hi! so i was wondering; do you have any writings by indigenous authors about what a decolonized and anti imperialist socialism would look like? or anything in that sort of vein? just off the top of your head though like you don't have to go digging on my part! i just need to be pointed in a direction lmaoo
Nick Estes, Our History is the Future. The entire book is dedicated to Standing Rock as an example of the possibilities.
I have lukewarm feelings towards Glen Coulthard, but his essay was one of the first on this in English:

Anne Spice and Julian Noisecat had an article touching on this in Jacobin:

There are some non-Indigenous authors worth reading to think about this. Tom Hayden’s The Zapatista Reader is a heavy book but it’s one of the best in English for learning about the ELZN has to offer intellectually and practically for the world.
Harhsa Walia has some great essays on solidarity and ending settler colonialism for a better future.
I haven’t read The Art of Not Being Governed in forever and it wasn’t exactly my favourite when I did read it, but it’s still worth looking over, even just as a “what not to do” when writing about indigenous people you don’t belong to.
I haven’t read Rob Nichols’ Theft is Property yet, it’s new, but the title alone is exciting for thinking about this.
There are others, Leanne Simpson and others writing about Indigenous solidarity and futurity but I’m not including them since they’re pretty explicit about not fitting labels like socialism et al.
Sometimes it is very important to be awkward, inelegant, jerking, to be neither poetic nor prosaic, to be positively bad. To express other possibilities for bodies, alternative values, to stop making sense.
— Zadie Smith, “Dance Lessons for Writers,” Feel Free
I do as much as I can, but as a chronically ill person who stays in bed 99% of the day, I always feel guilty for not being able to do more, particularly direct actions. Do you have any advice on feeling less guilty/ overwhelmed about not being able to do more (financially and physically) to help others?
Anon you asked the right person because whenever I get depressy this is the narrative my brain jumps right on, that I’m not doing enough and I’m a bad person who should be working harder
The way to counter this is to realize that laziness does not exist. I remember one time recently that depression worm was on a kick like that and I had the thought, “I could be doing more.” I immediately sat up and shouted, out loud, “No I can’t!”
Because the fact that I get so guilty about it clearly demonstrates that I want to take action (and I do! I’m very motivated to do stuff like that!), and I can say the same about you, anon, since you came to me with this question. So if I do genuinely want to do more, but I can’t get myself to do it, then what’s stopping me can’t be my choice. It’s my neurotype, my mental illness, the traumatizing crushing weight of a social system built to extract as much profit as possible out of me at all times, etc. I literally can’t do more, and it sounds like that’s even more physically true about you, anon
Maybe this got a bit too personal, but I hope it helps. What I’m trying to stress is that we’re all doing the best we can, and comparing yourself to others in different situations than you and concluding you must be bad or lazy just isn’t fair. There’s no such thing as laziness - don’t push yourself, don’t beat yourself up, just try to live a good life and take care of yourself. That’s what we’re fighting for, after all
