The important question is, why is she still in office? and how is she evaluating the important complex issues like health care or AI or is she just voting for what she is told to vote for; a puppet of #bigCorp

Another example of #elder #Abuse.

The #GOP is filling our government with folks that are easy to manipulate.

#democracy is more than voting.

I silently think on the lives that have been lost to hate, and I wonder how many more will be lost this year.

Today, on #TDOR, I consider my time on this earth. I consider how i've gone from being a young trans woman to what, in effect, is an #elder in the community.

I see the fucking hate growing against us. I see the vitriol. I see the calculated attempts at trying to silence us, to lead us to death, to unalive us.

I... we... together.... are stronger than their hate. We are stronger together than every passage of their 'sacred’ scripture, twisted and petrified to erase us while at the same time loud in its absence whenever they are accused of violence against others, of cheating, of stealing, and of violating another.

It is okay to not be okay today. It is okay to weep. It is okay to need to be carried, to collapse at the side of the road.

We will carry you. We will be here.

Never forgetting.

Lisa Jackson and The National #Film Board - #NFB of #Canada have created a #documentary that redefines #Indigenous #knowledge and #teachings using the life and times of #Elder, #cosmology and #astronomy expert, Wilfred Buck.

“We are in the process of remaking an age-old song . . . signing, dreaming, praying, talking into existence once again the knowledge of our people,” said Wilfred Buck.

Moving between the earth and stars, past and present, this hybrid feature documentary follows the extraordinary life of Wilfred Buck, a charismatic and impertinent #Cree Elder who overcame a harrowing – yet all too familiar — history of displacement, racism and addiction by reclaiming ancestral star knowledge and ceremony.

Buck is humble, profound, funny, always real and a master #storyteller. Narration taken from his #autobiography, I Have Lived Four Lives, condenses the loss and desperate pain of his youth into powerful, Beat-like poetry.

rabble.ca · Wilfred Buck and the revival of Indigenous knowledgeA new documentary shares the life of Wilfred Buck, an Indigenous scientist and knowledge keeper.

Aujourd'hui nous sommes réunis pour rendre hommage à l'Ancien, si âgé, si vieux, que son mât a poussé à travers lui, que ses oripeaux ne sont plus que lambeaux de tissus flottants aux quatre vents... Seul son visage reste, nous regardant de haut, certes, mais avec bienveillance.
Et son chapeau aussi.
Tout bon épouvantail a besoin d'un bon chapeau.
