Colonialism has mastered the crime of stealing our children for generations and then punishing and criticizing our parents and grandparents for how they originally raised children.

Then, they went ahead and stole, renamed & rebranded our sacred original parenting instructions as “attachment” parenting, “conscious” parenting, “gentle” parenting, “positive” parenting, and “child led” parenting.

It has been used as a tool of profit.

It has been used as a means of stealing babies from families, then forcing the mothers and fathers of those babies to take colonial based parenting courses in order to get their babies back. And those colonial based parenting courses are heavily twisted and skewed versions of our parenting instructions - but twisted and skewed so severely, so deeply, that they only accommodate and feed colonial agendas and systems.

It is a matter of indigenous parents today abiding to colonially twisted, and colonially backwards parenting “styles” in order to fit the criteria of being a “good parent.”

Here’s the thing though.

Residential schools, the 60’s scoop, the child welfare system, and every other colonial policy embedded in the colonial fabric of society was created to do just this.

Keep the children out of our families to continue the ongoing attempts of assimilation and genocide against our peoples.

Even today.

So rather than pushing for “attachment” parenting, “conscious” parenting, “gentle” parenting, “positive” parenting, and “child led” parenting let us open into, revitalize, maintain and relearn the original instructions of raising and nurturing children.

Let us heal and dissolve what generations of colonialism has embedded into our parenting styles.

May we do our best to continue that.

So we can continue to raise children in the ways that we were originally meant to….

For generations to come.

Because this is the least we can do for the children in our lives today.

@purplepadma - this makes me happy to hear. My partner has been working his way out of a depressive episode with sui ideation as well, and I see how much effort it is for him (and you) to be doing that.

I appreciate you 💜

@purplepadma - hopefully not, but if it does tick up that way do you have support in place?

Packing for hospital next week.

I have shoulder surgery on Wednesday and it will be an overnight stay (hopefully only one night!), probably in a shared room.

Tips and tricks for preparation and packing would be super helpful, please!

In today's episode of Watching the Eclipse Watchers, some Opinions about science:

  • the eclipse is fake news, because I saw a video of it were it glitches and everything moved to the left (obviously the camera was moved to get a better angle, nobody moved the astral bodies)

  • you know they lie to us about all this because you can see the sun and moon are the same size

  • "somebody explain to me how the moon, which is transparent/translucent during the day, blocks the sun out I'll wait 😂"

  • discussion over how this is an event in a spiritual war, because of shadow bands*

Shadow bands are actually super interesting phenomenon:

Starting #keto today. I’m kind of bamboozled by the idea of no bread or granola at breakfast. But I have to give something new a go, I feel I can’t go on being so unstable and there’s not much wriggle room in my med regimen #bipolar

@purplepadma - my partner's wife does keto, as does one of my friends from gaming.. and they both love it.

Pro Tip: Organizing spaces should be intergenerational. There should be children and elders around. Nothing good comes from a bunch of 20 - 40 year old's sitting in a room thinking they know everything. Don't operate in an echo-chamber.

@thepoliticalcat - I mean the post isn't about you hanging out with kids. The post is about not excluding people from organising spaces because of their age.

The idea that youth are inherently dangerous to older folks is harmful. Any of the things you describe can be an issue with being around anyone of any age.

When authorities warn NSW drivers to avoid non-essential travel because of bad weather, the answer isn't staying home and ordering food in.

Delivery drivers are also human beings. Stop acting like they're disposable just because you want pizza.

Shouting "self-care" at people who actually need "community care" is how we fail people.

@JamesGleick pay walls are elitist bullshit. The money doesn't go to the authors who put in the work. They just stop people who can't afford paying being able to read the content.

It annoys me so much that the Guardian now forces subscription, in a time when we need free and accessible better journalism to counter how much misinformation is being spread, making it difficult and expensive to access and share their articles pushes people towards worse and worse sources.

I just saw a tiktok with a guy explaining how to get rich in 2024.
