I'm Sky, an #indigenous #nonbinary #transfem living in rural #Virginia

my partners, our son, and I need help

my partners are #disabled and entirely unable to work

I have #autism and #adhd (as well as #ptsd from being violently hate-crimed) but I still manage to hold a full-time job, but it doesn't pay enough

my water bill is almost three months late, I need $300 for it

I also need $100 for rent (I have the $500 due Sunday, but I still owe $100 for November)

I'll also need some additional money for food, as they cut back our food stamps

my goal is $500

please, if you can spare anything to send our way, we'd be so grateful

also, boost for visibility (thanks!) :boostRequest:

The Danes use psychometric tests to test the fitness of mothers, and take them away if they don’t pass. A Greenlandic mother had her baby taken away after two hours.

WTF

@bolsonaropreso Thanks for signing up on Earth.Law. We'll be glad to have you here for your stated use case. We're looking forward to seeing #Bolsonaro held accountable for his 2022 #coup attempt, but he must also be held accountable for his crimes against the #environment and its defenders in #Brazil, including #Indigenous #activists

Math teacher and artist Marilou Schultz, who is from the Navajo Nation, was commissioned by Intel in 1994 to make "Replica of a Chip," a woven wool piece that re-creates Intel's Pentium chip. @colossal explains how it was made, and what it represents — ideas around gendered labor, visibility and the meaning of progress. See it in real life at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, where it will be on display until March 2025.

"A discussão dos direitos indígenas na audiência de conciliação do STF hoje está sendo defendida por parlamentar da extrema direita e ruralistas nos seguintes termos:

Marco temporal SIM. Os indígenas vieram do Paraguai e da Venezuela. Xenofobia e racismo. Fórmula velha."

Opinion: The most consequential week for te ao Māori in a generation #Māori #NZ #Aotearoa #HīkoiMōTeTiriti #Indigenous #Indigedon #ToituTeTiriti

https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/11/16/opinion-the-most-consequential-week-for-te-ao-maori-in-a-generation/

For all you ignorant folk from foreign lands passing judgement on #Aotearoa #NewZealand #TreatyOfWaitangi understand this #TeTiritioWaitangi is unique to these islands. No where else on planet #Earth has the #indigenous people negotiated a treaty with their coloniser to maintain their rights and #sovereignty
As #Seymour admits there exists no legal precedent to compare to the beautiful promise of tangata whenua and tangata tiriti living together on a promise made 184 years ago. #ToituTeTiriti

#Solidarity between #indigenous peoples against #colonialism and genocide has happened for centuries, but #history books still spend most of their time on actions in the centres of power. Bias toward states and capital does not serve human interests and is meant to disempower us.

A float portrays Semitic people as black dogs labeled with the word "HASS" (hate), and as a woman in keffiyeh with a cartoonishly large nose on a float at this year's #Carnevale parade in #Cologne.

#Germans feel emboldened to parade the streets wearing #RedFace.

#Germany has attacked #SouthAfrica's genocide case against #Israel at the #ICJ more severely than any other nation. To show the world that they wont budge from their commitment to #genocide in #Palestine, they publicly celebrate the genocide of #indigenous nations.

He was also an athlete and competed in the NATO Games. He was a cross country skier, a distance runner, speed skater, and a sharpshooter. His professional competition sport was biathlon. He once told me that he was the one who came up with the skating style of cross country skiing, but I don't know about that. But who knows? He was a speed skater, so I'm sure the movement translated over to skiing naturally for him. #IndigenousVeteransDay #Indigenous #NATO #biathlon #CrossCountrySkiing #SpeedSkating #sports

Today is Indigenous Veterans Day, and I want to honour my Inuk/Mi'kmaw father, Chesley Powell. He was a peacekeeper in the 60s and very early 70s. He was exposed to all sorts of awful chemicals (PCBs and Agent Orange) which caused skin issues for him and likely caused the joint issues my sister, her daughter, and I were born with.

He was a private with the Black Watch and served in Cyprus, Israel, Jamaica, as well as in Canada during the FLQ Crisis.

He wasn't born in Canada but in Newfoundland when it was still a British colony. He ended up as the honour guard for Queen Elizabeth and her mother, probably because he looked very good in uniform. He was a very handsome man in his youth and made for primo arm candy.

Fun trivia: at one point, someone had the bright idea to change the way the Black Watch presented arms to the Queen. Previously, they all kneeled on both knees. On the occasion of the ill-thought-out change, they instead knelt on one knee with the other up. Considering they were all in kilts and were in full regimental mode, the Queen saw a lot of soldier junk swinging free. Dad was in the front row and totally flashed the Queen.

She didn't lose her composure but decreed that the Black Watch should go back to their previous method of presenting arms.
