Leona is an awesome human being, and a strong voice in the Sensitivity Consultation community of TTRPGs. If you can spare some money today to help them out, I would appreciate it!

I don't feel great about requesting this help, but I am pretty sure if I didn't and went hungry that some folks here would not be pleased with me, so here goes: I am traveling tomorrow and could use, like, 20 bucks for food and just general peace of mind en route. Context: I have a beloved aunt &

And I won't ever let you forget it

“Merciless Indian Savages.” These three words set into motion centuries of brutal anti-Native policy from the Indian Removal Act of 1830 to the Dawes Act to the reservation and boarding school systems — every policy carrying the weight of those three words into every new era.

Slavery is alive and well.

The NPS will launch 850,000 fireworks in the middle of the night. (Last year, they launched 7,000) That will dump perchlorates and heavy metals into the Potomac River and cause the amount of soot and smoke particles to skyrocket (pardon), at great danger to any creature that breathes.

Declaration of hypocrites 😉 REMEMBER what they did to the Native People - is what trump is doing to the American people now. Who's next? "Immigrant" is Republican code for POC - People of Color.

It seems like someone is trying to send a message.

Happy 4th

TBH this ain't even a complete map.

What an amazing framing of the photograph

As a Native Hawaiian that has suffered poverty, homelessness, & cultural erasure (my mom was beaten for speaking Hawaiian in school) in my homeland due to US imperial-capitalist military occupation since 1893, #July4th is not a very happy day. (Speech by Haunani-Kay Trask, 1993)

I know the world is burning but I remember once someone said "in glad you spoke up and asked for the help you needed", so here goes a thread. I could use some help getting out of a debt spiral where I'm surviving off of payday loans. Any little bit helps. #MutualAid ko-fi.com/theleonamapl...

Fascism's a fever you break with shit like what happened in New York last night. Create more excuses to feel things like that together.

Excited to hear about the upcoming game, "Our Lives, Our Fortunes" from @wetinkgames.bsky.social ! Fingers crossed that they are working with a cultural consultant from the Native tribes involved in that conflict. As someone who from a Native community in New England... It's a loaded subject.

Good morning, Honolulu! We are at Tabletop Oahu, sponsoring Pā Kōnane in a "Learn to Play Kōnane" workshop today! Stop on by if you are in town, and learn to play Kōnane, a traditional Hawaiian board game invented centuries ago!

In not so shocking news, the Imperial Forces of America continue to target Indigenous leaders who favor plurinationalism and protecting indigenous sovereignty over their natural resources.

Indigenous people in Bolivia have also surrounded the house of Evo Morales to protect him.

The amount that this message made me just start celebrating is a little unmodest. And I care not. @higgins802.com or @76trombones.bsky.social - Have I tried to convince you about the good word of Marathon yet?

From Marathon's Game Director, Joe Ziegler: "UPDATE: FREE KIT FRENZY - EXPERIMENTAL QUEUE - DIRE MARSH SPONSORED Thank you to all of you who participated in the Duos Experiments we've had over the past few weeks. (1/13)

🧵You may think I'm writing with a tinfoil hat on but mark my words: They are going to make Natives choose between their Native Nations and their so called united states citizenship. I know they will because they've done it before. The Natives that enrolled under the dawes act,

Making progress despite not sharing as much as I should be given the urgency of the situation. But thank you all so much, 8% of the goal is funded thanks to a sold painting, which will be making its way to its new home today. ko-fi.com/johnniejae/g...

See the trailer for @dimension20.dropout.tv's new season, Purpee, does make me long for more #KOllOK1991 from Hyper RPG and Zac Eubank. Also, is Purpee in Massachusetts? Because that's a Massachusetts town sign and Massachusetts state flags in that trailer.

A nice surprise from the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, a physical copy of my certificate proclaiming that I am a registered Choctaw Artist.

I can’t wait until I get to watch the Oscars or Emmies sometime in the next few years and get to scream about whatever dress Vic wears when they’re nominated. ‘Cause that is absolutely happening.

The largest rent strike in a century? The Minnesota unions behind the massive Jan. 23 day of action are now backing a potential rent strike to demand an eviction moratorium. At least 10K could withhold rent starting March 1. Here's what to know (1/6) inthesetimes.com/article/ice-...

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Anti-Indigenous rhetoric & policy actions are trending in Canada, Australia, the US and New Zealand, reflecting what can only be described as a coordinated rollback of hard-won gains and an emboldened backlash against Indigenous self-determination. icmagazine.org/anti-indigen...

"America invented modern democracy!" No, that's propaganda. You stole it from the Haudenasaunee Confederacy, just like you stole the land, and even then, the chiefs looked at the draft you wrote up and were like, "here's a dozen different ways this will fail because of how you've written it"

Happy to be out at the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum to support the Ka Makou Kōnane tournament! With 32 players, this event is a qualifier for the tournament next week which will feature players from all over the Islands competing to play on the historic papamū held by the Bishop Museum!

Markiplier's Iron Lung reportedly cost under $3M to make, and it's already made $9m million in two days. That movie is going to make great money, and apparently he self-financed it? That rules.
