Yakoke! Thank you, had a $40 ko-fi come through and only -$55.29 to go and one step closer to dropping this butthole of a bank.

When you are up at 3:30 am to argue with your bank for charging you 5 overdraft fees because of their system. On the 1st I had one of two fraudulent charges hit my account that overdrafted me by $73. I was able to get those charges reversed and it showed them pending on my account.

Filming now in Tucson and premiering May 2026 at the Fox Theatre, they could use your support to help cross the finish line. You can help support the film by donating to their gofundme: www.gofundme.com/f/they-wait

“This film isn’t just a horror story. It’s a ceremony, a confrontation, and a mirror.” They Wait, directed by David J. Aberle (Diné) and starring Jon Santaanta Proudstar, is an Indigenous horror film that blends spirit, story, and truth. redpopnews.com/this-film-is... #redpopnews #indigisky

In our interview, Daryl talks about experimenting with styles and mediums, the role family and community play in shaping his creativity, and why he refuses to chase stereotypes of what “Native art” should be. redpopnews.com/creating-his...

Navajo and Taos Pueblo artist Daryl Begaye didn’t set out to become an artist. He first studied computer science, but family encouragement and a spark of curiosity brought him back to art. redpopnews.com/creating-his... #redpopnews #nativeart #nativeartists

“This new space will stand as a testament to our strength and thriving presence,” says Amanda Cheromiah (KawaiKa-Laguna Pueblo), executive director of the Center for the Futures of Native Peoples (CFNP) and granddaughter of six Carlisle students. redpopnews.com/jim-thorpes-... #Redpopnews

It's common knowledge that for being as smart as I am academic wise, I am not exactly the brightest crayon in the box in any other aspect. I can no longer argue that it's not true. I've been squinting, sitting here wearing the magnifying glasses i got to help me bead.

Beautifully said. Reconnecting with that truth might be the key to our collective healing.

If you're in LA and having a hard time finding screenings for the Prey/Predator: Badlands screenings, AMC 16 in Burbank still has seats for tomorrow at 4 pm and El Capitan still has tickets too! elcapitantheatre.com/showings/pre... #predatorbadlands #prey #losangeles #indigisky #horrorsky

This also very much applies to the Boreal Forest that is 60% of the area of Canada and the Great Plains. #LandBack

if you're enjoying my bluesky convos, follow @redpopnews.bsky.social & @truthout.org where you'll find my journalism. I just started Red POP! News in May & despite having no budget to advertise beyond posting to the socials, managed to build a small following of consistent readers in 53 countries!

I got notice about this in the mail and for years diabetics have literally been begging folks to be mindful when discussing their use of GLP-1s and begging journalists to be mindful of how they report on these medications because of what is happening now. calmatters.org/commentary/2...

About Teen Vogue, I don't read or care much for a lot of mainstream media, but Teen Vogue is the only consistent non-Native media outlet that has always done an incredible job reporting on Native issues and giving our talent a platform to shine and not just to fill their "diversity" quota.

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

Land back isn't a slogan, it is an existential necessity. We can't just listen to indigenous voices, we need to support them. Fund them. Elect them. Follow them.

My interview for The Self-Advocate to discuss #NationalIndigenousDisabilityAwarenessMonth will be airing today on Vancouver Co-Op Radio and will be available tomorrow on podcasting platforms. coopradio.org/shows/the-se... #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #Indigisky

November is both #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth and #NationalIndigenousDisabilityAwarenessMonth, a time to honor who we are, where we come from, and who still gets left out of the story. johnniejae.com/the-overlook...

You know the most infuriating thing I've learned about the waste of government dollars? It's that at the end of the year, a lot of depts and contractors who have gotten government money make a mad dash to spend or return what's left. What do they buy?

just finished @sgj.bsky.social 's Earthdivers Omnibus.... wow. just an astounding storyline, Indigenous horror and futurism, all wrapped in the past. too good.

The Tall Man walks again. 👣 Legend Hunterz: Bigfoot in Oklahoma just premiered, bringing Indigenous knowledge, community voices, and cryptid investigation together in one powerful story. redpopnews.com/legend-hunte... #redpopnews #bigfoot #cryptid #indigisky #horrorsky

It is officially November 1 and the start of Native American Heritage Month as well as National Indigenous Disability Awareness Month. I highly suggest you follow these folks because they are brilliant and just some of the coolest folks ever. go.bsky.app/MEaiVa9

Watched Seeds. 👍👍 Best lines from Kaniehtiio's character Ziggy are in this scene: "You know, I was taught that we all have gifts. And tonight, I'm realizing that one of my gifts is the ability to exact revenge on my enemies with no remorse whatsoever." Take a bite out of the heart of your enemy.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FOR NATIVES WHO LOVE HORROR FROM MYSELF AND @grimnative.bsky.social shouts to the amazing @johnniejae.bsky.social for trusting me with this and I'm excited to see the community we can build and things we can create!

In addition to my shop, we still have our ko-fi goal that is inching closer to completion and has so far helped pay towards our rent, electric bill, car payment, insurance. and receipts have been added to previous posts for transparency. ko-fi.com/johnniejae/g...

These two were done with neon, blacklight reactive acrylics. Super fun to do! You can get these in my shop and I am heading to the post tomorrow to mail off a previous order, so if you order tonight, it will ship out tomorrow. www.ko-fi.com/johnniejae/shop

Like many folks I work way too hard to be this broke, to struggle this much, but it is what it is and once. The first is nigh and not only need help with rent but to also make up the $150 I usually get with SNAP. I just added two new paintings to my shop at ko-fi.com/johnniejae/s...

Here are 13 must-see Indigenous horror films that will linger long after the credits roll and the screen goes dark. Don’t watch alone. redpopnews.com/13-terrifyin...

From the Arctic to the desert, from the spirit world to the living, Indigenous filmmakers are breaking new ground in horror with stories that scare and haunt every bit as much as they heal and empower.

Indigenous horror isn’t just about the things that exist in the shadows or go bump in the night. It’s truth, memory, and the stories that refuse to stay buried, that we refuse to let stay buried. redpopnews.com/13-terrifyin... #redpopnews #indigisky #indigenoushorror #horror

These reads don’t just scare you; they speak to the marrow of what it means to reclaim space in a genre that has too long stolen our stories while silencing our voices.

From generational trauma, hauntings, and the spiritual reckonings that echo through our blood memory, Indigenous writers are reshaping what fear and survival look like, and who gets to tell the story.

Indigenous horror may seem new to many, but it is ancient. It is born from stories that carry lessons, warnings, and survival through generations. What is new is seeing those stories retake their rightful space in the contemporary horror landscape. redpopnews.com/13-must-read... #redpopnews

With #Sinners back in theaters today, thought I'd reshare the article I wrote about the Choctaw Vampire Hunters and why that moment didn't NEED to be centered more even tho we would all love to see more of their story. redpopnews.com/sinners-give... #redpopnews

Look how freakin cool these are!

Not giving clicks to a certain VP who has decided to spread some old lies about Natives. So instead, how about following us? Listen to @johnniejae.bsky.social , @littlebadger.bsky.social @simplyaretha.com @rebeccanagle.bsky.social @sgj.bsky.social @waatsasdiyei.bsky.social Drop more ⬇️

90% of my favorite horror authors are Indigenous. there’s a huge difference between “I loved this scary book” and “oh no I have to lie down about this,” and Indigenous horror has basically perfected the latter.

Buffalo Hunter Hunter is exceptional.

Many of you have been watching our contract fight at the L.A. Times and asking how to help. Now's the time. Tell our managers that you'll honor the picket line if negotiations drag to a point where we're forced to call a strike. You can sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

The Stories in Fever Dreams of a Parasite, by Pedro Iniguez, are a downer in a good way. Purveyors and Puppets was particularly fun and daft and I especially liked the titular story (aka Body of Work) and The Body Booth. Gross + weird + fashion/art = good!
