Personal account that does not represent any government or departmental policies. The bad takes are all my own, but I'm trying to get educated by just watching and listening to those who live their truths daily.

Indian, when used by a non-Native to describe us, is derogatory. Many of consider it to be a contextual slur.

WE will it: Indian Country, Indian hospital, when referring to ourselves and others Natives. But no one else should be using it to describe us!

Okay so it's time to start a blog. No one outside of Brazil is talking about the other reasons why Indigenous people occupied the Blue Zone of COP30 Such as, Marco Temporal, the Devastation Bill, and Helder Barbalho selling out the Amazon in favor of agribusiness. I'm getting really mad about that.

I have already ended up in a argument today with someone saying I shouldn't assume it was a far-right fire attack on an IPAS centre (following a number of far-right fire attacks on IPAS centres) because it was probably "kids messing with fireworks" so this is worth hammering home I think

The already narrow area of Gaza has now shrunk to about a third of its original size.
Today, tanks reached deep into Jabalia camp unexpectedly the yellow line on the map has become faint and constantly shifting.

Every now and then, I remember one of the events we went through during the genocide
and I sit there asking myself, did that really happen to us?
How did we keep going?
And how did the world just keep going too?

November is Native American Heritage Month, and I’m honored to represent a state with such a rich history influenced by indigenous communities. Arizona’s 22 federally-recognized tribes each bring unique contributions to our culture, and our state wouldn’t be the same without them.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

The massacres stopped after 14 hours we survived again, though I no longer know how many times. I lost count long ago.

It’s two in the morning. My sister screams a missile missed us this time, but hit our neighbors’ tent.
