This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What's weird is saying "native" and "indian" interchangeably in 2024.
I'm falling into the old person category lately but prefer to stay in the know. What is the proper nomenclature in 2024?
"Indigenous" seems to be acceptable most people. When you know them personally, use their nation or tribal affiliation. Like if your friend was Korean, and you only referred to them as "Asian," it might feel like you don't care about the difference.
I've had members of the Métis community tell me to use "indigenous" with a mixed group because in Canada the Métis and the Inuit don't fall under the Indian Act.
