So In Case You’re About To Watch A Cw Television Show Based In The Southwest That’s Featuring An

so in case you’re about to watch a cw television show based in the southwest that’s featuring an episode based on some supposed reservation – or you’ve read anything about the situation on the navajo nation recently – i wanted to share some ways that we all can help the diné (navajo) community beyond kind-of depicting them on television. 

today the navajo nation surpassed new york state and new jersey for the highest per-capita coronavirus infection rate in the country. that’s 2,304 cases per 100,000 people. 173,600 people live on the navajo nation, roughly. below are a number of organizations & community groups raising money & resources. it would mean so much to me if you’d consider supporting these communities right now - & continue to think about how you can support the indigenous communities near you, & understand the indigenous land you might currently occupy. 

the navajo water project helps bring running water to navajo families without, and also helps families pay their water & electricity bills 

the adopt an elder project helps feed navajo elders during the pandemic

the navajo health command operations center is the navajo nation’s only official fundraising and donation effort

rez rising is a database of native american small businesses across the southwest

the kinlani mutual aid group is a flagstaff, az based volunteer group collecting supplies

the native american relief fund operated by the native american community foundation provides emergency grants to communities for supplies & more

and a number of community-run fundraising efforts:

northern diné covid relief effort

navajo & hopi families relief fund

native student emergency fund

bluff area mutual aid - supply delivery in utah

navajo nation relief project

if you’re aware of any other legitimate fundraising efforts to help these communities, or the indigenous communities near you, please add them.

hey—the thread that starts like this?

Hey—the Thread That Starts Like This?

it's been debunked by snopes

i cannot stress enough that it has been debunked by snopes and contains dangerous misinformation

stop reblogging it! stop retweeting it! you are actively putting people in danger when you do so

Viral Post 'How To Fight Covid at Home' Provides Problematic Advice
Snopes.com
Though not all of the post's assertions lack a theoretical basis, their applicability to COVID-19 home care is largely flawed.

To those in Texas dealing with this shit show of a polar vortex, your friendly neighbourhood Canadian is here.

SO you’ve lost power and fucking freezing? First things first. You’re going to grab literally every blanket and pillow and cushion you can find.

Grab some newspaper or other papery material, it’s insulation.

Next, you’re going to build yourself a motherfucking blanket fort. Keep it small but with enough space you won’t feel like death.

Put the newspaper on the floor, put cushions and pillows, then your blankets. Build it up.

Any form of light source will also help (just please don’t light anything on fire). Keep that there.

As for clothing, you need to layer it up. Keep moisture wicking material as a base, then build it up. You might look like the Michelan tire man or Pillsbury Dough Boy but you’ll be warm.

If you have pets that are susceptible to the cold, put one of your shirts on them and bring them to the blanket fort.

KEEP YOUR TAPS DRIPPING SO THEY DON’T FREEZE.

DO NOT OPEN YOUR FRIDGE OR FREEZER UNLESS YOU HAVE TO. The temperature there will not protect your food enough.

If you have to go out at all, look for shiny patches on the road. That is black ice.

If you hit ice, don’t panic, don’t hit the pedals, lightly take your foot off the gas, steer into the skid to gain control again (do not over steer) and then straighten your wheel. Look where you want to go and then start slightly steering that way.

Pack clothes and blankets. Cardboard, shovel, and cat litter if you have it. This will help if you happen to get stuck.

IF YOU GET STUCK IN THE SNOW for the love of God do not just gun it. That will damage your vehicle and dig you into a bigger hole. You need to either wait for help or “rock” your vehicle. Hit the gas a little, then back off of it. Do this in a steady rhythm so that your car rocks. Rock with it.

Y'all can get through it. Stay safe my friends.
