There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

Slipped on icy stairs on Saturday night and got a minor concussion and other owies from it… I didn’t hit my head but I felt my brain get rocked from the fall, ugh. I’m all worried about the things I need to get done but I know I probably shouldn’t be on the computer. I am getting better though…

Lollll what a take

You are inspiring!

‘Solidarity is always the way forward’ In a Q&A with Prism, abolitionist organizer Kelly Hayes discusses her new anthology “Read This When Things Fall Apart,” featuring encouraging letters from movement leaders, writers, and activists

Here's my most recent interview about the book. "You’re a human being. Don’t treat yourself as disposable—that’s the logic of the deathmakers. Make yourself whole. You don’t just deserve healing and joy; you need those things. We need you here, on earth, in your community, where you belong."

October 30th: I was my cat for a karaoke event last Thursday, and did my best to honor my little buddy with facepaint, cat ears, and a cat tail, though I couldn’t capture his true beauty. #halloween

October 31st: I was a Sky Being / Star Person (with Native aesthetics) for a friend’s Inner/Outer Space themed party. I felt so beautiful and Indigenous that I thought I should dress this way more regularly. #halloween

Gotta keep life interesting! But a half day of work sounds like a good idea 🤔

Hope you feel better soon.

Ah that’s great you haven’t had COVID! That’s amazing, considering all these years and living in the big city. If it’s not as bad as the flu then it would still be worth it imo. Sorry your schedule isn’t letting you rest. :(

Obviously go with science and what you know. I had an extreme fibromyalgia reaction to one of the last Covid vaccines I had, and with how painful it was, I feel pretty hesitant now. I wish there was more informed medical care for people with fibromyalgia, neurodivergence, mast cell issues, etc.

With mast cell stuff being off, I think vaccines can be tricky with how the body can react… think it’s something to weigh alongside other risks. You might be one of the people for whom it might not be the ideal solution.

Photo of four white cards with black linework designs arranged on a light wood table.

Finally made some coloring cards pulling from my #Anishinaabe graphic set… we have 4 images in black linework: a canoe with florals holding 5 people, a backpack with cultural designs, books with cultural designs punctuated by bison bookends, and moccasins surrounded by floral designs. #ojibwe

Anishinaabe cultural references with a cottage core vibe! Original stamp designs of a rabbit, flower, and male bison, stamped in a variety of patterns on recycled paper cards and colored in with pencils. Chill repetitive art making on October 9th… #ojibwe #anishinaabe #nativeart

Autumn magic.

Bemused expression of a person wearing glasses.

Smiling or laughing while wearing glasses

I complimented a queer acquaintance on their glasses—this person always has cool glasses. They let me try on their glasses and I was absolutely surprised and delighted that they looked good on me too. This is a style I have never tried before, rimless on the top with rims on the bottom. #vooglam

Photo of a desk workspace with a black phone, a framed historic print of an Ojibwe man, an aloe plant, paper tassels with school colors, and several books about free speech on campus and due process on campus.

Came across this forgotten photo on my phone, taken at a prior workplace during a time when free speech was frankly not being protected and institutional processes were inconsistently applied. I had an image of an Ojibwe warrior on my desk to remind myself to be strong. #indigenize #resist

I’m pretty pleased with how my art is looking in these frames! They are ready to mingle at the Speaking in Tongues group art show opening this Friday, April 11, 2025, from 5-8 pm at the Alas de Agua Cultural Center, 1520 Center Drive Unit 2.

After an intense week of moving and whatnot, I am now having a case of revenge bedtime… carving out some mental space just for me because, well, work beckons tomorrow, soon to be today. Lots to do.
