"For decades, fans of beloved pop culture franchises have come together as communities to do good in the world. It’s a concept called “fan activism,” and in the fight against rising fascism it’s one of the best tools an organizer could hope for".

We have an elder in need. He was in a serious car accident, while being checked out it was discovered that he had lung cancer. He is undergoing treatment and money has been tight. If you are able, let's help ease this elder's hurt.

The impact of Native mascots on predominantly White communities needs to be studied in light of recent @pngisd news. This thread is EVEN MORE relevent given the level that this entire community has taken on Native stereotypes as individual and community identities.
