one sup of this will have you demanding the news

i don't think anything will ever be as validating as the woman who's supposed to be training me on our new financial software learning how i've been doing payroll for the last five years. the shellshocked silence. the extended stare into the middle distance as she processed the implications. the horrified hands over her mouth. the heady experience of finally sharing space with someone who gets it. i am not the crazy one here.

i showed her this meme today and she enjoyed it immensely

David Cusick was a Tuscarora (Haudenosaunee) artist who self-published the first known English-language record of Indigenous stories told BY an Indigenous writer-illustrator. His book is called David Cusick’s Sketches of Ancient History of the Six Nations and you can read it for free online.

It’s really funny to me still that Skadi and Gladiia were super tight lipped about Aegir all that time for years, and then Laurentina, awakened and back in control of her body, goes and immediately just starts answering questions about Aegir and the Hunters with no reservations and makes a lot of friends, and then Doc and Kal realized, oh, it’s not that they were protecting state secrets or anything, Skadi and Gladiia are just THAT taciturn and traumatized whereas Laurentina is just naturally a very social and extroverted Stacy’s Mom.
