a TERF. This is just low-hanging fruit, because calling anyone a TERF on Tumblr is the easiest way to incite harassment towards them. Trans people will always be included in my feminism.

3. I am a queer baiter.

Again, this is a desperate reach made to incite as much anger against me as possible. I am a bisexual woman married to a man. I have written about my romantic and sexual experiences with both men and women. Since I am a human being and not a novel/film/show, I quite literally can’t be a “queerbaiter”. As a woman who was married to a man and has children with two different men, Ana should know better. The hypocrisy is astounding.

4. I have uploaded content that is not my own without properly sourcing.

This is an accusation I cannot and will not deny. There is no excuse for not crediting original artists, so I won’t attempt to make any. I am holding myself accountable on this, and am personally reaching out to apologize to photographers whose photos I uploaded to my blog. This is such a massive problem on Tumblr in general when it comes to aesthetic blogs, and I’m ashamed to have contributed.

5. I have been “mean” to our nannies.

I don’t know if this rumor was started or perpetuated by Ana, but it’s another odd one, and I feel compelled to address it. I’m not even sure how someone could possibly glean this from my blog/s, but uhhhh…I have never mistreated any employee, and certainly cherish the village who helps me raise my children.

————————————

I have been silent on this issue up to this point even through the harassment and vitriol at the advice of my counsel, as we were trying to find the identity of the person/s running the Babycenter account/s without formally involving attorneys. Our personal efforts have proved fruitless, so our only recourse from here will be an ISP subpoena. I want to make it clear that I am not accusing Ana of running these Babycenter accounts or posting my photos there; I only know that she is running my old Tumblr, archae-heart, where she has posted my photos — because she openly admits it.

I am asking people to think critically about the evidence they’re being fed. The majority of these accusations against me are backed by seemingly altered screenshots from a website (Babycenter) I have never been affiliated with, under screen-names I have never used on Tumblr or any other website. On only one of these accounts I’ve been accused of owning were photos of me ever posted - both of which were swiped from my archae-heart blog where they had previously been uploaded by myself. There were never any photos of me posted that weren’t publicly available online. As a marginally-public figure, it was not unusual to find that photos of myself or my children were being used elsewhere online. This is bound to happen with 140k+ worth of followers and countless lurkers, but I never imagined they would be used in such a nefarious way.

It’s incredibly stressful and embarrassing to think that someone hating my Tumblr blog would one day lead to a possible civil suit. I didn’t want to spend the money, or effort on something so silly; but time has only emboldened and made worse the cyberstalking, and what I once saw as high-school-mean-girl-bullying now feels sinister and even potentially dangerous. This amount of obsession is not normal, stable, or healthy.

I will never come back to Tumblr under any URL and I want to make it clear that I have no other social media accounts. Anyone using previous real URLs, any of the fake screennames, or posting my face and personal information online are impersonators.

Stay safe, and remember to protect yourselves online. You can’t be too careful on the internet.

But at this point, he was certain that either: 1) he had been blown off, or 2) the urgency had passed, perhaps permanently. Poor soul. He grasped the wanted poster in his hand and finally assumed it was better to ask around than to stand in place like the fool he had been made into. "Have you seen this man or heard word of him?" He asks a passerby in ragged clothes. "Oh! Yes, I know him. Johnny Portsman. He was taken onto the prison ships on the docks this morning. The lad who turned him in got a hundred pounds!" So Michael was jobless yet again. “Thank you for your time." He turns back to head to a spice merchant's shop- perhaps he could trade or sell some of the extra rosemary, thyme, sweetgrass, and cedar he had collected to take on the now-gone ship with him. He straps the large bag back onto his shoulders when seemingly out of nowhere, a golden dog runs past him. “What the bloody hell?" ☘️Want more?

The content you make has power.

Tumblr is not your home—it is a public space, where a lot of people come to share work. It is more like a park or a public square, an art gallery or a library. Act accordingly. People are watching. If that’s no good for you, there are other platforms (ie Discord) where you can make and share content in an environment where the audience is curated. 

White people, it is not the job of POC to comb through your content and tell you what you are doing wrong. I say this as a white person. I see a lot of posts saying Tumblr is the space you go to escape from the world, and I get that—it is that for me, too. The world is really ugly and frightening right now. But it is also that for BIPOC, and (speaking from the US) it was ugly and scary loooong before 2020. Again, this is a public space. And when the content that gets boosted in the tags is harmful, Tumblr can’t be that safe space for them. I am 99.9% certain you are not doing this on purpose or with bad intentions. But when you make content that exposes your subconscious biases (we all have them, and need to constantly be checking ourselves and unlearning them; I am just as guilty of this as anyone) and brings racism into fandom space, that fandom can no longer be the escape for BIPOC that you say it is. 

The content you make has power! Art has power! Isn’t that incredible? Isn’t that why we do it? To share our stories, to share a part of ourselves, to make connections with others and inspire each other and uplift each other. But that power works both ways. Your content can also harm people—not only by hurting the people whose lived experiences the Bioware writers have cherry-picked to create their ‘grey morality’ BS, but by perpetuating and reinforcing the harmful stereotypes and prejudices that exist in the real world. Yes, the characters are fictional. The people on the other side of the computer screen are not. 

Which is also to say, OF COURSE, the same person can be responsible for content that is wonderful and heartwarming, AND content that perpetuates harmful stereotypes. The former does not excuse the latter. 

I am of the opinion that everyone can learn from their mistakes, and that no one should be chased out of fandom for them. But I think we all bear a responsibility to commit to do better, and I don’t see a whole lot of that beyond people asking the BIPOC in the fandom to do the work for them. 

I get it. It’s not easy work. It’s hard, and it’s painful. I’ve done ignorant shit in the past that I am so ashamed of; I still have to catch myself all the time. But that’s the point: we have to be better at catching ourselves, not just to create better fandom content, but to be better people—because, again, it works both ways. Fandom does not exist in a vacuum. 

I see certain meta blogs on here regularly attacked and demonized but I cannot stress how much these users have made me a better person IRL with their criticisms. I am thankful all the time that they persevere through all the BS they receive. Their criticisms of Dragon Age (I game I still absolutely love) have affected me IRL. The content you make has power.

If those blogs aren’t going to work for you, that’s fine too. The best way I have found (personally) to educate myself is to make a deliberate effort to read more BIPOC authors. Listen to their stories. It’s not a magic fix-all, but it might help you calibrate that voice in your head that should chime in and say, ‘Is this content I should think twice about before putting out in the world?’

I’ve been thinking about this tweet a lot lately. I know the way we create fandom content can be serial in nature, so, y’know, you may be 80,000 into your story (or in my case, when I hit my hiatus, 230k lol) before you realize you’re steering that ship in a direction that maybe you shouldn’t go. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still course-correct.  If anyone is interested, here are some of the books I’ve read lately that I can recommend. I’d welcome any additions to this post with more recs.

Tao of Raven: An Alaska Native Memoir, by Ernestine Hayes Using the story of Raven and the Box of Daylight (and relating it to Sun Tzu's equally timeless Art of War) to deepen her narration and reflection, Hayes expresses an ongoing frustration and anger at the obstacles and prejudices still facing Alaska Natives in their own land, but also recounts her own story of attending and completing college in her fifties and becoming a professor and a writer.

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings--asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass--offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices.

The City We Became by N.K. Jeminsin Every great city has a soul. Some are ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as children. New York? She's got six.

Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia The Mayan god of death sends a young woman on a harrowing, life-changing journey in this dark, one-of-a-kind fairy tale inspired by Mexican folklore.

Season of Migration to the North by Tayeb Salih After years of study in Europe, the young narrator of Season of Migration to the Northreturns to his village along the Nile in the Sudan. 

Zuleikha by Guzel Yakhina Zuleikha, the 'pitiful hen', is living in the home of her brutal husband and despotic mother-in-law in a small Tatar village. When her husband is executed by communist soldiers for hiding grain, she is arrested and sent into exile in Siberia.

Depending on the ingredients the scent might fade somewhat as years pass, but I have some that is close to 2 decades old that are still delightful. -Mike Sexton

False Claims to Irish Maternal Grandparents

As sweetgrass-soul and knotted-oak on Tumblr she repeatedly claimed that both her maternal grandmother and maternal grandfather were Irish, they are both from Texas.

sweetgrass-soul on Tumblr

This is a verified alias because under this account she confirms her father is a firefighter, as is corroborated by her thoughtsforbees tumblr account and her thoughtsforbirds on Reddit alias.

Under this alias she continues the persona of an Indigenous Archaeologist turned homesteader and stay at home mother from Galveston who is married to a wealthy British man and living on a farm in Maine.

This corroborates her growing up in Galveston as stated under various aliases:

She also uses “flowers in the ruins,” her blog name when she was archae-heart, as a caption under this account:

She also posts the same baby names as she did under various other aliases:

Thoughtsforbirds

As Miranda has denied being behind this alias, please note that this Reddit account is over a decade old, and that it features identifying information that corresponds to claims she has made on under other aliases, to include her name, the same baby names she used later under other aliases, the same same career and husband she claims to have under various other aliases.

Under this Reddit account, she has posted her name; she has also used the same “Indigenous archaeologist married to a wealthy English man and living in Maine” persona as she did under other usernames including archae-heart. She also confirms her parents’ careers, which have been corroborated by her posts as thoughtsforbees on Tumblr and by her mother’s LinkedIn profile.

She makes reference under this alias and as sweetgrass-soul on Tumblr to meeting boyfriends on Tumblr:

Along with confirming having worked as a nanny which is also corroborated by her mother’s Twitter posts, she also uses the same baby names as she would later use under various other usernames, including archae-heart and sweetgrass-soul on Tumblr, MirandaElizabeth on NameBerry, and VelvetBones and ThistleBones on BabyCenter (she also confirms she has a Tumblr and lived in Austin as corroborated by her thoughtsforbees account on Blogger):

Miranda as BlackPhillip on Babycenter, featuring more examples of her digital brown face and inconsistencies in her claims to indigenous ancestry:

Please note the signature on Black Phillip's account which includes the same names she claims are her kids, and note that she's describing the same zoom class she promoted on Tumblr while she was archae-heart.

So, now that we've established this as one of her aliases, let's have a look at how she describes herself in her comments.

Here, she explicitly calls herself brown:

And, as we've seen her do before, she likes to use the dark brown emoji; here she explicitly claims to be Mexica:

She also described herself as having naturally black hair:

She claims her mother is an indigenous Mexica/Nahua woman from the Texas borderlands, and her father is Mescalero Apache:

vs now that she's been called out for brownfacing and she's trying to explain herself w/o acknowledging what she did:

She now claims on Tumblr her mother and maternal grandparents are Irish:

It would even appear that she doctored and/or stole someone's DNA test:

It's also notable that she recently started claiming to be Diné, as well, as can be seen in her Reddit comments:
