My jaw dropped twice today!

1: learning that my first book chapter was published

2: realizing it is the FEATURED #Oxfordhandbook article!

Proud #Indigenous scholar. Grateful for the collaboration that this piece is wholly owed to.

My wife and I were out for dinner and she mumbles something about #Ichiro throwing the @Mariners opening pitch. A couple minutes later she’s red faced and teary eyed and I asked what’s wrong?

She looks over my shoulder and says “there’s something about athletic excellence.”

Can @Google make a “remove before times” filter? I don’t trust the relevancy of pre-June 2020 search results.

@MiataDragon @ditikohli_ It’s called “fire” and it doesn’t really work.

[Melissa Watkinson-Schutten @EnvironMel]

This is why the 1619 Project exists. This is why the decades of scholarship that undergirds the 1619 Project exists. Because if we do nothing, they will co-opt our history and use it against us.

#Hollywood can it be time to adopt smart home ring systems and *STOP RINGING DOORBELLS* so I’m not all “and just like BARK BARK BARK…”

I’m Googling to learn if I own my intellect so that I can contribute to what western science deems knowledge. This shit isn’t owned by anyone, it was built by my ancestors and serves our future gens. #intellectualproperty #Indigenousscience #Indiginerd
