Whats the end goal with the whole "give natives their land back" thing? If every tribe get their unseeded territory back and became countries they would be amoung the poorest in the world gdp wise, I dont see that spicific outcome as a good idea for the people who live there, the tribe, global trade, or anything else.
I mean thatâs not how Indigenous people view lands.
Theyâre not big fans of arbitrary borders or even capitalistic notions of success (i.e. GDP). Indigenous people generally do not view land as property or something one should profit from.
Give Indigenous people back their lands, and they can use it as they see fit, as they have for thousands of years prior to the founding of this âcountryâ.
Also if we were to carry through with that hypothetical where each âtribeâ (Nations. Weâre already nations.) gets back their land, Canada would also need to give back the billions of dollars in trust that constitute First Nations monies. And thatâs not counting the billions in resources that have been taken from the land.
The Last Words Of Famous Writers
When youâve dedicated your life to words, itâs important to go out eloquently.
Ernest Hemingway: âGoodnight my kitten.â Spoken to his wife before he killed himself.
Jane Austen: âI want nothing but death.â In response to her sister, Cassandra, who was asking her if she wanted anything.
J.M Barrie: âI canât sleep.â
L. Frank Baum: âNow I can cross the shifting sands.â
Edgar Allan Poe: âLord help my poor soul.â
Thomas Hobbes: âI am about to take my last voyage, a great leap into the dark,â
Alfred Jarry: âI am dyingâŚplease, bring me a toothpick.â
Hunter S. Thompson: âRelax â this wonât hurt.â
Henrik Ibsen: âOn the contrary!â
Anton Chekhov: âI havenât had champagne for a long time.â
Mark Twain: âGood bye. If we meetââ Spoken to his daughter Clara.
Louisa May Alcott: âIs it not meningitis?â Alcott did not have meningitis, though she believed it to be so. She died from mercury poison.
Jean Cocteau: âSince the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking towards me, without hurrying.â
Washington Irving: âI have to set my pillows one more night, when will this end already?â
Leo Tolstoy: âBut the peasantsâŚhow do the peasants die?â
Hans Christian Andersen: âDonât ask me how I am! I understand nothing more.â
Charles Dickens: âOn the ground!â He suffered a stroke outside his home and was asking to be laid on the ground.
H.G. Wells: âGo away! Iâm all right.â He didnât know he was dying.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: âMore light.â
W.C. Fields: âGoddamn the whole fucking world and everyone in it except you, Carlotta!â âCarlottaâ was Carlotta Monti, actress and his mistress.
Voltaire: âNow, now, my good man, this is no time for making enemies.â When asked by a priest to renounce Satan.
Dylan Thomas: âIâve had 18 straight whiskiesâŚI think thatâs the record.â
George Bernard Shaw: âDying is easy, comedy is hard.â
Henry David Thoreau: âMooseâŚIndian.â
James Joyce: âDoes nobody understand?â
Oscar Wilde: âEither the wallpaper goes, or I do.âÂ
Bob Hope: âSurprise me.â He was responding to his wife asking where he wanted to be buried.
Roald Dahlâs last words are commonly believed to be âyou know, Iâm not frightened. Itâs just that I will miss you all so much!â which are the perfect last words. But, after he appeared to fall unconscious, a nurse injected him with morphine to ease his passing. His actual last words were a whispered âow, fuckâ
Salvador Dali hoped his last words would be âI do not believe in my death,â but instead, they were actually, âWhere is my clock?â
Emily Dickinson:Â âI must go in, the fog is rising.â
tag urself im simultaneously roald dahl and h.g. wells

I happily accept messages from friends who tell me I reblogged from someone trash because I canât possibly know everything and I appreciate being told and given a chance to remove a reblog instead of people secretly thinking Iâm terrible
I always loved drawing animals but I ended up drawing mostly people these days. Hoping to do more animal art in the future! Iâm loving new SAI 2 scatter brushes and excited to test them more :D Iâll be sharing the brushes as part of the March Patreon.com/Yuumei rewards :)

Sabrina & Salem - A snow day, a slow day ^_^
Finally watching Lucifer all the way through and while I love it, this show is terrible for anyone who gets second-hand embarrassment real easy.
I spend half the time laughing and half the time cringing.
@centaurs-arejerks I paused Love Handles over a week ago to pace around and still havenât restarted it. I canât handle how awkward Chloe is being
The intro is several levels of embarrassing and itâs like getting punched in the solar plexus repeatedly
I was able to get through the intro and the awkward conversation outside the crime scene (it took forever but I got there) but I had to stop it at her innuendo and wink at the crime scene. The emphasis on Luciferâs âWTF?!â face just made it worse

Afrofuturism: Why black science fiction âcanât be ignoredâ
One study of the top 100 highest-grossing films in the US showed that just eight of those 100 movies had a non-white protagonist, as of 2014.
Six of those eight were Will Smith, according to diversity-focused book publisher Lee and Low Books.
The long-term exclusion of people of colour from science fiction offers up an interesting paradox.
How can a genre that imagines a future of infinite possibilities be seemingly unable to imagine a future where black people exist - or at least have any relevance?
Herein lies the power (and importance) of afrofuturism, and while you may not have heard of the term, thereâs a good chance youâve been introduced to it already.
Afrofuturism is perhaps best summed up by the queen of contemporary afrofuturism herself â Janelle Monae.
Her futuristic music videos and radical aesthetic (she even calls her fans âfAndroidsâ) are seen by some as a key force for pushing afrofuturism into the mainstream.
âAfrofuturism is me, us⌠is black people seeing ourselves in the future,â she explains in a 30-second video clip for Spotify.
It is no surprise then that Janelle cites the movement as the inspiration for her new narrative film, Dirty Computer: Emotion Picture, a visual accompaniment to her latest album (which is currently trending on YouTube).
John Akomfrah (a founder of the Black Audio Film Collective) directed a documentary about Afrofuturism called The Last Angel of History, if anyone wants more info on the genre. It focuses mainly on music but it explores the history, themes and aesthetics.
Itâs from 1996 so itâs a little dated now but itâs a fascinating.

When they say ânot all white peopleâ
Itâs Hamletâs time to shine.
When I explain cultural misappropriation to children, I use the example of The Nightmare Before Christmas. Â
Itâs effective because especially for children, who donât have enough historical context to understand much of the concept, you can still fully grasp the idea. Â
There was nothing wrong with Jack seeing the beauty and differences in Christmas town, itâs when he tried to take what is unique about Christmas town away from those it originally belonged to without understanding the full context of Christmas things is when everything went wrong.
When Jack tries to get the folk of Halloween town to make Christmas gifts for children, etc., children understand that the Halloween town folk do not have the full context for the objects they are making, and they are able to see that the direct repercussions and consequences are very harmful.
what i like about this is the implication that if jack had taken the time to understand christmas town, bringing christmas to halloween town would not have been harmful. thatâs how it works, folks. cultural sharing is GOOD, itâs only misappropriation when itâs done in ignorance and disrespect.
Thereâs an interesting level here in that Jack tried to understand Christmas town. He could see the magic while he was there, and he did try to explain it that way to citizens of Halloween town.  But they werenât interested in the kind of life he was describing, so he started ârebrandingâ Christmas so that it was not like Christmas but was like Halloween. The people of Halloween town, never having actually encountered Christmas, have no way of knowing that what theyâre being told about Christmas and âSandy Clawsâ is inaccurate. Jack also tried to study Christmas and its culture, though he couldnât quite get it; eventually, he literally decides to take it for himself, even as he knows itâs not really for him.  He started out feeling sad the others in Halloween town didnât âget it,â but he then decided itâs not important to fully âget itâ but instead to have it.
So itâs not just accidentally removing things form their context; he has intentionally disregard the meaning of the rituals he purports to be recreating, making them more fun for the recreaters but not like what the rituals are supposed to be and without the related significance.
This is the best way to conceptualize the wrong way to share culture I have ever seen and I think I finally get where people are coming from when they talk about âcultural appropriation.â

The original version of Monopoly was actually created in protest of monopolies. The inventor, Elizabeth Magie, believed in a system of shared land value and designed the game as a teaching tool to address the problems and immorality of land monopolies - but she only made about $500 off of her game because some guy stole her idea, sold it to Parker Brothers, and kept all the royalties for himself. Source Source 2
More Detail:
Magie created multiple versions of The Landlord's Game, with the purpose of teaching the economic theories of Henry George. It became popular in universities, both as a leisure activity and a teaching tool. It's assumed Charles Darrow (Monopoly "inventor") learned the game from friends. He made some changes and sold it to Parker Brothers.
Elizabeth Magie had her own deal with Parker Brothers to sell her games. For awhile, Parker Bros. sold both The Landlord's Game and Monopoly at the same time but did nothing to promote the former. They ended up recalling and destroying The Landlord's Game. Ultimately, Parker Brothers and Darrow got rich off the game (Darrow was the first millionaire games-maker and Parker Brothers wouldn't have made it without Monopoly) while Elizabeth Magie was paid $500 for the idea with no royalties.
