If this is my last tweet I went out with a bang and I have no ragrets.
I started a new notebook for all my scattered Ojibwemowin notes but I wanted to add a little extra encouragement for myself too so I popped in this photo of @taikawaititi for some extra help 🤣🤣🤣 #anishinaabe #ojibwe #ojibwemowin #anishinaabemowin #languagelearner

I have two posts in FB groups where I'm asking for help in doing my nails, and how to get my compost pile cooking hotter. I keep mixing them up and getting confused about why someone's telling me to put chicken manure on my fingers and cuticle remover on my compost pile. 🤣

I logged into Instagram today and got a pop-up saying my account was banned (?! - I barely use it, and only to post the same stuff I do elsewhere - ?!). None of the buttons on the app are working anymore. Seems like the universe keeps pushing my towards TikTok 🤣😤
