I miss my Algonquin Anishnaabe comrade/2 spirit friend, Raven.
I'm really happy that they're doing well back out East. Raven followed some of their dreams & is committed to lifelong decolonization work. ❤️💗
Some of Raven's recent work efforts:

These photos are from when they visited me with their cute rez puppy 🥰
When a donated used car broke down at blockade & after a couple of volunteer mechanics came out (they hiked through bushes to get past RCMP blocks) & determined the car wasn't repairable, we used it as a hardblock. Raven & WhaleTail lived out of the car hardblock for a couple days before RCMP & logging guys tore it apart, ripped them both out & arrested them.
When I say we did a lot of frontlines work - this is part of the kind of stuff I'm talking about. It's definitely not for everyone. I tend to roll with fellow grassroots activists who put their lives on the line to try to force government policy changes. We take a lot of silent sabotage actions as well & we aren't sorry about it.
I appreciate anyone who takes other forms of direct actions too. It takes many villagers, so to speak, to topple corrupt leaders & their cohorts.
