    Actually a bear is very unlikely to come after you. I come from an extremely rural part of Alberta, Canada, and large bears would sometimes wander in and near town. They wouldn’t run around swiping people up and murdering them, they would just basically wander around eating garbage and looking for food. The reality is that if you were in the woods with a random bear, unless it was starving or you were near its Cubs, it likely wouldn’t see you as important.

    I’ll tell you what though. The bodies of indigenous women would get found in the woods sometimes. Bears didn’t put them there, men did.




  • I started playing at 14. I am now 36 and am a extremely proficient player. A good friend of mine has been playing since he physically could hold a guitar, effectively his entire life. While he is a far superior musician to me, the difference between our abilities can only really be seen in the extremely minut details, details only other musicians can notice. We’re effectively peers.

    My point is that it’s never too late to start playing music. The world begins to suck a little less when a new musician is born.

    Native person here. Europe does not just get to absolve itself from the genocide that happened in North America. By upholding the systems that enacted the colonization in genocide of indigenous folk, the world over, you perpetuate and uphold the harm caused. This is your history, so this is your fault.
