I am an indigenous disabled woman. I love animals of all kinds. I'm here to learn, ask questions, give my real world experience and education. I am homebound this is my only way of connecting with a community. I do speak my mind unapologetically

It’s pretty wild to watch a governor in a wheelchair trying to take away accommodations for disabilities…

Lacrosse
Originally #stickball #lacrosse was played by #tribes in #NorthAmerica. The #Algonquian people were the first to play the game. French #missionaries coined "lacrosse" in the 1630s. #indigisky #edusky #chickasawnation

#Sports are connected to #Indigenous #religious, #political, & #communal practices. Some #NativeAmericans played to prepare their #warriors for #combat & others just participated for religious reasons or #recreation

The irresponsible use of antibiotics in animal agriculture strongly promotes mutation 🦠 It’s prone to create resistant strains against which we’ll have no protection 🛡️❌ In a post antibiotic era a dental procedure will be life threatening 🦷

[Photo] A hand holds a circular embroidery hoop with pink fabric stretched inside. The embroidery features the phrase “what doesn’t kill you mutates and tries again” stitched in black thread around the edge. In the center, there are four embroidered depictions of microorganisms: a red bacterium with flagella, a black and white bacteriophage with a geometric head and spider-like legs, a green bubbly rod-shaped bacterium, and a purple and beige amoeba-like organism with a blue nucleus. The embroidery is detailed and colorful.
