Gimme my rocker & a wraparound veranda, a good early bird special, music events featuring chairs - over by 6pm, & no plans for months. Goddamn. Retirement sounds sick. It'll never happen but yea.

Natives have never stopped being raped and murdered… you’re just not paying attention. We are at high risk. I survived rape.. and it was a white man. Our missing and murdered sister’s cases never even get looked into….. You just don’t care is the issue.
