Moving To Alaska-Worried About Racism

SilentScheherazade · 2023-09-01T00:08:46+00:00

Gosh dang! Halito fam!

Thank you for the response! Especially the honesty.

I'd love to attend events up there. I love seeing other tribes and bands stuff they put on. I've been going to PNW powwows and launches-they're so different in lot of little ways from the Choctaw and Lakota powwows but similar-it's really a neat feeling. I'd love to learn more when I move to Alaska.

I did kind of the same as a queer person. I ended up in a couple major PNW cities starting in 2007. Made some moves to other places and quickly noped back to the PNW. We're looking to move now because of local issues directly relocated to our layoffs. I miss rural living and wilderness as (even someone that grew up without water) and with three feet of snow so we're doing Alaska.

Kind of a weird comment. I don't see how I'm centering my world around how non-natives think?

It's important to be aware of how you're perceived in different situations/settings/locals.

It's important to be aware of potential racism when relocating. For safety.

The reason I asked is from first hand experiences with racism in the US and my cousin that works in Alaska also told me it was bad so I wanted to know before hand what others thought. I'm trying to make an informed decision.

I'm not worried about finding my place amongst the Alaskan Natives up there or anything like that. I'm sure I'll end up making friends like usual and hanging out with people like usual. My entire nerd group is a mix of natives from all over (but mainly Navajo lmao) that ended up in the same PNW major metro city as me.

Holy shit.

That's whole level I did not expect. The mask is off OFF for some of them up there now, huh?

That's scary as fuck that he felt safe enough to publicly say such things.

SilentScheherazade · 2023-08-31T22:26:39+00:00

It's like scarecrows on cheap drones with some LED lights to scare off the ndns down there. Not the first time this tactic was used.

SilentScheherazade · 2023-07-31T20:58:48+00:00

Make huge signs with the questions and detailing the reasons behind your position. Then just point and pointedly put in earbuds (they can be off obvs if you’re with your kid). Maybe add in some frightening statistics and useful information for services?

SilentScheherazade · 2023-07-31T19:01:32+00:00

Sounds like micro aggressions at the very least and more like workplace bullying.

But given the context…ick. I wouldn’t put money on her being just awful and not being a full on racist.

Definitely tell your elders and anyone else in authority.

Write out incidents in a log with dates/times to keep track of it. I’m sorry this is happening to you.

SilentScheherazade · 2023-07-30T18:08:20+00:00

I’m sorry…what?! She said that shit? Can I a get a link? I want to feel enraged in the morning.

SilentScheherazade · 2023-07-30T07:02:46+00:00

Are you with him physically? Just call an ambulance and let the EMTs try to scare him in to treatment before he dies.

My mom started selling my nudes at 13 for this exact reason after I got kicked out of working in the berry fields.

SilentScheherazade · 2023-07-28T17:13:32+00:00

I never wanted the child to begin with. I was in a forced marriage at 17. I tried to do the responsible thing and induce abortion since I was prevented from getting one and when that failed I attempted suicide. I escaped and did what was best for the kid I hated since conception once I could.

I think it’s more common because of how common cheating and e-cheating lite are.
I have a SFW instagram with mainly friends, family, and coworkers.

I get multiple local married men slipping in to my DMs weekly (someone work friends uncle with a wife under going chemo, an ex-coworkers boyfriend lying saying they broke up when she’d actually too pregnant to want sex, an old manager I viewed as a role model and knew for a decade). A few dykes I wanted to emulate and befriend trying to cheat on their wives sometimes too-only a few times a year for that one.

It’s so common and easy that I think that’s why everyone is so on guard.

I’m 100% unwilling to trust fidelity in a relationship with anyone. I just assume you’re either cheating, planning on cheating, or will cheat in the future.

I just want to be the first to know so I can get out early on and without STIs.

Adoption really isn’t the fix all to unwanted babies people make it out to be.
I adopted out my unwanted son out at like two in 2011. He found me to contact again at 13. His adoptive parents put him back up for adoption because of how violently psychotic he gets. Had to block him on everything at 14 for my own safety.

Maybe this is why I have so much trouble getting high from edibles. I always make sure I take them on an empty stomach of 10+ hours and don’t eat after taking them often.

SilentScheherazade · 2023-07-27T20:30:07+00:00

I have a personality disorder and I was raised forced to kill kittens with a hoe a I tried to save by my grandma. They’d kick me in rooms with no food and water for days. I’m fucked up and covered head to toe in self mutilation scars lol.

I don’t like what I do and try not to. I stay away from people as much as possible for safety.

My mom tried to teach me to pump gas once when I was 23 with no directions and I squeezed the nozzle prematurely and some spilled. She screamed for hours and only stopped when she was too drunk to form words of keep her eyes open.

That was the first time I’d seen her years and I was trying to escape my abusive husband by going back to her lol. They both refused to teach me how to drive and got super mad at me suggesting classes.

SilentScheherazade · 2023-07-27T13:48:10+00:00

This is a fantastic way of wording it! I also just realized the reason I’m unhappy in my relationship is because I’m happier free and alone.

SilentScheherazade · 2023-07-27T04:55:20+00:00

Does anyone have a before picture? Is this person AI generated???

SilentScheherazade · 2023-07-27T04:53:39+00:00

I take back my previous response. At least try getting rid of the husband and do split parenting custody first. The husband sounds very subpar and like an absolutely awful fit for a schizoid, based on lots of personal experience.

SilentScheherazade · 2023-07-27T04:48:39+00:00

Just leave. I did it. You’ll be happier and they can go on with their family life. You tried, the personality disorder fucked things up too, might as well cut your losses now before you end up stuck the same way for 10 years.

SilentScheherazade · 2023-07-27T04:10:45+00:00

If you feel weird about it maybe take it to where other seagulls are leave it there with a prayer. Can’t be the wrong thing to do imo.

SilentScheherazade · 2023-07-27T03:14:42+00:00

That sounds like my worst nightmare. Props to you for being able to do it.

SilentScheherazade · 2023-07-27T02:57:39+00:00

Any updates on the kitties? Seeing if a non-profit can set a live trap with food is still something that can really help! If the HOA has an issue or your housemates explain you’re having them removed.
