FRIENDS!

Becoming Kin is #4 on Amazon right now for Native American biographies.

Which, I don't think of it as a biography but you do you amazon. As long as people are buying the book and thinking about what I wrote.

Anywho. You can buy it here instead

So we’re supposed to think the problem is kids swimming in a pool, and not cities defunding kids’ summer activities and lifeguards and enrichment?

Know anyone who could use two to four weeks to devote to their writing?

You seriously think everyone who has student loans is a doctor or lawyer? Be serious.

You support bailouts for corporations and are happy to take government handouts yourself. It is only a problem when it helps working people.

The Supreme Court handed down a major decision Thursday in the Haaland v. Brackeen case, affirming the constitutionality of the Indian Child Welfare Act by a 7-2 vote.

The decision represents a major victory for federal Indian law.

Today the #SCOTUS upheld the Indian Child Welfare Act in an opinion authored by Justice Barrett. Much of the fight has been left for another day--in that #SCOTUS declined to reach some of the thorniest issues. But ICWA survives. So much to learn here. https://t.co/OFvS2l0Laa

As someone who loves medical history & science, This thread is horrific because rather than be horrified of this museum holding stolen Black, Indigenous, & Disabled remains, the thread/replies are framing the Museum re-evaluating it’s ethics as “hating the goths”

"A story is about who gets to imagine themselves." - @WalkerImagining at the @_Narrative Changemaker Authors Conference on the power of children being able to see themselves in books, but also the harm the absence of kids of color from books has.

Carolyn Bryant Donham, the Mississippi woman whose lies led to the brutal lynching of Emmett Till, has died. She lived until 88. Emmett died at 14.

speaking w/ the land is a puzzle
colonialism scattered across generations
I want the land back, yes
but even more
I want the land to want *me* back
each the other’s missing piece
our jigsaw edges fitting together
in a long-awaited embrace
