RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nสkiโwah brother.

Yes, but worse yet because funding and orgs built to deal with all of that stuff are STILL being stripped of leadership or being dismantled. So, if things don't change, in a year or two... It's going to be worse than now... Than then. Local and state govt will be it.

The male loneliness epidemic & the term misandry are made up terms by men to further garner attention and sympathy for them. Neither exist. Men face no consequences to being disliked, women are massively affected by misogyny and lose their lives. Women fight for their lives, men fight for their ego.
