So I Found This Caterpillar On My Way To Class

Happy sixth anniversary stylish yet illegal IKEA monkey

Hey, so, I'm sorry to keep doing this but imma lay it out: I'm broke until the 28th. I need to fix my car again, I need gas and groceries, and I would love for things to stop breaking, but that isn't gonna happen. Basically, if you're able and willing, I'm going to be needing over $300, and I've only got $30. The good news is I was already able to get cat food, so all else fails, Merrill's fed.

If you can help, I'd appreciate it. This is my ko-fi, but only donate if you're able and above legal age. If you've already donated, know that I love you. Thanks for your help, guys, I really mean it

I am respectfully asking goyim to stop saying “well what about this innocent explanation?” when they ask me to explain an antisemitic dogwhistle.

Yes, that person COULD have been born in 1988.

Yes, that person COULD be saying that it was specifically corrupt “religious people” who crucified Jesus.

Yes, that person COULD be honestly confused about how dual citizenship works.

Yes, that person COULD think that (((these brackets))) are just another silly internet joke.

You aren’t the first to bring it up, and you won’t be the last. But “I can’t hear anything” doesn’t mean the dogwhistle isn’t making any sound. It just means you’re not a dog.

Reminding you that with a single click you can:

provide a homeless veteran with a meal

provide a free mammogram 

give food and care to a shelter animal

feed poor and hungry children

fund alzheimer’s research 

fund diabetes research 

provide books for children

protect wildlife habitat

It’s completely free.

anyway I've got no food now because the fridge broke and it's hot as fuck and I didn't realize it was broken until it was too late, and now my Uber money ($25, which is all I had) for my vaccine appointment on Saturday is gonna be gone, and I'm not getting any more until June, so if you're able and could take pity on me to get food for this month, here's my Kofi, I love you and sorry

On w*ndigoag:

W*ndigoag/w*ndigo are sacred Algonquian spirits that have spread to other Anishinaabe cultures. They aren’t worshiped or whatever, they are feared.

They’re the physical embodiments of evil, the result of a person falling into the trap of greed and cruelty, usually in the form of cannibalism. Our fear not only stems from the spirits and the danger they pose to others, but also their implications and the constant reminder that anyone can become a monster if they allow themselves to.

They are not bipedal deer and I have no idea where that concept came from. Most traditional depictions show them as humanoid giants made of ice, usually with the body of the person they came from encased inside.

In some stories, they’re killed by people, usually via fire. In others, they can only be killed by luring them to a body of water and getting the attention of a water spirit to fight it.

There’s very, very few stories where the person can be saved. The transformation into a w*ndigo is not a reversible one, and the only real way to save someone from that existence is to free them with death.

We censor their names because, traditionally, we’re taught not to say them out loud in case we get the attention of one or summon one. This is especially important during winter or at night.

They are not benign spirits. They are not kind. They are not rational. They are evil and cruel, and their only desires center around killing and eating. They’re as rational and logical as a wild raccoon in the late stages of rabies.

You cannot work with them. They can’t be bound, and they definitely can’t be bought or sold. Do not trust any spirit who claims to be a w*ndigo and do not trust any spirit worker who tries to sell you one.

W*ndigoag are Algonquian and Anishinaabe spirits. Algonquian people are the authorities on them, other Anishinaabe people less so. Non-Anishinaabe Natives cannot say that appropriation of w*ndigoag is okay because that isn’t their culture and it’s definitely not their decision to make. You cannot give someone permission to use something that isn’t yours.

The use of w*ndigoag in non-Native media is appropriation. The only exception to this is in when the creators work with Algonquian people to make respectful and accurate depictions. You’ll be very hard pressed to find cases of this.

W*ndigoag are not cryptids because they are sacred spirits. Abrahamic angels are not cryptids. Japanese yokai are not cryptids. Vodou loa are not cryptids. Respect indigenous beliefs as legitimate spirituality instead of reducing our cultures down to bastardized stories.

If you aren’t Anishinaabe, you cannot be “wendigokin”. Appropriation of indigenous spirituality isn’t suddenly okay because your ~soul~ is an indigenous spirit. You are not entitled to our cultures or spiritual beliefs. Jfc.

“Wendigocore” is also bullshit, what the fuck is wrong with you all? Our sacred spirituality is not your ugly ass aesthetic.

(Left those uncensored because it’s a summer afternoon and I want people in those tags to see this. Fuck off.)

Anishinaabe people are not obligated to share our SACRED STORIES with outsiders in order for them to be respected. We don’t want you to make your depictions of w*ndigoag in your stories more accurate. We just want you to leave our cultures alone for once.

Now please stop sending me messages about w*ndigoag. I understand you all just want to learn but I am so fucking tired. I’ve answered these questions dozens of times and I need a break.

Don’t start discourse on this post. I am not in the mood for it.

If any Algonquian or other Anishinaabe people have corrections, hmu.

Post detailing my abuse/living situation/and plans to move,

Laying things straight here, This is gonna be my new pinned post but also just explaining that I am constantly in an unstable situation UNTIL I move. I am a black trans individual who is autistic, and I am waiting on 3 people to leave my home.

It’s quite literally an uphill battle and just all my current money has to go to several different things and quite frankly the month of march left me flat broke. I am low on food money, currently 35 dollars right at this moment. :’) I am not sure how much I’ll have WHEN someone donates, so the amount is obviously changing

It takes about 100 to feed me at least for a couple of weeks. (Considering that I cut my meals down to 1 time a day or 1 time every 2-3 days so I have enough.) I am doing my best to keep a few dollars in my pocket so I have enough to eat, or if an emergency comes up.

I’ll be deleting most of my others posts (on this blog and my other blog) when I can. This is unfortunately an ongoing problem, that won’t stop anytime soon.

Thank you for all the help you’ve given me so far. So if you can and want too please continue supporting me. :’0
