Our college cultural center is right next door to my house. I’m in my room, windows open on a lovely cool fall night & I can hear the hand drums from over there as our students play hand games, even as late as it is. I love being Mandan & Hidatsa. In every lifetime I’d choose it. ❤️🫶🏾

Millionaires and billionaires ain’t gonna save us; if they were, they would’ve done it already. The ones who will help, are going to be regular people. You and me. People with good hearts. Showing up in a million and a billion little ways.

Full house at our session. 107 people added us to their schedule, and it was standing room only. So wild. 🤯 Huge thank you to everyone who came, to ATALM, and of course, to my amazing colleagues.

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

I am pretty wildly depleted these days, and I recognize I’m going to have to go live in a mossy cave in the woods soon to keep from becoming ill. 😞

5/ Experts point to several factors for why it came back: 1️⃣Cattle smuggling outside control zones 2️⃣In early 2025, roughly 15,000 USDA positions were eliminated, and a USAID-funded monitoring project was terminated 3️⃣ The loss of specialized expertise as generations of entomologists retire

Sadly, I never did “buy the whole toy store” when I grew up, like I promised myself I would when I was 8 years old, and we could only afford the knock off Barbies. I do make regular trips to Dollar Tree though. 😉

Every once in a while out of nowhere I’ll start singing like that Tribal College Financial Aid character on Reservation Dogs. I’ll just be on my way in the car somewhere, and I’m all, “YAA, HEY YAH HEYYY, YAAA HEY YAH HEYY, FORRR-TEEE NIIIINE!” Hair swinging and everything. 😬

My sons are more hunter than gatherer, and therefore I got buffalo jerky for Mother’s Day! 😂🥰 It’s flipping delicious. The kids also made me elk hash and pancakes for my brunch. 🫶🏾

My ancestors hunted buffalo while riding bareback, and domesticated corn to feed entire continents. And here I am, losing the travel receipts I need to turn in for reimbursement.

As horrible and incompetent and viciously cruel as ICE Barbie was in her stint - the bar for her dismissal was STILL, higher than it is for 🍊. NOT a sympathy post by any means, good riddance. Noticing how she was loyal to him, and he still threw her away. Patriarchy is patriarch-ing. 💅🏽

The more I see the horrible in this world, the more I retreat into peace. I’m slowing down & breathing. Taking my tea & smudge. Bringing my children close & praying a LOT. Idk if this is my calm before I unleash, or if it’s a soft place made for my Littles. Maybe it’s both. Mothers are dragons.

Even the more forceful criticism of this war from elected officials isn't bringing up that we just killed more children than the Sandy Hook, Uvalde, Parkland, and Columbine shootings combined, which is intensely dispiriting in its own right.

Sadly, this is about the next election. He’s laying the groundwork to declare his election “emergency” to change rules and argue to courts they can’t question his national security judgment in war time. And if the Court does, he’s preparing to say that’s beyond their constitutional powers.
