Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay
Reposted by Red Haircrow

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?
John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

I was very thankful a traditional Maori tattooist did mine, one of the few female tattooists, Paitangi.

Except for 1 part from one of my nation's flags, they talk with you, learn about your history & family, then ink their concept.

I didn't know what was there until 10hrs later lol

Autumn #Berlin before the greys and rain started. Endeavoring to remain sanguine despite the USofKKK, Japan, the UK, Germany...

I can keep ticking off all the hatemongering, genocide supporting, human rights violating, pseudo-Christian, pedophile fetishizing govs making our lives hell.

Indigenous. Indigeneity.

Colonized, internalized misogyny, bigotry, transphobia, homophobia, anti-Blackness, white proximity. Christianity.

Causal Loop
By Red Haircrow

Because you're a thinker.
Because sometimes that
was all you could do was think,
but damned if you didn't want
your brain to stop analyzing
what you did wrong
when it was another you,
back then when your mouth
couldn't say 'stop'
and only afterwards:
'how could you'.

2nd harvest of tomatillos & like the fruit, my gay Regency novel is vine ripe and will soon be ready.

Look forward to "Twin Masquerade" coming soon!

For now, try my best seller, "The Agony of Joy", a modern gothic romance. It's on sale! www.jms-books.com/red-haircrow...

"Escaping Winnetou" is the new campaign at Survival International. Brochure & vid at link.

I was contacted for commentary on the topic, as a new film of racist Native stereotypes was released, and normalized racism is on the rise in Germany also.

Escaping Winnetou - Survival International
Bei „Escaping Winnetou“ geht es um mehr als nur um ein paar Bücher und Filme. Es geht um Anerkennung, um Macht und Gewalt, um Geschichte – und um unsere Verantwortung.

Timeline brightener.

It's that season! 1st #tomatoes & #tomatillos, and salsa verde is my favorite.

There's more coming as the bushes are loaded, both green and purple varieties.

A hand holds a white bowl of green husked fruits against a background of green leaves. A white bowl of dark red ,gold striped tomatoes still on the vine, sitting in a terracotta flower planter. Four yellow husked fruits with bright green stems rest on a blue and white crochet doily.

Times are extreme for so many (an understatement) but, "Take a moment. Breathe. Be."

Keep fighting for love, goodness & human rights and take care of yourself. Be kind, protect your heart, but still check haters.

Critically important, esp for #Indigenous peoples, who often receive less resources, support, and empath + have outright violence directed at us on a daily basis.

From a conversation with Wanbli Gleske Tohake (Lakota), a mentor and encouragement to many.

This is what he told me.

Battling still the sophomore slump, but June 30th deadline is Real.

Sequels:

"Berlin Shift" follows Night Shift".

"The Joy of Pain" continues "The Agony of Joy".

"Saving Gigi" brings more of Dari & Rob's love story.

And NEW novel, "Twin Masquerade", a gay Regency...

Last year around this time, "Tell me, where you're from?"

How stereotypes can go hand-in-hand with racism and cultural appropriation. A deceptively simple yet highly complex topic, that's societal & individual.

My part begins at 10:40.

Almost forgot the words, then they came back to me. We're all different but still the same. Empathy, diversity, variance, realities to be enjoyed and learned, not vilified and feared.

#TimelineCleanser.

My son bought me a new pinwheel today. Reminded me of "Pinwheel" on Nickelodeon yrs ago.

Babysat my nephew who loved it & I did, too. Shorts like Chappi & Chano from FR, Henry the Hedgehog from UK, and one from Sweden.

Learning love & compassion from childhood not hate.

Whenever I see cherries, I always think of that scene in "Splash" (1984). We are a film quoting family.

"My brother bought your slimey cherries?!"

"How'd you like bananas at cost? Deal!"

And actually, I was thrilled to see your website, etc still up & viable. That's rather rare these days and there's so much brilliant work available there.

I strike through or highlight in grey with a note in e-versions. If it's a lot, I cut to a separate doc & save as "Excerpt A".

When handwriting, I strike through or arrow out and write alongside.

I never throw away revisions, notes, ideas, stories. I have some from age 10.

12. Are you more of a delete and rewrite when you realize a typo in your skeet or just add a comment with an * ?

Just a reminder for #PrideMonth and who started it all by speaking up, refusing to accept the violence, discrimination, abuses anymore.

None of us are free until we're all free.

This graphic has been circulating a few years, is terrific & Speaks. Powerfully.

I think the average, good person can't be well these days because of world and/or personal situations but....

I do believe there are many good people still out there, and daring to include myself: We're doing the best we can 👍

My father ignored my mother who was great at navigation, asked for directions at gas stations and got us lost.
