US POL, Native American rights 

The house discussed several bills concerning Native American rights this week:

H.R.2074 - Indian Buffalo Management Act
congress.gov/bill/117th-congre (still in the house, discussion postponed)

H.R.2930 - Safeguard Tribal Objects of Patrimony Act of 2021
congress.gov/bill/117th-congre (passed the house & sent to the senate)

H.R.4352 - To amend the Act of June 18, 1934, to reaffirm the authority of the Secretary of the Interior to take land into trust for Indian Tribes, and for other purposes.
congress.gov/bill/117th-congre (passed the house & sent to the senate)

I'm tentatively in favor of the first two (the third does clarifies some technical language but does...basically nothing else afaik) tho I'll do more research before I call my reps

I’m not sure I’m into it as the final solution (I’m team just hire a fucking consultant), but I do think it should be one of the options, if that makes sense? And it’d be quite a bit simpler than a lot of the other ideas going around haha

During this weeks round of ‘So is Ao3 ever going to get its shit together re:fandoms racism problem’ someone suggested ‘well if they’re going to keep claiming they’re an archive why not make it more like an actual archive and get rid of all the social aspects’ (specifically kudus, comments, & hitcounts, though the pro’s & cons of also ditching bookmarks were discussed)

I wonder whether the people I lend my notes to notice that 'administrata' is not actually a real word or if they just accept it

Damn skull.supply doesn't ship to Iceland :(
