The wildfires are mostly under control in my state Slowly but surely. I’m just glad the air quality is back to normal where I live. I took this picture of the mountain near my reservation the morning after the fires started. For several days, we were covered in this thick smoke. It got to where you...See More »
Maybe us Native Americans should come up with our own movement called Indigenous Lives MatterMaybe a trendy little name will finally sway people toward our cause. Who am I kidding? That would never work because our lives don't matter! If they did, people would be willing to help the indigenous peoples now more than never. But like always,...See More »

A racist Mexican guy on Facebook called me a colonizer and a crackerThat's interesting considering I'm Native American and he seems to forget that unless he's indigenous himself (I doubt it) Mexicans are a product of Spanish colonization, so who's he calling a colonizer? 😂 After I schooled him and a bunch of other pe...See More »
Do you have a love-hate relationship with Summer? [I Love Summer]I do. I love how sunny and beautiful it looks, but at the same time, I get tired of the heat. 🥵
Someone on here once told me I can't identify as Native AmericanTheir reasoning for that was that because my ancient ancestors migrated here from Asia, so that means I'm no more native than the European settlers who came here. I told them by their own logic, no one can say they're native to any continent other...See More »

I'm sorry, but if you're a guy messaging me offering to talk about my molestation...I'm going to assume you're a creep just trying to get off on it. Sorry, but I have had countless men on here and on EP pretending to be caring, non-judgmental nice guys only to turn out to be sadistic perverts. I'm not taking anymore chances, I won't...See More »
I had a really bizarre relationship with my babysitter [I Was Molested By My Babysitter]Like I said in my last post, she was really good to me whenever she wasn’t molesting me. That might sound strange - and it is - but it’s true. We were close, even. Sometimes when she would watch over me, everything would be perfectly normal. Some day...See More »
I found an early bloomer in a blackberry bush Or an early riper, rather. A lone fully ripened blackberry among all the others which still have a long way to go until they're ripe. Blackberries usually don't start fully ripening until late August or early September, so that thing is way early! I...See More »
Every time I mention my dad who abandoned me in a post, there's always old men commenting who sympathize with HIMThat's right, they sympathize with my dad. Not me, the girl he ditched upon learning my mom was pregnant with me. I don't ever look for sympathy on here, but the amount of people here who have sided with my dad just amazes me. What's crazy is that...See More »
Don’t you hate it when people tell you you’re going to have regrets over something?I do! I don’t have any relationship with my dad and I don’t care to because he abandoned my mom after learning she was pregnant with me. Still, I have always been told that I will regret not reaching out to him, but I’m a grown woman now and I‘ve...See More »
Here’s a little project my mom’s boyfriend has been working on [I Say Legalize Marijuana] He has two of these plants he might make a lot of money off. 🤑 Thank god for it being legal in my state. With people losing their jobs during the lockdown, being able to grow your own marijuana from home has given people another way to generate...See More »
And here’s that flower [I Love Wild Flowers] Just a lone pink flower blooming among all the brush. Looks kinda like this emoji: 🌸
I was going to take a picture of a flower when this little guy hopped out of nowhere [I Love Wildlife] Startled me, but I’m glad I saw it because now I have two things to take pictures of. 🤭
Who even says “Indian” to describe Native Americans anymore?One of my friends who is also native used that word to describe someone from a neighboring tribe and I genuinely thought he was talking about an Indian as in from India. No one says that for Native Americans anymore, at least not around here! It’s n...See More »
I don't see how anyone could spend hours upon hours playing video games [I Don't Like Video Games]My roommate once showed me the amount of time her computer keeps track of her playing her video games and many of the games she's played had over 100 hours put into them! 😱 I don't judge, I just don't get it. Thank god I'm not a big on electronic...See More »

The rent is due tomorrow and I’m not going to be able to pay in time. I always pay the rent while she covers our groceries and electricity. I asked her to pay...See More »
