I was driving by this lake Sunday and noticed that the lotus blossoms there were pink and not white like the ones at the other lake, so I paddled out early this morning before work to get a closer look. 🪷 The lotus grows through mud, rises through water, and blossoms in the sunlight. 🪷 #lotus

The lotus 🪷 are blossoming on the lake. I had to paddle up to them to get a closer look. 👀 #Paddleboarding

It's #Paddleboard season! Who else has been getting out? Last Sunday I paddled my favorite tidal lagoon, can only do it at high tide since it drains during low tides.

Finished this big book today. Less than optimal learning my ancestors medicine ways from a book, but here we are, and at least this resource exists. Fascinating how much plant medicine knowledge the Raramuri have. Keeping this on hand in case we have to forage for our medicines. #NativeSky

As #TheChiefs play this weekend, let me remind you that we are #NotYourMascot. The Chiefs team & fans perpetuate harmful stereotypes of Indigenous people. We are #NotHonored by white people wearing headdresses & red face. #StopTheChop. #NativeSky #SuperBowl

I'm working on my next review which is of the Transgressors exhibit at Chachalu Museum and Cultural Center. It's a vibrant & deeply meaningful showcase of queer, Two Spirit, trans, & non-binary Indigenous artists. It was very moving to get to meet many of these artists at the opening last month.

Rocked by the power & artistry of this beaded compression bandage by Roin Morigeau, a Two-Spirit artist from the Flathead Salish tribe of Montana. It’s titled, “When I felt unsure about how my top surgery would affect the relationship I have with my sumix, so I beaded it up and felt better, ixi?” 🌈
