"Note to reader:
This piece is meant primarily for non-Indigenous people living on Indigenous lands. It is supposed to confront, while simultaneously comforting your uneasiness around land back and reparation conversations and actions. Please take your time in reading this, exploring where in your thoughts and body your discomfort shows up. Acknowledging and unpacking how it makes you feel is an important part of personal growth. Also this is only an opinion piece: recognizing the diversity of Indigenous teachings, governance and lived experiences means that Indigenous people will have different interpretations of this topic. "
When grandmothers and knowledge keepers say it, I tend to think it means more the stewardship and protection of mother earth. When Indigenous political leaders say it, it often means comprehensive land claims and self-governing agreements. No matter what meaning is attached, we as Indigenous nations have an urge to reconnect with our land in meaningful ways.
This is primarily about the First Nations of Turtle Island, but I believe the premise of it applies to all indigenous people harmed by colonialism worldwide. Simply apply this logic to the place where you are.
And it's a Very good starting point for understanding the concept of Landback. It has some ways you can start supporting Landback and even lists accounts to follow. Please click and read though it~

DIZZY ISY SAVE FILE VERSION 7
Hello Dizzy Isy fans! I'm absolutely thrilled to announce the long-awaited release of Version 7!
I'm so sorry for the delay; unfortunately, my time to work on Dizzy Isy is very limited due to various challenging circumstances.
The save file is now updated for the Horse Ranch pack and Chestnut Ridge. I sadly don't have the latest EP yet, so that will just have to wait. Nevertheless, I hope you find joy in this new version of the save!
♥ What do you get? ♥
VERSION 1 OF DIZZY ISY (STILL AVAILABLE HERE)
VERSION 2 OF DIZZY ISY (STILL AVAILABLE HERE)
VERSION 3 OF DIZZY ISY (STILL AVAILABLE HERE)
VERSION 4 OF DIZZY ISY (STILL AVAILABLE HERE)
VERSION 5 OF DIZZY ISY (STILL AVAILABLE HERE)
VERSION 6 OF DIZZY ISY (STILL AVAILABLE HERE)
…PLUS…
209 custom clubs and icons (+7 than v.6) with points/rivalries and custom activities.
Lots of details of custom books to find, interesting tombstones, photos with past histories and mysteries etc.
♥ When you enter the save♥
There are 3 empty lots.
There are 19 empty houses (12 starters, 6 under 100k, 1 under 120k). (I have now labelled the starters so it is clearer.)
There are 18 rentals in holiday destinations.
There are 2 free apartments.
Secret lots in Mt. Komerebi renovated.
Selvadorada and Strangerville adventure/mystery unplayed.
Conservation efforts not completed in Sulani.
Evergreen Harbor has many community project opportunities.
Neighbourhood Stories disactivated.
Voting and Eco Footprints also disactivated.
___________________________________________________________
It is a busy save file with many lots filled to stop random spawning of townies but the empty lots will soon quickly fill up with townie families if you don’t use them.
The townies are clearly marked in the unplayed tab with the #townies so you know who is meant to have a lot and who isn’t.
___________________________________________________________
♥ What do you need? ♥
❥ ALL THE PACKS apart from Journey to Batuu and For Rent
❥ Kits used: Fashion Street kit, Incheon Arrivals kit, Desert Luxe and Carnival Streetwear kit
-You can still download this save file without all these packs or kits but some items might be replaced by substitutes, and we all know how those pan out.
❥ 150 MB of free space for this save file.
❥ Zerbu’s More Club Icons Mod (PLEASE DOWNLOAD FIRST!)
(If unavailable to you please download from here)
❥ Rex’s Custom Club Activities Mod (PLEASE ALSO DOWNLOAD BEFORE THE SAVE!)
♥ Recommendations ♥
❥ MC Command Center by Deaderpool.
❥ No Random Townies by Zero.
❥ No Random Hats Acessories and Makeup by Bienchens.
(Anything by Bienshens is amazing and safe to use in my opinion)
♥ How to install? ♥
Make a backup of your Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Saves folder
Download the file, unzip, and place files in Electronic Arts/The Sims4/Saves.
Open your game, enter the save. It is named “Dizzy Isy Save File By Isleroux and you should see Marc Duchamp as the last played household
"As the eldest child and scion of the Duchamp legacy nectar dynasty, Marc holds the coveted position of the golden heir to Whispering Oaks Estate and Vineyard. Amidst familial expectations, a brewing rivalry with his sister Marielle adds tension. Will Marc confidently uncork the future, aligning with his parents' aspirations, or will Marielle steal success from beneath his fingertips?"
___________________________________________________________
DOWNLOAD (SFS) or
DOWNLOAD (MediaFire)
(REMEMBER TO DOWNLOAD THE CUSTOM CLUB MODS FIRST!!)
**Lastly, if you find joy in the save file and wish to support me, perhaps you could consider buying me a coffee ☕ to help make future updates possible.
It's worth mentioning that despite the immense effort poured into Dizzy Isy over four years, I've chosen not to restrict access to my save files behind any paywall.
To those of you who have already extended your support, your kindness truly means the world to me. I want you to know that I see you, I appreciate you, and I'm grateful for your unwavering dedication, especially to those who have read this far down.**
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Happy simming! ~isy~ ツ

URGENT HELP NEEDED.
To anyone who takes the time to read this thank you. Over the past two weeks I have been struggling financially, I’m currently at my lowest mentally (due to the financial struggles and general anxiety over them) truthfully, I don’t know how I’m going to survive these next 5/6 days until I get paid again. I don’t ask as a lazy, selfish bitch but just as a person who needs help, if there is anyone in the UK who is able and willing to transfer me some money via bank account it would seriously be appreciated and so so graciously welcomed. Bank transfer is currently the only method of money transfer I can use unfortunately, and while I know that isn’t a lot of peoples preferred method, it is the only one I am able to access funds from at this moment. I am worried about keeping my lights on, eating, just basic everyday needs. If anyone can help me out, I will be so thankful, and I will provide content in return as a thank you. ❤️
