As a Navajo, I think weavers should use the whirling long design as protest until there is peace in Israel.

Since you’re Navajo that’s an idea you should definitely do. Do you know how to weave? Are you planning to weave so you can incorporate your culture into your protest?

@@loveplaymeow fuck no only the berry pickers are weavers. I’m my family’s war chief. The only other family trade I can take up is a hatałii and I’m not patient or compromising enough for that.
