But I guess it's true what they say isn't it

It's a bug's life so you should expect some stingin

But I'm floatin

Smoother than a criminal an I ain't lyin

I may got the eye of the tiger but I got the roarin mane of a lion

Damn does it stink in here oh no wait that's jus my dragons breath - I'm spittin hot fire

Wired like a secret agent

Create Success Investigation

These criminal minds

Are lyrical ties

To dress you up n get ready for I's

I pledge allegiances

I do marry you death do us part tills

Stills in I's

Like I's solemnly swear that I am up to semicolons

No good riddance

From first to last

Again I am a lyricist

I will use my two arms to strum my pain with this stringed instrument

This kyre its jus

My Greek Day of recognitions

Oops my Green day

I'll be captain planet

Savin the earth will be one of my serenist moments

Altoid break in

Playin linemen tic tac toe in poundin offense

Hashtaggin defense

Somebody please wake me up when September ends

Cause you family guys are still wishin I loop a line for cool whip again

Please cool it now then

Make sure you call me the new Indiana Jones wit the cool whippin sense

Tomb raidin jt

Why is it people will sign their name next to an X for treasure huntin

But won't walk the plank to sign next to the X line of friendship

Diggin up artifacts that's ancient

Has your cookie dipped in yet?

I'm thick in the thinnin of LeBron James' hair ulignment

n if you already know that you can't have pie without cool whip

Why'd you make me flip it

I guess it's cause the u n on top of each other is in perfect alignment

On this track I'm racin

I'm only speakin one thing about equation

And that's The United Nations.

Forest of Pages (Sounds of The Great Lakes)

By Mr. PoetAll

[decolonize-the-everything]

"All our needs are met by this land, not by Enbridge.” That’s what Wenipashtaabe (Sandy Gokee), an Anishinaabe water protector, told the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) at a June 4 public hearing in Ashland, Wisconsin about a proposal to reroute Enbridge’s Line 5 oil pipeline. Line 5 currently trespasses through the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa’s reservation in northern Wisconsin, and a federal judge last year ordered Enbridge to remove that segment of pipeline off the tribe’s land by June 2026. Enbridge’s plan is to reroute the pipeline, but the company needs approval from the USACE first.

[...]At the meeting, Tribal leaders and environmental advocates from across the region voiced concern about the proposed reroute. That’s because Line 5 poses an environmental risk within Tribal boundaries—and the reroute wouldn’t change this, because it would still be located within the larger Bad River watershed. In other words, an oil spill in that area would still drain into the Bad River, endangering wetlands and groundwater along the river’s course to Lake Superior. “We said off the watershed. You said off the reservation,” Gokee told the USACE at the public hearing. The more than 70-year-old pipeline is 20 years past its expiration date. In some places, including the point where the pipeline intersects with a “meander” in the Bad River, it is in imminent danger of rupture.

Folks aren’t counting on Enbridge to fix this, because the Canadian energy company has a terrible track record. A rupture in another major Enbridge pipeline, 6B, caused the 2010 Kalamazoo River spill, which dumped nearly a million gallons of crude oil into the water over the course of 18 hours before Michigan authorities (not Enbridge) reported the spill. It’s one of the largest inland oil spills in US history. Construction along Enbridge’s Line 3 has caused ongoing harm in Minnesota, where Enbridge contractors released toxic fracking fluids while drilling under waterways, and destroyed wetlands.

The proposed new segment of Line 5 would cross and endanger nearly 200 bodies of water and over 100 acres of wetland as it passes through Ashland and Iron Counties. The $450 million reroute would require temporarily and permanently discharging fill material into wetlands, horizontal drilling under the White River (which flows into the Bad River), and would cause the loss or alteration of wetlands in the 30- to 50-foot wide maintenance corridor surrounding the pipeline, USACE states in an analysis of the plan.

“I can drink the water here now. Let’s keep it that way,” added Gokee at the public hearing.

You can donate directly to the tribe to help them on Defend the Bad River dot org and you can read more about their treaties and their history on the Bad River Band website. Absolutely utilize the tools available to you to educate yourself about this further, please and spread the word!

Bonus materials;

The oil pipeline laying in the Straits of Mackinac — is 21 years past it’s intended lifespan. A Line 5 rupture would impact 700 miles of Great Lakes shoreline, take years to clean up, and would devastate our Great Lakes economy — putting 214,000 Michigan tourism jobs at risk. The Great Lakes are 20% of the world’s freshwater — we can’t afford to contaminate them with oil.

Their PDF handout about the case:

I want to highlight their demands for people who just saw that wall of text and skipped it cuz this is important:

This is a decently nuanced 14 minute interview about how turning on Line 3 affected native communities; how most are still just taking actions to survive through ongoing oppression and colonization, how activism isnt a luxury a lot of people can afford with mouths to feed and systemic oppression keeping them in cycles of poverty.

Stand with the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa

It shouldn't be on them to fight Enbridge on their own and nobody should be forced to choose between their people or their planet. Uplift their voices and make their demands known and make it known that they're supported and they're not alone.

I want to know more about Valley! Both her name and design are absolutely STUNNING!

Valleyfrost | 13 | Cold She/Her | ???

Valley has incredible strength, this being a Gift she was born with.

She not only has the strength equal to a Rottweiler but the body mass too. Meaning she's not only gonna pummel whoever she fights, she isn't exactly easy to push around by a single cat.

She's also an unusually fast runner, so very much a fast and hard hitter.

She's a second born of Soot’s kits and often feels like the most overlooked. With Moth being the very clear favourite and Crane being the very opposite, which is a form of attention on its own.

Valley's very close to her siblings, with a tentative relationship to her Apa, but a distant (though still positive) relationships to Silk and Dew.

She looks the most like her mother, inheriting very little from the Chasing bloodline.

She's loud and abrasive around her family, but she clamps up pretty consistently when interacting with strangers, simply fixing them a nasty stare when possible.

Valley is very observant and has been piecing together clues to the larger picture faster than the others have. Doesn't mean she knows anything yet.

Even with the rules in place, Valley very often sneaks away to be alone, sometimes actively looking for Takers. She's convinced she can take them in a fight.
