Vákurih means "to go into the water, as the sun goes down" in the Karuk language. Hopefully her grandchildren will begin rematriation of kelp forests (CA has lost 95% of bull kelp habitat) by resuming predation of the purple sea urchins that are tribbling out of control.

I'm getting ready to head up north again. I'm sincerely excited to check on Vákurih my adopted sunflower sea star. Look at her purpley cuteness, she is an escape artist who loves to visit her bff Javier in the next tank over, she loves her rock & eating sea urchin meatballs.

I ranted too close to the sun on threads and needed to get out of town so I'll be vacationing on this app for a couple days. Promise I won't drive up the cost of living or try to gentrify your neighborhoods, it's more like witness protection.

The “we” in that statement is doing a lot of heavy lifting first of all. Second, “progress is being made” is untrue, progress would be if we are at pre-colonization levels of freedom & then added some universal health care on top. Instead half this country is still ok with killing brown kids.

And we didn't need permission to marry our partners pre-colonization. We didn't need a law to be whole, some of our tribes had 13 genders before the unwashed arrived on our shores. At no point has this country ever been cool. It has always been a genocidal eugenics factory. Why don't you know that?

The 60s: US government sought to terminate tribal sovereignty, the medical community sterilizing Black & Indigenous women without consent, boarding schools still active, churches kidnapping our children & adopting them to white families—breadcrumbs may fill you up but my point remains.

Oakland folks: Having dinner with friends from out of town on Saturday, any recommendations for 5-6 people that might still take a reservation or not need one? We're going to Wahpepah's Kitchen tonight. And I think we're all foodies, but we're also rez, so basically we fuck with everything🧃

I got my freshly 12 yo godson a Stranger Things dungeons & dragons game for his birthday and friends he is reading. the. instructions. locked in. We'll be operational nerds by the time it starts raining this week I'm so excited. 🤘
Photo of my living room: my godson has covered the floor with D&D Detritus. He has the Stranger Things edition, there is a large map of Oakshore docks spread out on the floor. He is intently reading character sheets. He has stranger things playing in the background for added vibes.

At Prism, we feel strongly that community education is community care. It takes careful cultivation by human hands to nurture information into insight that helps people understand the conditions & needs of their communities—& that’s what makes education such a threat to oppressive regimes.

Anyway I am so proud for these students, they are doing the most while getting the least amount of funding & support. Funders, divest from western academia & the anemic work they're doing, invest in the development of Indigenous knowledges because those building blocks will shelter us all.

Sára 🍞 @ndntacocat.bsky.social · 10/12/2025
And our students are willing to do all of this work on the same campus where non-Native department heads & professors are intellectually holding everyone back because they're too stodgy, lazy & fragile to sit with hard questions that might lead to changing the way they do science.

When the final project looks almost nothing like the original proposal, seeing how the journey evolved with the input of local Indigenous people—it is a marvel of community science, a multi-disciplinary intersectional building block complete with data sovereignty & generational engagement.

Western academia won't engage with tribes, they can't fathom de-centering themselves & have low thresholds for discomfort, they rely on their colonial entitlement to space & funding. Our students learn to sit with discomfort & embrace any changes needed for community repair to steer the science.

How do people in academia hold it together when the grad students you advise present their thesis because I am so emotional. I don't think anybody knows how powerful & brilliant Indigenous students are, their work is unlike anything western academia has ever produced.

Bluesky made me verify my age & wouldn't let me put a 1 in the year field, it kept flashing back to 0. Anyway, according to this app I was born in 0977. My grandma's computers at her work had big flashing green digits on computers shaped like space eggs & they never fucked up a date in their lives.

the core idea that can radicalize people is so simple: there is enough. there is enough food to feed everyone. enough resources to house everyone. money and technology and medicine to stop the suffering of people around the globe. once you accept that there's only one question: why don't we?

I learn from my Mother who learned from her Grandmothers (skipped her father, boarding school generation) & Grandfathers. I pass it along to the college students who build projects that engage with even younger children and that is how we mend connection & grow as a people in the present? amazing.

The grad student I advise is defending her thesis next week. I'm so proud for her & all these kids out here busting their muffins to rise up—so powerfully bright & driven. I'm not usually emotional but I keep leaking tears for her & feeling grateful for a continuing chain of generational connection.

I used to work for Girl Scouts (US Girl Guides) & I was proud of their inclusiveness, all were welcome! the point of the org is any person can be a leader. Leadership in the workplace, science, the home, whatever your future held you would be prepared. It’s what Juliette wanted. This is sickening.

I’ve had to adjust my talking points to use “mutual aid” so people can connect that to community food security. Like as soon as people hear “community” their eyes glaze over. Mutual aid though? activate light bulbs.

Well, I know that in my family, a lot of the James Garner discourse really dropped off after my grandma died last year. But sure I can dish about this legend. Lorraine was partial to circa 1974 Rockford Garner (example seen here with binoculars & beige & navy suit.)

Neem’s is right there too, a badass Indigenous woman (Palestine) who stands on cultural business. I like my food story-forward I guess lol
