TurtleIsland.social is born

In my mind, October 27, 2022 was the seminal moment, when Elon Musk bought Twitter. Within a week or so, in November of 2022, my favorite relative Tzipporah and I joined a Mastodon instance. Within a month, we decided to operate our own instance and on December 5, 2022, what was to become TurtleIsland.social was alive.

Both have pros and cons, let’s start with background

For background, most people reading this understand that X (formerly Twitter) and Meta (Instagram and Facebook) are owned by slimeball MAGA billionaires and are very disrespectful to BIPOC and left of center people. I’m not going to expound on that.

Cherokee National Treasure Victoria Vazquez was approached by late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who took a liking to her artwork. Ginsburg soon purchased a clay shield from Vazquez and a pot a few years later.

In 2022, those pieces were placed into the Cherokee National Collection and are now on display at the Cherokee Nation Anna Mitchell Cultural & Welcome Center in Vinita.

GOOD MORNING from Holly Bear!!

**ANIMAL FACTS ** Black bears are commonly found throughout much of North America, extending down into northern Mexico. They thrive in forested areas and are known for their impressive climbing skills, often resting in trees during the summer months. Their adaptability also enables them to inhabit a variety of landscapes, including mountainous regions and swamps.

Please forgive if this is a duplicate post, but it’s simply too important to not shout from everywhere.

And to my Canadian friends, all I can say to you is ELBOWS UP!

I am in no shape to engage in full combat or defense, but I damn sure will use my propaganda skills to agitate for Canadian defense and support.

Now please do better for your #FirstNations #Indigenous #Native folks.

I'm really not seeing this... thoughts?

Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park

Human occupation dates back at least 17,000 years—when the original Mississippian people arrived after the last Ice Age and occupied the area for millenia. The mounds they built, which are currently a national historic site that includes a distinctive spiral mound, a restored Earth Lodge where tribal meetings occurred, and a labyrinth of walking trails, are set to become America’s 64th National Park.
