Let it sink in that this may be literally the first time ever that an animated show with an all-native writers room has existed in, you know, Native Americans' OWN HOMELAND. https://twitter.com/joeytainment/status/1316838415787155456

🎃 Looking to commission art! 🎃

Hey folks!

I'm looking for an artist interested in making twitch/discord emotes, as well as a couple more images for alerts.

🚨 This is paid work, with priority given to racialized, disabled, and trans creators.🚨

I have never commissioned art as an individual before, but I'm looking to pay fair (if not above fair) rates, I have no tight timelines, and if all goes well I'd be looking for someone I could approach again in the future.

it's BEET SABER, the game in which you slice root vegetables to make delicious soup, salads and pickled vegetables.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day

Colonization and Decolonization - A Manual for Indigenous Liberation in the 21st Century

is one of the best resources I've found to learn and understand colonization and decolonization. It's a comic by Gord Hill. With his permission, I converted the PDF of it to the web, for those who prefer to read that way.

Okay so jumping off from my previous point about how a vaccine for covid (in our current cultural environment in the USA) will not be able to eradicate the disease, let’s talk a little bit about disease ecology and infection diseases, and why vaccines for seasonal/multi-strain illnesses are so important.

⚠️i’m not an immunologist, this is not my speciality, if one of y’all who is wants to add to this go for it⚠️
