Yes I: am fat, have blue bangs, could eat more salads
No I: am not a guy, white, going to fuck myself/die
Oh! And...
For those simply tweeting my profile pic I feel bad that you can't use your words so here's some more for you to choose from so I don't get bored. Again.
Thanks for the chance to look at some really great memories!

I had some things to say about this because of course I did. 🧵
"I'm Mvskoke and Semvnole. We lived in wooden long houses traditionally. They were permanent housing centered around a town square. We had at least 50 Tribal Towns which were organized into the largest governmental
confederacy on Turtle Island pre invasion. These distinct moeties were separated into red and white towns, as well as having a Matrilineal Clan system. It was a highly sophisticated form of government which not only predates colonization but exists still today.

the only type of sacrifice we practiced was giving our blankets to our fallen relatives on the Nene Estemerkvlke (The Road of Suffering People) because your ancestors were so full of hate and genocidal rage in their greedy quest for land that they wouldn't pause their murderous

Today is the anniversary of the largest mass shooting in American history, Wounded Knee, a massacre on December 29, 1890 that has been relegated to history as a "battle". 🧵
The Wounded Knee massacre saw 250-300 disarmed Lakota slaughtered. Half that number were women and children.

Today is the 160th anniversary of the largest mass execution in u.s. history, carried out on the orders of The Great Emancipator, abraham lincoln.
In 1862 Minnesota was considered the new frontier. White settlers had been pushing Dakota Indians further west, making false promises of peace and breaking treaties amongst both groups. The u.s. promised to deliver food and supplies to the Dakota
as partial payment for their giving up their lands to whites. Corralled into reservations and limited to their traditional ways of hunting, the Dakota were being starved purposely.
Why then is Jackie still talking about the blood quantum of an enrollee in order to invalidate their Indigeneity?
To enroll in Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma in most cases one has to be a lineal descendant of an ancestor listed on the Dawes Final Rolls of Citizens and Freedman of the Five Civilized Tribes.
