Wrote this piece for Harpers Bazaar about the life, legacy, and hate-induced murder of Jonathan Joss through the eyes of being a Two-Spirit Native person this Pride.
I hope you take a read. For Him. For all of us. 🪶
ICE: It is DEEPLY OFFENSIVE and HURTFUL to compare us to the gestapo.
Also ICE: Ach, brothers of the soil, please inform on the hidden vermin in our midst.

weird time to be stateside but it's made maybe 10% better by visiting the pine/ash forests and oak prairies I was raised in 🌿
I just emerged from the deep state woke Marxist meeting to control the weather for tomorrow’s small dictator parade. I can report things are on track and we are ready for space laser deployment. More soon.
Absolutely wild how extremely far right rhetoric on Covid/disabled people, that liberals and leftists rightly attacked MAGA for in 2020, has now been mainstreamed to the point that leftists/liberals are further right on public health than most MAGA people were in 2020. Julia outlines it well here

I’m not seeing a lot of people talking about this, but Molly of Denali won an Emmy Award for Best Writing for a Preschool Animated Series! @xhunei.bsky.social is the first Native to EVER win a Children’s And Family Emmy and it could not have happened to a nicer person! Everyone hire him!
Except from The Guardian. Text reads "says it is striking how little Covid now figures in the public debate about tax and spend, however. “It’s crazy: there’s a really powerful and actually true argument which is: we had to do loads of stuff during Covid and now we’re having to pay for it – but it’s like we’ve gone through a trauma that no one really wants to talk about, and if we don’t talk about it we can pretend it didn’t happen.” Separate from the impact on the public finances is the direct, long-term effect of the pandemic on public services, many of which are still working through the practical consequences."
Were you furloughed? Did you think that when the bill was due disabled people would be the ones expected to pay for it?
Five years on and for those of us disabled by covid we can never forget. But for those who are lucky enough to not have a daily reminder..?

blue sky is supreme because every time you post you get 100 school principals in the replies asking to see you in their office
Never forget you don’t need a mandate to do the right thing.
You can wear a mask and protect others.
You can get boosted.
You can help someone in need.
You can donate to mutual aid.
You can amplify voices different than your own.
Caring about one another IS a form of resistance.
Bold font that reads, "The pandemic isn't over just because you're over it." Below we can see a graph of wastewater data for Covid from 2020 to the present day, with fluctuating levels. Most of the post 2021 peaks exceed the peaks of 2020 and 2021.

“Stop resisting”
“He’s not resisting”
Agents seen continuing to ignore Mahmoud’s wife as she asks basic questions
Will they marvel or be like “the Palestine movement warned you guys for years but you hated Palestinians more than you loved civil rights”
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.
hey you all have got to stop blaming things that have been bad and oppressive and embarrassing for decades on trump lmao trump is bad but so is america 👍
“I feel like science, and academia more broadly, has a bit of a collective action problem. People come out of hibernation to go do a big event, to call their representatives, and then things peter out, and we wait until the next big emergency, when it’s too late.” www.statnews.com/2025/03/06/s...
Eileen and James Kramer were fired from their jobs at Lake Clark National Park in Alaska, even though they both recently received promotions. A judge has found the administration's firings illegal.
"Five years on from March 2020, millions of people still face debilitating symptoms, with huge repercussions on public health and productivity. But politicians are starting to pretend the pandemic never happened."

Reminder from a therapist that you can’t “coping skills” your way out of a systemic crisis
our genocide is on going. tens of millions of us dead over the past few centuries. we need folks to really sit with that, let it sink into their stomachs and spirits. and then we need people to educate themselves, to listen, to learn, and to let us help lead the way to the new world.
It would be great if world governments would read any other book besides the cointelpro playbook for example I hear Parable of the Sower is a rewarding read

🧵The Unseen Aftermath of the Pandemic: How Long COVID Impacts Post-Secondary Students By Rhea Bhalla
NIH studies have been very helpful for millions suffering from long COVID. This is essential research.
A letter from Rez. The fear in Indian Country USA is real. It’s not good when tribes are comparing Trump to the genocide era. No one should have to ask: “Will I need a passport to leave the reservation?” - an actual question tribal admin is dealing with now.
also, most of us have discovered over the last five years that the style of protests YOU want *don't work*. they only help the police-state tighten their grip.
kids are inventive. doing it quietly and subtly bc unfortunately, they *have* to. that's how far down the line of fascism we are *already*
All the discourse surrounding Natives and citizenship is just colonial pearl clutching because it ignores the most important fact of all:
We are already citizens of our sovereign Native Nations, Nations that predate invasion and the subsequent illegal occupation by your illegitimate government.
