Cw: fish

On the 2nd of march 1964, a group of indigenous rights activists, among them actor Marlon Brando and Puyallup tribal leader Bob Satiacum, illegally fished in the Puyallup River to protest the denial of treaty rights to Native Americans. This form of civil disobedience is known as a “fish-in”, and in this specific incident both Brando and an Episcopal clergyman were arrested.

The fish-in was staged by the National Indian Youth Council, a Native American civil rights organization formed in Gallup, New Mexico in 1961. It became part of the so-called “Fish Wars”, a set of protests spanning decades in which Native American tribes around the Puget Sound pressured the U.S. government to recognize fishing rights granted by the Point No Point Treaty.

The protests eventually won indigenous people in the area the right to fish without state permits - in the 1974 case “United States v. Washington”, U.S. District Court Judge George Hugo Boldt stated that treaty right fishermen must be allowed to take up to 50% of all potential fishing harvests and required that they have an equal voice in the management of the fishery.

The so-called “Boldt Decision” was reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in 1979 and has been used as a precedent for handling other, similar treaties.

    Currently experiencing biblical levels of suffering living with my retired boomer parents because I can’t afford to live in an apartment anymore. I literally have no privacy and it’s making me insane

    When the revolution comes, the people who decided to blast shitty pop music on top of the already unsavoury noisescape in shops will be put against the wall by the Special Neurodivergents’ Revolutionary Committee.

    I feel like there’s tagline material in this hate mail sent to maia arson crimew (CW: transphobia, censored slur, reference to pornography)

    You are like a living symbol of everything wrong with chronically online uwu tenderqueers on the Internet. If it weren’t for people thinking you’re a “hacktivist” they would see that youre just another dumb ass virgin bisexual asexual lesbian quasi-demisexual queerplatonic polyamorous mewgender I-need-to-come-up-with-fake-microidentities-to-feel-uwu-valid type bitch who probably masturbates to ao3 incest omegaverse supernatural Harry potter fanfiction or whatever the fuck. Stop being so self centered and pretending like you are some oppressed revolutionist. You are just an online d*generate who has only done one meaningful thing in their life.

    My neighbor has a guest over, and now my nearly fresh roll of toilet paper is gone. I am not pleased.

    (If you’re wondering “why don’t you just share tp???” it’s cause the guy I share the bathroom with uses an entire roll PER DAY (at least) and i refuse to cover his doodoo expenses peterson-pain )

    The Total War series is the Dark Souls of Grand Strategy games, cause you can backstab (ambush) enemies (armies) and there’s a stamina system (movement range & tiredness)

    Shogun 2 Co-op campaign is very interesting. Instead of taking control of an enemy army during a battle, you can lend your own units to your spectating friend, and try to sync your tactics. Of course, when one is a fresh install, and the other has an unreasonable amount of hours in TW games, you get a lot of “This is exactly the thing Sun Tzu told failson generals NOT to do” moments. Very fun, highly recommend.

    Newest favorite Melpert bit is “Picard discusses his gooncave”

    CW: Objectively bad bit

    :picard-excited: “Oh yes mister Worf, I had a very impressive gooncave when I was in the academy.”

    :warf-wtf: “Sir, I envy your gooncave.”

    picard-annoyed “Mister Riker had a better one, of course, but we all do what we can mister Worf. And gooning was something I was exquisite at, in fact…”

    :warf-wtf: “Sir?”

    :picard-pointing: “It’s good for the soul, it’s good for the heart!”
