and then there was allegedly figure skating but you didn't show it to me

THAT BEING SAID, I'D HAVE HAD MORE ACTUAL HOCKEY IN MY SHOW. Give me the ace spectrum hockey too, not just the gayyyyy

the bus is not nice with all its jostling

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉eeeeeeeee!

every faker fucking around with who they think they might convincingly be at the cost of everyone else is a thief. i can forgive a thief that can work to make right and grow as a person.

That's not TK. Thomas King does not bow out honourably, but is instead a thief tipping his hat. Just like Buffy.

but who will know how to conduct a funeral potlatch? who knows the right medicines for when someone is sick in their body or heart? who knows the protocols for specific ceremonies? who knows the best songs and stories?

i do think, in certain ways from what i know about history, that my work is worthy of being recorded. this is what i have. this is what i made it with. that's okay for me. that's interesting and speaks to a specific kind of experience someone will want to understand more later.

it is quiet, and it is insidious; we are in the bone-crunching grip of an on-going genocide. i can lose a grant for my shit about identity crisis if it means even one more chance for someone to preserve access to something about who we REALLY fucking are.

to come in with half-baked knowledge of your own history blocks the way of people who have as recently as a single generation lost everything; those from the 60s scoop and today's on-going violence in the foster care and carceral systems

work that i would never argue to losing funding over. I want the weaver, the language speakers, the carver, the fish trap specialist, the hide tanners, the chefs and berry-pickers, fish cutting people of my nation to preserve that knowledge that maybe i don't get to have; they get the grant. period.

I respect someone hearing a family myth and then doing. their. due. diligence. BEFORE making it a part of their identity and profiting from it at the cost of the serious work of preserving family history that many Indigenous artists struggle to do with the barest of means

i don't even want to participate in most Indigenous exclusive things anymore because of shitheads like Thomas King, Joseph Boyden, Michelle Lattimer, Buffy Saint-Marie, Marjorie Beaucage, Cheyenne Turions and so, fucking many others. You make it so cheesy. You make it less.

many. such. cases. and more to come.

i don't crab rave. crab rave is for death finally taking our most vile, this is more of a soggy admittance literally 100s of thousands of dollars in grant funding later

few songs make me wanna punch a hole through the earth but this one does
