So, I have thoughts as an #Indigenous person about the first two chapters of #TheBookOfBobaFett and I can't keep them in. I don't want to spoil people, so this is your warning to click away now. Another note: I am just one Anishinaabe woman and represent only myself. 1/

I have long loved Tuskens, ever since KotOR. People who know me well know that I've long threatened to write Tusken fanfic. So when I say that I loved the humanization of the Tuskens in BoBF (and The Mando), know that it's from a long-standing Tusken fandom 2/

I haven't talked about it much on here, but last year my partner of several years died after struggling with Long Covid for a year. They had an early case of Alpha in 2020 and their lungs never fully recovered. They were on oxygen for the rest of their life and died at 40. 1/ They also died a week before my mother died, in a hospital less than a mile from the one in which my mom lay dying on a high pressure O2 machine. Her death came not from Covid, but from severe side effects of chemoradiation for her lung cancer 2/
