I did usually say 'it's an English mispronunciation of a French mispronunciation of an Ojibwe word', so that part was 100% accurate.

Mackinac is where I'm from! A couple years ago I learned that the original Ojibwe word does end with a hard consonant (closer to a G actually) and now I feel bad for years of correcting people.

Oh no, I'm so sorry. 🫡
Maybe save it for the end.

Can anyone help me with Storm’s expenses this week? She’s in poor health and going to a Specialist to be put under anesthesia on Wednesday but it’s gonna cost about $2,700. I need to figure out what’s wrong with her I just don’t make a lot. I only have Venmo— @wendy_lynne — even a re-skeet helps! ❤️

This show is adorable, I'm glad I found out about it.

As news comes out that Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other flotilla members are being tortured in Israeli 'prisons'.

I ask you.

Do you stand with Greta Thunberg?

Spread the message Free Greta Thunberg if you do.

boosting this as i'm very much still in need of help, and my account is uncomfortably low 🫂🙏

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

Today marks the 7th anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.

Yet again, someone who stays up for multiple nights in a row, slipping into mania while the chatbot does nothing to disengage. The easiest safeguard to add, and it seems none of these companies have cared enough to try.

Full list of comics to stop patronizing cuz they don't need our money anymore. They got that murder-slaves-and-oil cash now. (Some extreme disappointments, I'm afraid.)

I've been refreshing @poorlyformed.bsky.social's site all day cuz I'm a menace.

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

Yes, thank you, let your colleagues know that this is what we are here for. Not giving in to fascist bullies, that's not 'bipartisan'. Hold on to our values!

Hi! Did you know that you aren’t pronouncing axolotl correctly?

Suppression of indigenous languages by the Spanish is one of the Four Wounds of Colonization. This is a small subversion of colonial power you can use!

I had a judge presiding over one of my cases ask me if I had been a defendant in one of his cases because he recognized me. I was like nope. I'm counsel. I was dressed impeccably in a vintage Calvin Klein suit that I'd paid way too much money for. It happened in 2005ish and I still think about it.

asking is always tough, but i'm struggling to afford med refills, groceries, or a doctors appointment i have next week 😞 if anyone is able to contribute, every little bit would be a massive help to this queer trans person rn 🫶🫂
