Hawai’i could be wiped off the map tomorrow and you fakas would still wanna come down here on a fckn boat to snorkel and look our corpses.

Bringing Indigenous people into the forefront of these conversations& advocating for our presence in planning considering most of these “green burial” sites run through & over our ancestral lands and our relatives bones are still in museums and desecrated while Non-Natives profit

For those that are telling me, "Tourism is good for you! Don't ya know?" No, the hotels and venues that conferences (ACM CHI Conference, ahem) use have been stealing water from locals on every Island for decades. It's not an existential or 2nd order effect– it is happening now.

This is why we need more of us-Indigenous scientists- going into land tenure and rights so that we can sit in-front governments, scientists, big corporations, etc. and advocate for our people 💖 However, not all kin has our best interests.

People are rightfully dunking in this take, but can we just say how much OpenAI employees are getting high on their own supply? Absolutely no reflexivity, knowledge of history, or critical analysis. Just vibes.

Really shocking how much damage a single scaremongering article by the The New York Times has done to journalism in India. And they were warned that this would happen. scroll.in/article/105714…

It will take 10 minutes to scroll through all the names listed of Palestinians killed by Israel. It will take 1 second to realize how many are children. And it take a lifetime to ask yourself, why didn't I do more to stop this? There is still time. #ceasefirenow
