fadednick.dev•71 days ago

mohawkrainian.bsky.social•71 days ago

terijianbearheart.bsky.social•71 days ago

I'm sorry but I'm not the one who drew them eyebrows on 😭

adamjb.bsky.social•71 days ago

You think with all her healing powers she’d be able to heal her scorched brows.

thefoxprophet.bsky.social•71 days ago

I was thinking just that thing

Those brows were a CHOICE

jsnfra.bsky.social•71 days ago

WHAT THE FUCK

actualkatherine.bsky.social•71 days ago

Oh god she's probably Polish-American too 😬 I swear we are mostly not like that

actualkatherine.bsky.social•71 days ago

This kind of shit makes me so angry because we have our own cultural traditions to practice!! Which is what I do!There's no excuse to steal other cultures' practices and sell them!!!!

laberries.bsky.social•71 days ago

I went to her public FB and found this. (I swear to God it's the same person, I'm not lying)

liminalgrind.bsky.social•71 days ago

She's not even surprised in these photos.

terijianbearheart.bsky.social•71 days ago

Can you imagine if she was tho lol

liminalgrind.bsky.social•71 days ago

I don't even know where they'd go. Into the hairline? Behind her ears?

terijianbearheart.bsky.social•71 days ago

they'd leap off her face and attack you
shit, feel like they almost are already

tired-native.bsky.social•71 days ago

I’m gonna have nightmares now.

terijianbearheart.bsky.social•71 days ago

If everyone gonna tell me about their dreams at least bring some tobacco ties 😭

tired-native.bsky.social•71 days ago

I don't have access to red willow where I live, so I can't make any for the Cansasa offering anyway.

solace.bsky.social•71 days ago

She starred in A Bug’s Life

creeativentv.bsky.social•71 days ago

🤮

weyodi.bsky.social•71 days ago

oh boy, just what we need, more confused and entitled white people.

dandantransient.bsky.social•71 days ago

Just it here making websites

weyodi.bsky.social•71 days ago

as always

bexification.bsky.social•71 days ago

The, singular, culture. Only one across all Turtle Island 😐.

ironcurtainyc.bsky.social•71 days ago

LOL. If there's one marginalized culture that is the least monolithic, it would be indigenous North Americans, especially with all the different tribes and nations and the different customs and practices each one has. There is no "Native American" monoculture.

ironcurtainyc.bsky.social•71 days ago

That being said, there are indigenous people who are a mix of different tribes and nations. When I went to an Indigenous Peoples' Day event at Randalls Island in NYC last October, one native vendor had mixed-tribe ancestry. His wife called him a "mutt" (her words, not mine!).

dandantransient.bsky.social•71 days ago

Oh ya we mixed all over

jasontremblay.bsky.social•71 days ago

Me to my wife, “Our charms are irresistible.”

liminalgrind.bsky.social•71 days ago

That part absolutely drives me nuts about the whole thing. It really holds tribal people back in many ways. My own tribe very much included.

ironcurtainyc.bsky.social•71 days ago

It's also infuriating how you Natives were forbidden to practice *your own fucking tribal practices* until the late 1970's whilst there were racist sports teams and mascots!!!

dandantransient.bsky.social•71 days ago

Ok who fucking grifted this white lady into thinking she's the Indian Baptist?

pwr2dppl.bsky.social•71 days ago

"When Jessica was first learning to do this work for herself around 2010 her spirit guides had guided her to take a Native American smudging class. The Native Americans are some of the greatest spiritual teachers and they hold so much sacred wisdom within their culture."

What and whomst taf

dandantransient.bsky.social•71 days ago

"spirit guides" just out here pointing the way to a $55 class

aquatixwitch.bsky.social•71 days ago

Spirit guide was this guy:

deborahbuddingphd.bsky.social•71 days ago

It’s amazing (not really though) how many white people/non-natives don’t think “closed practice” actually applies to them

dandantransient.bsky.social•71 days ago

But but but she has "spirit guides"

deborahbuddingphd.bsky.social•71 days ago

I have learned that white people get really bent out of shape when it’s pointed out that what they are teaching other white people to do is a closed practice (especially when it’s another white person pointing it out)

dandantransient.bsky.social•71 days ago

They do not like the idea that anything is closed to them

pwr2dppl.bsky.social•71 days ago

I have been wanting a prefix or suffix to mean derogatory. So you could still say it's amazing but grammatically we would know you knew it was terrible.

deborahbuddingphd.bsky.social•71 days ago

English is a language of limitation (also of garbage grammar and spelling rule inconsistency)

ironriverotter.bsky.social•71 days ago

next she'll be accidentally cooking people in sweat lodges

terijianbearheart.bsky.social•71 days ago

she should move to AZ, big market for that

dandantransient.bsky.social•71 days ago

Oh that's coming right before the vision quests with Gatorade and jerky

aquatixwitch.bsky.social•71 days ago

jsnfra.bsky.social•71 days ago

IT'S A FUCKING CULT TOO THIS IS CULT SHIT "what do you want to gain in New Earth?" i'm not quoting it verbatim but it was to that effect and it actually does say "New Earth" this is a racist cult outfit!

alinahdee.bsky.social•71 days ago

why is it always some bitch named jessica

themaninblackfled.bsky.social•71 days ago

RIGHT?!?!???

snowbunny11ataol.bsky.social•71 days ago

Ok but maybe she can be guilted into doing some pro bono remote pet reiki* for some rez dogs

*a real diversity of appropriation

ziibiing.com•71 days ago

I’m surprised she didn’t say Native American indian

weedlordbonerchamp.hellthread.vet•71 days ago

Dawg 😫

ndntacocat.bsky.social•71 days ago

Very call now and receive two Native American Indian Culture baby dolls for the price of one and we’ll throw in a Kelly Ripa eyebrow pencil for free in the next 5 minutes.

alectoerinys.bsky.social•71 days ago

So, it's sacred...but she can just SELL it to other colonizers?

I say this as a cracker: White people - FUCKING STOP THIS SHIT!

It's real simple: If you're making money off of the a culture you've oppressed, it's cultural appropriation and it's WRONG.

dingledooiss.bsky.social•71 days ago

Four entire years in the southwestern US with THE Native Americans, how do like that

dandantransient.bsky.social•71 days ago

She got an ex on the Navajo Rez that's got some explaining

aquatixwitch.bsky.social•71 days ago

weedlordbonerchamp.hellthread.vet•71 days ago

Bro don't call my pops out like this go thru the proper channels

aquatixwitch.bsky.social•71 days ago

dandantransient.bsky.social•71 days ago

Your step mom just out here making that money

weyodi.bsky.social•71 days ago

Ah Native through spiritual injection

tired-native.bsky.social•71 days ago

Bro! I bet it comes with a certificate and everything!

cowgirlshebop.bsky.social•71 days ago

These people are why most Indigenous practices are closed.

dandantransient.bsky.social•71 days ago

I mean the fact that they were illegal and we could be killed for practicing is why they closed, these people are why they should remain that way lol

ironcurtainyc.bsky.social•71 days ago

I find it infuriating that Native practices were illegal here at all.

captainswallow.com•71 days ago

It seems her site has been scrubbed of both that 'event', and any mention of us pesky Natives. 🤪🤣

dandantransient.bsky.social•71 days ago

Good lol, shame worked

moonmonkey.bsky.social•71 days ago

called the business just to say I'm a member of a federally recognized Native tribe and you shouldn't be holding smudging classes. left me a voicemail about how "i didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm in service to my community, i deleted the pages for the event"

moonmonkey.bsky.social•71 days ago

"idk how people keep finding it" lol

vedraven.bsky.social•71 days ago

Fuck's sake, my fellow settlers are the worst.
