This is a constant in Indigenous environmental discourse and studies—the need to have to legitimize our rights and obligations through dominant/Western frameworks. Indigenous knowledge systems should stand on their own, and be recognized as such.

Blocked JD Vance just now, how was your day?

If you think trans activists went too far and Self ID was a mistake... If you think we should go back to the old days and it should be way harder for people to transition... ....you're saying I never should have transitioned. That I should have withered in the closet.

Hoocąk class moar; now we are reading a story, & I feel such a sense of victory because *I can make sense of it* ... All those sounds on the page are suddenly resolving into meaning. It's as if I'm learning to read again ❤️

Hoocąk class, we're saying what we had for breakfast. Let's be real, I'm always gonna confuse wanoicge (animal) and wanįkiicge (bird egg)... 4eva gonna be eating animals over easy

Call your senators moar, the sale of our public lands is another wrong ass aspect of the Big Brutal Bill. I’ve got their numbers in my contacts now, I do my calls during dog walks

I just found out I’ll be appearing on CBC Radio in the Yukon today to talk about colonization in outer space and Indigenous responses! If you’re keen to listen, sounds like I’ll be on around noon Pacific!

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

You know what’s awesome? Having Juneteenth to celebrate is awesome ❤️❤️❤️

At last it can be told. My novel Blackheart Man shares the shortlist for the Ursula K Le Guin Prize with some other intriguing titles, and I am so pleased! www.ursulakleguin.com/prize25

#SnortLaughoftheDayAward “Yep, all packed”

Waaaaiiiit which branch of the gov will control the Golden Share of Nippon Steel? I assume exec? I mean I have a ton of concerns about any deal done by such an untrustworthy administration

Are #TinyPrideJoys a thing?

Made my calls (again), telling my legislators that we should not be dragged into a war we don't want for a rapture we don't believe in

Huckabee’s full-on death cult madness. Have confirmed before reposting. Alt text in OG post. We can use our voices & call our Reps & Senators saying we support the Massie-Khanna War Powers Resolution that would limit US involvement, Senate version is Kaine War Powers Resolution. Tell em to hurry.

Ooh, am gonna check this one out

So shocked that the US & UK made a tariff deal on steel & aluminum but did NOTHING about the ridiculous British pronunciation of the word aluminum

Just did my Senate calls against the Big Brutal Bill, & added one to my Rep thanking him for voting against it twice in the House Also thanked & checked up on both Sen Baldwin, Rep Pocan, & their staffs: Their names were among the 11 WI lawmakers on the MN shooter’s list

We gotta call, call, call about the Big Brutal Bill. No tax cuts till budget balanced. No cuts to green measures till climate safe. No cuts to Medicaid providers who offer abortion services. No cuts to Medicaid at all.

Today’s brief political whinge: The hubris of anyone in leadership who’s trying to bring about the Rapture If I were your god I would be pissed as hell to find you causing suffering to millions & trashing my creation just cuz you thought you knew best what I wanted

I commented on the upcoming CDC ACIP meeting about vaccines & you can too. There are not a lot of comments on there yet! Don’t be afraid of all the tips & instructions, you can get in & get out in 5 min or less, & this is YOUR GOVERNMENT, use it, take it back. www.regulations.gov/document/CDC...

#ResistanceAction Please be sure to comment on CDC vaccine recs!

#Tinyjoys Wild strawberries in our garden The Cub has been out there eating them for ages & brought some to Tall Lawyer for Father’s Day

Cool discovery, cool collaboration with Menominee Nation. More notes for a hugely revised history of Turtle Island, & for the story of what modern Indigenous are reclaiming, seed by seed.
