Great Chief Blue Horse

Great Chief Blue Horse (Šúŋkawakȟáŋ Tȟó) (c. 1822-1908) was a respected Oglala Lakota leader, warrior, and statesman from the Wagluhe Band, famous for his role in the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, his service as a U.S. Army Indian Scout, and his efforts to protect his people's land, even being known for saving white settlers, earning him fame in portraits and history alongside his brother, Red Cloud, in their fight for Lakota heritage.

Key Aspects of His Life:
Treaty of Fort Laramie: Blue Horse was a signatory to this pivotal 1868 treaty, which granted the Lakota ownership of the Black Hills and vast hunting grounds, though it was later violated.
U.S. Army Indian Scout: He was among the first Oglala Lakota recruited as scouts, forming a close bond with the U.S. Army and even traveling with Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show.

Leadership & Education: He served as Chief of the Wagluhe Band and was involved in efforts to educate his people, working alongside his brother, the famous Chief Red Cloud.
Legacy: Blue Horse's life mirrors the struggles and resilience of the Oglala Lakota through the 19th century, balancing warfare, diplomacy, and cultural preservation.

He fought his whole life to end slavery and endentured servitude of indigenous people, long after the Indian American war was lost

church hurt 

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.
I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
