Independence Day Poems, Indigenously
This 4th of July we bring you some poems on the American nation from an indigenous point of view in Diane Glancy's (Cherokee, b. 1941) The Relief of America published in Chicago by Tia Chucha Press in 2000. A little bit of celebration, a little bit of snark . . . well, mostly snark. Published 24 years ago, many of the poems seem even more relevant today.
Diane Glancy is a poet, playwright, and educator of Cherokee, German, and English descent. This book is one of 40 by Glancy that form part of our Native American Literature Collection.
We wish you a safe and happy 4th of July . . . Indigenously.

Please, this is important. We are drowning in Gaza🚨📣.
On the 352nd day of the war on Gaza, with the approach of winter for the second time during the war. Today we went through the worst day of rain since dawn. It began to fall on us and flooded our tent, our food, our clothes, and even our bed. Sand and water became everywhere. Not only do we suffer from missiles, there are many things we suffer from that are a million times more difficult
So today I beg you, after we have lost. hope in the world, to help us and stand by us before the winter comes and we drown again. We want to buy a tent or nylon so that we can control the situation, and you know that in Gaza, one needs the minimum of $1,000. We are a family of 7 members, all of us over the age of 18. My mother is sick and has an infection in her chest, and my father is diabetic. Two days ago, my brother Hamdan suffered an injury to his hand and we lost a son. My uncle, about two weeks ago, in the recent massacre on the Rafah highways
Verified by: butterfly effect project Line No40
Every contribution, big or small, saves them and helps them before it is too late.* Please donate today and help my family find the peace and security they deserve. And protect ourselves from the cold of winter, rain and drowning.
please reblog as much as you can

“Help a Family from Gaza: Help Mohammed, Shorouq, and Baby Jamal Survive!”
In the heart of Gaza, where war, hunger, and despair are everyday realities, one small family is fighting to survive. Mohammed, his wife Shorouq, and their one-year-old son Jamal have lost everything but their hope—and now, they are reaching out for your help.
Mohammed works in vegetable trading, the only source of income for his family. But the war has shattered markets, destroyed livelihoods, and left him struggling to provide even a loaf of bread for his loved ones.
Shorouq, a young and ambitious graduate of midwifery nursing, once dreamed of helping mothers and saving lives. Instead, the harsh realities of war and unemployment have trapped her in a constant fight to protect her baby and keep her family afloat.
And then there��s Jamal, their innocent one-year-old boy. Too young to understand the horrors around him, but old enough to feel hunger, fear, and the cold absence of safety. A child who deserves warmth, food, and a chance at a brighter tomorrow.
This small family now faces unimaginable challenges: war-torn streets, empty markets, and empty stomachs. They need your compassion, your kindness, and your support to survive.
Today, you can make a difference.
Your donation—no matter how small—can provide food, medicine, and basic essentials to help Mohammed, Shorouq, and Jamal endure these dark times. Your support can give hope to a family that feels forgotten by the world.
How you can help:
• Donate to their GoFundMe campaign.
• Share their story with your friends, family, and on social media to amplify their voice.
GoFundMe Link:
Together, we can help this family survive and rebuild their lives. Your generosity is their lifeline, and every small act of kindness creates a ripple of hope.
“Your donation could be the reason a child sleeps with a full stomach tonight. Let’s stand together for Mohammed, Shorouq, and baby Jamal.”

Gabon's debts will be reduced by $450 million thanks to an innovative debt-for-nature mechanism. Piloted on Gabon's behalf by Bank of America (BofA), the debt-for-nature mechanism enables developing countries to reduce their external debt in return for funding for their biodiversity. In return, Gabon is protecting part of its marine ecosystem. This is the second case in Africa after the Seychelles.
...Gabon is paying for its biodiversity through the debt-for-nature mechanism. The operation, for which tenders were launched on the London Stock Exchange on 25 July 2023, will enable Gabon to reduce its external debt by up to 450 million dollars (267.1 billion CFA francs). In return, the country is committed to protecting its marine environment, with the support of the US-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) The Nature Conservancy.
Financially, the operation is being led by Bank of America (BofA), the second largest US bank in terms of deposits. A debt-for-nature swap is a debt relief technique for developing countries. It involves extending payment terms, reducing interest rates, granting new loans at low rates and writing off debts. This technique, invented by the American biologist Thomas Lovejoy, considered to be the godfather of biodiversity, involves exchanging part of the foreign debt for local investment in environmental protection measures.
The largest network of marine reserves in Africa
As part of Gabon’s debt-for-nature operation, the choice to protect marine biodiversity is not an insignificant one. Over the years, the Central African country has built up the largest network of rich and diverse marine reserves in Africa. Stretching over 53,000 km2, or 26% of the country’s territorial waters, this environment comprises 20 marine parks and aquatic reserves. It is home to countless threatened marine species, including the largest breeding populations of leatherback and olive ridley turtles, as well as 20 species of dolphins and whales.
Gabon thus becomes the second African country, after the Seychelles, to benefit from the debt-for-nature swap. It’s a swap that should spread throughout Africa... explains Hamouda Chekir, a member of Lazard’s Government Advisory team.
The French bank has just assisted Ecuador with a financial package that benefits both nature and the country’s economy. In concrete terms, Ecuador has swapped its current debt of $1.63 billion for a debt of $656 million, a transaction corresponding to 3% of the South American country’s total external debt, i.e. $48.129 billion in February 2023."

“americans have no culture” false. the things i do with sauces and condiments are a purely american atrocity
#marzi speaks#i grew up eating pb+mayo sandwiches. they’re fucking delicious btw you just gotta be brave and believe me. and you will see the light#i like them more than pb+js i’ll be real#another good thing with mayo. Hot Dog :3#and french fries of course but that’s a given#ranch is one of those things that goes good on just about anything#BUT i would advise against mixing it with other sauces/condiments. it goes better if you add spices and such to it#honestly it’s a relief they don’t have brown sauce in america bc my sodium consumption would be even worse#sidenote brits i hope you understand how fucking hilarious it is that your like Signature Sauce is just called brown sauce.#‘what’s it like’ ‘well! it’s Brown.’#anyways . i am a sauce guy and i am not afraid to say it. drown that baby in sauceeeeeee hell yeah

Milestone Monday
May 6th marks the first full week of May and with it, Great Lakes Awareness Day. Established in 2014, Great Lakes Awareness Day celebrates lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario and draws attention to water conservation and preservation efforts. In celebration of the day, we’re sharing artist Laura Brown’s (b. 1981) The Great Lakes of North America published in 2012 by Women’s Studio Workshop.
Women’s Studio Workshop describes The Great Lakes of North America as “. . . a visual examination of the Great Lakes region. Using layers of color reminiscent of a 1960’s school textbook, maps of the Lakes are rearranged and layered with routes traveled by French explorers, freight ships, and the artist’s own family.” The resulting double-pamphlet stitch is a vibrant record of the Great Lakes’ shoreline replete with noted natural landmarks like Pictured Rocks and Indiana Dunes.
Brown’s book was made in a limited edition of 50 copies signed by the artist during a residency at the Women’s Studio Workshop utilizing screen print, letterpress, wood block, and polymer relief printing.

Imagine that you are asleep and wake up to the sound of a belt of fire near you and one of your relatives becomes a martyr😔💔.
This happened to us tonight. What is our fault that we live under genocide every day? Every second we are exposed to danger and face death in all its forms.
The Al-Mawasi massacre, in which tents were buried in sand, resulted in more than 75 casualties, including martyrs, missing persons, and injured. This is not the first massacre, and it may not be the last, and we may be among the martyrs in the next massacre
This is the family martyr, the child Salem Al-Shaer. He is my father’s cousin .😭😭🕊️🕊️One of the innocent victims of this massacre.
I do not want to be one of the victims in this war. I do not want to be a number. I and my family want to live with my family in safety. Please, I ask for your help after all paths have been cut off. Please help me and my family to get out of here before it is too late, before I become one of the missing or in pieces. Please, help me and my family to get out of here before it is too late. Before I become missing or in pieces. Please.😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🥹🥹🥹
Help me reach the campaign goal as soon as possible. We cannot wait more than 11 months for this genocide without stopping. What else does the world expect from us?
Please donate and share to your followers, encourage them to help and spread this on other social media. I cannot achieve this goal without you, please continue to advocate for me.
