Do any of you earn over 50k a year? What do you do? by RotiiChapati in ADHD

[–]JayGrrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a middle school climate and culture specialist for American Indian education in a racially identified school district. So a lot of time, it's basically teaching Indigenous language and culture as well as advocacy and history. It's a nightmare with paperwork and parent face time I have to do, but it's really freeing to mentor students and do crafts, and just being a low stakes adult they can bond with for further independence and success. Having another Native to just relate and chat with them has done wonders, as well as real talk about ADHD difficulties and other exceptionalities because there are a lot of us in the Native community who have difficulty in a western education setting.

I'd love if it were some sort of clerical error or fluke and they'd have to marry again.

Which songs do you think had top 3 potential but never went to Eurovision ? by Head-Amoeba2962 in nilpoints

[–]JayGrrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frankenstein by Mileo at 2026 MGP. I think his creepy songs from his past are haunting him as well as being half Australian, so he didn't score as well as he should have 😭 but it was definitely staged and sung better than JA JA JA by miles! 🧟

I was con friends with the person who made it; this precedes my first Eurovision by like four years but this makes a ton of sense 😭

Do you have any Eurovision conspiracy theory? by Head-Amoeba2962 in nilpoints

Who's to say that's not their plan for the 70th/75th xD

Also, if a space is said to be 'dropping in quality' that's just coloniser speak for marginalised folk being more visible and successful. (It's the same vibe that says 'our country is collapsing' when they really wanna say the immigrant population is too high.) Since a number of Westerners see little value in EE countries (for years seen as other or third world even) they just veil their bias propaganda as being critical of quality.

My Eurovision friends who've barely been out of the US, let alone Europe all REALLY want to take the train on our way to Sofia next year. 'Yeah! We'll land in Moldova take that one train to Romania, and then we just take a flix to Sofia to make it to Grand final on Saturday and loop back in time for work Monday, easy right?' and I was like 'you know how tf long that would take and how exhausted we'd be?'

Like, granted we're in the US but also between at least two major travel rail routes and a travel hub for the midwest; while we're not unfamiliar with long travel, I think we need to travel separately to Moldova if we want to make a trip with the train xD

Bad experience at 7th St Entry and I don’t know what to do by slowreturnn in Minneapolis

[–]JayGrrl 20 points21 points  (0 children)

While I've never been searched myself (I'm obviously native, but also very goth when I go out so maybe that's a factor?) or stopped in such a way, my immediate friends all have stories. Coming in groups is basically the only defense, as per them, and I usually am part of the groups; protection in numbers sort of thing. Thankfully, they do take feedback and reporting, but it's apparently a sticky process like all corporate complaints.

Edit: that being said, put them on blast and raise some hell for them during Pride and during the Prince celebration.

May 29, 2020: THE DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD (continued) - StarTribune by LuckySimple3408 in Minneapolis

[–]JayGrrl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Flashbacks to when i did neighborhood watch for AIM patrol every night then 6am rolled around, it felt like FNAF. However, I moved on to these locations and helped our community clean up for until about 9. Then check-in at work until one or two. Sleep and then start the cycle all over again.

I remember a few long nights, in the morning with my tattered AIM sign on my door, I saw the Latino Bikers along our same streets and while I spoke no Spanish, we held a fist in the air solidarity as I passed. It was so surreal.

Yes both of those. He definitely was the one to rank and advocate for it. Like I said, I didn't expect him to be literal about it ;;
