Why, Hello there...

Some of my favourite lines from Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot

v's changing johnny's lyrics. kerry doesn't know how, but they're doing it. they're guiding johnny's hand to more synth-heavy songs when kerry knows he prefers the firm twang of metal guitar strings; his vocals are softer and loftier compared to before he met v... before he started to change.

johnny's changing. kerry never knew he was capable of that. yeah, he changed from robert to johnny after he became disabled and had his revelations in the chihuahuan desert like moses in the desert of shur, but this is different. it's almost like... can kerry even bring himself to say it? can silverhand even... can he even fall in love?

'cause this new song has kerry weirded out. maybe it's the way johnny touches his chest during the bridge, like it makes him feel warm and proud to confess that "the more they give, the less i am." johnny's joked about v being a parasite-type groupie before, but the way his eyes screw shut and the way his smile grows wide when he follows -- "they keep on screamin' for release / yells with my voice, tears with my hands" -- makes kerry fear that they're much, much more.

hell, what kind of person is v that they can make johnny openly sing about his fears? johnny's been touting "corps can only shit on people for so long 'til they decide it's their turn to pull down their pants!" for nearly a decade now, but suddenly he's admitting that he knows his revolution could fail? he's singing "sometimes we drift too far / there is no way to slow down / so either steer or collide." maybe if kerry knew v, understood how they operate, how they're changing how johnny operates...

when I drew this comic 3 years ago I had NO idea how far it would reach. I'm happy to finally share a corrected version with proper abbreviations, and even MORE state names of indigenous origin ♥️

however, the goal of this comic was to inspire people to do your OWN research on indigenous history. To question everything we have been taught, and everything that has been pointedly left out. This erasure, this “forgetting”, of history is not just of the past… it is happening now. - Across so-called Canada, the US, and US-occupied islands, native women are victims of murder at 10-12x the rate of non-native people, and are the most likely to go missing without being searched for by the law. - Native reservations have the highest rates of poverty in the US, with over HALF of tribal homes with no access to clean water (with more joining this list by the year) - Native people are 6-10x more likely to be unhoused than the rest of the population, and native teens suffer suicide rates higher than any other demographic. This list of modern day genocide goes on (thank you for compiling @theindigenousanarchist <3) and yet take a look at those environmental stats!

Native people manage to do SO much for the planet as a whole - thanklessly - and with all this stacked against them. Don't even get me started on kin fighting in south america. Could you imagine if there was help? #landback is resistance to genocide, and it is the key to saving our warming earth.

So look into it and the other hashtags, cuz a cartoon goose ain't a substitute for a proper education. Love to my grandparents who always kept a map of tribal territories of turtle island on their wall, to speaking on our Tsalagi & Saponi heritage. Love & solidarity forever, happy research, and happy #indigenouspeoplesday
