Today in Calgary there was a hate rally so some friends organized a counter hate rally. Before both, I went to the Timmy's close by. I was waiting for my small double double with a Son of Odin while a couple of cops were sitting at a table. You know how weird that is? Lol!

We are telling stories to keep ourselves and our cultures alive. That's a very different way of seeing- we aren't creating mere soundbites.

It's true. Not gonna lie, the texts, private messages and broken hearts have been overwhelming. Allies, we just need you to act. Indigenous have telling we need systemic change from all levels of government. You need to support our messages. https://t.co/2rz16pW4L5

It takes time to build an appreciation of the fact that YOU TOO have a lot to offer the world.

My new in life mantra:

Why not me? Mediocre ass white folks raise funds to travel the world with far less to offer it.
