Another environmental catastrophe caused by Russians east of Crimea, after one of their decaying oil tankers broke apart on high seas 2 days ago, 35km of pristine coastline has been contaminated in true Russian style.
And these tankers are now all over the world.

I've said it before, but the influence reading Chomsky had on me when I was young was to encourage me not to go into linguistics, which seemed dehumanizing and boring, but rather to follow the more interesting path of linguistic anthropology--honestly, Chomsky or Keith Basso?

This weekend's read. After "Flyboys" I haven't been eager to return to the horrors of WWII in the Pacific but this memoir conveys so much beyond the relevance of the Code Talkers to the war. Told through the lens of being Navajo, Chester's story is amplified beautifully. #booksky 💙📚

In July, Navajo President deployed tribal police to stop uranium ore being transported through Navajo. I wrote a few articles on it and this is my latest from October.
This is on Gov. Katie Hobbs asking the U.S. Forest Service to review operations at the Pinyon Plain Mine near the Grand Canyon.

Speaking of Oklahoma’s education system being terrible. Here is a February article of mine on how Navajo leadership responded to ignorant statements made by the Oklahoma gov.
I used this as an example of misinformation sparking stereotypes for a high school class presentation I did last week.

Lovely. It definitely has a lot of sports movie clichés, but they're the really good sports movie clichés, the ones you've seen done before but you always have a smile on your face when you see them pop up. This is a film brimming with love for the game and a deep-rooted love for the Navajo Nation.

My cousin sister passed away from COVID in 2021.
I, as a reporter, reported everyday for about 2 years (on Twitter,ironically) the numbers of those who had COVID and those who died from it on the Navajo Nation. Not to mention writing about it every week for the Navajo Times.
Screw you, Elon!

Elon Musk just called the COVID-19 pandemic that killed at least 1.4 million Americans a “scamdemic.”
My dad died during the pandemic; we weren't able to visit him in the hospital because of it. Every aspect of that horrible tragedy was real. And exacerbated by Musk’s co-POTUS.
I’m seeing red. 😡

My parents are fluent Navajo speakers, that’s how they’ve always spoken to one another. My siblings and I aren’t fluent because like my dad said he wanted us to succeed in life and that meant only speaking English, of course this is the case for many of us non fluent Navajos. It’s not an excuse.
