(Small warning for swearing and genocide mentions)
Today in my history class I learned that some reservations JUST got electricity. >:/
How I love being American.
Seriously though, it shouldn't have taken that long.
This is just another reminder of the effects of colonization (AKA mass genocide).
"America is the land of the free!"
Land of the free my ass.
If it's truly the "land of the free", how come the Indigenous Americans are still being discriminated against? Not just Indigenous Americans, but also Muslims, LGBTQIA2S+, Neurodivergents, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and many more. Hell some people are even being full on ATTACKED for siding with Palestine. Not to mention the book bans happening. AND ALSO PEOPLE GET HARASSED FOR HOBBIES (Example: Furries) AND SPIRITUAL BELIEFS (Example: Therians)!
Last time I checked, we had rights to identity and freedom, so why is that being taken away from us?
Which brings me to this point:
We are not free until all of us are free.
Thank you for reading my Rian Rant, hope y'all have a great rest of your day/night. <3

Just finished watching Wakanda Forever.
This beautiful story is filled with so much hurt and pain. A perfect encapsulation of the hurt and pain that the natives as felt, hispanic and latin people. Of the hurt and pain the Black people have felt, African Americans and those of mixed Afro ethnicity. Of the hurt and pain that Asian people have felt, Asian Americans and the natives of the Hawaiian islands. The hurt and pain that Jewish people have felt. The hurt and pain that we continue to feel today... In the "land of the free"
And in our pain we have clawed our way out. We have fought kicking and screaming to have our basic human rights. Rights that still to this day are ignored in favor of the system of white supremacy.
And in our pain, in our fight we have kicked down others who are equally oppressed. Allowing the colonizer to pit us against each other. When we should be our strongest allies.
And today, while there is still a struggle, we move more and more towards a future where we 100% have each-others backs. We share each other's stories, sign each others petitions, walk together in protest.
But that doesn't mean that with every step of the way the system won't fight back. Abortion rights, the pipe lines and oil drills. Schools banning books on the Lgbtqia+ community, Black and native history. Police brutality. Anti-Semitism. Hate crimes against APPI. Police raiding peaceful protests and arresting water protestors, POC, trans individuals. All for using their human right to speak their voice against destruction of their land, against violence and abuse again their communities.
We have a long way to go but its not FUCKING OVER!!

I am just appalled. Who actually let's this happen. It is not okay. F*cking Christ. I am so sorry anyone has to go through this and has to live with this kind of hate. I am a part of the LGBTQ+ community and I am so upset with myself that I've never spoken up about the problems we all face. I went to a good, inclusive school, my parent support me, so because I, myself never faced any backlash or hate to my face I just ignored it. I am so sorry I haven't spoke up until now.
After finally learning about Dave Chappelle and his recent appearance at John Mulaney's show I feel physically sick. The jokes were just not okay in the slightest. I'm pissed and upset and I hate this so much.
I am so so sorry people still have to go through this and I just don't understand how people are so against other to the point of physically and verbally asauting them. Just how do people think like that? I am so sorry to everyone that I've never spoken up when I should have, that I'm not properly supporting my communities and I swear that I'm going to start trying.
I am a female.
I am bisexual.
I support Black Lives.
I support Asian Lives.
I support trans rights.
I support those with reproductive systems their right to an abortion.
I support Indigenous People and their fight to take back what's theirs.
I support women's rights.
I support everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community.
I support those fighting to bring attention to our failing ecosystems.
I support the disabled community.
And I will no longer ignore the backlash those people and communities face.

Racist motherfuckers can’t be reasoned with because to be anti-racist you have to be open to learning that you are the problem. The only way to help someone stop being racist is to get them to understand, not that they are being harmful, but that they’re too weak and stupid to be right in their beliefs and that their feelings are indicators of that. In order to do that isn’t to tear them down with verbal violence of aggression but to show it to them so gently they think they found it on their own.

Reminder to everyone ( especially young people in minority groups ) that you are allowed to be angry at injustices towards you and your community. Please don’t ever let someone say that your struggles aren’t worth being mad about just because they’re privileged enough to look away from those problems. Be angry. Be upset. Defend yourself and your community.
