With colonizers trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, has anyone heard of an #Indigenous name for that body of water? I might know an Ojibwemowin one but I'm not very confident in my translation of it yet.

I think this is safe to share since it’s legal—an org a friend of mine works for had their funding cut, that had allowed them to put DV/SA survivors up in hotels when shelters are full. My friend asked folks to sign up if they’d be willing to be on an emergency list to donate $90 for a night’s stay.

The empire is falling. No idea how long that fall is going to be, but now is the time to be thinking about and talking about what you want to come after. Turtle Island has a future after the empire but we need to collectively consider what we want it to be.

Seen some posts about Christmas lately and how while they wanna ditch it on principle, they don't want their kids to miss out on gifts. We have an important day around the same time, Aabita-biboon or the Midwinter (Ojibwe New Year). Maybe we should build up new holiday traditions around that?

More Indigenous loanwords:
Pecan: Illinois pakani ("nut")
Squash: Narragansett askutasquash ("eaten raw")
Succotash: Narragansett msickquatash ("boiled corn")
Skunk: The earliest written spelling was squuncke (from the Algonquian word for "urinating fox")

Literally. Please stop doing this.
It is very weird that liberals so often take evil people they hate and go "haha they're gay"
Whats up with that?
Whats up with that?
I just blocked this account. Liberals wonder why we don't trust them (after all they hate Republicans!!! that makes them unquestionably good) and then they make memes where the entire insult, the withering attack that can never be recovered from, is...*checks notes* being homosexual. Fuck you.
