Had the honor of speaking at DesignUp last week and I have to say I was heartened by how many people took the Siksika notion that we are all born niita'pitapi (that is to say worthy of love and respect) to heart.

This week's WHITE MEAT movie recommendation is WHEN EVIL LURKS, which is one of the scariest goddam movies I've ever seen. www.imdb.com/title/tt1630...
So there's this dude in the foreground with his eye closed and a bloody hand is coming in from offscreen holding his head while two figures in the background look on and it's all sorts of NOPE!

The administration's attempt to "de-woke" our national history sites means that the names of enslaved people engraved at The President's House in Philly are in danger of being erased so we put them in the credits for WHITE MEAT: APPETIZER (and the names of slaver presidents just for good measure).
David Dylan Thomas stands in front of a large stone slab with the names of enslaved people engraved on it. Credits from a film reading "People enslaved in George Washington's Philadelphia home: Moll, Christopher Sheels, Richmond, Giles, Austin, Paris, Joe, Hercules, Ona Judge" Credits from a film reading "Presidents who owned human beings: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James K. Polk, Zachary Taylor, Andrew Johnson, Ulysees S. Grant"
