This sucks. My agent left the industry, and now I’m agentless again. While I won't be sharing details, I admit things had not been great for a while, and looking back we weren't a great fit.

Seeing a lot of "No Kings" protests groups using AI images lately You aren't resisting fascism by using their tools Be better than that

Lots of us have great-grandparents names who were absolutely changed when they came here, and when people say otherwise, they're assuming your great-grandparents name was in the Roman alphabet.

Big news! A stolen 16th Century manuscript—signed by Hernandarias in 1598—was returned to Paraguay after a failed $28K sale. It outlined rules for treating Indigenous people. Some were early reforms—but captivity persisted. Shoutout to NBU’s Dr. Guillaume Candela, who helped confirm it was real.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

some Native elders could get ICE raided too and we're not talking about that (for insight, some were only on census & don't even have their birth certificate since we only got citizenship in 1924 & many weren't enrolled until 1940/50s - that's how recent we become 'legal' instead of 'illegal' here)
