Like clockwork, every generation of Indigenous tribal citizens has to stand before an ignorant white or non-Indigenous other person of color and swear by the Creator that yes, indeed, we do pay taxes just like everyone else.
I think I got cruised at lunch???
I think the children are reviving cruising so I never know if an AMAB adjusting his crotch while he looks at me is a cruise or just a dude being dudely, you know?

SWEET! Then, we revert to sovereign, domestic dependent nations as ruled on in the Marshall trilogy, operate under the provisions of treaty and we have the right to defend our borders. #Indigenous #HonorTheTreaties #sovereignty.
I see people posting that Elon was at Auschwitz this time last year - therefore, his recent "gesture" is not antisemitic. I was there, too. Last year. With Elon. I am embarrassed that I have photos of this on my phone. My love, Gidon Lev, was the "special guest" of this photo-op event. We thought, at the time, that it would be good publicity. But I would not share the photo today. I chatted with Elon Musk. I spent hours with him and walked with him through Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, and shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it's worse - he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience. For Gidon, to be in the place where his father, Ernst, died on a death march - whether shot by the side of the road or having simply collapsed - was a huge deal. Elon did not care. He was about his press junket and his bodyguards. I was ten feet from him as he posed for the cameras of his entourage. He was utterly detached. He cared about how he looked. When he placed a wreath at Auschwitz and Gidon was overlooked, he walked away with the cameras whirring. This is Elon Musk. A sociopath, if ever there was one. To deduce, from this visit, that he is a friend of the Jews is desperately naive.
Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."
She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.
Never not taking advantage of good lighting.
Not NOT my vibe the next four years.
11AM: How bad could the new administration be?
4PM: And Elon did that how many times?
Girl, itβs called a hat pin. All that Monopoly money and still you canβt dress yourself?
Some folks like to say OH I NEVER EVEN DOWNLOADED TIKTOK, I JUST DONβT GET INSTAGRAM, or I DONβT LIVE ON FACEBOOK LIKE OTHER PEOPLE DO.
And then I remember Iβm a free, childless queer and they havenβt seen a rated R movie in 18 years.
Logged out and uninstalled of all Meta properties for the week. Anyone remember that Simpsons episode where Lisa keeps calling the Corey Hotline and has to go cold turkey?
Yeah, me neither.

βNone of this is easy. None of this was easy to endure over a century ago. None of this was easy to heal from in the last century. And none of it will be easy to integrate into the collective identity of the United States of America.β
There are like 12 people in this generation who understand that reference and Iβm glad weβre two of them π€£π€£π€£
Step One: admit that you are powerless over social media, that your scrolling has become unmanageable.
I'm decidedly not switching to RedNote right now. Not because I'm a jingoist, but because I am deeply suspicious of the idea of being herded anywhere.
This is my baby Ada and she takes after her papa because loves to rend things asunder. She is my shero.
