if you are a rule-follower who knows what's going on in your workplace or elsewhere in your life is deeply wrong but finds your social conditioning getting in the way of your desire to step out of line and make the ethical choice, I would be happy to talk you through those feelings nonjudgmentally!

Grow up hooded towels would rule. ESP as someone with long hair.

The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.

And always too small for hoodies of bath towels to go straight through.

Jackson also invoked pseudoarchaeological moundbuilder myths to justify this. He said that Indigenous people did not build mounds, but that mounds had been built by a prior "once powerful race" (guess who). Then it was argued Indigenous people had no claim to the land, but white settlers did.

She married a WI Oneida man, surname Webster, and lived most of her adult married life in the WI Rapids area. She raised her maternal half brother, Archie Arthur Elk’s son, Emanuel (Elk) Webster. I believe in her elite elder life, she lived in MKE until her passing. She never had children.

A picture of two HoocΔ…k women. The woman on the left is HoocΔ…k and Black. Both women wear long, multi-strand, beaded necklaces and blankets around their shoulders. They both have calm, non-smiling expressions.

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say β€œYou know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

I’m HoocΔ…k and Stockbridge Munsee and live in Madison, WI. I’m learning my language and work in politics. I work to get Native people involved and engaged. Our community here in Teejop is intertribal and diverse. We used to be a lot closer knit, and there are a lot of us working to get back there

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.
