Comic test with Melina’s dialogue at the capital

do not forget about reservations.

do not forget about the people on reservations.

when you are making and reading posts about dire predictions for quality of life, do not forget about reservations.

we already have issues accessing clean water. we already experience devastation from climate change. we are already going missing for our race. we are already being murdered for our culture.

it will only get worse.

it’s possible to live through. every single person indigenous to north america has a chance to live through this. i’m not trying to fear monger; i’m trying to remind you.

please do not forget about us when you assure people that “everything will be okay; people are living under far worse circumstances in other countries”.

people are living under far worse circumstances here. and it can get worse. and it will get worse. and we need you to remember that we’re here when it happens.

not as punchy, but adding onto this:

What are Indigenous issues that I and the Natives I know are worried about?

- Pipelines affecting water

- Pipelines destroying protected land/land under treaty

- Pipelines are already factually epicenters of the MMIW+ crisis

- Substance abuse and suicide rates

- Directly related to the above, IHS funding

- Tariffs affecting gaming revenue, which is often used significantly in our communities’ funding

- Not a huge systemic issue, but a bummer: no more Native secretary of the interior

- ICWA. holy fuck. ICWA.

- The DoE only being allowed to teach sanitized genocide-denial schlock.

anyone who says "X can't happen here!": it is already happening here. and if it isn't now, it has in the past and can again.

No, Google Docs, there is a distinct difference between "cussing" and "cursing."

Calling google ‘googie’ is such a power move imo

Tis indeed! Thank you for this addition. Here are some photo examples of the Googie style.

IT HAS A PROPER NAME?!

posts that provide surprise knowledge, balancing out posts that provide net zero knowledge gained, what a rich ecosystem we live in

Steve From “Blue’s Clues” Just Checked In On “The Kids He Raised” And Gave Them A Safe Space To Offload After Donald Trump’s Election Victory.

Interestingly, Steve doesn’t even speak in the 59-second video, but appears to give viewers a comforting presence as he enters the outdoors shot and “offers them” a hot drink.

And many of the comments thanked Steve for offering them this safe space, with one person writing: “As a trans man, I felt this to my core. I took the breath with you then started bawling. Thank you.”

“The man who is a staple of my childhood didn’t say a single word and it brought me to tears. Steve, thank you. I don’t know where we go from here,” somebody else wrote.

Another popular comment reads: “He didn’t say A WORD and said everything at the same time. This man should be guarded at all costs.”

“Neither of my dads checked in on me today. But you did Steve. Thank you,” one more acknowledged.

“So much responsibility on Steve’s hands to make sure we are okay. We need to make sure he’s doing okay too. I mean I’m not doing great, but he’s still looking after the kids he raised,” somebody else added.

While another concluded: “I bet you didn’t think you’d still be raising us all these years later, Steve, but thank you for still being here.”

For those who are not on TikTok or have never had Steve show up on their FYP, there is some very important context missing here...

Steve's whole page is just him asking the viewer how they are doing and then remaining silent while "listening" very intently. The comments are then filled with people updating him on how they are.

This is why the post-election post hit so hard for folks.

He didn't ask how we are doing.

He didn't need to.

He just gives us a mug of our favorite hot beverage and a thoughtful nod, then stands with you for a minute, listening, just to let you know that none of us are alone.

Tried to figure out how I've been running these things and I came up with this

SO MUCH THIS. it drives me up a fucking WALL when people call male witches wizards

my take on this

Building a home for a toadlet

NOTHING will prepare u for how tiny this guy is

Me watching the prep: That’s gonna be WAY too small for him to live in!

Me seeing the amphibian: Objection withdrawn.
