Kinanaskomitin, love. You are kind. I hope your day is gentle. ❤️
"You need the ocean for this: to stop believing in reality. To ask yourself impossible questions. To not know. To cease knowing. To become intoxicated by the smell. To close your eyes. To stop believing in reality."

The judges of the annual prize for female and nonbinary writers praised Lubrin's debut short story collection, Code Noir, for breaking "new ground in short fiction."
As an anthropologist, if the only thing I ever did all day was remind people that before the privatization and commodification of land humans had way more free time and peace of mind, it would still not do a dent in how deep this myth has burrowed into people's colonized minds like a parasite

the river we call ka-kisiskaciwan.* Often we camp near the elbow of the South Branch, but sometimes we go even farther south to minatinähk, many nights from here. Or we go west towards the mountains to visit relatives. "This is our physical world. It is a good world, a world of plenty for the Nehiyaw, the Nehiyawak. Exact body. Exact body of people.

It gives water, which we call the milk of Mother Earth, so that Mother Earth can nurture us. The Creator planned it this way. Okimaw-piyesiw, who is in the south, gives us the water that we need to live…
