Elimination of Institute of Museum and Library Services funding = fewer resources for digital inclusion, fewer grants for outreach, and fewer $ to support rural/tribal libraries. Hit me up for a free digital reading if you’re an impacted library. Navajo author. 2022 AIYLA winner

I was able to join the Early Show with Alax this past week to talk early literacy with the NM Early Childhood Education and Care Department. I got beamed up to talk about Herizon! Check it out if you have 5 minutes to spare. youtu.be/zP9B_Iu2QcU

I called out U of A at the Tucson Festival of Books Native American panel for their treatment of Native students and their lack of Native faculty, staff, and administrators. Thankful for the article and Arlyssa 🙏.

A large part of the Navajo Nation isn’t considered rural and thus isn’t qualified for a large majority of federal funds for rural communities. Not that there will be any left with this new budget.

State senators calling for Navajos in the Phoenix area to carry an ID and CIB today as there’s expected ICE raids happening. What kind of backwards world are we living in right now.

What is the deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor doing all over my For You page? This algorithm is working in someone’s favor and it’s not mine.

Feels like I’m experiencing 2035 with this 105 degree heat hitting me in the face at 19 mph. Arizona heat is something else. Imagine it everywhere.

This is my fourth year in operation as business and I’ve had extended contracts with NASA and the University of New Mexico among other clients. Pretty darn cool.
