I hit the ‘Submit’ button. At 5:36 PM. Even if I don’t get this fellowship, I am kind of proud of myself. I haven’t done anything like this for ME, for several years. Now the Universe has it, so I won’t think on it anymore. 🙏🏾👏🏾

The world’s on fire, but graduates are walking across stages throughout Indian Country, and it’s a balm for the spirit. 🫶🏾 Congratulations, graduates. 🎓

Federal workers SAVE the government money, that’s why firing them is COSTING the government money. This isn’t difficult.

If I can’t text my Chinese takeout order to you without any other context, and you don’t immediately know it’s a food emergency, then we prolly aren’t as close as you thought. 💅🏽

Noem leaving an expensive purse on the ground with $3,000 in it, and days later, it’s pinned on an “illegal immigrant” - yeah that doesn’t seem at all suspicious. Not at all. 🙄

The way God shows up in my life - quietly, encouragingly, faithfully, in small, almost imperceptible ways, and then in enormous, resounding ways. I am so grateful.

I wanna know the backstory on the Chahta hunters in ‘Sinners’. Gimme that movie next. ‘Sinners’ was sooooo doooooope. NOT a kids movie, be forewarned! But super good. 😊

In the 15 years I’ve worked in the entertainment industry, I’ve never been able to have a big in person screening of my work for the region that raised me. Screening a film at @siffnews.bsky.social has been a huge goal of mine and I’m truly happy that Pow! is the project that got me there!

I have my protein iced coffee and I’m ready for whatever fresh hell is happening today. 😉

Our angel girl would have been 22 today. 🎂 Seven years since she went to the Other Side Camp. I miss you so, my little heart. ❤️

Much of philanthropy has become one more arm of capitalism’s monster, but having worked with many nonprofit groups and on their boards, I also know there are many, many people who still believe in giving for the good of all. Coming from what might be considered a ‘vulnerable’ population - I need

“Don’t lose relationships over elections” - nahhhhh. This was a conscious choice. This was people choosing hatred over all the evidence; the guilty verdicts, the history of racism, sexism, SA, greed and lying. This was not of my doing, if my consequences are to remove that person from my life.

If Trump is 6’3”, I’m 5’1”. 🙄

I'm tired of hearing "we need to start somewhere" from people who ignore existing movements and refuse to learn from the history and veterans of the struggle. We already started. We don't need to "start somewhere" multiple times a year because you just discovered activism. Start by learning.

On the fascism of our new elites — amplifying social tensions and unleashing cataclysmic outcomes — the state of disaster they hasten/applaud, while insulating themselves from the effects. Profits and power for the billionaires. Consequences for the little people.

Hi. 😊

I had a feller I was talking to, mention that we’d “make a great power couple”. Instant ick. I am not looking for someone who wants to add me to their personal brand. 🥴 Meh.

Some day he’ll be drooling on himself in some aged living center, blathering away to an empty room and living in his delusions.

Diversity didn’t crash the stock market. Equity didn’t crash the stock market. Inclusion didn’t crash the stock market. Immigrants didn’t crash the stock market. Trans people didn’t crash the stock market.

Not even the kool-aid. 🙈

I’m kind of ready for a pretty maxi dress and sandals and a renaissance faire or a flea market or something.

The B gates at Minneapolis airport are a bit of a gulag. 😳 Barely anyone here, no food anywhere, construction everywhere. Pretty sure I heard an owl hooting. 💀

I have not published health research for probably about 10 years, so this one is special to me. It’s live! Please read and share.

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

Manifesting your dreams through small daily action is kind of the positive version of “Fuck around and find out”. 😉

Penguins/Orcas 2028. ✊🏾

😂😂😂😂

An elder in 2078: “And that, class, is how the Great Penguin Uprising began and the empire fell…” 🐧 ✊🏾

Between federal and tribal cuts, we are having to be very cautious with our dollars. I can’t pretend that everything is going to be ok, I can just promise that we are fighting like hell for our TCUs. Thanks to Inside Higher Ed for this piece. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

Sincere self reflection is a divine form of universal love.

This ain’t even my language, it was shoved down my throat and I mastered it anyway, so I will misuse this shit as I please.

Please share and give if you can

Yolanda Saldívar denied parole. Alexa, play ‘Como la Flor’.

First of all, Sissy Space-X tho. 😂🤣 Second - this gotta be illegal, the blatant purchase of an election.

Letskoooooooo!!
