My current bird obsession…
Long-tailed Ducks 🤍
ᎧᏬᏄ - kawonu - duck
Currently researching how to say long-tailed in Cherokee. It’s likely some combination of ganvhida (long) and gadoga (tail). We have digalenvhida meaning long-eared. Ear is galeni.

I don’t think I ever shared this here but it’s been on my mind. When I drove to Toronto last month I had no issues at the border but when I returned to the US the agent did ask me what my nationality was, which I thought was odd considering he had my passport in his hands and it states my nationality. It made pause though, which was probably the point.
We need to be on alert at all times.

“We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.”
This was posted by a journalist 20 minutes ago on BlueSky. This is America.

I’m going to spend some time drawing today and try not to fixate on how this bill and fascist government may leave me completely disabled in the near future.

The baby wrens by our back door just left the nest! So PRECIOUS. I was able to watch both parents call to them from the deck rails and one by one they plopped down and then went into the bushes. 🤎 #birds #nature #mybackyard #BirdWatching

When the butterflies first arrive they are always very skittish. It usually takes a couple weeks for them to start ignoring my hovering. ᎢᏣᎩ is the Cherokee name for this butterfly. #Insects #butterfly #nature #spring #insectphotography

Hello Bee 🖤
I believe the word gasgoyu (ᎦᏍᎪᏳ) is a general word for bee. It can be found on the Cherokee Nation word posters. But the word for honeybee is wadulisi (ᏩᏚᎵᏏ) which is the same word for honey! 🍯

I’m home from #JordanCon and feeling grateful for the friends who helped me through an emotional weekend. The day before I left my cat Hunter passed away. I was crushed. My grief is still heavy on my heart right now. If I’m a little quiet this week that’s why. It was a great show though and I’m so thankful. 🤍

One last surprise before #JordanCon… I will have two pendants available at my booth for the first time in years!
Crescent Moon 🌙 and Golden Doorway ✨
I have limited quantities of both, so come see me Friday when the doors open to the Dealer Hall.
