What do you make of my Facebook profile when you read (say, the last dozen) posts and comments closely?

Please tell me about your experience, your feelings or uncertainties, what you feel you need, or what you see.

Greater participation this conversation, for me and many others, acutely life-saving.

We are continually coordinating the nonviolent dismantling of sex trafficking networks.

Your help is requested.

Our work safeguards all communities through inclusive activities and resourcing.

We especially center severely affected, multiply marginalized individuals who cannot find help anywhere else.

Our primary efforts are based on Telegram messenger, our safest and most supported community platform.

Telegram messenger is also my communications aide that allows me to participate in further conversation and collaboration, as Facebook platform severely harms & disables me.

Be directly involved by contacting me via Telegram messenger at @maxmorris, chat attached to https://t.me/s/maxmoradio, or add'l options at https://intuitive.social/hello/max.

Thank you for your responses and for reaching out to me.

' "Ultimately our work as Indigenous researchers is not primarily a matter of convincing non-Indigenous peoples of our right to exist as Indigenous peoples nor of convincing them of the worth of our ways and of our scholarship, although such resistance to colonialism certainly matters. Rather, our task is to produce knowledge that makes sense in terms of our lived realities, experiences and challenges. Research must be of practical value first and foremost to our communities. Any other considerations of research are simply secondary to this primary concern for us. In other words, we are not ‘doing’ social science for the sake of doing social science but as part of our struggles to decolonize our existence and move towards liberation."

-Aileen Moreton-Robinson, George Sefa Dei and Makere Stewart-Harawira, in "Unspeakable Things: Indigenous Research and Social Sciences."

The world has forced Indigenous youth to get a college degree, "or else." Or else you won't have respect, you won't have money, you won't be able to care for a family, you won't be intelligent. At the VERY SAME TIME, we are forced to lose our souls in the pursuit of this degree. We get caught up in gaining approval from a colonial paradigm dictated to us by those who seek our conquest. The truth remains, at this point in time, many of us lose mobility or ability to alter our world without these dang degrees. One loophole here is creating Indigenous programs of study of, for and by Indigenous peoples. Places where we create our own degrees, our own standards, our own research objectives, to gain the approval of none other than the ancestors, while still gaining "marketable" skills that can contribute greatly to society. Still, the ideal would be to create a world where we don't need these "degrees" period. But could this be a good stepping stone for the time being? Regardless, if you are a native youth caught in the university system, remember you can use that as a tool for your liberation and it's okay to settle for nothing less. '

Intuitive Public Media works to coordinate common denominator situational solutions that center Black, Indigenous, Jewish, & all People of Color who are severely disabled, violently intersectionalized, multiply-marginalized, & cannot find help anywhere else.

We build active, daily community relationships that include both severely affected survivors and our able-bodied, intersectionally privileged allies.
