I’ve been in Mexico for the last 6 days. I have a lot of take-aways from this trip, but the one most dear to my heart: the Mayan language. I hope to deepen my relationship to this place it’s people and the language in the future ❤️

So Google has accepted marching orders. Good thing I switched to Duckduckgo this past week for my browser and search.

To survive task opposition in completing assignments for school, I have to reward myself for doing little bits at time. Sometimes that looks like this: write, knit, write, knit, write, knit.

Thanks to Ontario Native Women’s Centre for hosting last nights poetry event “Strong Hands Stop Violence”. It was an empowering night and I was honoured to read amoung such talented writers and fierce survivors.

In addition to not engaging with Nazis, please stop with the cancellations of regular people who are imperfect allies or people you disagree with or who are going through complex life situations that are none of your business. Stop making an enemy out of everyone except the state.

Working on Christmas gifts. Cozy bandana cowls ❤️ I made myself a couple too, they go perfectly with my wool jacket. This yarn is buttery soft and smooth, kinda slippery to work with but feels so good on the skin!

A cloudy day is perfect for my new candles I got yesterday. Proceeds go to McMaster Indigenous Research Institute’s Prison Education Project (Walls to Bridges)

Mino Gizhep! Good morning!

Yesterday I was at Indigenous Research Day hosted by McMaster Indigenous Research Institute @ McMaster University.

I loved Biinaagami’s giant floor map! Snapped a picture of my ancestral homelands of Nbisiing ❤️

Stepan cat is my vibe when I’m forced to be in the same room as fragile settlers.

Billions of dollars in treaty and land claims settlements are being made. Any thought being put into how this money will be used to help keep our languages alive? Bueller…bueller…bueller…bueller…

Walked around in the pouring rain yesterday. Soaking in plant and insect life in California. The white Praying Mantis is apparently elderly and gonna die soon. ☔️
