This is why you shouldn't use #sage unless you're Indigenous, it is a direct part of your practice, and you know your source. Using it otherwise is participating in both cultural exploitation and capitalist extraction and exploitation.

If you just want a good smell, use an oil diffuser or air freshener or something, not a stolen sacred plant.

@IronCurtain @jtmoehart7 #IndigenousAllyMastodon :) though there’s been issues raised with the use of the word “ally” itself as it is awkward at best and self-aggrandizing at worst, it’s currently our best substitute. Although #RepentingColonizer could be better?
