I'm at bluesky now, because I refuse to let Elon Musk steal my words and my work.

In case you were wondering, I'm not here to debate with white supremacy, colonialism, and genocide. I'm here to burn them to the ground.

A colonial institution a few hundred years old cannot lessen cultural practices spanning time immemorial. Individuals can improperly use these practices, we are all fallible humans. A war dance in the belly of a colonial power is about as proper as it gets, as I see it.


GET BACK IN YOUR LANE

Extremely unpopular opinion (I suspect): hakas will not get Maori people their rights, just as Debka won't work for Palestinians. Anger, direct action, strikes, and serious disruptions will. There are very clear rules for effective political struggle, and indigenous culture is…

You think Indigenous peoples don’t know that? You think we believe we will powwow our way to justice? Openly defying a colonizing power with our culture tells our own that we are still here, we are still fighting, we will never stop. How non-Indigenous people react is on them.

this app is ran by a fascist, yes, but Palestinians have used this app to show us and tell us what is happening to them and it feels, to me, like y’all are abandoning them, and noting this transfer to somewhere else as revolutionary, without the voice of the oppressed


And it's a third and final, very short thread @WingsNDNSilver with tonight's urgent local mutual-aid needs:

Now, tonight's thread for urgent local mutual-aid needs. About 14 of us met up this morning [me masked; my first public event in 5 years] to try to lay a little groundwork. It was organized by the woman who runs the Taos Shelter Me outreach effort to unhoused folks w/pets.



And it's another short thread @WingsNDNSilver with tonight's pair of inventory selections — like today's feature, dual-strand cuffs set with phenomenal Skystone focals:

All right, tonight's inventory selections. Today's feature [shown below] is an all-new dual-strand cuff set with an extraordinary Skystone. So how about the other two dual-strand turquoise-focal cuffs in inventory? The new one is, with ultra-high-grade bird's-eye Kingman:

And finally, it's a third short thread @WingsNDNSilver with the three urgent local mutual-aid needs I'm pushing tonight:

Now, local mutual aid. I did not get to this last night, because I had a very bad episode yesterday [and a milder second one last night] of the sort that almost killed me more than once 7 years ago. I'm feeling a bit better today, if wrung out, but that's a pretty low bar.



And it's another short thread @WingsNDNSilver with tonight's [also-matching] inventory selections, this time not with stones of water and sky, but of earth and fire:

Now, tonight's inventory selections. Yes, you saw these last week, but 1) like today's featured pair of works [shown below], it's a perfectly matched cuff and pair of earrings; and 2) I *thought* I'd have another pair of earrings to go with them. The earrings had other ideas.
