watching a mash episode for the first time in a while is like *first thirty seconds* those are my friends…. those are my best friends that i love and miss every day of my life *rest of the episode* what the actual fuck did they mean by all that someone call alan alda immediately we need to talk

Ok ok OKAY, I always assumed that the idea of Jennifer stifling Rodney’s personality was mostly just a way to write her off as a bad match for him in fic. But I watched Brainstorm the other night and that is a LITERAL thing she does. She’s immediately out there trying to change him instead of accepting him for who he is AND MIGHT I ADD, JOHN DOES NOT DO THAT AND ADORES RODNEY FOR WHO HE IS. (AND HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO GO WITH RODNEY IN THAT EP.)

did classical athens do something problematic

happy PRIDE i’m here i’m queer and i believe the land should be given back to the proper indigenous stewards.

Non-Natives reblogging this are great and wonderful

Please remember that "land back" does not mean "indigenous people are mystical elves with innate epigenetic wisdom of land stewardship and they don't belong in big cities," nor does it mean "non-indigenous people can't be farmers." What it DOES mean is that "non-indigenous farmers should be paying the equivalent of property taxes to the native governments their land was stolen from." It means, "there's a great deal of indigenous scholarship on sustainable agricultural practices that farmers should be taking into account, because indigenous agriculture was more advanced than European agriculture at the time Europe invaded the Americas and western agriculture *still* hasn't caught up in terms of figuring out how to produce equivalently high crop yields without compromising the ecosystem." It means, "non-indigenous farmers should be in an intellectual discourse with indigenous agricultural scientists and indigenous peoples that still do traditional farming, figuring how to repair the damage western farming practices have done to the ecosystem."

It also means that indigenous peoples should regain the right to sustain themselves on the land according to the practices they want, and they should have free reign to perform their cultural practices and protect their holy sites, as opposed to the current model where if they try to honor their dead on public lands they get violently removed.

Thank God for ok.ru and Eastern Europeans who upload shit movies on there
