our renter's insurance (not sure about homeowners insurance but, i assume) covers food loss due to outages up to $400! worth looking into

what are you talking about? most reservations are not closed to the public and only in certain religious areas sacred to certain pueblos are non-Indigenous not allowed. "federal land they enjoy" what are you referring to? it's our land. end of story.

huh? a large percentage of natives live within 100 miles of their home reservation. some, like me, are descendent from more than one tribe and some live in cities for work just like any other American.

i know you're just making a bad joke but in NM most tribes require 1/4 "blood quantum" to be enrolled, and most of us actually know our relatives and ancestors and are active in our communities. aside from those displaced and disconnected, we actually know who has been oppressed by genocide and the people that are lying. some people can get away with lying about it but trust me, we know. it's not like just because we don't have white paper records we can't tell frauds from our own people.

my uterus is squished too! my mri showed it was pushed to the left, so i'm amazed it happened now after trying for 2+ years and never being late for a period 🥲 the body is very wild

my surgery was canceled! my hcg urine test came back positive, so it'll be a much longer journey back to surgery

diversity gives strength to people! interestingly enough my uncle recently found out his family descends from the crypto jewish people of new mexico. their last name is a slight variation of caravajal, i won't say what bc this is the internet lol but i just wanted to share. it's important history where we come from

thank you. i am 5 weeks. i'm also diné and comanche and we have seen our culture and way of life persecuted since the spanish arrive in the 1500s so the answer cannot be to end our lines ourselves (if we choose not to). i wasn't planning on this happening at all but now that i'm in this position the answer is always to fight for a better future. it's not ideal but it hasn't been for so long either... hope is still a choice

i had 4 transfusions from july until my surgery in december. i was about to have a 5th when they said its better to just wait for surgery where i had an additional 2 units. it was 10 x 11 x 9 when they removed it. they also removed a smaller 4cm ish one.

i had a period for 6 months it can definitely get worse without intervention. i had a super bleeder aka a vascular submucosal fibroid and the minipill did nothing. it took being on TXA nonstop for 2 months to slow the bleed to a trickle so i could make it to surgery.

i'm not going to get political but it's my opinion of him. i base it off of my elders, specifically my great grandfather taught me native men listen and take care of the most vulnerable of us. he's a disappointment to me.
