My mom, Emma Decorah, was removed from her family & sent to the Tomah Indian School, for assimilation into the white society. Just asking for a favor; wear an orange shirt tomorrow, 9/30. And know there was no “wild west”. It was already occupied. And I hope you love the woods & waters like I do.

Starting tomorrow, plugin solar now affordable in Conneticut. Ninth US state to do so. Canada's at zero provinces. We need new legislative policies here, now.

thecooldown.com

Connecticut will allow no-permit plug-in solar, but the 1,200-watt kits may not exist yet

A new kind of low-hassle solar panels are coming to Connecticut as the state legalizes balcony solar.

SPD stopped naming cops who shoot people when the consent decree ended, so we do that now. The cop who shot the woman in Beacon Hill is Jose Jimenez, and we did a deep dive on him. Read all about him:

Cop who shot Beacon Hill woman identified

Officer Jose Jimenez, 34, had only been assigned to the SWAT team for less than a year. He was previously a member of the Community Response Group, SPD’s “problem-oriented policing” unit.

And ALSO. ALSO. Even if there was a link between mental health issues and queerness, that doesn't mean they are WRONG. The way society treats mental illnesses as such a big boogeyman is a HUGE problem.

Ye gods Screenshot from an email I just got from someone, which I am just sharing to say: PAY NO ONE. You, as the creative person, should get paid. These truckloads of bullshit are easy to cut through: Who’s getting paid? If it’s not you, run away. It’s a scam.

I have allegedly been offered an opportunity to publish my book with Henry Holt. They are asking for two things:
A Universal Media Core Dispatch and an Executive Acquisition Pitch. They are telling me that they need these two things and that I should use a Hollywood screenwriter. They are charging a huge amount of money. I am just wondering if this seems legit or if they are trying to take me to the cleaners.
