Alright, time to update this profile, because I really actually have something to say. I am a queer lakota woman. My politics are radical, I won't call myself an anarchist because I don't identify with those who use that term, but I am most definitely all about a people's revolution. I love poetry, love words deep in my soul. I love native poets, especially the crew that reps Minnesota. I live for the beautiful moments. I try to stop and appreciate nature everyday, whether it's the moon shining brightly or the a grey cloud covered day, I'm thankful. I'm always down for a good time. I consider myself to be a spiritual person. I bellieve in freedom. I believe in justice.

I want to meet radical southern queers. People who are freaks and kinky. People committed to justice and understand that no one gets trough it unscathed but are committed to doing the least amount of damage possible while still encouraging ideas of liberation! People who allow me to be whole. People who allow me to be angry. People who don't fear anger. People who embrace beauty and kindness. People who know that I didn't cross any goddamn land bridge and know better than to bring it up, in any context! People who know loss and grief. People who love to laugh, people who can bring the "ha ha's" and still be real. People who can say they were wrong. Peole who love tattoos and piercings. People who can meet me more than halfway. People who know that first nation or indigenous folks are still experiencing genocide and don't let their guilt paralyze them.
