“Leather and Naughahyde” by Marilyn Dumont So, I'm having coffee with this treaty guy from up north and we're laughing at how crazy ‘the mooniyaw’ are in the city and the con- versation comes around to where I'm from, as it does in under- ground languages, in the oblique way it does to find out someone's status without actually asking, and knowing this, I say I'm Metis like it’s an apology and he says, ‘mmh,’ like he forgives me, like he’s got a big heart and mine's pumping diluted blood and his voice has sounded well-fed up till this point, but now it goes thin like he’s across the room taking another look and when he returns he’s got ‘this look,’ that says he’s leather and I'm naughahyde. Reprinted with permission from A Really Good Brown Girl (London: Brick, 1996, p. 58).
I relate to this so much; I also have the layer that I am #urban #metis and white in appearance with a #settler paternal heritage.
#Lateralviolence needs to stop. It was #colonialism that divided our people, not #Indigenous ourselves.

The current call out culture in community being aimed currently at #lilygladstone is exactly the reason I think " #descendian " is #lateralviolence. #FNMI
Respect to those calling out Crystal Semaganis and her "Ghost Warrior Society" for her harmful behavior. It takes courage to stand up to lateral violence. We need more of this. Protecting our spaces starts with accountability.

I am Indigenous and multiply neurodivergent. I am also disabled. Nothing wrong with that. Not sure why my comment is being taken personally here. Thank you for being an example of how autistic people are often called rude when we are being matter of fact, and to the pont #LateralViolence
Lateral violence is the new language of activism amongst LGBTIA+ people. #lateralviolence #transgender #lgbtiqaplus #lgbt #language #activism

The phone I have was given to me by the Bc Association of Friendship Society centres. The account is Telus & under mobility for good for #Indigenous women. #Corruption #LateralViolence # PoliticalHostage
Still blocking snark and rage-skeets meant to belittle or be otherwise unkind to innocent strangers. It just spirals too fast into a toxic space - not a healthy way to be in any society. #LateralKindness over #LateralViolence
Challenging questions about not falling into #lateralviolence within #Indigenous & #mainstream #feminism
@JihanGearon asks us to reject it, call it out to address it
There are not enough spaces for women to come together to discuss these issues
#Colonialism is not dead; it's just grown into something more insidious:
· Foster "Care" (child removal)
· #LateralViolence & Divisive Tactics (pitting us against each other, enticing w/ promise of jobs)
· Public Perception ("extremist," "protestors")
· Buzz words w/ no action
Tools alone will not help with #Indigenous #revitalization & #decolonization.
Barriers to implementation must be dealt with concurrently - #LateralViolence, #CommunityHealth, #ContinuedColonialism, #InternalizedOppression, #PowerDynamics, #Paternalism, #Capacity...
Oh, what we could do if we refuse to cut each other down... If we hold each other up with emphatic #empathy. #LateralViolence #LateralLove
