In the 1980s, did you have a folder, or perhaps a Trapper Keeper, that had a painting of dolphins in beautiful jewel like waters, or alternatively, flying through outer space? Who did all those paintings, anyway?

The answer is Christian Riese Lassen, an avid surfer who loves all things oceanic, spiritual, and cosmic.

On Sunday, December 29, 2024 a traffic stop at approximately 10:30 a.m. led to a fatal officer-involved-shooting (OIS) on the Turtle Mountain Reservation that left a tribal citizen dead. The deceased is 32-year-old Jordan Parisien, a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians (TMBCI). The tribe said in a statement that a federal Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) officer has been placed on administrative leave as a result of the Dec. 30 incident, but has not released the officer’s name. It is commonly believed in the community that the involved officer was Evan Parisien — not related to Jordan — and that he was the same officer who killed Brandon Laducer four years earlier.

An officer from the incident has been placed on administrative leave and is a federal employee with the OJS, said TMBCI in a Dec. 31 press release. The U.S. Department of Justice assumes jurisdiction for all officer involved shootings on Indian lands in North Dakota. The federal government and the tribes — not the state — have criminal jurisdiction for major crimes (i.e. shootings, kidnappings, murder, arson) on Indian lands in North Dakota. While not much information has been revealed to the public about the shooting, one of Parisien’s relatives said to news media that officers fired 16 shots toward Jordan Parisien. Until fault has been proven, government officials, such as federal police officers, have qualified immunity that includes shielding their identity.

A Lee Enterprises Public Service Journalism Team investigation examined deaths of Native Americans in encounters with law enforcement over the past 10 years, with a focus on the on- and off-reservation communities of South Dakota, where such fatal encounters are particularly common.

This investigation found:

● Across the United States, Native Americans died at a significantly higher rate than any other racial or ethnic group in police encounters between 2017 and 2020.

● A lack of funding for police in tribal communities contributed to fatal law enforcement incidents both on and off tribal lands.

● Loved ones of those who died in police pursuits, police shootings and jails struggle to access even the most basic information about how these deaths occur.

● A lack of accountability and oversight in the case of such deaths exacerbates distrust between Native Americans and law enforcement.

● Such deaths often go unreported by media.

Tonia Black Elk, one of the lead organizers of Native Lives Matter, said such fatal police shootings are “so prevalent now” in the relatively small Indigenous community that “we’re all related to somebody, or somebody has multiple people in their family” who have died this way. “The cops are doing this so much, in such a fast-paced way, that we’re all becoming related through this,” Black Elk said.

Please reblog.

Police shot at him 16 times during a traffic stop with his hands up.

And they don't know who's fault it is that he ended up dead??

Jordan Parisien deserves justice like every other person killed by US pigs. Please, please blow this up.

It's punk to compost, in a world filled with trash.

It's punk to be fat, in a world that wants you to keep getting smaller.

It's punk to ride an old bike, drive an old car, patch your old clothes with different colored thread, cut up old sheets for rags instead of using paper towels, and make stuffed animals out of scrap fabric, in a world that wants you to just "order it off amazon".

It's punk to tend a messy, overgrown, weed-filled garden. Tomatoes grow right next to dandelions.

It's punk to can the veggies from your messy garden and give your neighbors delicious tomato soup in the depths of winter.

It's punk to make a bird feeder and look out the window to take a break from your screen.

It's punk to wear your "Let Trans Kids Play" shirt to a college basketball game where there are no trans players, because a trans kid in the crowd will see it and maybe (this year) decide to join the team.

It's punk to have wrinkles, when the world wants you to stop aging at 23.

It's punk to go to your local library.

It's punk to take your kids to your local library.

It's punk to take your kids to a pride parade, a sit-in, a land-back ceremony, an accessible trunk-or-treat, a soup kitchen.

It's punk to plant trees. It's punk to PROTECT trees.

It's punk save for solar panels, someday.

It's punk to hope, whenever you can.

you guys know you can get USB connectable CD, dvd, and blu-ray players right. and you can buy external hard drives with crazy amounts of space for an amount of money that would make the average person from 2009’s head explode bc of how cheap it is. and if you do this and get ripping software such as handbrake for CDs and DVDs and makeMKV for blurays you can both own a physical copy of whatever media you want and make it accessible to yourself no matter where you are. do you guys know this

This is just a quick reminder that this blog is not a safe place for you if you are a terf. Especially if you try and push the fucked up idea that Aphrodite does not love trans women. I am trans myself and won't tolerate my sisters being disrespected by miserable radfems. Ty.

Lady Aphrodite loves everyone. Including trans people.

When I became freelance, one of my first marketing contracts was fixing my boss' blog posts and articles that he had 'written' with ChatGPT.

It was the single most soul-sucking task I have ever done in my life. I could have ghostwritten it for them faster than it took me to edit it.

ChatGPT would often hallucinate features of the product, and often required more fact-checking than the article was worth.

It is absolutely no surprise that 77% of employees report that AI has increased workloads and lowered productivity, while 96% of executives believe it has boosted it.

The reality is that it's only boosted the amount of work employees have to do which leads to increased burnout, stress and job dissatisfaction.
