😔 It’s been a really hard 3 weeks since surgery. I’ve been having bad reactions to antibiotics and refuse to take heavy oxy painkillers 💊 Unfortunately, I have to go through another surgery because a screw is coming loose and it looks like it’s ripping a shoulder ligament.
i tried to channel big PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM 👑 energy last week 💟 chi-miigwech // thanks for having me @frequencies_ and photos @i_am_chernilo 💗 #toronto #electronic #dj #indigenous #anishinaabe #ziibiwan #nimkiiwitch
Miigwech ❤️🩹 for all the loving messages. Nothing can prepare you for the loss of a younger sibling. I’ve had many in my life who left too soon but this hits differently. My little brother Jeremiah, was suffering from BATTEN’S disease since he was 5-7 years old and he was in a vegetative state for a few years now. Us four brothers grew up together, always finding the light and beauty in everything around us. Scared to go home to shitty dad abuse 🙄 we would just look for bugs to foster. I remember his love for grasshoppers and weird fishes. He was actually the wittiest and most artistic out of us four. Jeremiah The Bullfrog ALWAYS knew what he wanted and even late in his suffering still put people on their place. I hope when I pass - I can meet him and see all the things he created that I wish I could’ve seen on this dimensional plane 💖
massive respect to ASINABKA! most people don’t know but this is the very first gig i was asked to perform at in 2015, and that was before i found out Christopher Wong was my uncle 😬🥰 anyways - this set was ruined by someone who wasn’t mentally okay but the scene and community made my heart melt ♥️🍓💪🏽🌺 thank you all so fucking much 🌹 I’ll be back for PRIDE, hope to see yous soon 😌💜♥️🥰
a few days ago, our family dog, Mya passed away after a long 17-year well storied life 🤎🍓 she was always a gentle little sister. i love that i got this picture of her in a photoshoot 🥀 i taught her how to dance for skittles when she was a puppy and it’s always been the funniest/strangest things she never moved on from, the candy 🍬 💗 it really does feel like losing a sibling but i’m happy she’s not in pain anymore ♥️🌹🐕
🫐 i’m not gonna lie and say it was easy but i finished my treatment at ngwaagan gamig. i’m really grateful to so many who cared and helped me make it through. these past two ½ years have been heartbreaking and i lost all my faith. so many untimely losses, health issues, substances, and suicide attempts stripped away my spirit. it took a lot of courage to face the traumas and pain that caused me to spiral into the darkest pit of my life but now i can truly feel myself again…
i thought i’d have more to say but honestly, i’m just looking forward and making healthy decisions right now and keeping my head high with grace. i wrote my life story in a journal but burnt it at the end which was so intense and liberating. i also burnt letters of forgiveness and apologies but i’m gonna continue to build myself first before facing anything else right now. i don’t have any anger or spite in my heart, i’m just so grateful and safe.
this was my first time staying on my rez for that amount of time, i can see why my mishom talked about it so much when he was with me. i really do have a deep connection to that land <3 i’m gonna miss it but i’ll come back for the powwow and hopefully work there in the future <3 <3 <3
