I haven't been on here in a minute. I'm feeling less inclined to participate in all of the social media platforms these days.

To be Chinook is to be strong. Our traditions are timeless, and our fight for recognition is just as fierce. We carry the wisdom of our ancestors, and we fight to ensure their legacy thrives. We stand strong, and we will never stop fighting for what’s rightfully ours. #chinookjustice

Read it slowly and understand it. 😳🥺 Repost 👇🏾 👇🏾

yet if I’m predator eyes jutting forward then why do I hide my sickness, grief as surface tension at rim of eyes This $ deep cut is "seeing in stereo" by Shaw Patton! poetrycurrency.com/poem/shaw-pa...

Our journey for recognition isn't just a legal battle—it’s about protecting the heritage and traditions we’ve carried through the ages. #chinookjustice #wearestillhere

Please follow my tribe @everydaychinook.bsky.social. We are fighting to have our federal recognition restored. Our treaty was never honored, then when we finally got recognition in 2001, it was stolen from us due to lateral/political violence. Follow us as we fight for justice!

📣📣 Sound the alarm. Let's organize by city and get out in the streets before it's too late.

America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸

Just plain obsessing over the poems on the @poetrycurrency.bsky.social website 😍😍😍 Start with this one: poetrycurrency.com/poem/sadiyah... #poetry #writingsky #poetrysky

Claiming audiobooks "don't count" is ableist and stupid. Consume your content in the fashion most enjoyable and convenient. #booksky

For Booksky 📚 ✅ Bookshop.org: every purchase supports local independent bookstores. ❌ Kindle: owned by Amazon. ✅ Public Libraries: (cannot recommend this enough!!) free audiobooks, apps, media (like NYT), books, ebooks, and more.

Deleted my Goodreads account yesterday. Still trying to figure out StoryGraph, but happy to make the change!

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

I have a poem in Yellow Medicine Reviews Fall 2024 issue 🥰 #indigisky #poetrysky

How many Indigenous poetry books have you read? Here are some to check out. #indigenousbooks #bookrecommendations #poetry #booksky

The book I'm reading right now is SO GOOD - Thunder Song by Sasha LaPointe. Brings me right back to living in Western Washington. Stupid tulip festivals! #booksky #indigisky

My 2025 goals included getting 3 poems published. DONE and it's only January! Check out Muse-Pie Press' Shot Glass Journal at the end of the month!
