Hi all, I have 2 feeds for Indigenous people & topics - #Indigenous Redsky & #MMIWG Sadly, bots were interfering with the content (Shame on them. On an MMIWG feed? Really?) I've cleaned it up, the feeds are ours again. If you aren't on the feed but want to be, here's how. youtu.be/HY7zqVMjt8g?...

Beautiful write up and it brings up many emotions of anger, resentment, disappointment ... but also community, acceptance, hope ... Chi-Meegwetch for this perspective of these commemorations. Now I have to visit the tour myself some day.

If you are going out today - grab that orange shirt even if you are just hitting the corner store or going for a walk. It really means something to see people -especially non-Indigenous people wearing them - #indigenous #orangeshirt #reconciliation

I think the machete is a metaphor for how you like to 'cut down to the core of the stories you write' .... or it might mean you'd make a great character in a Tarantino movie.

For fun I asked #ChatGPT to guess what I look like. I've never uploaded a pic. It assumed brown eyes (safe bet, 80% of people have them). I told it my eyes are gray, then I asked it to draw me. Also close… except for some reason every picture has me holding a machete... #AI #AIart
