"The owner of a hotel in South Dakota was found liable on Friday for discrimination against Native Americans. The owner of the Grand Gateway Hotel in Rapid City will pay tens of thousands of dollars in damages to various plaintiffs who were denied service. nativenewsonline.net/currents/sou...

Imagine what would happen here in New Mexico where 50% of the citizen population is brown & Hispanic? What about our Native American brother & sisters?

Bill to place 40 acres at the #WoundedKnee massacre site under protection of the Oglala & Cheyenne River Sioux Tribes passes in both the Senate & House and awaits Trump's signature. The US Cavalry massacred 350-375 Lakota people there on Dec. 29 1890. nativenewsonline.net/currents/wou...

Lost an elder in her 90s today. Went by to see her but she had already walked on, all I could do was hold her cold hand and visit with her folks.

If anyone is wondering what happened to the poem of the day, they are still happening, but they aren't going onto social media due to the likelihood that they will be scraped for AI.

I am working away and wondering the best way to remove AI from my life. I don't want to see inhuman content. Similarly I don't want skills I have spent a lifetime developing scraped & degraded by a program. Leaving social media is likely the best option.

It's that no one checks the vibes hard enough when things get weird and doesn't bother to read up on the history of organizing and the CIA constantly interfering. If you don't know your history you won't have a future. Ops are inevitable. Learn how to spot them. Stop tolerating edgelords.

Turned in another comic to another publisher. Only one more to go and I'll be done for the year. I've done 4 since october. Then onward to the secret project and editing another book, trying to clear time to get back to work on the #landback novel. I feel like I'm grinding myself into a fine paste.

@safety.bsky.app @aaron.bsky.team banned a woman immediately after her husband was kidnapped by ICE pass it on

Tom Cotton would not even be in Congress, were it not for the huge defense contractors supporting him from the beginning and keeping him flush with cash.

seems like murder to me

The only conclusion to draw at this point is that the Bluesky moderation team and C suite are racist. They made an example of an autistic Black man and have never said a word despite overwhelming community support for Link. I spent a lot of time and energy advocating for this place and I regret it.

Just a reminder that Newsom grew up in a rich family, went to school on a baseball scholarship, and immediately found a billionaire to financially back his vineyard. And also he’s related to Nancy Pelosi. He does not know what normal is. He’s completely out of touch and telling you to be “normal”.

Man that is NOT gonna turn out for you the way you think

i am once again begging non-Indigenous people to mind they own bidness

If the first thing someone does when they find out they're Native (usually by using blood quantum btw) is to sell something. That's a red flag.

It fits neatly into eugenics based ideas that our identity is founded in "blood" not community or culture. A disconnected person for whom rumored "blood" is a pass being used to drown out the voices of people who are invested in their culture and their community is an injury to everyone involved.

Two more comic scripts finished, only two more to write and 2025 will be in the can.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Elatsoe is not just one of the best YA books I’ve read. It is one of the best stories I’ve ever read.

My article with The Texas Observer is now online! The title means “return to the land of many houses,” which is our (Lipan Apache) word for home. In this article, I write about the rematriation of an elder (my relative) who lived in KÍŁÁÁHÍÍ about 750 years ago. www.texasobserver.org/lipan-apache...

Hopefully when I meet all my 2025 deadlines I can get back to my poem a day habit. The only thing that gives me pause is the concern that some asshole will scrape them for us of their AI.

If anyone would like a chance to see me in person I will be at Duke in NC talking about Indigenous Comics and Futurism. I will be sitting atop of a beautiful pile of comics, books, and beautiful beautiful stickers.

In South Dakota, Indigenous children make up only 13% of the child population, but 74% of children in the foster care system. This is so harmful to families and children. www.theguardian.com/world/video/...

If anyone wants to see me in person this weekend I will be at Duke manning/womaning/humaning the Green Archer Booth at IPX.

We are very proud to be sponsoring this year's #indigipopx at Duke University! Our favorite writer, @weyodi.bsky.social will be there selling copies of The Clock #1! Pick up your copy of the first NTP-powered super hero comic and talk to Weyodi about her plans for the rest of the story!

Grateful to everyone who has been posting pix of their newly arrived copies of Read This When Things Fall Apart! Thank you for reading, and thank you for helping to get the word out. ❤️

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

"AI" won't clean your drinking water (data centres will slurp that up anyway) "AI" won't lower your bills (algorithmic pricing will take whatever you have left) "AI" won't improve services (a racist chatbot isn't going to help you) Magic beans are a bad investment (unless you're selling them)

It’s disheartening to see Teen Vogue dissolved into Vogue and its political team let go. For years, it was one of the few mainstream spaces that made room for honest, radical commentary on justice, inequality & the world we actually live in. I’m grateful it gave me a home for so many of my op-eds

Mutual Aid needed as SNAP benefits were cut and I have no way of getting food for the month! Below are ways to help and thank you to all the contributions and the collaborators who helped get this word out! Venmo: Jasper-Steinline CashApp: $sideshowguyo7 PayPal: @ isaacjasper

In other good news, my health is starting to turn around, I just need to keep up the momentum.

Another submission made. With any luck 2026 will be the year I become an unescapable nuisance, with writing everywhere.

Starvation is always a policy choice. Just like homelessness.

"No, you see, you don't understand governance-- we're holding the food hostage until we can take away your healthcare, duh!"

Give 'em hel Mamdani!

perfect optics event to hold right as 40 million americans will increasingly struggle to get food with SNAP benefits expiring

SNAP being cut/paused the first of Native Heritage month is the most American bullshit ever. ensuring community is fed & taken care, you’re checking on neighbors and treating the most vulnerable like kin is a great way to “celebrate” Native Heritage month.

If you haven't seen me much it's because I am wrestling with finishing a metric ass ton of work due before 2026.

Four days before the Louvre heist catapulted museum security to the global stage, thieves in California snatched more than 1,000 items, including Native American artifacts, from a Bay Area museum.

Slowly chipping away at the work in front of me, two writing assignments finished, now to cook some halloween treats. Time to make CANDY CORN !!!!!!!!!!!!

No horror movie comes close to the horror of the climate crisis. The worst part? It’s already here. We are seeing the devastation of our heating world happening in real time. The people in charge can still change this.

I'm going to be here. You all should come, too. www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

I am committed to compiling a NC research triangle area media list in the next 24 hours but if anyone has one concealed conveniently about their person I would appreciate getting a peek at it. In other words, does anyone have a list of NC research triangle media for a press release?

Every day I am going to post this (permission from Del Schilling). Will you join me? Over 5700+ Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls #MMIWG #cdnpoli

There's a chance that the kidnappers & murderers of Indigenous females are out in the cities of America continuing their evil ways right now. They've already so-called lost some of the detained/deported victims. Others were allowed to die. A lot more have died than have been reported.🙁
