And one last one I find especially important to share online.
"On the flip side, I’m sure no one disagrees that people who are both objectively lying about their Native identity and profiting from it must be checked. The problem is that what has emerged to counteract the fraud are individuals and small groups who operate under the non-rules of vigilante justice. Social media takedowns, internet trolling, harassment both online and in the real world—all are among their frustrating and terrifying tactics. Tactics, I should mention, they also use on people whose Native identity should never be questioned. Many times, this work is done under the pretext of exposing “pretendians”—as in “pretend Indians.” Every time a new pretendian is unmasked to the public, I feel a little gurgle in my stomach. Will I be next? And which part of my identity will serve as the tipping point? The fact that I’ve never danced in a powwow? The fact that my Tribe, thanks to a combination of racism and political injustice, has yet to be fully federally recognized? That my eyes are this mix of green and brown that my dad always called dirty hazel?"

These two are directly related, and absolutely staggering.
"In that treaty, the U.S. government shamelessly stole fifty million acres of land belonging to the Sauk and Fox people, agreeing to give them a “present” of $2,234.50 in goods and a payment of $1,000 per year.32 Let’s imagine that, instead, the United States paid the Sauk and Fox people the full amount their land was worth. Let’s call that amount $2 per acre—that was, after all, the minimum value of the land as spelled out in the Harrison Land Act of 1800.33 At $2 per acre, a fifty-million-acre plot of land would have been valued at $100 million." "We could imagine the Sauk and Fox people maintaining their traditional homelands today, those fifty million acres still fully in their control. Let’s call the fair and reasonable value of that land $6,250 per acre, the average value of farmland across Illinois, Missouri, and Wisconsin, where the Sauk and Fox people traditionally lived.34 At $6,250 per acre, the value of a fifty-million-acre plot of land is beyond what a simple calculator can compute. It’s in the neighborhood of $312 trillion."

Y'know what? I'm gonna post just a couple of my highlights to share since I know most people seeing this won't, in fact, pick up the book.

I won't add much, so I definitely encourage reading just these couple to think on for a little bit.
"And I know that blood cannot be divided like an apple—clean cut and cored, separate and distinct pieces of a whole. But this fallacy—the idea of blood being divided into fractions—is exactly how the United States has long governed Native identity." "I couldn’t shake the feeling that, at least in the United States, this is unique to Native people. That we, uniquely, have been forced into a corner of needing to constantly prove our identities to ourselves and others, to carry around a card in our wallet that provides not just validation but also protection from those who’d like us to believe we’re not Indian enough." "As of 2024, there are 347 federally recognized Native American Tribes in the forty-eight contiguous United States, and the mantra that’s often repeated when it comes to issues in Indian Country is that every Tribe is different. Treating “Native America” as a monolith is a bit like claiming interest in “Asian culture.” There isn’t just one."

I know I'm technically a day late in posting this now, but for Indigenous People's Day I recommend everyone read "The Indian Card: Who Gets to Be Native in America" by Carrie Lowry Schuettpelz. Absolute eye-opener on things like blood quantum, tribal registry, belonging, etc.

#IndigenousPeoplesDay
The cover for "The Indian Card: Who Gets to be Native in America" by Carrie Lowry Schuettpelz. The background is a faded, old historical record of some identity document, with a bright central graphic over it that looks like a lightly abstract mix between a flower motif and a burning flame.

Hi, I'm Felix! I'm mixed Mohawk (Kanien'kehá:ka) and two spirit.

I don't currently have a shop, but my husband and I are running a queer historical zine over at @taplingzines.bsky.social and would love more Indigenous artists to apply!!
A digital art piece of Gabriel, an original character. He is a genderfluid (but fairly masc-presenting here) skinny Filipino in his early 20s. He has curly hair and freckles all over his body, and is sits in front of a lightly graffitied wall holding a vape with bright purple nails on his hand. His tshirt says, "Yes, I'm bi (Bible Lover). And also bisexual." A digital painting of a fox on a grassy hill, surrounded by aurora borealis which tints the fox in a reddish purple and bright green. There is a very faint Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) flag in the background. A digital illustration of two of my characters, Imani and Mona, praying. They are in a mosque, kneeling side by side. Imani is a Black woman dressed in a long skirt and hijab, with a modest clothing style mostly in black and dark magenta. Beside her is her toddler daughter, Mona, who wears colorful, mismatched clothing, her curly hair pulled back into pigtails. She has her hands over her face as she prays, with Imani's hands open in front of her in a du'a position. A digital illustration of a toddler girl with green hair and small antlers on her head. She has medium-brown skin and freckles, and her ears are pointed in an elven shape. She wears a blue dress with pink stars and a pink collar. Her antlers have small vines wrapped around them, seemingly growing out of her head as well, and there are also small pink flowers. She is playing with one ear as a shy fidget.

Like. Do you know how frustrating this is 🧍‍♂️

Even the first guy I spoke to on the phone (when our first email ALSO didn't send) admitted he had no idea why this even happened. And now it's happening AGAIN? Hello??

A fake screenshot from the game Hades 2 with my OC Kokabiel, titled "Keeper of the Stars." The textbox reads, "No, no, you don't understand. She's the moon. I'm the stars. There's a big difference, actually." On the left is a male character in a rather feminine outfit with short shorts and a crop top with long flowy sleeves. The outfit is blue and gold with stars across it and a sun motif on the chest. The sleeves have zodiac constellation patterns. The character has shoulder-length blue hair and small pink wings on his head.

Since you already stole the twins and Gabriel, how aboouutt...

Ousmane is a bisexual, polyamorous Tuareg (Malian/Algerian) man, and Oti is Kenyan and super pansexual (or bi I guess since that's the joke needed for his shirt, lmao).

They've been sort of an on-and-off "couple" for years lol
A digital illustration of my character Ousmane. He is an Afro-Arab man in his mid-30s, with short, curly black hair and short facial hair. He's wearing a dark blue suit and reddish-orange tie, and has one diamond earring in. The background imitates colorful Islamic-style geometric patterns often found in mosques. A digital art piece of a Black man taking a selfie with his phone. His tank top says "Biflexual" with two flexing arm emojis colored as the bisexual flag. He has his hair in cornrows and has short facial hair. His phone case is purple with a Kuromi sticker partially covered by his hand.

I draw lots of diverse characters getting it on! 🫡 And I'm definitely inspired to draw a lot more lately!

(Also my husband and I are running a queer zine too if people are interested in that! Our next one will likely be NSFW to combat censorship even more if this first one is successful!)
A digital art piece of two of my OCs, Lucas and Nzuzi, having sex. Lucas, a fairly skinny white boy in his 20s with curly blond hair, is on his knees, holding Nzuzi up by the hips as he penetrates him. Nzuzi, an extremely skinny Black boy, also in his 20s, with his hair in long dreadlocks, is resting on his shoulders, face up, cumming on his own stomach. Nzuzi has gold eye makeup, red lipstick, and gold jewelry including nipple piercings. He also has a visible scar on one arm and an ICD device on his chest. Digital art of my OCs, Marion and Ousmane, having sex. Marion is a fat white woman with wavy dirty blonde hair. She is riding on top of Ousmane, leaning back with her hands supporting herself. (Based on the way she's sitting, he's definitely in her ass.) Ousmane is an Afro-Arab man with short-cropped hair and short facial hair. His visible leg is heavily marked with scars, skin grafts, and skin contractures, along with a small section of the same on his arm. He is also missing two toes and does not have toenails. He's gazing lovingly at Marion's crotch while she puts on a show for him, her cheeks flushed bright red. A digital illustration of my OCs Mila and Nsimba having sex. Mila is a white trans girl with medium-length brown hair and a slightly curvy body. Nsimba is a Black man with his hair in purple and black twists, and heavy scarring on his face including over his eyes. He holds her waist with one hand while she rides him. A digital illustration of my two OCs, Nico and Gabriel, having sex. Nico is a Korean-Filipino trans man with black hair in an almost bowl cut, and Gabriel is a Filipino genderfluid person, though fairly masculine presenting, with wavy brown hair and a ton of freckles all over his body. He has one of Nico's legs propped up on Gabriel's shoulder as they enter him. Behind them is a frosted window that looks out on two palm trees.

Have YOU sent in a support ticket about the new moderation policies yet today? 🗣️

Several points to make:
1. Art shouldn't be censored
2. It's difficult to *show* consent in a drawing
3. Banning means it will still be posted, but unlabeled
4. Bsky automod is VERY unreliable + will ban incorrectly

I'm sharing four because I can NOT decide. I have such a collection of stupid shitposts that make me laugh
Text post reading: "I asked the bartender for a coffee with no milk and he said we're out of no milk and gave me a cup full of milk." Text post reading "I'm god's weakest faggot." Someone replies, "I'm god's strongest tranny, let's team up. What if we called ourselves team rocket." A Tumblr ask "Call him Jesus the way I make him bred and whine." OP replies "Help." A user called 'Greek Orthodox Priest' replies "Call me holy trinity the way I father a son in his hole and ghost." They then reply to themself with "I have been hacked." Text post: "Scurvy has got to be one of the biggest disease/treatment coolness gaps of all time. Like yeah too much time at sea will afflict you with a curse where your body starts unravelling and old wounds come back to haunt you like a vengeful ghost. Unless (one finger up emoji to symbolize a pause) ...you eat a lemon."

Artists! QRT with your valuable GOLD

This is such a highly specific QRT train but Nzuzi and all his gold jewelry is perfect for it ✨
A digital illustration of a young Black man posing on a bed, my character Nzuzi. The image is cropped at his ribs, and he wears a light blue shirt which he's pulled up to reveal his chest. He has dreadlocks that fall over the purple pillow, golden hair jewelry, and reddish-orange lip gloss. He has golden nipple piercings and a visible ICD implant on his chest.

Digital art of my two OCs, identical twins Nzuzi and Nsimba. Both are young Black men, cutely posing for a selfie. Nsimba, in the front, has part of his face cut off and a lot of the rest covered by his hair, which is in pink-ombre twists. His face underneath is heavily scarred. Nzuzi behind him poses with a peace sign, his hair in long dreadlocks which are mostly tied back, and he has small gold jewelry throughout. Nzuzi looks much more feminine overall. They wear matching pajama shirts in similarly-toned blue and purple. A digital illustration of my character Ousmane.

He has green fluff, his curly brown highlighted hair sticking out from under the fluff, and freckles all over the exposed 'skin' parts. He also has an embroidered biohazard symbol over his heart, in reference to Gabriel's tattoo he gets in his late 20s.
