I'm a broke, disabled, queer, trans Cree person who's been through some awful stuff and really hard times lately— grieving a friend's passing, dealing with multiple acute injuries plus a new chronic condition...

It's indigenous peoples day. If you have some extra cash please consider sharing it with BAF

Besides the few events that actually feel like community healing and not just more labour we have to perform.... but even just getting to and from those events is so daunting it often doesn't even feel worth it

The coolest thing about the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is how quickly they made it so that almost every Indigenous person either has to work or wants to stay home all day to avoid everything

Yesterday my best friend knew I was going thru it so they came by after work. They brought me raspberries, peaches, and bananas. They were like, "every time I bring you fresh fruit, it makes you cry" lmaooo

My ancestors just appreciate u sharing a bountiful harvest, homie 😭

I found this incredible, teeny tiny fossil of a fish's fin today, though. It's not all bad. There is so much beauty.

A small stone on a pebble beach. On the stone is the fossilized imprint of a fish's fin.

I know it helps if I share more and more details about how shit my life is, but I'm just so exhausted. Just know that things are so fucked, I made a psychiatrist cry by sharing just one (1) single event that happened to me. So trust it's hard as hell, and I'm doing the best I can.

The medical stuff alone has been non-stop, painful, slow, and I've learned I have a chronic degenerative soft tissue disorder. I find out in a couple weeks if I need surgery. I'm trying so hard to keep fuckin going but.... like. How??! People like me aren't supposed to, but I WANT to so badly

I'm so determined to persist!!!! But it's getting so fucking hard. This year has met me with so many tragedies. I've lost so many loved ones. I would love to rest someday. I don't see that happening in my future, but the idea is nice anyways

I'm short on rent for this upcoming month, and my phone is 🤏🏼 this close to breaking, which will cut me off from all sources of income (besides my disability assistance). I spent the last two days basically sleeping. If anyone can help, I could really use it. Mîkwêc.

It rained a bunch yesterday for the first time in over a month— turns out it was a gory fish fest at the water 😅 it was definitely eerie though, big time

I've seen turkey vultures gather in numbers before, but only once, and about half as many. It was around a railroad track, so I called them because there was definitely something Big and Dead on the tracks. They called me back a bit later; it was a fatass raccoon eeeee RIP 😅

I'm back home on the east coast right now. Went for a lil trek down to the cove, and there are at least 2 dozen hawks and turkey vultures circling in silence 👀 I've never seen this many together at once... not hawks at least 💀 keeping my eyes open for whatever died around here, holyyyy
