(1/2) While today is the "official" last day of #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth (US), #NationalIndigenousDisabilitiesMonth, #TransAwarenessMonth, I'd like to remind some folks that the triumphs and trials these months highlight are year-round.

Ageism also intersects with ableism and anti-Indigenous racism, making it difficult for Indigenous folks to age in a world that's made it very clear it doesn't want them to exist. Intersectional ageism means death.

Transphobes eat shit.

Anti-Indigenous racists eat shit.

Ableists eat shit.

Those teetering into all three and more eat shit.

ALL BIGOTS EAT SHIT.

I know I've talked about this wonderful woman before. BUT, please show @goaskalex.com some extra love. It is #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth and #NationalIndigenousDisabilitiesMonth, after all. (Although each moth is yearlong...just saying)

(1/4) I'm currently teaching a history of war class, and it's got me thinking. War interconnects with #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, #NationalIndigenousDisabilitiesMonth, and #TransAwarenessMonth.

Indigenous folks are sex workers

Indigenous folks with disabilities are sex workers

Trans folks (who might also be Indigenous and have disabilities) are sex workers

That is all ☂️

If this article mentioned the need to decolonize the current structures creating ableism + Indigenous folks writ large, it would be on to something

(3/6) #NationalIndigenousDisabilitiesMonth brings awareness to the disabilities Indigenous Peoples face as a result of settler-colonialism and how anti-Indigenous racism further exacerbates ableism.

The image features a faded trans flag, eagle feather, and the international symbol for disabilities. The image also has the Sex Work Historian logo (a grey peach) and a red umbrella (the international symbol for sex workers’ rights).
