Native American stories from the OR coast are in some ways a mirror image of the selkie stories. There is one about “The Woman Who Married Seal”. A woman is canoeing near shore, looking for food. She sees a handsome man and stops to talk. He tells her his country is full of food, and she should come marry him. She…

Is she still claiming to have been born in a teepee? I seem to recall she had said that before. Because she wants to appropriate ALL the cultures!

I did kind of get it from ‘other groups’ once - and the situation was rather humorous to me at the time. I’m mixed race Native American and look ethnically ambiguous - I’ve been pegged as Italian, Latina, half-Asian (rarely Native, because unless we’re wearing regalia, we’re generally invisible).

Why D’s have been losing seats in Congress? Easy. Most states are small in population and very white. Paranoid white people convinced The Brownz are going to get something for nothing, at their expense. Also, the Powell memo, end of the Fairness doctrine, propaganda, gerrymandering.

Well gosh there might be something there about the Russia story http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/watch-adam-schiff-masterfully-connects-the-dots-between-trump-and-russia-and-its-damning/

Uh huh. The Russia connection is not real, huh? That’s why right now on NPR I am listening to Congressional hearings on the Russian influence on the US election, Mike Flynn, etc. FBI Chief Comey is talking about his agency’s investigation.

Yes. As is typical with Fox “News”, these so-called Security Moms are just shills, acting in a piece of propaganda theatre for Uncle Rupert’s network. It’s all BS.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. My indigenous ancestors have been living here for thousands of years. 20,000? 30.000? The # changes based on linguistics, genetics, archaeology. But a damn long time. We have a long proud PAGAN history here in the Americas. And these plague-ridden settlers show up with their…

I gotta say, fuck them, they don’t want our help. Indeed many of them would like to kill brown people like me. (And as a Native American, i remember the last time they thought it’d be super neat to wipe us all out). Iowa Rep. Steve “Racist Krazee Motherfucker” yesterday tweeted a straight up white nationalist BS…

Yes. Normally there is a transition time where the attorney who will be leaving can try to wrap some things up, and prepare ongoing cases to his/her successor, so there is a smooth hand-off (or, at least as much as that is possible). With Mr. Bharara and the other 45 attorneys, the hand-off is going to be difficult.…

Sadly there are many of these Christian teen ‘boot camps’ - not just for gay kids but any kids perceived to have a problem - including just questioning the family’s religion. I wish I cd recall the name of the documentary, but a young filmmaker went to one of these camps that was set up somewhere in the Caribbean (to…

I look forward to reading your book. Go for it! Tony Ortega and Leah Remini will have your back. :)

Damn if I know why, but there seems to be some influence over LAPD that Co$ has. I read Tony Ortega’s blog pretty regularly (I was never ‘in’, but I have a weird fascination with cults - I read crap about Quiverfull etc too, as apparently I am a glutton for punishment reading about destructive cults) and this has…

It is true in these days nearly all countries have strict rules in regards to visas, residency, citizenship, etc. However, the US has largely created its own problem here, and working on it since the 19th century at least.

I saw this earlier today at Friendly Atheist:

Nope! I’m not! So much for your attempts at insight - hahahaha! (Just to help you out a little, not-genius, I am also not white, not Latina/Chicana/Mexican/Hispanic, and not Asian).

There’s a stove and a fullsize fridge in the background so I doubt it is a dorm room.

Wow. That is seriously, creepily obsessive. Not a good sign. Any exes he has are going to need restraining orders, clearly.

Yeah, unlike Tibet, China, Japan, Egypt, Mayans, Aztecs and numerous other cultures:

We can tell you’re white, Princess. As well as racist, ignorant, and dumber than a box of rocks. Not unlike the Prez. Except the white part. He’s orange.
