it’s so cool being intermediate proficiency at two languages at once. it’s so cool how my brain can only think of yiddish when i try to speak spanish and vice versa. it was definitely worth all the drugs i did to melt a bunch of holes into my brain

Lingít songs at pick up today ♥️

I love that the kids are singing in their jackets and backpacks. Culture is celebrated everyday.

Happy Indigenous people’s day! #indigenouspeoplesday

I don’t trust them. It’s too easy to make one that goes to something malicious, so I never use them if I have an option. My company’s marketing person loves them.

Western Alaska storm relief:

If you are shipping donations on Lynden (and they are taking stuff in Fairbanks to truck to Anchorage) pack it in totes, and hey, throw in a few of those smaller Sterilite boxes too! Those are perfect for hygiene stuff and small belongings.
Let's help folks get some small semblance of organization!

Watching all the updates on fb. So far my family sounds okay but it gets stronger when it’s dark out. I can’t physically panic or cry about it, nor can I talk on the phone with people about it. Both roads out are unusable. There wouldn’t be a building to go to anyway. Water might reach the school.

first realized I can think in my language at the same time as English 7daysago. Primal screamed. People’s stories are now Iñupiaq thoughts.

then 2 days later, I loudly celebrated 30 hrs of Iñupiaq & broke vocal cord.

now all within one week, my hometown is flooding, maybe the worst or close to it.

“No,” said Pooh.
“Fuck,” said Piglet.”

Day 5 broken vocal cord: my whole body is still in pain. Sore fm enduring the shock waves of tingles/numbness/nerve pain rushes. It seems the hard part is in the past & my muscles need to recover for the week.

Won’t be able to use my cords till Friday 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll prob not use them till next month tho 🥵

They’re inflamed all the way around my cords down my spine. I did a primal scream during a panic at the language camp. And after the week, I was at the bar screaming & celebrating everyone’s hard work. So that’s part of it!

Also, it would take approximately 50-60 intense hrs to break them I think🤔

Haha, don’t be scared! I spent 10 yrs studying & it’s my 2nd intensive wk w speaking it outloud. Trying is GOOD! I’m even happy to be going thru this or grateful. It’ll just make it stronger.

Iñupiaq language is mostly used in the back by the Adam’s Apple! All those muscles back there instead. 🤯

above all else, I am angry at the colonizers’ language, the killer language. my vocal cord wouldn’t have been destroyed if my maternal lineage was allowed to speak and teach our language. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🫠🫥🫣😳😤😩☹️

jacQuii @jacquiiwithacue.bsky.social · 8d

Thank you!! I’m in total shock. But I am grateful for it, too. Elders and others around me allowed me to cry and panic whenever I needed to last week. That helped a lot for sure.

That's wild, I hope your cord heals along with the language healing that you're doing

the most shocking part (at this point, I can only laugh about it all) is that just by chance, I’ve waited 4 months for a consultation on my jaw. Yesterday, I learned there’s a (rly) slight possibility I’ll need jaw surgery which means my mouth will be literally wired shot for a little while! 🥴😦🫩😑🫥🫥🫥

damaging my vocal cord will probably be the biggest piece of humble pie that I’ll ever eat in my life! 😮‍💨

Ok, that’s the legal drinking age across the world as visualized by @xruiztru but what’s the actual time you first drank in your country? I think it’s probably around two years below legal drinking age?
