This is the leading cause of death for police dogs btw, cops just leave them in their cars to cook to death. No one is more dangerous to a dog than a cop and that includes their own.
K-9 officer dies after being left in hot car in Missouri, department says.

Just found out that because of climate change, we won't have any Okanagan stone fruit this year. No peaches, plums, nectarines... it was too warm in the fall and then a cold snap in January killed them all. People still don't believe climate change exists.

I want to make it really clear
No Indigenous person is *shocked* about those babies being found in Kamloops. We knew they were there. The families knew. Their children were taken and didn't come home. Of course we knew.
So please, non-natives, stop saying this is "shocking."

Inuit artists living up north where it costs 37$ for some carrots deserve triple what they're charging for their art and I really wish y'all understood and empathized with that.

does this make anyone else feel icky? Or just me? I think I've seen people point out that he just memorizes some likely conversation phrases so he can get millions of views portraying himself as someone who actually learned the language...

Would love it if we all collectively agreed that police K9 is animal abuse and got it banned. Search and rescue is fine, but any dog that accompanies a cop alone in a car is unacceptable. The other leading causes of death for K9s are "hit by a car" and "shot to death" btw

If you live in Canada and don't know about Indian Hospitals, the race segregated hospital system where Indigenous people were trapped, starved, and medically tortured I think you should start doing some reading.

Okay guys "The Okanagan" is a region in Canada, in the Pacific Northwest, if you're replying to say you just ate a peach in Buffalo New York that's super cool. You're next, though. This same issue happened last year in Georgia. This will happen again, everywhere, eventually.

No it's good!! Yes!!! It's only bad when like Urban Outfitters sells "native inspired" beadwork or anyone else non-native who culturally appropriates our art! There's laws in the US that ban non-ntvs from lying about what they're selling, but no such laws in Canada 😭😭😭

My re-appropriated Zara earring, on the right is an exact copy of the "native inspired" earrings the fast fashion brand sells. On the left is my authentic Indigenous redesign!
We put so much love and skill and culture into our art.
Zara thinks that's worth 12$

Last night I decided to copy bead for bead these culturally appropriated earrings Zara is selling. Theyre very time intensive, worth 75$ for the labour alone. Zara sells em for 12$, exploiting their workers
If I prettied up this design and sold it, would yall pay the fair price?

This is starting to leave my circle, but having heard from everyone i think my issue boils down to this:
Cree is not a dying language. He was invited by the community in the video but he chose to depict himself as a white savior. He's done this with multiple Indigenous languages.

Conservatives who hate Indigenous people and believe the abuse at Residential Schools was exaggerated or did not happen are now weaponizing Residential Schools in their crusade against (checks notes) sex education and protecting vulnerable queer youth.

I was reading an analysis of pet dog killings by police in I think NYC and the analysis noted just like, in one single sentence, that over half of all the dog killings were committed by one guy. Evil people become cops so they can legally kill whatever and whoever they want

I knew someone, born female, with a medical condition that they were prescribed dilators for 🤷♂️ They told me about this because we were friends, maybe you dont know about dilators because your world is very small and nobody wants to vulnerable around someone so hateful and weird.

Non-Indig people making money by replicating our art is genocide. Taking away our ability to make a living, stripping our culture from us for commercial gain, its all the same. Colonizers won't stop until we have nothing but our own bones, then they'll put those in a museum too.

White woman told me one time that she never had a bad experience with a nurse but that was probably because she's "only gone to the hospital in the south, and the south is known for its hospitality" and I wanted to tear my own hair out but instead all i said back was "white"
Yt folks talk about nurses/med staff the way they talk about cops w/o ever being able to connect the systemic dots much less think beyond their own experiences.

Renting in the city as a native person means being afraid to pray. Being afraid to smudge. Being afraid to drum or sing. My landlord demanded if I smoked inside because my home smells like sage and moose hide. I have to drum softly so no one can complain. Its hard.
