Quileute Move to Higher Ground |

Hey everyone, with all this discussion around Twilight happening lately, let’s take advantage of it by signal boosting an important issue.

For those who don’t know, the Quileute tribe used in Twilight is a real, actual tribe whose stories and traditions were stolen by Stephenie Meyer and butchered to suit her racist needs. You can read more about that here.

And now, they’re asking for help. Their tribal school, and several other important locations including housing, is in a massive tsunami risk zone. In 2012, they gained a lot of their traditional land back, and they’re finally able to move from highly dangerous areas to safer higher ground. But that sort of move is expensive and slow, so they’re accepting donations to make the transition happen as quickly as possible. The tribe has received federal funding to move the school, but that’s not the only location inside of the risk zone.

The Quileute people were treated terribly by both Meyer and her fans, and we can help make up for some of that damage by helping them now.

You can also follow the tribe’s Instagram and check out their Facebook.

Yeah, regarding that suicide hotline post I reblogged: I genuinely worry, with the number of mentally ill people on this site trying to live with and/or ease their mental illness, that some of these people are going to get tricked by Scientologist anti-psychiatry propaganda. I mean, that’s how cults lure people in; they pick people who feel there’s something missing or wrong with their lives and take advantage of them by claiming to have the solution to all their problems.

I’ve joked in the past about “What if the Church of Scientology got a Tumblr?” but there’s a part of me that’s worried that there are Scientologists on Tumblr trying to spread dangerous misinformation about mental health.

I hope that part of me is wrong.

UPDATE: So, uh, turns out a branch of $cientology technically HAS made Tumblr blogs. Several of them. If you see any blogs promoting a drug rehab facility called “Narconon”, please be aware that they ARE associated with the Church of $cientology, and they have a rather troubling history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narconon

2ND UPDATE: Same goes for any blogs promoting Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Commission_on_Human_Rights#Controversies_and_criticisms
