Hey y’all 👋🏽
It’s been a moment since I posted to my personal account so here’s an #Introduction post!

I’m a New Texican living in Yelamu on Ramaytush Ohline Land cultivating a heart-first world of liberation.

I am two spirit which is being #trans and #indigenous. I remember the long history of two spirit spiritual and community leaders that colonization took from us.

This is my fun Mastodon! So you’ll find me sharing sustainable #cooking, getting lost in #nature, and crafting #art and #storytelling

Call Congress! Support farm workers!

#RootedResource #activism

SB6045, a bill to allow farm worker collective bargaining in WA state, will soon be voted on in WAs Senate. This bill is critical for WA farm workers like those at Windmill mushroom who have been fighting to get a contract since 2022. Take action today: https://act.seiu.org/a/waorganizingbillsenate?ms=m

This is how fascism works. Under the table bullying until corporations who were barely doing enough stop all together.

As Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Janelle Johnson, explained on the @roots of change podcast, MAHA is an old white supremacist playbook and why our societal perceptions surrounding disability are so skewed.

The FDA decided not to even review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccines for approval, even though the studies the FDA would be reviewing were conducted the way the FDA told Moderna to do them.

Now #Moderna expects that none of its other #mRNA #vaccines will be reviewed, and has halted studies on vaccines for EBV, HSV, and shingles.

A lot of people with herpes would be angry if they found out.

A lot of people who have family members with #MS -- now thought to be caused in part by EBV -- will be livid.

It’s a Strike! 🎳
San Francisco Teachers go on strike for the first time since 1979! They are demanding better pay, healthcare, and to maintain services in schools like disability support for students.The whole city is out to support SFUSD and vibrating with organizing spirit!

What does it mean when a society pays it’s Cops $100,000+ salaries and teachers can’t afford to live where they teach?

Good read from Trip Jennings of @NMInDepth on what Minneapolis is teaching us: https://nmindepth.com/2026/competing-visions-for-the-country-minneapolis-v-the-trump-administration/

"Who is my neighbor & what is our responsibility to each other" is a question I keep thinking about

I believe hope is not lost but we have a choice to make

This is definitely why I’m cautious about photos I share & WHERE.

AI is not sophisticated about a lot of things but it can recognize patterns.

Whether it’s photos or anything that identifies you or your location, consider these Questions before posting…

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who is this for?
🛟 What app am I sharing on?
👀 Who can see my content now and in the future?
🔐 Who has access to this data? (Apps, orgs, data brokers)

Feeling 😫🤬🤯😱 about the world?

Listen to some Hope with my chat with Chris Torres from Leadership for Democracy and Social Justice on the @roots of change podcast.

Despite the intentional chaos, Chris and I share a hopeful vision for activists to get involved and dig into practical strategies for movement leaders and the significance of staying rooted in community.

Matrix seems promising! I’m also testing out Quiet. They have a ways to go with the functionality but their roadmap is solid and I like their clear anti-Big Tech values.

I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO SAY THIS:

the purpose of a voter identification card is not only to suppress the vote, but to TRACK the vote.

voter id laws in the United States have ALWAYS come down to fascists wanting to know who is voting AND FOR WHOM, so they can suppress those votes.

the SAVE Act is not only a voter suppression law, but it’s #MAGA #fascists wanting to codify that Americans do not have a right to a secret vote ―which is a HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION

Goodbye Discord communities. 😿

This is a direct assault on queer and marginalized communities from Big Tech and Western governments. This is surveillance and suppression I’m the guise of “security”

@mxk I just found it on Hoopla for U.S. library card holders! 🤓 🌈

Como siempre, Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) lo dice clarísimo: o cambiamos la política o sigue la #enmierdización (#enshittification).

Por suerte, hay múltiples opciones a esta historia única del #capitalismo #fascista (recomiendo leer "El relato", de Úrsula K. LeGuin).

Algunes decidimos vivir otros mundos aquí y ahora, y nos maravillamos de lo hermosos que son. #Colaboración, #CuidadoMutuo, cosas compartidas, #cooperación y co #gobernanza de pares. En fin, la diaria de #LesComunes.

Aunque implique trabajo, lo hacemos gustoses. Al final, que yo sepa, sólo tenemos una vida. ¿Como queremos vivirla?

¿Como podemos ayudar a otres a probar y cambiar de relato y de vida? Ciertamente el ejemplo es algo importante. Hacer que funcione económicamente también. ¿Que más se les ocurre? :)

Our world has been in dire elite capture situations before. And it's always been the people who have gotten us out of those messes. It is our turn once again to hold power to account. We are the superheroes we've been waiting for.

Starting next week, we'll share lessons from the Civil Rights Era and how we respond today.

Colonizers Gonna Colonize
Finally, more is being revealed for the masses to see what the Cassandra's have been saying.

The Old Boys of the Confederacy never went away. The abusers and colonizers just added suits and Patagonia vests to their wardrobe. They took over the whole global economic order and couldn't stop so they took over our digital lives and our minds too. Now they want space.
