Frequently I encounter non Native folks who tell me they think reservations are some form of reparatoins to Natives from the US government. I even had someone close to me tell me they thought reservations were places to “reserve” our cultures.

Where I’m from (South Dakota) reservations were concentration camps where they sent us to die after they stole and colonized all of the land every US citizen occupies.

In the early SD Rez days our ppl had to get permission from district agents (white settler men) to get food, fix our homes, or even leave our community to travel to another community on our Rez to visit relatives. We couldn’t hunt cuz they killed millions of our buffalo.

If we didn’t get permission from the white settler agent we couldn’t eat, fix our homes or visit relatives because we would be violating US law & could be arrested. Also our cultures & ceremonies were illegal under US law until the Indian Religious Freedom Act in 1978.

So plz educate the ppl you love and care abt because everyone in the USA is living in an illegal settler colony, Indigenous ppl survived their genocide & we’re her to say these settlers never gave af abt us & never will.

when i was first coming out, i flip flopped between identifying as pan and bi a lot. i kept getting different “definitions” and would swap, or i’d be convinced by someone to swap again because they told me their perspective. i finally settled on bisexuality as a label because it was the most comfortable to me, as well as the easiest for people to understand when i started coming out publicly.

i love all genders. i love people regardless of gender. but i still identify as bi because these things are NOT exclusive to pansexuality. i have no issue with people who choose to use pansexual as their label, but i DO have a problem with people coming up to me, on my posts or in my messages, to tell me what is and is not a part of my sexuality.

they are interchangeable, for some. just like the distinction or preference for one label or another matters for others. but to take a post where i take a line of dialogue along the lines of “i love everyone / all genders “ and tell me i’m wrong when i interpret that as bisexuality is disgusting and biphobic. yes, it could be pan. no, it is not “more likely” to be pan. both are valid interpretations of similar sexualities. it’s the same as lesbians choosing to use the label of gay – inherently, they are the same, people understand it either way. but to some, it’s important to use lesbian. it is not your right to tell them otherwise.

so stop being biphobes because yall are really sounding like the whole “droptheb” bullshit mess right now.

I had to share this neat little pin kickstarter! Since we’re dice-hoarders here, these are perfect–enamel pins of cute sleepy dragons curled around their hoard of dice. I had to back for the rainbow one, but there’s also a more traditional red available if you prefer.
