anyone happen to know what happened to The NW Network website? it's offline. #LGBT #trans hashtags hopefully for visibility

if tumblr really goes I guess I'll have to be here more often huh

took a big leap (for me) creatively recently, and if it works out it'll be a literal childhood dream come true 👀

afternoons like this where I really miss Kade Ferris.

the absolute hardest part about reconnecting is when you *know* who your people are and you reach out over and over again, all the time, for years and you're flat out ignored. Literally left on read. I've been doing this seriously since at least 2018 and after years of this it's disheartening.

QTP with powerful women💪

I wonder if they have a CBA and, if they do, if it's similar to the one I had in state government. Probationary employees aren't always beholden to the protection of a bargaining agreement and can be terminated immediately under the one I had a few years ago.

you'd think a site with stupidly expensive membership would have reliable servers but error messages like this happen on a frequent basis. as in multiple times a day and every single time I use the site. #genealogy

crying with laughter at the replies to this

I really gotta stop making people mad enough to curse me online. Last year a Jets fan did this to me due to football banter and it was the worst year of my life

5calls results 1. DC and local office busy and/or full voice mail 2. DC and local office busy signal 3. Got through to DC live rep on other line and left a message (and also thanked the gentleman who answered the phone for his work)

torn in two directions of like "well if it's going where I think it's going I'm digging in with my fucking teeth" and like, frantically trying to see if we need to seriously contemplate getting out

man it's already difficult enough when you have actual ancestry but fall short of enrollment requirements due to a nation's constitution so why phrase it like it's an easy thing to do

I know we're so used to social media sites censoring and shadowbanning but are we seriously not allowed to just type the word pornography as it appears, especially about a bill that is trying to ban it this is a real question. does bsky also do the thing or can we just say porno

unshakable dread for the coming days. can't tell if the big thing that feels like it's about to happen is just the slow creep of fascism or if it's going to be a swift, immediate Big Thing in 2020 i remember posting "this time it feels different" just before the protests started same feeling rn

accidentally went on a huge rant on tumblr about how people get fucked when it comes to their glasses cost when they have medicare advantage plans tl;dr the coverages are bad and many people can't afford better glasses even if they need it

the wider implications should not just upset people, but terrify them.

#Lancer has a GRIP on me

finding myself once again stuck at work after receiving some rather significant genealogy updates that I desperately want to research

Support #Native communities today: *Help A Yurok Women’s Shelter *Food 4 Maui Food Bank/Yurok Elders *Xmas Gifts 4 Native Kids/Elders🎄(Yes, now!) *Books 4 rez schools friendsofpineridgereservation.org/sitemap

Is this too big of a cat bed

me starting genealogy and cataloging the genetic matches: ah... I probably won't find many cousins on this branch. That's a shame. me now: HELLO. WHERE ARE YOU ALL COMING FROM??? CAN YOU PLEASE SLOW DOWN--

hard part about genealogy sometimes is sending off emails and just waiting to see if you even get a response

are you contemplating writing something like an entire dissertation that triangulates the family trees of relatives to propose which ancestral village your maternal line is descended from or are you normal

Remembering our cousin Kade Ferris, who passed in November of last year. He was a wonderful storyteller and historian with so much knowledge of our people and culture. Here is a link to his Dibaajimowin blog site: www.dibaajimowin.com/all-news #Indigenous #Ojibwe #Metis

My half-elf bard in Pathfinder, Khylas. He has no problems at all :) #pathfinder #ttrpg #sketch #pathfinder1e

should make an intro post -beckham, or bek. either one is okay! -white / Yurok (Gold Bluff) / Métis (Red River) / always trying to repair my connections -digital illustrator -also really into TTRPG (currently playing Lancer, Pathfinder 1e, and DnD 5e), genealogy, music, writing

While other communities are getting hyperspecific on their starter packs, our #NativeSky community is still pretty small. But everyone here is worth a follow! go.bsky.app/DsSRFQr

watched Who's Afraid of Modern Art last night and today I'm thinking about AI art and I feel like these two things can relate. Essentially the video essay was talking about the link with fascism and attempts to label modern art as degenerate, and that commercially palatable media +

helps me make sense of the world and myself

I'm doing life on hard mode by dropping a song the same day as Linkin Park's album and posting this at midnight but hey let's test this algorithm!!!!!! My new song is called "Breathe You In" 💕 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMVM...

(Ambition: Nemesis Spoilers #fallenlondon ) - - - - Digital painting I did in 2020 of one of two potential fates for Mr. Cups. I'm still pretty happy with how this came out. #digitalart #digitalpainting #horror #mrcups

(taps mic) testing, testing illustration from earlier this year that I never finished of my Lancer pilot, Luis. The purple-blue tones in his face are fully intentional. #art #digitalart #lancerrpg #ttrpg #illustration

pssspspsssp I want to follow more people so I'm hoping these can get a bit of traction #lancerttrpg #ttrpg #digitalart #paganism #genealogy #illustration #indigenous

is it cringe to just post some tags to try to find new people to follow?? uhh

I guess i should probably use this more often :V

not quite sure what to do with myself here just yet
