Decolonize Myself

Jeremy Andrew Bomberry 1h It's interesting how ppl conflate Pretendianism with being "mixed." Why? I'm not sure. There could be a couple of different reasons... But having a supposed FAR DISTANT First Nations, Inuit, or Métis ancestor from 1640 in your genealogical tree... certainly does not make you a "mixed Indigenous" person. Not today, not tomorrow, NOT EVER!!

GG - MAGA isn't a movement- it's a masterclass in how billionaires spoon-feed fake news to the most under- informed people in our country. Class war cosplay keeps folks distracted while the ultra-rich run off with the loot. Slugs for salt aka MAGA. @Braddroflit BRIAN TYLER COHEN

Chance Paupanakis 19m. Exposing pretendians does not mean you don't support identity ✓ reclamation...reconnecting to your ACTUAL ancestors is great - we want more of this. But making up a whole ass lie AFTER already being exposed doesn't even make sense. People love the beads, medicines and the high cheekbones. But once the alcoholism, high mortality rates and poverty enter the picture, all of a sudden no one wants to be Indigenous...

wapanopia_ Follow Our traditions weren't erased because they were "evil." They were erased because they were powerful. Indigenous spirituality still lives, breathes, and guides us. Indigenous people had spiritual systems for thousands of years before a single Bible verse existed. We're not demonic, we're just not colonized.

Anthony Melting Tallow 3h. The impossible contradiction Native people are trapped in, Be radical. Risk everything. Confront constantly. While many of us are, barely housed or, not, burnt out, dealing with addictions, our own or others', parenting with no safety net, estranged from family, reconnecting without guidance, traumatically conflict avoidant 'cause conflict was never safe. You can't build a revolution on nervous systems that are still in survival mode. That's not cowardice. Not an excuse, not a failure. That's biology 'n history. I'm here with you in this. You don't have to figure it out alone.

Anthony Melting Tallow Surviving colonization is political work. Healing nervous systems is resistance. Feeding kids, staying housed, staying sober, staying alive, none of that is a failure of imagination or courage. Anthony Melting Tallow Lanes of resistance, u don't have to do everything. Not everyone is the frontline warrior. Some are caregivers, meme makers, cooks, researchers, quiet aunties who slide you gas money.

Anthony Melting Tallow You are allowed to say: "I can't carry everything." The ancestors didn't expect perfection. Their love for you was always in your belonging and in your continuance.
