same. I’m just over here trying to help

this exists already!!

Ex Machina

Why do we even need a photograph of her on the cover? Oh, Sylvia- even amidst fierce flames, the golden lotus can be planted.

My gynecologist is a male, he is a professional doctor. He has never been anything but professional toward me, and he makes me feel comfortable and well cared for and he is the most gentle gyno I have gone too thus far. Going to the gynecologist is NOT sexual in any way. Most of the time, it’s quick and slightly…

I’m so sorry all of that happened to you. Internet hugs from a stranger xox

PREACH!

As a fellow English major, I enjoyed your rant.

Kathy Acker is the shit.

Also, they very much have a reservation in Oklahoma- it is defined by treaty. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choctaw_Nation_of_Oklahoma

I am a card carrying member of my tribe.

I hope your day got better. I will listen to my Elders, I do plan on asking them about the documentary and I agree, as a Native person I see the collection of these artifacts by a very bifurcated lens. It is interesting and tumultuous to say the least. Nice to “meet” another Indigenous lady.

Well, you can be apart of my mixed reject tribe- I will accept you! :)

I think about my hair all the time, I have a mohawk right now, so there isn’t much to dye, but I kind of like the natural color (it’s streaked with blonde/light brown). It’s funny because I have 3 sisters (so 4 girls total). 2 of my sisters have dark eyes and dark hair, and myself and the other sister have lighter…

Yes, exactly- we are all mutts. I guess I just sometimes feel anxious when discussing heritage because of my hair, people are like “oh yeah so what your great great grandma was an indian or something?”

I like your perspective here, but here is my quandry-
