This map should be included in every history book.

Oh wow! I’ve been wanting this for ages!

This needs to be in every history book along with a map showing where those nations have been pushed to now.

(I’m gonna be slightly annoying and show off many pretty maps that are not what was asked for before I get to the map that is what was asked for.)

native-land.ca

“One of the most distinctive things about the Native Land maps are the borders….Indigenous identities don’t map (pardon the pun) precisely onto modern European notions of nationality and territory…. Colonialism lives and dies by the map — and the carved-up world is so central to our perspective that many of us today see the earth’s lands primarily as chunks of nations….

The reality is just that borders don’t always function the same as the simplified maps imply when it comes to indigenous history; there is a lot more movement, overlap, and complexity than one nation on each chunk of land.”

The Aboriginal Mapping Network at nativemaps.org is a great site for finding resources (and a whole map community)! They got:

-Global ones like LandMark, an “online, interactive global platform to provide maps and other critical information on lands that are collectively held and used by Indigenous Peoples and local communities.”

-Living Atlases created by nations and alliances like voicesontheland.org, created the Okanagan Nation

-More maps like these ludicrously pretty ones of Hupačasath lands, traditional sites, and place names. There are many, many more, and you’ll probably be able to find your region/people/language. Or just wander around!

-Links to Treaty Maps, this interactive map from the Canadian government, and historic maps like this series, which I like because it covers the early 20th century, which is often taught in classrooms as “After Indians.” Here are more maps of current populations and reservation lands in the United States.

Are none of these quite what you asked for? Yeah—I’m making a bit of a dig, but it’s not against anyone asking.

It’s against the fact that the map in the original post is from the 1970s. The linguistic theory has evolved since then; this is the map currently used in textbooks and even on Wikipedia. And I’m not talking about the level of detail, I mean there have been genuine changes in how scholars think the languages are related, and that has changed our picture of pre-Columbian historical events. It is very bonkers that the first map, which has been around long enough to look super dated to me, has never been taught this whole time.

This is the map you were asking for.

Land cessions animated by @sunisup from maps by Sam B. Hilliard of Louisiana State University, first published 1972.

I’m never criticizing anyone for starting with basic facts. We all should! I’m criticizing every history teacher you’ve had (and school board who limited the teacher, and college that didn’t prepare the teacher, and…) who didn’t do their job of tellin’ you the facts in elementary school, when you deserved to learn.

Facts about Native history aren’t Secret Wisdom. We don’t need a special reason to learn some facts. Native scholarship and Native scholars are thriving, so let’s explore their work, and question why information that exists has been deliberately overlooked so often.

if anyone would like to learn a couple tricks for carving pumpkins:

- dont cut out the top to scoop out the seeds, cut out the bottom instead. this way the pumpkin doesnt cave in on itself and lasts longer
- sprinkle some cinnamon inside at the top after carving. this way when you put the candle in it smells like pumpkin pie

this is the quality content I wanna see on my dash

- rub the i sides with lemon after you’re done scooping. This will also help preserve the pumpkin

It’s fucking June, at least wait until the fourth of July, you animal.

I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of me disemboweling this pumpkin.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Turn Your Sound On !!!!

@she-who-treads-on-water

If I understand correctly, these are ceramic bowls floating in a pool of water, possibly in a cave because it’s echo-y, and the clinking sound is them bumping into one another. Like wind chimes, but … water chimes?

yo, i saw this in person over the summer! it’s an art installation!

the piece is called clinamen v.2, created by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot and included as a part of the Soundtracks exhibit in the moma - i saw it in san fran, and this photo is from a showing in new york:

the exhibit is a large shallow pool filled with white ceramic bowls in varying sizes. the bowls are pushed around the pool by a gentle current, and the sound created as they hit each other is somewhere between a wind chime and a haunted bell.

i sat there for a solid ten minutes just watching the bowls move around while listening to the sounds they made. it was absolutely hypnotic…

Soundtracks runs in the san fran moma until january 1st 2018, and i absolutely recommend going if you can. many of the exhibits play with sound in 3D spaces, and there are some truly wild contraptions on display.

My dad’s a criminologist, but when I was little, I didn’t know how to pronounce that word properly, so I told my kindergarten teacher, among other people, that he’s a criminal instead. Yesterday, I was talking to a dude I met at the dog park (our dogs play with each other a lot), and idk how we even got to that, but he told me a story how when he was like 8, he walked his family dog alone and someone in the park asked him where his dad was, to which he replied, “In jail,” and that person got extremely flustered and changed the topic. Turns out, his dad works in prison, but the person misunderstood and thought he was jailed instead. Kids, man.

My dad works as a pharmaceutical manager, but as a kid I could never remember that. So at school once I told my school counselor that he sold drugs. And then to make matters worse, I realized what I said, so I tried to clarifying it by saying either “legal drugs” or “not illegal drugs” but I accidentally smashed them together and said “illegal drugs”.

My mom works as a probation officer but has to go into courts/prisons often. One day in pre-k my teacher asked where my mom was and i said “in court”. The next day she asked if my mom was home and i said “no she’s in jail”.

takaraphoenix:

I’M STARTING TO GET REALLY INTENSELY PISSED.
They canned so many LGBT+ shows this year and I am just incredibly tired.
The series finale of Sense8 just aired, because they had canned that show.
The Originals is going to wrap up its show-run in less than a month too.
Fosters ended a couple days ago.
I am currently really getting into Rise and just saw that they canned this show too, after only one season.
Shadowhunters.
Lucifer.
Imposters.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was announced to end after the next season too.
My list of shows with rep is shrinking and shrinking and shrinking. What’s left?
Orange is the New Black.
Shameless.
One Day at a Time.
Black Lightning.
Runaways.
Eight out of thirteen shows with LGBT+ representation ended or got ended this year. That is literally two third of the shows with positive representation that I am watching. And then there’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which they technically also canned, but hey - the fans brought that back.
Eight. They canned in some way or shape eight shows with positive LGBT+ representation within the past two months.
I am intensely tired of this shit. I recently did inventory. I watch a total of 78 TV shows “currently running”, including those 13. And 8 of them got canceled.
That means out of 70 currently airing shows, I only get five with LGBT representation? That’s straight-up pathetic, man. Emphasis on the “straight”.
So, the point of this post, aside from me being hyper angry about this, is that if you got a good show with LGBT+ representation to recommend - leave it in the replies, because so far Pride Month has been filled with news of cancellation for me and it’s really pissing me off.

This incredible invention is keeping girls in school

For Trinitas Kunashe, like many girls in Malawi, getting her period was unexpected, unexplained and a burden for her everyday life. Often, girls who do not have access to pads prefer to stay home and out of school for the duration of their periods.

But Trinitas is changing that with her amazing new invention:

Made from bright and comfortable locally-sourced fabrics, Tina Pads are a hit amongst girls in her community. They are waterproof, practical and fun – and most importantly reusable.

Determined to make sure no girl is forced to miss school because of her period, Trinitas is a passionate believer in the power of education to change lives.

Fake Service Dogs?

Tue, 26 Jun 2018 10:17:38 +0100

You’re sitting at a cafe with your friend when suddenly a woman walks in with a toy poodle in her purse. The manager at the counter informs her “I’m sorry, but we do not allow dogs”. She replies with a heavy sigh and a “She’s a service dog. She can come with me”. Not knowing much about service dog law, and worrying about getting sued for asking further questions, he sits this woman down at a booth. There, she promptly unzips her purse and places the dog on the booth seat next to her. When the woman’s food comes out, the little dog begs and she feeds her bits off her plate. This dog is not public access trained, and proceeds to bark at those who walk by. This dog is a nuisance and causes many in the restaurant to complain. The manager cannot do anything but inform the unhappy customers that this is a service dog, so he can’t ask her to leave. In the end, it’s the customers who end up leaving.

Now I walk in with my highly trained service dog pressed against my leg in a perfect heel position, and I’m quickly bombarded by the manager telling me “No dogs! No dogs! We ALL know what happened last time”. Confused, I tell him “This is my medical alert and medical response service dog. Her right to accompany me is protected under federal law.” With a sigh, he seats me at a table far away from others where my dog promptly tucks under my feet, out of sight. When my food arrives my dog is still tucked tightly under the table because she knows she’s not supposed to eat when she’s on duty. She stays there ignoring those who walk past for the remainder of my meal. When we leave, a woman by the door exclaims “Woah, I didn’t know there was a dog here!”

See the difference?

Scenario number two occurs at a local grocery store when a man decides to bring his certified emotional support animal into the store with him. Upon entering he flashes a fancy ID card and certification papers. This dog is not as unruly as the first, but he still forges ahead of his handler, sniffs the food on display, and may seek attention from those who walk past. You find this dog adorable, and when he and his owner walk past you ask to pet him. The owner says yes and explains how all he had to do was go online, register his dog, and a few weeks later they sent him a vest, ID card, and certification papers.

Now I pull into the same grocery store. I’m in a rush to get an ingredient for a dish I’m making so I hurry into the store with my service dog next to me. I’m quickly stopped by a manager who demands to see my service dog’s certification card. Remember, this is NOT required by law, and most real service dog teams don’t have them. After 15 minutes of trying to educate, pulling up the ADA website on my phone, back and forth bickering, and drawing more of a crowd than I want to describe… I’m finally allowed in. I grab my ingredient, stand in line (where my service dog obediently moves between my legs to make space for those around me), and I get bombarded by people asking to pet my dog. I explain that she’s working, she has a very important job to do, and she’s not allowed to be pet while on duty. People walk away grumbling and complaining about how rude I was when other handlers like the man they met earlier allow their dog to be pet.

Moral of the story? Fake service dogs create real problems. The ones who are impacted the most are the true service dog handlers who rely on their dogs every day to help mitigate their disability. How would you feel if everywhere you went, you couldn’t make it 10 feet in the door because people were asking you questions? Imagine how much time that would take out of your already hectic day. Businesses lose customers because word gets out that there are unruly dogs in their store, customers become misinformed and start thinking some of these behaviors are okay, some people even start to believe the lies that anyone can just register their dog online and make him a service dog. The result? MORE fake service dogs. MORE real problems.

I will reblob this until I die because it’s one of the few things that constantly genuinely infuriates me

PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD.

Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles
and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!

If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is
boiling hot as well.

Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc.

Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil.
Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc.

Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this.

Snopes confirms.

I’ve dealt with these before. If you find one:

Do not touch it

Do not touch it

Clear the area around it. It will explode on its own in time.

Once it explodes, do not make contact with the liquid inside. If needed, flush it away with large amounts of water.

Do not try to detonate it. You’ll probably be disfigured.

I’ve seen what these can do. The acidic liquid inside can strip the paint off a car.

when i visited vancouver these were everywhere. it’s not a fucking joke they’re actually scary

Just a reminder that there are awful shitty people out there doing awful shitty things to everyone else

there was a bunch of these at disneyland

i found one in my back yard, when i let my dogs out, i pulled them back inside, took my cousins bb shotgun and shot it from a safe distance (i was in my house and shot from the screen door. When it went off, my family and neighbors came running to see if everything was ok. I told them what happened and to watch out for them.

These things are not a joke! When we went to check the damage there was a fucking hole in the ground. The dirt in my yard is like CLAY.

This shit is bad news

PLEASE DON’T BE AN ASSHAT. PLEASE DON’T LEAVE BOMBS IN PEOPLE’S YARDS.

Please spread this information!

the one fucking time I actually will signal boost cuz I didn’t know about this and would never ever wanna learn about it first hand

we actually had the bomb squad called to our house for something like this and it totally ruined the paint on my big bro’s car. :c

@takashi0

Shared before, but sharing again.

this isnt my blog type but its really important

Please be aware and be careful. These can harm people, pets, property and wildlife.

If you see one, keep your distance and wait for it to go off on its own.

My brother delt with one by putting a large metal bowl over it, but that’s extremely dangerous as well.

Be safe please.

SIGNAL BOOST. I HAVEN’T SEEN THESE BUT WILL KEEP A LOOK OUT.

august097:

382-12 (Part 1)
There is no reason to introduce myself, because, as far as the universe knows, I am dead. But, nonetheless, I will tell you my story. I was a Genesist. Not to be confused for a geneticist, though you do need to be part geneticist to be a genesist. What is a genesist? Well, it is quite simple. We create and guide the evolution of life. We literally play God.

Obviously, this is a controversial profession and many do not support it. But for those involved, it is the greatest career. You create art that literally breaths life. However, there are strict laws enforcing this profession. But, like all laws, there are people who think they are above the law. Unfortunately, when your profession is considered immoral, such people tend to be the only ones who want to hire you. So, I was hired by a secret military branch of the Galactic Federation, the Kin of Shadows.

The KS had many projects throughout the universe. 515 to be exact. Each one is developing some kind of tech for the use of intergalactic warfare. While the galaxy is united under the GF, there are states within vying for power. The KS’s purpose is to secretly keep these wars contained and keep the civilians ignorant of the infighting. If they didn’t, the GF could collapse.

So, you can guess why I was hired. To create biological weapons. Not bacterial, that was project 150. But instead animals and plants that can kill. Unleash them and watch the carnage they create out of pure encoded instinct. That was my task. That was the task of project 382.

I was not the only one working on this project. There were eleven others. Each one assigned a world. Our project names were given based on that. This is project 382 on the twelfth assigned planet, so the planet called 382-12. All the projects were assigned numbers like this. Our jobs were to turn these worlds into habitats of exploitable life.

You may be wondering why is an entire ecosystem necessary. Well, while genetic manipulation can create all kinds of insane creatures, Mother Nature has always shown its superior skill. It can create things that we would never think of. In other words, we let evolution do the work. We manipulate the environment, creating a new problem they need to evolve to solve. And they improve far better than any truly artificial beast.

When arrived to the world, I found that it was already worked on. This is unavoidable because it takes eons to work on this project. So, a single generation, while lasting hundreds of millennia, is still insufficient. So far the planet has produced several type of bioweapons. The most devastating were these giant insulated bipedal predators. They now are used in warfare across the galaxy. A few hundred millennia ago, the previous genesist working this world wiped them out so he could create a new project. He chose small insulated quadrupedal predators to be the ancestors of this new line.

These creatures were unique in that they secreted a fluid from pores to nourish their young. Because of this, he called them secretors. They quickly took over the niches that the previous life occupied. However, he didn’t make any satisfactory creations, so he was fired and I took his place. I don’t fully understand why the KS officers didn’t like his creations. Sure they weren’t big like those bipeds, but they were still interesting.

Because of that, I decided to keep them and continue where my predecessor left off. I took the aquatic secretors and enlarged them to humongous size. I created predators who may be smaller than the bipeds, but are smarter and more nimble. I even experimented with other groups. I created my version of the bipeds by enlarging one of the still surviving avian variety. It didn’t do as well as I hoped, but another project got me a bonus. I took an aquatic predator and enlarge it so it could hunt the giant aquatic secretors. Now no enemy waters are safe.

I was finally doing well. I was set for a decent life. But old memories of my past would lead me to stray from my assigned goals. I would do something not even the KS would allow. I created a sentient race.
