fyi non-natives wearing moccasins isnt cultural appropriation but if you want moccasins you should definitely be buying them from natives. otherwise youre creating profit for the white people who were/are trying to exterminate us.
I was told this by a Native American guy I went to school with so now I do that. I’d rather put money back where it belongs. This resonates deeply with me as a black woman who tries to support Black and Non White individuals. – K
!!! Please this thing, don’t buy crappy moccasin rip off shoes from chains, please make sure you buy authentic ones made by us!! Also stop wearing them in the fucking rain and ruining them goddamnit
also the ones made by first nations are always way better anyway????? there’s this woman named Sunshine Tenasco-Brazeau in eastern canada that makes them for babies and they’ve been known to sell like crazy because they’re amazing.You can get them here and she employs tons of other first nations women and it’s a great little native-owned company.
Reblogging this for the links in the last comment. It’s really cool to raise awareness, but it’s even cooler with something like this to provide links to places where you can actually buy the goods in question!
Beyond Buckskin has a whole list of native online retailers, so you can get your fix and feel good about where you’re sending your money!
From Hitler’s virulent hatred of modern art, presumably in contrast to his mediocre still lifes, to the modern “anti-SJW’s” hatred of dyed hair and insistence that Being Conservative Is Punk Now, one thing remains consistent among all reactionaries:
They are deeply aware that everyone even remotely cool or interesting thinks they’re losers, and they are mad about it.
me, anytime there’s fog: Whoa am i about to be haunted by physical manifestations of my inner turmoil, flaws as a human being and past wrongdoings and also pyramid head who is there solely for the sake of marketing?
You know just how long 2018 has been? You know how long?
Did you even remember there was an Olympic games this year? Because I didn’t. I thought oh, last year. No. There was a winter Olympics in Korea and I forgot about it.
You know how long this year has been? The tide pod thing happened in January of this year
The non-IPRE balance gang just forgets how much time the crew spent together sometimes. They spent 100 years fighting together and being roomates, so that tends to lead to very close friendships.
They all know exactly what they like and what they hate. Carey once asked Magnus what Lucretia would like for her birthday and Magnus just made an extremely specific and detailed list of about 20 different items in a heartbeat and another 30 items that he said she would despise. Magnus may have said that he feels like he and Lup never hung out enough but that’s a downright lie. Lup and Magnus are so in sync that Angus asked Magnus what he though Lup would want to do on the weekend and he had decided on the perfect activity immediately (volcano hiking).
All of the IPRE crew also played a lot of table-top games, so they are elite chess players, especially Merle. Angus once made the mistake of challenging Barry to a chess game. He lost horribly. (Barry purposely dragged out the game for an hour and didn’t lose a single piece) If you want to even try to play Yooker against Davenport you better be prepared to cry your eyes out because this man has no mercy when it comes to bets (unless your name is Merle Highchurch).
There’s also so much harmony between them. Merle and Davenport are actually very coordinated in what they do. They can dance together with their eyes closed and still manage to not only avoid any awkward collisions or mistakes, but they look amazing as they do it. Taako and Lucretia are perfection when they do karaoke together. Killian put them together to help them make up, but when the two of them are competitive as fuck, Taako immediately forgets any qualms he has about Lucretia for the duration of the song and they absolutely destroy Team Sweet Flips at their performance of “Livin’ on a Prayer”.
You can imagine the crew’s surprise when they find that Taako “I-didn’t-let-anyone-but-Lup-hold-me-until-Cycle-52″ Taaco was lying in Kravitz “I’ve-been-dating-Taako-for-2-months-and-I’m-always-ice-cold” Adventurezone’s lap in the middle of winter.
