hey!!! have you ever wanted to watch an actual Quileute elder talk about Quileute culture, language, and tradition? (as well as his family history, the damage Twilight has done, climate change, and so much more?)

trick question. this is an intervention. even if you’ve never wanted that, you do now.

this is a video of Chris Morganroth, a Quileute elder, canoe-builder, language teacher, and a fantastic storyteller. he is wearing a shirt covered in pictures of wolves: his cousin made it for him! this is a recording of a 2012 speech at the Smithsonian. it is about an hour long. it is so worth it.

(big thanks to @twilightphasepodcast, who cited this as a resource in their latest episode, which was how i found it!)

Me whenever I see a mutual I haven’t seen post in a long while:

If a felon is president, every felon needs to be able to vote immediately from this moment forward

And work any fucking job they meet qualifications for, regardless of conviction

My friends and I used to do this thing where we'd dress up on a theme and go do something totally normal.

We dressed up as pirates and went bowling.

We dressed as vikings and went to the grocery store. The security guard told us we had to move our longship because it was illegally parked.

We dressed as Romans and went to Blockbuster. The staff chanted, "toga! Toga! Toga!" at us.

We dressed up all steampunk and went to the museum. Tourists kept taking our picture.

I used to do historical reenactment when I was at University. I would go to class before session as a Norman knight, and when the session was over me and some of my buddies I did it with would get the bus home in the same kit. Stop at the Tesco's in full armour for beer and supper and ice cream, then get together at Irish's place for a LAN party.

It's enrichment for all involved. I remember being told I was 900 years late for the battle, and asking the bus driver where the horses were.

I genuinely think the world would be a much better place if more people felt comfortable dressing a bit silly out in public.

people born in 2000 should be like 12-14 now. but they’re not. that’s how fucked up our world is now

The older this post gets the funnier it becomes

My cousin born in 2000 is a licensed psychologist.

that’s how fucked up our world is now

A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.
