No, Indian Reservations aren’t going to become safe harbors for abortions. It sounds easy, but there’s hundreds of years of legal rulings that make basic survival on reservations damn near impossible! So start demanding more from your elected officials, not Indigenous Peoples!

My son has long hair. He's constantly getting called a girl. I'm cool with that. We're Cheyenne & long hair is about strength and tradition, not toxic Western gender norms. I also bought him a pink bike bc @ a yard sale. I'm cheap, my kid has rad hair, and f* your gender norms.

I'm sick of shit being called nice things so colonizers feel better! Settler colonialism isn't complex. My undergrads get it. It requires the forced/ongoing displacement, surveillance & erasure of Indigenous Peoples. You know how it happens/is sustained? Violence!
