I live with the Lands of the Dakota and Anishinaabe people.
I come from a line of settlers. I am a student of unlearning.
Thank you. The rest of us need to fall in line behind Native leadership. ❤️
Native people will NEVER stop fighting for our future - and yours. As long as the tree stands, as long as the fish swim, as long as the bear climbs. We are *here* protecting & fighting for each and every one of you, even with the harm your ancestors did or even you do - consciously or unconsciously.

Life feels heavy often these days but I am always amazed at our relatives when there is a change to their ecosystem.

Today we found an old beaver house far from the water...likely built during flooding. It was huge! We could go inside it, all 5 of us!

What could we build during this disaster?

We have been without a representative and now they are making it difficult to do our special election. Please contact the county to encourage them to allow for equitable access to voting!
Please contact the County to let them know how important it is to you that voters in 40B have equitable access to early voting in our area.

Just finished To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose.

This was an amazing Indiginous take on a dragon academy story. I loved the world building, calls out against colonization, and the dragons! The language in this book was also top notch, I loved how it was written.

You should contact your elected officials when the stakes are high, whether you’re for or against the specific issue/vote.

They should hear from us when they need to do better AND when we want to encourage them to keep fighting for what we care about.

What act of resistance are you embracing today?

I am reaching out to the relationships I am developing. It can be easy feel lonely in these moments and I need reminders of how strong and aligned we are.

We have always been stronger together.

I’ve compiled a NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT starter pack which includes the contributors who have a Bluesky account so far. 🙂

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.
