I dunno, I sleep from Comox-Calgary and that’s an hour and ten so about the same length from Toronto-Detroit. Planes knock me out. 

Gravol. Gravol kept little me, older spidey and younger spidey quiet on lots of transatalntic flights.

And so did I- looking back at the sheer number of near misses I had, I have a stash of horseshoes somewhere. I had to do a quad safety course for work and there was a lot I didn’t know or was doing incorrectly. Bicycles and skateboards can’t be given too much throttle or gas, thank fuck

Kids shouldn’t be operating quads or dirtbikes on their own. The focus and depth perception you need doesn’t fully develop ‘till you’re in your mid teens (hence getting your permit at 15/16). Don’t care how long you’ve been riding them, I fucking judge you if you let your small children on em by themselves. Hell, they…

My native ass is doing so. Hard.

Nope. It’s perfectly reasonable, especially if you’re getting discounted gas or smokes. I bust mine out around 3x a week. Even more so if you’re accessing services or applying for funding or a job.

Still none of your business. It’s a bizzare thing to get hung up about. You’ve gotten your nose outta joint for the wrong reasons on this one. You don’t know what she did before or after, you don’t know if anyone else applied. Save your ire for actual asshats like Boyden. I sense a lot of jealousy.

White fee-fees are very fragile. We’re the bad guys/gals if they get upset hearing about our history and issues. 

Um, my sister is blonde with blue eyes an is an active tribal member. You dont get to decide who gets scholarships, the band’s education counselor chooses the members who would benefit most and sometimes that person looks white. Kindly fuck off.

Cause he doesn’t have it. Like you, I have my treaty ID and my Métis association membership in my wallet- hell, I sit on a tribal committee and I’ve served as an elected official. Have had it since I was born. It’s been whispered for a while that he’s a Grey Owl but no one had come out and said it previously.

Fuck. That’s my life. People rocking up to the aboriginal students center to talk over us and tell us just how excited they are to be 1,00000000th Cherokee. 

Kim TallBear nails it. It’s colonialism in the same way wearing headdresses to festivals and buying shitty ‘Navajo’ print clothes from forever 21 is. It’s the same ideology that killed our children in Residential schools and is still killing them in care. It’s our missing and murdered women. It takes our narrative out…

Because first peoples are considered an inconvenience by governments and industry. We just won’t get over residential schools, the scoop, missing and murdered women, inadequate housing....etc. Governments don’t hold up their end of the bargain then get pissy when we stand up for ourselves.

It’s really meta, illegally occupying illegally occupied land. I’m waiting for the militarized police units to come brutalize the construction crews...

I don’t get the vitriol people have for her, she’s a human that’s been dealt an exceptionally shit hand lately. She has more resources than a lot of people but that doesn’t exempt her from needing compassion.

Yup. Park the littles in front of Daniel Tiger with bowls of Annie’s and mix the girl a stiff drink.

I hope their babies are with stable, not-famous relatives. He and Kim have had such a shit go of it lately too.

Sending you love, it’s not easy and I hope you get help that works for you <3

Know anyone who needs a GIS analyst with a solid programming/developing foundation and is able to interact with clients? Hit a home girl up, NZ seems to be kinder to indigenous women than Canada.

Y’all need gun control. This is uncomfortably close to my side of the border. We haven’t had a major firearm incident in a really, really long time. Having a nationalized system of background checks and licensing standards makes a huge difference, and it doesn’t interfere with law abiding Canadians’ ability to buy…
