Academia is too verbose. Too easy to lose the spirit of decolonization {some variety.ref among prepositional phrases} all the Euro-centric and colonial-specific historic details that "ivy league" and their aspiring counterparts slam down in the book sellers. Is the equivalent of drowning in irrelevant and largely-useless data. We don't need any more angles from the white man.

Decolonizing requires the human go back further to/on their home continent where their great great great great great great ancestors ruins have stories unique to them, ones indigenous folks here are not necessarily interested in today. Especially and including the noise pollution of politics!

Justice for the oldest peoples on Turtle Island has been in the queue the longest. Our clan mother-based Supreme Court will always outrule anything the sleazy "US Supreme Court" might say. All of the translations reached the same conclusion: there's no honor in that court.

Three hundred sixty-three revolutions ago, there were no English names on the back of Turtle Island. Nobody wanted or needed Greco-Roman anything, and the greed of Italian accountants was only beginning to become apparent to the European masses. This is a story rooted in fact, not fiction:

Why I'm a boat rocker.

"You're rocking the boat. They don't like that." A comment I heard just this week... one woman chatting with another woman about how she did it... how was she able to overcome the overwhelming gender bias in this industry and join a team with an employer who actually cares? How did she do it? By not rocking the boat. I've had this ... I guess we could call it a "conversation" with myself at various points in my life. Usually it's when I'm getting washed ashore and clinging to dear land, gasping for air: Oh, geeze. I rocked the boat too hard, again! And everybody, like, freaked out. They threw me overboard! How dare they! ? Why did they do that? Because I rocked the boat. Yes, rather than risk their boat getting toppled by little me, they decided that the smartest thing to do is just throw the boat rocker overboard. Gee thanks. But the interesting thing is that never has any team membe...

KwikPay and RenWeb -- Nelnet's malware exploits the student loan industry

Was your student loan debt acquired illegally? How malicious is KwikPay? The $133 Billion Dollar Questions... If your student loan balance is going nowhere, and if you use or have been enticed by your loan "servicer" to use a little piece of software called KwikPay -- you may wish to read ahead. Especially if your intentions are to minimize the actual dollar amount of interest (or interest + principle) paid. See: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/04/cfpb-student-loan-payment_n_4726052.html Background: doing a little research on something only tangentially related to student loans, I happened across a couple intriguing posts on reddit... have a read here, here and here . Immediately my intuitive hackles went up: something is not right. And thus the "little" research led to more research, and some pretty interesting discoveries. First and foremost: be informed that any company that uses KwikPay or Renweb is, ...

Celebrating artists and veterans alike: those who do not work for financial interests

My paternal grandfather -- whom I never met -- is buried in Golden Gate cemetery. His headstone says "U.S. Marine Corp" and "WWII". I mentioned in my introduction post that like most veterans and undercelebrated Navajo Code Talkers of his era, my grandfather did not dedicate his life to serving financial interests . The war on fascism enabled womens' rights on this continent. My maternal ancestry has a significant chunk of Native American -- or, as we prefer to be called, "indigenous", and I was his first grandchild, despite the fact that my dad was not his oldest son. Also since it is relevant to how we refer to time -- my parents were never officially married. My mother, being of indigenous peoples, did not believe in those certificates with incorrect time stamps issued by County-based courthouses, or in what their idea of "official" is. She always knew her grandfathers and great grandmothers had been on this continent longer than Co...
