Metis Nation of Greater Victoria invites you to join for the annual Knowledge Keepers Gathering! This is an event where we highlight and showcase Metis knowledge from academic researchers, Metis-focused research, to cultural knowledge holders, storytellers, artists, musicians and dancers.

This event is free, for anyone and everyone to attend, and there is no registration required.

*I'll update with more detailed info, closer to event date. A few things are still being worked out.*

Part of my thread that's coming later this week will also discuss how being treated like shit/being disbelieved here (after getting swatted by a pathological liar who owns a huge Canadian instance, with a lot of ignorant supporters who seem unaware or don't care that their guy swatted me) - severely triggered my PTSD on being disbelieved when I tried reporting being SAed as a teen. I was bullied & ostracized for trying to report SA. People believed the rapist & not me. It brought up the same angry, disappointed & people are fucked feelings.
I had almost left Mastodon completely, due to that.

The Epstein Files triggered both of those hella horrible life memories, again. I'd never been swatted before Chad Ohman chose to send that racial violence to my home, shortly after my Dad died. That night was full of unnecessary police traumas too. I'm sick of people pretending to care & I find out they don't, when shit hits the fan.

I don't need fake support. I don't need cowardly folks. That shit ends up hurting me in the long run. I don't need any fucking devil's advocates either. Go hang out with Satan.
