@whiskeysailor the whole US should use UCT+3, except all those states that shouldn't be part of the US (all of them (#LandBack))

A minor #Landback victory
The basement of my building has a collection of (49 so far) license plates.

I replaced the #Oklahoma one with a #MuscogeeNation license plate.

15 different US state license plates. In the lower middle is the Muscogee Nation license plate.

Last Thursday, Mark Carney and Danielle Smith negotiated a deal to build a pipeline through northern BC, but First Nations leaders want nothing to do with it.

Gaagwiis, President, Haida nation: "This project is not going to happen."

Marilyn Slett, President, Coastal First Nations: "We have zero interest."

David Eby, BC Premier: “No proponent, no route, no money, no First Nation support."

Good news in #LandBack. Over 10,000 acres near Lake Tahoe was returned to the Washoe Tribe! The former ranch was purchased with a grant from the California Wildlife Conservation Board. www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/ar...

#Landback is also a #WomensRights issue.

As women across the U.S. give 150% to make the holidays special just as their mothers did and mothers before them.

#women keep this country together. That’s why I believe so strongly that #indigenous sovereignty is so intrinsically tied to the liberation of #white women.

I know both experiences deeply as many other mixed natives raised by white mothers know. #thanksgiving for a better future.✊🏽

Gender fluid people served many different central roles in indigenous societies.

go vegetarian, step back from whatever reheated spectacle the media is pushing at you, and donate your turkey savings to Indigenous people today #LandBack #IndigenousDayOfRemembrance

Every year, this country tells a story about "Thanksgiving" that leaves out the truth, the violence of colonization, the survival of Indigenous nations, and the struggle that continues today. The National Day of Mourning isn’t about guilt. It’s about clarity. It’s about honoring the people who have protected this land long before it was renamed, redrawn, and sold.

Learning the original names of the places we live, listening to Indigenous voices, and understanding why land stewardship matters today helps us break through the myth and see the real history underneath.

Drop the Indigenous name of your city, region, or state in the comments. Let’s use this time to learn, remember, and uplift the people whose relationship to this land never ended.

Remember as we approach today's and this season's in general festivities, to please please PLEASE have those conversations with your family.

"Its uncomfortable"
More uncomfortable than the people being ripped away from their homes, than living in fear, than hoping we have healthcare next year?

If you cannot even talk to your family and friends, you are not an ally, you are an accomplice. And if that makes you angry, just block me now, because it's the truth and you need to sit with that not lash out because you cannot even have a conversation around the dinner table to stick up for those you say you care about. There's a lot of really cute "Gentle Parenting" style videos about how to approach things if you need ideas, or find more your style. But you know who they are in your family... Plan. Rehearse what you want to say. Prepare. No excuses.

Anywhoooo...have a pretty harvestman because if talking doesn't work maybe they are arachnophobic.*

*in jest, please be kind about true phobias

A brown textured wall of a cave, with an indent. Sitting above that dark indent as the light shines across it is a pale spindly thing, Tolus appalachius harvestman. Not a spider, but kinda looks like one. If this were massive human-sized it would be nightmare fuel even I admit that, haha. But it's small, like the size of a quarter.

"So Mr. S heads to the alien settlement, where once again he finds dystopian squalor and shocking ignorance combined with fantastic technology. The aliens are unfamiliar with even the basics of agriculture and desperate for aid."

Happy American Thanksgiving!

From June, 2025... #California’s #YurokTribe gets back ancestral lands that were taken over 120 years ago

By Associated Press
PUBLISHED: June 5, 2025 at 9:34 AM PDT

ON THE KLAMATH RIVER, Calif. (AP) — "As a youngster, Barry McCovey Jr. would sneak through metal gates and hide from security guards just to catch a steelhead trout in #BlueCreek amid northwestern California redwoods.

"Since time immemorial, his ancestors from the Yurok Tribe had fished, hunted and gathered in this watershed flanked by coastal forests. But for more than 100 years, these lands were owned and managed by #TimberCompanies, severing the tribe’s access to its homelands.

"When McCovey started working as a fisheries technician, the company would let him go there to do his job.

" 'Snorkeling Blue Creek … I felt the significance of that place to myself and to our people, and I knew then that we had to do whatever we could to try and get that back,' McCovey said.

"After a 23-year effort and $56 million, that became reality.

"Roughly 73 square miles (189 square kilometers) of homelands have been returned to the Yurok, more than doubling the tribe’s land holdings, according to a deal announced Thursday. Completion of the land-back conservation deal along the lower #KlamathRiver — a partnership with #WesternRiversConservancy and other #EnvironmentalGroups — is being called the largest in California history.

"The Yurok Tribe had 90% of its territory taken during the #CaliforniaGoldRush in the mid-1800s, suffering massacres and disease from settlers.

" 'To go from when I was a kid and 20 years ago even, from being afraid to go out there to having it be back in tribal hands … is incredible,' said McCovey, director of the Yurok Tribal Fisheries Department."

For me, today is a day of rest, reflection and a #NationalDayOfMourning in solidarity with Indigenous people. No matter how you celebrate, please remember those who were lost and that the oppression of Indigenous people is ongoing. As always, #LandBack.

I have left the setter colony but when I get paid on Monday, I’m going to support the Kuuy Nahwá’a (guest exchange), which supports the Tongva people’s land back efforts. Their land was where I last resided in the ‘US.’
