I think it's because we knew our hair would be with her.

And she still protects those wigs a decade later and remission going strong

It's funny i was raised that every piece of hair must be accounted for and destroyed to protect from bad Medicine, yet when my friend got cancer it was the first thing several of us did together was donate for her wigs.

I cut my hair once to donate it to a friend, it was such a rough world to not recognize myself and wait for it to grow back

It's funny how many humans believe a myth that folks that invaded someone else's lands and murdered the families they found were the real oppressed.

This sucks.

Like he's an artist of the ridiculous, and the work he's done is a big part of my life.

This is sadder than when Cameron said Avatar was what would have happened if Natives cared enough to fight harder.

I'm starting to think Europeans that left Europe to colonize America weren't actually fleeing tyranny

Yes "oh 100%" is a common phrase of agreement with a statement, and i was agreeing with the statement, so i used the common phrase.

Oh 100% people in Portland also don't like to realize the people of say Kalamath might be militia racist, but they themselves are new age racist, and both are dangerous to marginalized folk.
