[My across the hall neighbor and 'adopted' grandkid Kolya is having top surgery in a week if you'd like to help them. They are taking 5 weeks off work.]

I'm going to be okay, but if you'd like to support me financially during this time, it would mean a lot and genuinely help lighten the load. You can send anything (only if you’re able!) via:

"Half-Breed" is a popular song recorded by Cher in 1973. Cher's version, recorded with instrumental backing by L.A. sessions musicians from the #WreckingCrew, was recorded on May 21, 1973 at #LarrabeeSound in Los Angeles. Lyrically, the song describes the life of a girl who faces societal rejection due to having a #White father and #Cherokee mother. It contains themes of #racism and #doubleStandards. The song reached Number 1 on the #Billboard #Hot100.

I made a list of ᏣᎳᎩ words I wanted to share on my discord this week and wrote them all down in syllabary without the phonetics because I CAN READ THEM.

The legend of the Moon-Eyed People showcases Appalachian folklore’s rich tapestry, featuring pale, nocturnal beings tied to Cherokee traditions and early settlers’ tales. #appalachian #cherokee https://connectparanormal.net/2025/04/01/moon-eyed-people-myths-and-mysteries-of-appalachia/

My #OxHeart #tomato plant is dead.

Last week, while the rest of the state (mostly) had steady or heavy rains we had very strong winds.

We tried restaking the tomato but all of its roots had been torn out & it didn’t recover.

(I prefer our old #Cherokee tomatoes anyway, so it’s no big loss).

The last of its fruit is going into another #devilled #sausage #dinner tonight.

Today in Labor History March 9, 1911: Frank Little and other free-speech fighters were released from jail in Fresno, California, where they had been fighting for the right to speak to and organize workers on public streets. Little was a Cherokee miner and IWW union organizer. He helped organize oil workers, timber workers and migrant farm workers in California. He participated in free speech fights in Missoula, Spokane and Fresno, and helped pioneer many of the passive resistance techniques later used by the Civil Rights movement. He was also an anti-war activist, calling U.S. soldiers “Uncle Sam’s scabs in uniforms.” 1917, he helped organize the Speculator Mine strike in Butte, Montana. Vigilantes broke into his boarding house, dragged him through the streets while tied to the back of a car, and then lynched him from a railroad trestle. Prior to Little’s assassination, Author Dashiell Hammett had been asked by the Pinkerton Detective Agency to murder him. Hammett declined.

This is a complex subject. Reality is without police, Native Nations would lose sovereignty.
