Today? Yeah. Back then? No.

I get the feeling you’ve not been told about all the death and disease Native Americans experienced in reservations, especially at the beginning. The only real difference is reservations did not have buildings…they were just wastelands.

Came here to say the same thing.

Also, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was better than it had a right to be.

Me, too. Got Sync as soon as it was available and haven’t looked back.

There are villages in NE…I think maybe there aren’t a ton, they have very small populations, and most people don’t live in them, so they don’t know what the difference is.

There definitely are villages throughout the USA, but I lived near some in NE specifically. They do not have their own police or much government…and are significantly smaller than a town.

Stew or Roast

Pkt of either stew or roast seasoning (or brown gravy pkt if you’re out of the other stuff) Meat, cut up for stew or whole for roast Potatoes, cut however you prefer Baby carrots on top

That’s it. Slow cook on low all day or high for 4 hrs. Use the juice to make gravy (add a little cornstarch or flour and bring to a boil) Enjoy!

Hey…just need to put this out there.

I’m sorry my government has the dumb. I am so, so embarrassed by how things are going and how horribly rude my so-called “leaders” are being to literally everyone.

I am not like that. I respect you and your country. I want to cry when I think about how Zelenskyj has been treated. I know many, many people just like me. We are NOT like our government. We are scared. Some of us are trying to get out of the country, but many of us literally cannot…for a host of reasons, many of which involve how little money we have been able to save while this is all happening.

I’m just so sorry. Not that this fixes anything. I’m just desperate to tell SOMEONE that. I hope you have a good day…and rest easier knowing I echo every sentiment of your post.

Art Therapist. I am the services director at a youth shelter. I oversee the art therapy and psychology interns and the other staff, making sure we are providing the appropriate services (shelter, life skills, therapy, case management, fiduciary, etc) and are generally meeting the needs of our clients.

Additionally, I get to be the handy man…because stuff needs to get done and I’m the one with the drill and willingness to climb a ladder.

I got my current job due to my degree in art therapy. But before that, I worked in an embroidery shop. My kids have special needs and I wanted to be available for them while they were young. I replied to an ad for an embroidery specialist (without any training), and they hired me to run the shop based on me having a good work history, good education, and the expectation that I would be around for a while.

TL;DR. Most places just want to see that you’re dependable and willing to work hard. Build up that reputation and you can branch out into different fields a little. Just apply to anything you are interested in. Good luck!!

Ooo, also Our Flag Means Death, only 2 seasons but such a great show.

What We Do In The Shadows, delightful and so wrong on so many levels…lol

Someone else already said it, but I agree so strongly, I gotta restate…Reservation Dogs…heart-warming and with great character arcs.

It is so unbelievably good…on Hulu. Well worth checking out!
