Today is Missing or Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) Awareness Day. Today we remember the victims, and hold their families in our hearts. It’s a time to renew our commitment to work with Tribal Nations and Native communities to achieve justice and healing. #MMIP #MMIW

Had to break out the bird account to say @Meta and @facebookapp keep tagging my posts about the Comanche Language, a critically endangered language, as sexual solicitation. Your review team “works in many languages”, right. Not mine. #comanche #endangeredlanguage #IndigenousMe

And for our posts to be tagged and flagged by an algorithm that thinks because it can’t understand our languages that we are soliciting sex when we are sharing resources for our people to use to learn and get them engaged with our languages is a slap in the face @finkd
