Karl Lagerfeld was a fatphobic, sexist and racist butthole that hated pink. Quannah Chasinghorse attending the Met in pink, in a gown and style that Karl Lagerfeld would have hated, and in all her Indigenous glory is absolutely the most beautiful way to "honor" an unhonorable man

Non-Natives before you post videos like this make sure you first ask and accurately state what is going on. He didn't just start dancing, he's counting coup. When we dance in the face of the enemy, it's never just "dancing", it's ceremony, prayer, medicine, courage and mercy.

Folks hating on this look just don't get it. But Native folks love this because Quannah is slaying this look but also because we know the courage it took for her to do this, to be invited to the Met Gala is an honor, but to be expected to honor an unhonorable man is despicable.

What a weird ass statement. If Nex's mother is Choctaw, Nex is Choctaw. For all you Non-Natives and non-Choctaw folks, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma does NOT use blood quantum but descendantship for enrollment. So, Nex is undeniably Choctaw and "affiliated" with the tribe.

She could have said no, she could have given up her space, and no one would have noticed and that's exactly why she attended because Natives should not have to be invisible and we're tired of being invisible & having our contributions to fashion and other industries ignored.

Decolonization is a not a call to genocide, it is an END to ALL genocide. Also, let's be honest, "from the river to the sea" is only characterized as a call to genocide because it is similar to "from sea to shining sea", which celebrates Manifest Destiny & the genocide of Natives

Again, I didn't want to seem paranoid, dramatic or weak even. I didn't work the next two days cuz they were my days off and when I went back, I had gotten the closing shift, so I was happy thinking I wouldn't have to see that dude cuz I had been working the morning shift

She also calls my parents and fills them in for me. That night after closing up, we're leaving and we discover when he left, he didn't really leave. He was sitting in the back by the dumpsters and when he saw us coming out, started walking towards us.

I tried to ignore it. On the 5th day things escalated. He came in, ordered food, but he left & I thought okay I was being paranoid. Then I went to take some trash out with one of my co-workers & he was out by the dumpsters. He got all happy & said I knew you'd come out eventually

Natives have been addressing this a-hole for years and she only gets more racist, more petty and disgusting with every tantrum she throws because she can't disrespect the remains of Indigenous people, because she can't undermine federal laws or undermine our sovereignty.

Ya'll! The #PreyMovie has dropped on #Hulu ! I highly suggest watching it in Comanche because the english version dialogue is not as solid and can come off as a little corny, a lot of nuance gets lost as well.

Nope, I show up for my shift and when I walk in there is he. I run to the back, clock in and dread going up front. I get there and he's just standing behind the lines now just watching. My supervisor sees him just standing there & asks if he's been helped & he doesn't even answer

Check on your immunocompromised folks. It's hard watching the world move on like there isn't a highly contagious virus still going around. I am not a jealous person, I am genuinely happy and proud of my peers doing amazing things and going to amazing places.

He just stands there. After about 10 minutes of him just standing there watching me, my supervisor asks if that's my boyfriend and then reminds me it is unprofessional for me to have visitors...she says this where he can hear and he starts smiling and just leaves.

So shows like Reservation Dogs, Rutherford Falls, Spirit Rangers and Molly of Denali....books like Moon of the Turning Leaves and well just about any contemporary Native media since that's our lived experience as survivors in a post-post apocalyptic world.

So...what most folks don't know is that most child entertainers are emancipated or encouraged to be emancipated because it then exempts them from a lot of the rules put in place to protect children in the industry.

I'm confused. Why was a 14 year old girl allowed to play the girlfriend of a 19 year old actor in the first place? And Ashton and his disgusting rapist friend were making bets about it?

I was admitted tonight. I have some kind of infection that is messing with my heart. I'm currently covered in ice packs trying to get my fever down. Prayers would be appreciated.

“No-fault divorce should be illegal.” Hey you know what a lot of women did in the past when they weren’t allowed to divorce terrible men? They murdered them. Be grateful you’re just whining on the Internet and not serving as hog chow.

Doctors are TRAINED to believe you are lying about your history and behaviors especially if not White. It's why I'm a drugless, alcohol-free asexual Native who will still have a full toxicology panel and pregnancy test ordered anytime I need medical care.

It is condescending to frame this as Immunocompromised and medically vulnerable people "feeling unsafe" because it's not about feelings. It is about BEING endangered, about BEING unable to safely seek NECESSARY healthcare.

Hospitals and doctors’ offices were to last to require masks, and now those mandates are ending too. I talked to immunocompromised and medically vulnerable people who feel unsafe with the protections gone. Paywall free link:

I mean...what did people expect would happen when you price folks out of homeownership, when family housing options are hard to find, when folks don't have a living wage, and the cost of childcare, education, etc are way too expensive, when you create a violent environment?

I just want to say that we need to stop this narrative that people are dying suddenly from long covid symptoms. Yes, that is the underlying condition but the real culprit is folks not being able to get proper medical care in the aftermath of covid.

And also some folks just assume you are automatically issued a CDIB and enrolled in your tribe. But your folks have to apply for your CDIB(Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood) and then you can enroll as a citizen of your tribe if you meet enrollment criteria.
