if you're learning only from a book, don't correct the people that learn from the community and speakers

The cherokee one was staring me right in the face when I turned a corner and it was only $5, couldn't say no! And ofc I've been needing to pick up Kimmerer's new book

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I know this country is racist af and increasingly antiscientific but I didn’t realize it was so bad that if a “DEI hire” found a cure for cancer like 50% of Americans would rather die

Day 3, still plenty of snow here in southern AL
It'll be in the 40s today, i figure most of this will be gone by tonight.
Roads are looking clear and dry, though, so I think im safe for the drive to the mountains tomorrow!

“a little Cherokee in me”
I've been struggling to express this critique of both blood quantum and those people who love to claim supposed #Cherokee heritage as a fun lil fact they only bring up when they think it’ll make them look more interesting. It ended up manifesting as this self portrait (1/2)

Think I'll try to do a firing in the next few days 🤔 it'll be cold but I think it'll be nice to be outside for most of the day tending a fire. I've been growing a backlog of pieces that need to be fired haha, I've been too scared to try

Idk what's up with me, I don't feel bad but I just can't get warm. Im under two blankets with a heater running and normally I'd be sweating but I just feel all chilled
Sure would be nice if this guy wasn't hogging half my blankets though

Just a reminder to non-Native folks, Lakota Man is not a trusted source of information or Native news. He isn't even honest about his own identity much less anything else regarding Native people, which is why he has most Native folks blocked.

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.

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide

I love typing smth out and the realizing 'OH i can say that in cherokee!' And then I just say it in cherokee instead haha
Little things giving me more confidence heh. Now I just gotta Talk more

Seems like no one really uses the cherokee memrise course anymore, but I'm still proud of getting in the top 10 all time on the leaderboard 😈

Love getting on here and going 'maybe if I search cherokee I will find more cherokees to get in touch with'
And i never do. It's either random people talking about us or people claiming to be cherokee without knowing anything about us. It's tiring
