whenever ppl wanna act like queer ppl were only invented in the 2010s, here's an ojibway relative of mine + his friends doing a drag chorus !! not sure of the exact year but approx 1950ish if i had to guess

@RonSFriedman @Jonathan_K_Cook so if i converted to judaism tomorrow, would it still be my ancestral home regardless of how the jews there feel? indigeneity is not simply being from a place thousands of years ago

@Gravitoid @AllY0URBASE @ChrisJohns51087 @WarriorMathias @bishop1520736 @piyushmittal that doesn't account for all factors (like settler violence against people, our unprocessed animal/plant food sources, and air quality) and shifts blame onto individuals. good food can't fix a lack of culturally appropriate healthcare access or trauma from residential schools

@Gravitoid @AllY0URBASE @ChrisJohns51087 @WarriorMathias @bishop1520736 @piyushmittal so then what causes us to develop diabetes & alcoholism at higher rates than other ethnic groups? focusing on the illness and not the cause of it is misplacing blame on to individuals. we know indigenous people don't suffer with these equally when we compare on vs off reserve ppl

RT @deseretintntl: am I an asshole if I say that sometimes the left feels more like a fandom than an actual political faction

@ChrisJohns51087 @AllY0URBASE @WarriorMathias @bishop1520736 @piyushmittal this might be a good read to you as well keep in mind our current life expectancy isn't just based on healthcare access & lifestyle choices but also settler violence resulting in death, disability, & ptsd

@ChrisJohns51087 @AllY0URBASE @WarriorMathias @bishop1520736 @piyushmittal well i guess we can give them credit for creating treatment options for certain diseases we never had prior to their arrival such as diabetes. here's a source about my peoples for when colonialism was here tho

@ReproductiveSex @SOPROSOCIAL crazy how at my last job i was the one translating squamish & cree for my english-speaking coworkers and our english-speaker guests. that shit wasn't in my job duties nor did i speak either language i was asked to translate lmaooo

@ChrisJohns51087 @AllY0URBASE @WarriorMathias @bishop1520736 @piyushmittal around 10 year difference in america tho according to this source

@Gravitoid @ChrisJohns51087 @AllY0URBASE @WarriorMathias @bishop1520736 @piyushmittal so then why do natives have less healthcare access ? you might be correct for americans but in canada the majority of us live off-reserve & the on-reserve obesity rate is around 1/3 (can't find overweight stat). also, settler violence is relevant to our lifespan stats as well

@SBGHistorian @XEXEEZY canada celebrates black history month & pride month at the same time as americans tho ??

@ChrisJohns51087 @AllY0URBASE @WarriorMathias @bishop1520736 @piyushmittal "with all its comforts" like having a statistically shorter lifespan than white people by a decade or more ? i don't think shit like enjoying my lil iphone & electric heating justifies colonialism and genocide

@CarnoBlue @Commando5871 @piyushmittal no, i don't think americans know not to enslave people actually. here's an article from less than a month ago about black children being enslaved by white folk

@SenorMorale @KendrickChart bts been fucking with kendrick for over a decade and j-hope even did a collab with jcole for a song ! you can probably guess who inspired j-hope's stage name

@theBishopAmish @NounNameLesbian why can't your girl meet you at the airport ?? yall can take public transit together

@TheKarlKolchak @TheRebelOfChao1 @blue_ballooon @sadsoulstice @Scholf_A_Loaf glad your kids have homeschool groups! i knew kids in them through facebook but unfortunately i didn't live close enough to participate. wish i had the opportunity since they seemed very close-knit and flexible !!

@TheKarlKolchak @TheRebelOfChao1 @blue_ballooon @sadsoulstice @Scholf_A_Loaf i do agree they loved me but they pulled me out of school to raise 2 infants they kinship adopted, not related to my educational well-being !

@TheRebelOfChao1 @blue_ballooon @sadsoulstice @TheKarlKolchak @Scholf_A_Loaf also because i lived on a farm i couldn't walk/bike/use transit to see friends which created unhealthy isolation. social activities are important for children's development whether it's in school or not

@MilesMcConnel10 @CourtesyJaxyn @ninamonei so you gon ignore my question or what ?
