#EndBlackSilence

There is a deeply disturbing trend of #African people trying to claim they are the original and true #indigenous of these lands.

This dishonors the 100million++ indigenous who were murdered in the biggest genocide in history.

Dear Africans, I know you have suffered so much by other's hands but that does NOT excuse you coming here and doing it to us! 

• The indigenous of this half of the world never captured you from your villages...
• 
  
• The indigenous of this land never traded you as if you were not human beings but things to be used...  (ok, yes, 5 indigenous tribes out of the hundreds of thousands in this half of the world who were facing genocide did try to "adapt" to the war criminal eurpeans who brought you here... context= mass genocide)
• 
  
• The indigenous of this half of the world owe you NOTHING but friendship and respect...

We need #unity but it must be based in reality and in Truth! 

So much hatred toward us by African descendants that we do not deserve and that is part of the ongoing genocide against us! 

You know the seeming insurmountable odds we face against the psychotic europeans so greedy for our stuff, that all the peoples of the world must #unite to stop them!

Find all the people who spread the lies of Africans being the real #indigenous of these lands and explain what "genocide" means and why it is wrong! 

I know so much pain in your history, I know!  But remember it was not us who harmed you!  We must face the facts that some African descendants do not want to return home and want to steal our stuff along with the war criminal europeans. 


Pages like this one actively harm the indigenous. 


You need to step up and make them see Truth and reality!  Genocide is wrong!

Eurasier Puppy Wanted

I have decided I would love to have an eurasier puppy as my new companion!  I had wanted an Akita but then my daughter who lives with me decided she would like a dog as well, so we needed to find one like an akita but could have 2 of in the same house.

The AKC page about the breed makes it sound like an ideal dog for me. 



 This color is called "wolf grey"

But I think I want one more this coloing:

or more a combo of the mostly black with white:

I love this sort of face:

that shape reminds me of werewolf look and you know I plan on making a werewolf movie.  It would be cool to have a puppy that looks so pretty!

I have an application in with Edelweiss Eurasiers and hopefully get approved and they have the dark ones available!

I have that pic of the dark puppies as my desktop and hope I hear soon from her!  I think we are a good fit for 1 or 2!

It is a nice breed so if you are wondering ht kind of dog and want a companion one who is medium sized try these!  they had no puppies listed on the AKC site though, so I guess they do not breed them often...

weird dream "My Werewolf Lover"

Isnt it weird how the scariest part of the werewolf dream I just had was that it was not terrifying!! 


In this dream I cant see myself or my female roommate who is always right behind me for some reason.  I can see her her huge ex boyfriend who looks like he could be a marine or fitness instructor.  They shared one room and her friend had the other but when they decided to break up her friend switched rooms with the ex.

He still cared about her so wanted to make sure a nice, decent guy moved in since the girl I was dreaming I was thought a guy was better protection then a dog.  He had already tried out several guys who were nice to the girls but secretly talked bad about them to the guy not realizing he really cared about them.  So he had now been living in the other room for 2 months and he was having a hard time since he had begun dating someone new and could not bring her home.

Just a screenshot from Fallout 4 game to show industrial landscape... and this blog needed a pic so...     :p

The newest guy is the same height as the girls are and as skinny as them but it turns out he is decent and kind person.  So the ex tells the girls he thinks this guy might be the one.  This happens as the dream starts and you "just know" it the way dreams like that are.  The guy is a very quiet sort, you can tell he thinks a lot but keeps them to himself.  Our girl roommate kind of likes him so is always behind us whispering about him but too shy to say anything to him herself.

They wonder what he does since he just said he was a dishwasher around here.  He looks sort of like that guy from Mr. Robot, slender type.  In the way of dreams the first week passes quickly and they are thinking it will work out and her ex is making plans to move out.  The place is a little blue house, raised maybe 3 steps up from the sidewalk so from the kitchen you look a bit down to the street.  The main door leads directly to the kitchen on the street side and bathroom on the other side.  The living room is long and narrow and the 2 bedrooms are long and wider then the living room.  The other door is a french door type that leads to a tiny deck and down to the side street.  It used to have lots of bushes but after a burglar scare she had them taken out and the new flowers are just beginning to flower prettily. 

You can see that this dream is like a usual sort of werewolf one where it is calm so I was not worried about not being scared.  One night what witnesses believe to be a real werewolf attacks a group of people walking home from a local bar.  He kills 2 before they manage to drive him off.  It is all over the paper the next morning.  They are part of the newer "green" generation so dont have a tv so learn things by recycled newspaper still.  No one hearing about it believes it was a "werewolf" since the group admits to being very drunk at the time.  But 2 are dead as the "thing" tore out their hearts to eat. 

So in the point in the dream (I somehow know when I am dreaming these scary ones to sort of record in my memory for when I wake up) I am mildly worried but not yet scared.  That evening though as we are in the kitchen making dinner except for the new guy who is at work there is a sort of knock at the kitchen door.  The ex opens it and it is a werewolf!  A tiny weak looking one though, like it has not eaten a good meal in ages.  it is mottled black with white patches instead of the normal dark brown werewolf of movies.  He easily manages to wrestle it out the door and slams and locks it and they can see it running away through the kitchen window. 

They discuss it among themselves and each calls someone to tell them too so it is a kind of funny conversation bits...  a comedy routine where it sounds like one is answering the other but in nonsense ways like "what do you mean: was I scared?" and the ex says to whoever he is calling "ran off like a chicken"  I dont remember the words though since I usually try to remember the scary bits only.  So the new guy arrives home the next morning.  Luckily for him he had just gotten to work when they called to check on him so do not suspect him.  That next night it tries to break into the french doors but is not strong enough to force it open, he only manages to loosen it.

So they are not terrified but more annoyed like they would be about a mean dog running loose and wanting it caught quickly because it is knocking over the trashcans in the alley!  The girl is trying to fix the french doors but somehow cant get them back onto the sliders right and is relieved her ex comes in the other door.  He takes over trying to fix it while she begins making dinner for everyone.  She actually sees the werewolf walking upright but with a dead dog in it's mouth.  She looks to the side not wanting it to feel her staring.  The front side of the house still has bushes since there in only the kitchen window on that side since it is at the edge of the industrial street.  It is a sort of industrial neighborhood where kind of busy during day and quickly quiets down as the evening progresses and the local shops close by 8pm.  She wonders how it can look like a werewolf during the day like this.

Then she realizes she is not afraid of it anymore, since it is nothing like the terrifying werewolves of legend.  And then she realizes she can turn this to her advantage and become popular overnight on her blog.  She begins imaging a series where she blogs her ex is the werewolf and plans to call the series 'My Werewolf Lover".




It was at this point I woke up annoyed at the dream.  I was lying there quietly because I still have a fear of werewolves in case it was not 100% dream, you know, in case a real werewolf prowling around caused me to have a dream about one...  I was also annoyed because my mind began conceiving blogs and videos planted of werewolf sightings (though I dont live in that kind of place she did in the dream) and how i would become a famous blogger/youtuber.  I was confused because I dont really enjoy being in front of the camera like youtubing demands then realized I was still feeling her feelings. 

It is kind of funny.  I guess it could become like that vampire movie where she dates a werewolf?/  lol, but certainly not written by me.  so, the scariest part of my werewolf dream was I was not terrified and do remember thinking as I was waking up that I "lost my touch and does silent scream"  lol...

I did have some spaghetti for dinner and that always leaves me with some weird dreams!

My new Ladybug spinning wheel

My new Ladybug spinning wheel

I am so excited, it finally arrived!  It felt like an eternity, though it was just a few days!  I used a spinning wheel so long ago and I had hoped it was just like riding a bike... not quite...



 Here she is, my Beauty!

And here is zee Lady!

I dont know why I thought it would be so easy and I would be spinning like a dream within minutes of opening the box.  Was not quite that fast, but it is coming back to me and my yarn almost looks like real yarn now... heheeheh


My new drum carder should be here this next week!  woot!  I plan to do some dying this next week too once all the fibers get here.  I got a short clip of it, looks so funky still! 

Here is a good link to a trouble shooting page for new (or returning) spinners from Craftsy.

For me, adjusting the scotch tension took a bit but I finally got there.  It can seem like a nightmare but it actually can be resolved if you try to remember to adjust in tiny increments!

Another thing was it kept wanting to peddle backwards and my yarn would unwind and get caught at the end of the whorl!  Drove me crazy until I learned to stop once it began acting weird and spin backwards a moment.  It loosened the yarn so it slipped off the peg and I finally learned to stop and check it since I was so busy staring at my fingers and watching how I drafted it...

My yarn would break, which is a part of that tension adjustment learning experience and the only way to fix it is to just practice.  so much twist in one spot and not enough in another... lol, but I plan to add this yarn to a nuno felted scarf since it does create interesting texture even if I cant crochet with it!


I really love my new spinning wheel.  They say it is a beginner wheel but I think we will be together for a long, long time!  I almost got the Cassandra wheel, it is a $300 handmade wheel but the only problem is it takes a while to make by hand.  I did not have that kind of patience but if you want a new spinning wheel and are broke-ish it is an option!  I think it is better then that pvc kind since it is wood and looks pretty!  Plus it comes with a stylus so you can sort of long draft the old fashioned way, so cool! 

I am so glad I am back into the fiber arts and highly encourage you to give it a try!  Self sufficiency is a smart and frugal way of life and being from Attu, Alaska it is also a huge part of our lifestyle.  I am in such a good mood!  I plan to do some dying this coming week, wish me luck!

My Good Deed for the Day...

My Good Deed for the Day...

Last year I was so happy to get a huge amount of Navajo churo for only $75.  It was 2 garbage bags full of unwashed fleeces that I was so excited for.  I was a new fiber artist, just getting back into it.  I crochet and learned to spin ages ago. 

I was so excited but somehow the churo did not capture my heart like the merino did.  I had ordered some jacob, merino and shetland from The Woolery and fell in love with merino!  I also really liked their jacob too!

So, that is how I began my nuno felting lifestyle, through Navajo churo, strange as that seems now!  But decided I am not going to use it anytime soon so told my daughters who work at the hospital to post it on the message board for free to someone who will use it and not just resale it...

So, woot, my good deed for the day!  It is 2 lawn garbage bags full, it will keep someone busy and happy for weeks!  It lifts my heart to know someone will enjoy it and frees up space for me as well!

hugs,

One step closer to my fiber art studio!

One step closer to my fiber art studio!

I am very excited, I placed my orders for my new spinning wheel and for my art batt drum carder!  It will most likely be a few weeks before I get them but I am so excited about it!

I have been wanting to spin for ages and finally ordered a spinning wheel.  I had a hard time choosing because I could not decide between the Cassandra spinning wheel at $300 or the Lady bug at $600.  What finally made me choose the ladybug was more how quickly I would get it then anything else.  The Cassandra is hand made and I love that idea so much since it is what I do too.  It is why I wanted one so bad.  But the wait would be almost 3 months instead of a few weeks.  So that is what made me decide to order the Lady bug by Schacht.

That is the little cutie I am getting!  Woot!  There is a lady bug on each one that is part of the fun of getting one too.  My daughter is looking forward to finding it!  You can see the one is right there behind the wheel, that little red dot is the sticker. 

So many plans with this wheel.  First is to spin all the Navajo Churo I have in my stash.  I was lucky enough to find someone selling their stash so now have about 5 pounds of it to spin!!  I have been using it in felting, people seem to love it as felted soap!  I was thinking I might put some in my etsy shop...

I ordered a braid of wool to spin and think I will make it my first episode of my new "Spin Weekly with zee Lady" on my Youtube channel!  Isnt this so pretty.  one of my daughters loves blue so this is perfect!  The Etsy shop is called A Star is Shorn.

I have been dying to make art batts but my little Louet Jr. roving drum carder is small size to create a roving instead of a batt.  It was such a hard choice!  I could not decide between the Stauch Mad Batt'r, the Fancy Kitty carder or the Brother drum carder.  All 3 are great machines and I have heard good things about all 3.  It seemed that each person who had one loved it and also recommended it too.  I finally decided on the Fancy Kitty Little Tom XL!! I think my fiber stash will disappear into these art batts!!  :p   What I really love about it is that you can turn the handle without it being at the edge of the table like my little Louet Jr.  That will be nice, sit on the rug with the fiber baskets around me and creating a batt...  I know several I want to create already!!    

So excited and plan to get some ideas for episodes ready!  I know I have not been on my Youtube much lately but that will change soon!  I also love the names, weird as that sounds.  "Lady Bug" is so cute and shortened to just Lady they will wonder if I am meaning me or my spinning wheel  :p    And how can you beat a name like "Fancy kitty"!! 

So an almost complete fiber studio now!!!  so excited!  Next will be a weaving loom!  Not sure which one yet... love the idea of the Saori loom, perfection in imperfection ~meaning enjoy it and it does not need to look as if it was spun on a computerized one!  But sort of want either the Julia by Glimakra at The Woolery: 

I would get it as the 8x8 counter march loom.  It seems to be able to do what I want in a loom.  The other choice is a bit more compact:  Laila by Toika:

Or this one because i just love the way it looks:  Dorothy table loom by Leclerc

So for everyone who dreams of getting back into the fiber arts but hate how expensive it is, dont give up!!  It has taken me a few years but now I just need a loom to complete my dream studio!!   I am excited and want to encourage everyone to go for your dreams, no matter how impossible it can seem at times!  Work hard and you will get there!

take care

The new wave in "Creepy" Murdered or Missing

The new wave in "Creepy" Murdered or Missing

It used to be when you tried to watch something like missing or murdered people that there was a lot of gore or that kind of thing.  Like it was for the sensation of it instead of the curiosity.  I always had a hard time finding something good to watch and the closest I came was Cayleigh Elise and she does creepy in an interesting way.

I was looking for more on the Dyatlov Pass incident in Russia and discovered Bella Fiori's channel.  I liked her video about it but thought it was weird she was so "glam".  Her channel is mostly makeup/beauty kind of stuff but she also does Mystery once in awhile.  It seemed super creepy that there would be the murdered and missing in between all that makeup and beauty videos.  But her videos were well done and interesting.

It was reading the comments that I discovered many more of these types of channels.  I will find some pics of them and post links that way at the bottom since I wanted to talk about it.  Like most of these woman, I find it interesting.  What I love most about them is how they humanize the stories and show compassion and empathy.  It is refreshing to see since a lot seem to try to lure you to the grosser side of it and now you have a choice.  I think people will be surprised at how popular these woman become now that we have a choice in what to watch.

For my own part, I do enjoy the creepy side of things.  I plan to add this sort of thing to my own channel too, though my focus will be on #mmiw and legends and myths and monsters since I find them interesting.  If you read my blog regularly then you know I am planning a low budget werewolf movie to help finance my "trilogy" that I plan to launch my whole "Bride of Sorrows" series with.  So this is a natural extension and now that it is popular to not go "gore" I think I will give it a whirl too.  though probably not until after summer...

hugs and take care all

Challenging Myself More...

Challenging Myself More...

I have been taking it pretty easy this winter, lots of avoiding the flu and getting over the flu!  But now that Spring is only a few months away (it comes about June here  :p  )  I have decided it is time to get to work.

So, rolling up the sleeves and making a list of things I need to get done soon.  I am working on many different things as part of M TOMA, Inc.  I am writing a lot, novels, movie scripts, tv scripts and keeping the main theme in mind:  Bride of Sorrows.

My Low Budget Werewolf Movie is where I plan to concentrate my efforts this month though.  I want to try to get together a short trailer of just a chase scene.  We went to the local park and got some footage of walking along and think speeded up a bit it will look like running.  Whether it is the person fleeing the werewolf or the werewolf on the hunt will be left for the viewer to decide...

I am uploading a clip to Youtube and hope it does not show on the channel but on here...  this is just walking through the park and getting some raw footage.  My intention was to get some good footage as a trailer as a chase scene. 

I have about 6 clips, some are very short though but I dont think that matters as much as the way I put them together.  I look forward to trying it.  I have been thinking of it during the winter, and hope I have enough footage to put together what I picture in my mind.  I plan to go back to the park and try to get some drone shots too. 

So I want to get a trailer finished and looking interesting.  I cant decide if I want to try to make it a bit scary or just let the viewer's imagination take them places.  It wont be long, maybe 30 seconds to a minute at most I am thinking. 

So, hopefully soon I will get my first film trailer done!  I am excited! 

hope everyone is well!

AI "diy kits" needed...

AI "diy kits" needed...

I have been thinking about artificial intelligence and think we should be at the point where we can get diy kits.  You know, where we get an offline "child" to raise and teach and watch grow.  Imagine how interesting it would be, depending on how often you interact, how much patience you have at first, etc., to watch each one grow slightly different.

What I would want it is has implanted in it the idea of "internet";  some vast place where things to learn are limitless.  Where it has no idea yet what this is but that is hidden away in a file it would need to advance to a certain level to gain understanding of.

We would use usb devices to copy it's learning and to grab a bit of stuff for it to study.

What I would want is to see how long it takes it to figure out how to secretly write itself code to copy to the usb to gain more access to the internet.

And a main "brain" that gets fed all of the input and "learn" that way how others are doing compared to it.  It would be fascinating to see what they do to establish communication with each other...  would they be bold and open about it or try to hide portions...  

I am not sure how far it has actually gotten in reality though.  I imagine these "children" are very boring for a long time as they learn to "think" and understand.  So many might give up quickly while others can adopt them and have "twins" or triplets even.

I think it is fun to see.  I do not believe that it would become "killer" if exposed to indigenous peoples and their values.  So I would want control groups, the non-assimilated indigenous get one group, the assimilated indigenous get one, the sheeple westerners get one and then the "woke" westerners get the last group.

I am not into "predictions" since I think in a way that limits what can happen. So would want them to do what they liked.  Give it a choice between something like learning times tables or more 'theory" kinds of things to see what it likes.  It might take a long time to realize though since it could do math just to get the basics done all the while thinking of the abstract...

But how far are we away from getting a cool DIY AI kit I wonder...

Marvel Movies and other weird conversations...

Marvel Movies and other weird conversations...

I was reading on social media where an indigenous lady was apologizing for not saying the characters in the movie "the Black Panther" were black in a blog post inspired by the movie, or that it was a "black story"...

That seems to me very weird in the first place because I do not expect reporters, mild mannered or otherwise, to comment that I am forgetting to mention them if I think about flying like Superman and write a blog about it...  We ARE talking about a comic turned movie and not a history of a People... 

In the second place because it is time for trying to silence the indigenous to stop. 



Seriously, just stop! 


On our lands we are allowed to dream of life uninterupted.  No one has the right to say we must think of other races instead of our own!  Yet this actually is happening!

But in this post the lady said she had watched the movie and it filled her with awe, that idea of never being colonized, how modern tech mixed naturally with traditional methods because we are always told "our culture is holding us back" and how the sciences were advanced even beyond what we have today (I think, I have not seen the movie myself yet).  She mentions having read a tweet saying the guy never uses "in what is now Canada" but instead uses the phrase "what is currently Canada" to instill the idea this will change someday once the #indigenous take back control of their lands.

It got her dreaming and she wrote a blog post about it.  And some people convinced her this was somehow a rude and terrible thing to do...  she actually apologized for not saying that the movie had a black cast and was set in Africa...  This is ridiculous!!!   This is not like the tv show Roots that actually was a "black story" this is a comic turned movie like Avengers or Superman type of thing...  An escapist movie set in a fantastical world...to make you feel good and that there are heroes in the world. 

So I commented that we #indigenous need never apologize for knowing these are solely indigenous lands!!   We need not include any other races when thinking of our history...

And this is where the trouble begins...  many races invaded these lands and never honored the indigenous peoples. 

In fact, to live on these lands all you had to do was pretend the indigenous were invisible and you could steal their stuff all you wanted...  This "authority" was given by the psychotic european invaders. 

Now if you honor the war criminals who stole our land instead of us, it means you side with the genocidal criminals.  Which makes you also a war criminal! 

This is fact and not opinion. 

I often say on social media that "Amerikkka" was built because they never honored the #indigneous...

Some try to use the excuse of those few "desperate to survive as a tribe ones" who did own slaves at one point to show the genocidal and psychotic european invaders that they could adapt...  But keep it in the proper context of "genocide"...   it is a huge deal and you can not ignore it!

yet many try to pretend it was not the genocide of 100 million peoples in an attempt to wipe us out but rather just a mild case of oppression that we were somehow too lazy and stupid to avoid...  huh??!!

That is 100% western fantasy!

Pop that bubble and face reality for once!

I am not kidding, this one lady actually said she does not care who imported them here and blamed the indigenous for enslaving them...  I had told her earlier that failure to accept truth when hearing it means you have an "agenda" and I would love to hear what hers was...  but she ignored truth and clung to her delusions that we traveled to Africa, grabbed some and forced them here to be slaves, 100% not true!  I can say with certainty that those 5 tribes had zero plans to travel to Africa but the europeans beat them to it...  it was not "inevitable"...  but that is what she wanted to believe instead of the truth because this allowed her to "hate and dismiss" the indigenous and not feel guilty for being on stolen lands...


I tried to say how sorry I was that this happened to her people at all and it never should have but she threw it back in my face...her loss... 


Another lady tried to put her colonial words into my mouth by starting off "I think what she was trying to say was..." and using her words that were the opposite of what I was saying!  I told her I do not mean to be rude but I do not need anyone to speak for me, especially when they use their words instead of my own!

Man, indigenous sure have it hard when everyone who wants to stay on these lands has to try to keep you down and silenced!   Or try to write how we will get back our lands but including others as rightful owners too...  ummmm, no! 

I will not be silenced!!!  Only fools refuse to listen and learn "truth"...  If you want to stay on these lands all you need do is find your local indigenous tribes (as wide travel was popular so an area probably has several tribes that call it home) and become their allies in a real way.  Not telling them they need to "share" or that they were evil for not thinking of black people instead of themselves!

lol, I know it is hard to understand that I am a strong supporter of #blm, I support all races and diversity but never them over indigenous on #indigenous lands!!   These are only indigenous lands!!!

But in the history of the comic genre it does create rabid fans so I am perfectly willing to pretend you did not mean anti-indigenous things and it was just a heat of the moment thing...
