ROSELLE TEA ;; a term for blasian queers who feel disconnected from both asian and black cultures due to being mixed, like they're both "not black enough" and "not asian enough". Similar to satra palm and skipper butterfly but for blasian folks. Exclusive to bodily blasian folks (including diaspora)

MEANING ;; The roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is a type of hibiscus known for its deep red stems and culinary and medicinal properties, specially for its delicious tea that tastes like cramberry, hence its other common names: florida cranberry and crambery-tasting roselle. Despite being famous in Central and North Amercia, this plant is native to tropical Africa and Asia. It has significant importance in several cultures across both continents.

EXTRA ;; Transfemmav 2nd monthiversry event!

[pt. nanticoke queer flags. end pt.]

flags coined by an indigenous queer belonging to the tsalagi and mvskoke nations, requested by an indigenous queer who belongs to the nanticoke nation

the design feature a central brown stripe, which is representative of connection to the earth and land. the flag is also meant to reflect the green over blue in the nanticoke nation flag, which represents land located on the north shore of the indian river

the turtle in the center of the center flag is featured in nanticoke nation seals, as well as a frequent appearance in nanticoke art. turtles are sacred figures that represent life, creation, stability, and the earth. on the turtles back is a medicine wheel. the central images on the left and right flags are different nanticoke nation seals

have you noticed that it's "trans men are men" and "trans women are women" but "nonbinary people are valid?"

have you noticed that it's "love trans women" and "love trans men" but "respect nonbinary people?"

have you noticed it's "brothers" and "sisters" but not "siblings?"

have you noticed that it's "transfem" and "transmasc" but not transneutral, transandrogynous, or otherwise?

have you noticed that nonbinary characters are sorted into "masc" and "fem" but not allowed to be anything in-between or outside?

have you noticed that it's "lesbian" and "gay" but not cenelian, or enbian, or gai, or strayt, or any other nonbinary-focused attraction label?

have you noticed that it's "yaoi" or "yuri" but any nonbinary equivalents are jokes?

have you noticed that everything is this or that?

have you noticed the binary?

apologies if this is derailing i just saw the tags and went !!!. as a japanese person im also agreeing with these tags of it being disliked. why is it always japanese words specifically being turned into meme or a western token to collect/use a lot? i know it's not just western US who does this but it's the biggest example yknow. if you mean gay in general say gay, if you mean lesbian in general say lesbian. can you personally identify with yaoi and yuri? absolutely!! i do as well! but it comes off as odd to almost exclusively use yaoi/yuri in place of real attractions. yaoi/yuri isn't an attraction, it's a media category. it's a type of story. it's also a heavily fetishized and a sexually portrayed media. that's a very weird media to be using in place of real attractions

it's also a media that isn't as inclusive of nonbinary people the way most of you (general) are using it. yaoi doesn't mean gay, it means men relationships (og definition is specifically male but now includes men regardless of sex), yuri doesn't mean lesbian it means women relationships (same issue of above with og specifically meaning female but now includes women regardless). yaoi can be gay men, bi men, pan, aromantic, etc. but it's men. same with how yuri can be all of those labels but is women. thats placing a binary on lesbian and gay when you choose to call it yuri/yaoi instead. that excludes those not part of it

the other issue of making joke terms that imply nonbinaryhood or other labels isnt a real experience worthy of a proper word is also icky. there's a difference between personally categorizing yourself and doing it to the whole label. you are treating labels outside of man and woman like it's fiction. like it's a joke.

there is the term kaori, it was coined on tumblr and is meant to be a real used word for media that works with japanese language rules. it's made for those who aren't strictly men and women. but it's still a media so don't go replacing enbian with it.. just wanted to offer that term as some info. sorry if words weird in any of this. schizophrenia+dyslexia wording evilness

Misanthropy ✦ My own take on a misanthropic flag. It is meant for those who have trauma or disorders which cause their misanthropy, but anyone can use it. The shades of red represent hatred, distrust, and aversion of/towards humanity. The off-white represents healing, mental health, and peace. The blue represents avoidance, trauma, pain, and sadness. The shades of grey represent avoidance, isolation, apathy, and removing oneself from humanity. The colors are in circles to represent "holing oneself up", keeping to oneself, and/or hiding oneself/one's feelings.

[pt. Happy National Indigenous History Month!!. end pt.]

in canada, national indigenous history month is celebrated in june to recognize first nations, inuit, and métis peoples! as tumultuous as this year has been for indigenous people, i want to celebrate our continual resistance through joy and presence!!

———

for this month i’d like to send some recognition to indigenous mogai creators, particularly canadian first nations, inuit, and métis creators and coiners! (if you see some not listed here who you’d like to be, please let me know)

@pupgendered a métis mogai coiner who has coined terms such as métis queer and métis plural!

@anigitli a mixed native coiner who has coined terms such as ethnivariant mi’kmaq and indigigirl and indigiboy

@radiomogai a métis and jewish coiner and archiver! they have a wonderful archive with tons of indigenous and non-indigenous coins

@isuggestlandback a canadian cree creator who posts lots of indigenous awareness, politics, and important commentary

@lucidsdog a canadian inuk furry artist who is very talented and frequently has commissions open!

@ladyimaginarium a mixed mi’kmaq, métis, and more creator who’s posted several coins such as mi’kmaq / i’nuk intersex and two spirit

———

i’d also like to take the time to include some resources for both native and non native people interacting with this post! these resources are focused on canadian first nations, inuit, and métis peoples, but can be used for a wider range of nations!

indigenous resources network - an organization that was established by Indigenous workers for Indigenous workers to provide a platform for workers, business owners, leaders and their allies who support full Indigenous equitable inclusion in the natural resource sector across canada

indigenous women’s fund of canada - supporting programmes for Indigenous women’s education, empowerment, micro-loans, healing centres, museums and other important activities

ive recently been thinking about the violent maltreatment of indigenous peoples in north america. i would like to ask if you know of any resources to help educate others on this crisis? anything helps; articles, statistics, important dates, donation pools, etc.

i sat and thought for a moment earlier, trying to think of indigenous liomoqai creators to message about this issue, and honestly, you're the only one i could think of. so if there's also any indigenous liomoqai creators/archivists out there that you'd like to give a promo, also feel free!

thank you so much in advance. have a good timezone!

Hm... We don't have a lot of resources on-hand for this, but the final report from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (link) has information about, well, MMIWG, and the website at that link has other documents as well. I think of the Moose Hide Campaign (link) also. If you live in Turtle Island, I would also recommend looking up information about whose land you're on and seeing if the nations in your area accept donations or have storefronts. Even just poking around the websites of various nations is good, it can help with learning more about the identities of individual nations and combatting that idea of a homogenous Native American race!!

Do not allow people to downplay racism and speak over the voices of those impacted by it. Ensure you are extending care where you can, and if you are not in community with POC... Examine why!!! When times are rough, everyone deserves a safe place and something to lean on.
