so proud of Elias, my little brother, was head boy at the tuolumne powwow 2015
i am frustrated with my reading level and reading comprehension, but i cannot afford to go back to college.
when i became pregnant with Little Bear I went to the thrift store and bought every book I could find on parenting, child development, and child education. I read over 100 books. Then I took parenting classes. Then I took over 20 classes on parenting, child development, and child education. I did my own research and if and when I still didn’t understand I paid an instructor to help me understand. I didn’t go online and demand parents to educate me. When you actually care about something you do whatever you can to learn about it. You don’t put the responsibility onto someone else and then blame them if they refuse to teach you.
people often ask me why i am so distant, and take so long to make friends, but then i want to have them see my flash back of meeting this white girl in my English class and we were slowly getting to know each other. We went to Walmart and she pointed at a Black baby and said “look at the cute n*glet”. I called her on her shit and she was so shocked, “what i said cute not ugly!”. I never hung out with her again but she was still on my facebook and she posted about how she will always call out racism no matter who it is.. I don’t put my label of “friend” on just anybody. They have to be idk an actual good person.
Relative: N. Calif. shootings prompted by eviction
ALTURAS, Calif. (AP) — Though police said they are still working on a motive, the nephew of a Northern California woman accused of killing four people, including three of her own relatives, says that she snapped when members of an Indian tribe threatened to evict her and her son from tribal land.
I was requested by an elementary school to come in and do a presentation, including story telling, a craft, and drumming. I have participated in these kinds of presentations since I was a child but now it is different, because the schools are coming to me and not just the program, or just my mother. *feeling blessed*
white parents who speak over their mixed race and/or biracial children about racism need to stop.
I have many acquaintances, but no friends.
I really want to get a few tattoos..
this is the happiest and healthiest I have ever been
It was hard to save face at the office today; word travels fast in our community (especially secrets). One guy asked me in front of everyone about Logan and why I was accepting his treatment. I do not like being put on the spot. And there I was, silent, astonished. So everyone decided to discuss it in front of me and gave me unwanted advice. “He is playing you”, “if he wanted to talk to you he would”, etc. It hurt. Everything about him and our “relationship” hurts. It doesn’t help being embarrassed in front of everyone.
I got a new job!
*counting my blessings*
I start silversmith class tomorrow morning. It is part of our teacher training. I am excited to expand my skills and to teach others; I just hope the apple drama is over.
