"In these United States of America, this great country of ours, we American Indians, we can be anything we want to be except American Indians." -Russell Means (Oglala Lakota)

Trans people are under attack by an administration looking for scapegoats. Besides this list of organizations, donate to individual trans folks asking for help and contact your reps to tell them you won't support anyone who doesn't support trans rights. www.them.us/story/orgs-f...

Getting on the road early morning.

It's quite a nice afternoon.

Remember, they hate trans joy, they hate gay joy, they hate Black joy, they hate Native joy, etc. they hate when we can laugh and love and live our lives in our own skin. They hate that we can find our way without their rigid rules. To find joy and thrive is a great act of resistance too.

We're all going through an emotional time; me included. Be kind to each other friends.

One of the things I think I see in this society is not that people aren't spiritual, but rather that people are spiritually wounded, and they have not been given time or the means to heal.

“Do you believe in me like I used to? Do you see the good in me?” a very personal comm for a dear friend. #furry #furryart #oc #commission #vent

artists aren’t the fucking bourgeois or “elite”. every artist i know can barely make rent. every artist i know is one severe enough hospital bill away from being homeless. we’re not all banksy or andy warhol. sick of this idea being passed around as we deal with companies exploiting us constantly.

Shoutouts to those of us working service, retail, call center, warehouse, etc. We exist too. You just might not see us as much because we can’t afford shit as the bottom falls out

I get weary about white people getting close to, commenting on, or involving themselves in conflicts between Native individuals and Native groups that have nothing to do with them. Do you ever stop being blood-sucking ticks on our land? Settlers gonna settler.

Any help is greatly appreciated still need to pay $950 to the mortgage this month asap as we still owe $6050!! Absolutely anything helps! Please share if you see this post please! #CrowdFund #crowdfunding #MutualAidBoost #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest

Thank you whoever that was that donated the repair! I'm all set.

I appreciate the shares but I'm gonna try my best to get through it without donations. I'm frustrated with the way medical care is so expensive. I know I'm not the only one going through this, it's just taking so many of my funds every month.

Can't post anything on this site without getting random bots with AI generated responses, why do I even bother.

Membership tiers are now available as another way to support me over on my kofi! Tiers start at $10 and exclusive perks/rewards are available for all tier levels! This'll be a good way to give back to those who help me do what I do❤️ Regular comms are closed this month- ko-fi.com/straycattras...

If you're new, you like my stuff, or you'd like to continue to help my music career, a reminder that you can donate to my paypal. Support a trans, Native musician: paypal.me/yapavimusic

I just open my mouth a little bit and I get all sorts of random new followers. Nice to meet you all. I'm nothing special, just another random furry on Bsky.

Thank you to everyone who helped me out! I deleted my last post. I appreciate you all greatly and this will help me recover from the expenses I had to make recently.

Posting this for someone who is in need of getting more commissions to make ends meet. I've commissioned her before and she does great art. www.instagram.com/p/Cn5BRiKpz1...

I know I'm not active very much. I'm still processing something that has been very difficult. I have good and bad days, but overall just haven't been able to keep up with social media much anymore.

✨️A LITTLE LESS THAN 300 LEFT TO GO ON OUR GOAL!!! ANY AMOUNT IS HUGELY APPRECIATED!! BOOSTS ALSO HELP GET THIS SEEN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!✨️

Please if you can help, these are good Indigenous folks in need of some aid. Every little bit helps.

Today will be better. The healing can begin now. ❤️

Fellow queer natives in texas rn, im with you. There is no way im leaving either. It's horrible, but it's the battle we've always faced.

I'm just horrifically sad tonight...

It's so hard to exist when even friends don't wonder how you're doing in a time like this, knowing I'm trans & Native. I feel the weight of all the hatred on me today, and I feel too tired to fight back. I feel like just letting it crush me. I don't know how else to describe what I'm feeling.

Here's the moment MPP Sol Mamakwa for Kiiwetinoong was removed from the legislature. He was removed for saying the Premier is telling "untruths" about First Nations and Bill 5. "That is the truth,” he replied when he was asked to withdraw his comments. Bill 5 must be scrapped. #onpoli #bill5

With Jonathan Joss's hate crime death, I'm having severe flashbacks to Nex Benedict here, and not in a good way. And Nex was Native too. Please start to put two-and-two together. Our queerness and Nativeness - and their struggle - are not separate. Your queerness must relate to ours.

Please don't just say "Jonathan Joss's death was a hate crime THIS IS WHY WE NEED PRIDE MONTH." No. Jonathan Joss was queer and Comanche. This hate crime was because he was gay and Native. The two are intrinsically linked. THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO DISMANTLE COLONIAL AND CAPITAL AMERICA.

One reason I'm not on social media as much anymore is that I can only handle so much of seeing progressives not care about Indigenous rights. It has taken too much out of me. Pride Month comes around, & Indigenous queer folks continue to be the most invisible. I'm tired. People don't care.

It is really sad to say, but some Native people do practice spiritual abuse. Just because you know a Native person who mistreats eagle feathers, or willfully ignores a taboo doesn't mean you have a right to. If you are non-Native, do your research. If you are Native, expand your understanding.

Another year my cancer hasn't come back. Another year cancer free. My latest scan came back negative. ❤️

I was in Sacramento, California last week and came across this sign by the state capital.

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

Oh my gawd!!

Social media gave me a place to be my true self. I can't be my true self around most of my family. I can't be my true self in a lot of spaces; but social media is so toxic that I had to pull back. Then I wondered if I'd be forgotten. Would I be lonely or would I be relieved?

Urgent commissions! I don't normally make a plea like this but I'm still out of work and had a recent medical emergency which is putting me in debt.. So I'm offering profile commissions of characters as you see here. Price: 25$ each. DM me if interested! Sharing also helps! #commission #ych #furry

I have a Signal account though I'm going to keep it to pretty close friends. For anyone else though you can still add me on Discord, just let me know if you'd like to add me.

I'm Indigenous and transgender. I'm also a musician and have written two songs about being trans for you to enjoy on this day or any day. #tdov #transdayofvisibility tonyasong.bandcamp.com/track/profou... tonyasong.bandcamp.com/track/a-home...

One of the hardest things to learn about the Native way of thinking is saving the lives of small creatures like spiders in your home. It is easier to kill them. But once you can save them, you will hear them speak to you in gratitude. One spider said to me, "Thank you for the rideshare. Five stars."

Denver Powwow footage Announcer speaks of our warrior spirits & of all we gave to the government. Did you know that recently, the Department of Defense deleted the history of the Navajo Code talkers & native veteran info from its website, only to restore SOME of the info after public outcry?

Wise words from Russell Means over a video by Peternotsowhite on Instagram. Please give him a follow. He's an amazing teacher, dancer, motivational speaker, and advocate for health & wellness.

I haven't posted here in a bit. Figure I'd share this video I took yesterday in the prairie where there were beautiful waves through the prairie grass which is one of my favorite things about this part of the country. It sings to my heart. So mesmerizing.

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost. They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong. Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread
