@bushfoundation.bsky.social might receive this and just conclude, “OH WE NEED TO RAISE THE AMOUNT FOR INFLATION!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh noez! I ran out of time to apply for @bushfoundation.bsky.social this year! Hauņ I have to wait another year to be weeded out by the wealth hoarders on my cousins’ ancestral lands again! What will I do, oh noez.

Your Nonprofit Reminder: Praising your staff is the best way to create a culture of abundance. It may bring up awkwardness for you if you’re the type who was taught to do work regardless of praise or you think taking credit is selfish. It’s why we recommend unpacking your shit at every opportunity.

Your Nonprofit Reminder: Unreimbursed expenses for things your employees use for their work is wage theft. Stop expecting your staff to pick up your slack for being unable to effectively fundraise.

Your Nonprofit Reminder: You set the tone for your team in almost every way. The tone you set under stress will be what your team adopts in crunch time. Self-awareness is important because when you know how and why you stress out, you have to tools to manage it in yourself and others.

“The infiltration of movements and movement spaces is real, and dangerous, as the assassination of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark demonstrate. But jacketing is another tool used to destroy movements, and is used most frequently by infiltrators themselves.”

The Minnesotans who lived through OMS and the 2020 Uprisings with me know what I did during those times, I’m not worried about what strangers on the internet think of me. But as a middle aged Two Spirit who’s lived through a few things, it’s important to pass on this perspective when others want it.

And this being the internet, do I actually expect people to engage in a nuanced way? No. But when the cortisol ebbs away, some folks may have the curiosity to learn more about what responsibilities that current movement building requires of us.

Yesterday I posted an unpopular position. Bsky being the X of the left, strangers on the internet decided that rather than just think I was odd and move on, decided to go to fedjacketing. Here’s a piece from the Wobblies that I go back to as a reminder of the cost. archive.iww.org/content/no-b...

Look, I am NOT saying Gloria Steinem wasn't a problematic, white feminist and CIA asset. But what I AM SAYINGGG is that it's almost entirely cisgender men or people assigned male at birth who have been reminding me of those three things in the algorithm since she died. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Your Nonprofit Reminder: You can have staff and board members who love a union and organizing power and still demand too much from their staff and volunteers. Pro-worker means pro-humane working and volunteer conditions.

Your Nonprofit Reminder: HIRING SOMEONE WHO SHOULD "HIT THE GROUND RUNNING" IS A MYTH. Most jobs worth doing are worth doing well and expecting a brand new person to know everything about your org only sets yourself up for failure.

Your Nonprofit Reminder: ABUNDANCE mindsets doesn’t mean you can’t have boundaries, tell people no, or stick to a deadline. Fear of rejection (whether being rejected or rejecting) isn’t abundant, it’s deficit. Being able to handle conflict is abundance. Seeking to disable conflict is deficit.

Your Nonprofit Reminder: Black and Brown coworkers saying no, having boundaries, pushing back on bad ideas (bc jfc people) or whatever else you’re categorizing as not being a “team player” isn’t problematic, it’s just uncomfortable for you. Consider why throwing a tantrum is your go to solution!

BREAKING: The Trump admin's subpoenas against NYT reporters will be withdrawn "at this time." The court, for its part, appears to hope the government does both the necessary factual and legal work *before* coming back to court, if it does so. Fantastic work from @innercitypress.bsky.social —>

Just your reminder that it is 2026 and white people asking me to clean their house after I post photos of my clean house is … well, racist, but for the purposes of comforting the white people in my life, I’ll just say it’s TACKY. Clean your own damn house or give to me as a part of land back 🤣

This is your daily, weekly, monthly, annual, centenary, and semiquincentenary reminder that I am never under any obligation to provide comfort to anyone not Indigenous or to come together with my colonizers because this country labeled me and my people as merciless from the beginning.

In his 1976 essay, “The Fate of Empires,” Sir John Glubb outlines, however impartially to the concept of empire as a British citizen and military historian can, the stages of the rise and fall of an empire, using the Roman, Russian, Ottoman, and British as exemplars.

I struggled with this for weeks. I miss my misuņ Wayne Keezer. He lived with me when he died 10 years ago and I still wrestle with my guilt. It’s not easy to care for us addict/alcoholics. But I thought if there are others feeling the same way, you’re not alone. walkingbull.com/2026/06/30/t...

“You’re right side up!”   There was never a reply. But that was Wayne Keezer’s style. He was a good Ojibwe Minnesotan who never directly expressed himself, unless he was embarrassed.…

You know, I am not usually the type that ascribes weather to a supernatural force but the sun came out for 3-4 hours for the Twin Cities Pride parade and Donald Trump’s fair closed to “severe weather.” The God of Abraham officially likes the queers more than the president he sent to rule over us.

Apparently Lavender Magazine in MniSota has folded as a publication. After the 2015 police murder of Jamar Clark, gay orgs issued a solidarity statement. The publisher sent an email to my ED saying he was sad to see us encouraging destruction of private property. Take a bow and say goodbye.

“MANAGING UP” is a myth created by mediocre white supervisors who are unable to thrive in a system created for them to thrive in without the assistance of a BIPOC or queer underling. Often used as a carrot for promotion or pay raise without resulting in either. THERE I SAID IT.
