listen I know anti-native racism is not specifically talked about a whole lot and also is deeply ingrained in American culture in a way that makes it difficult for a lot of people to recognize. And like I’m not going to tell someone they’re irredeemable scum for reposting the two wolves inside you meme or dressing up as a cowboy or not being super thoroughly educated on the history of thanksgiving. But at the end of the day the normalization and lack of education around Indigenous history and anti-native racism does not absolve you from your responsibility to learn about these things and to correct your behaviour. It should not be the responsibility of natives to coddle you just because your government didn’t spoon-feed you the history of it’s own worst crimes. You gotta do the work.

is there an opera based on the dybbuk. there should be

we’re so lucky that gilgamesh survived and is a banger. can you imagine if we found the oldest written human story ever recorded and it sucked balls.

whether or not men benefit from feminism has no bearing on whether feminism is worthwhile

put another way. i dont care about how men are impacted by feminism

already have people mad about this. okay here's another take. men should be feminists for no benefit.

just as white people should be anti-racism for no benefit, and cis people should be pro-trans for no benefit. the only "benefit" that should be required is the creation of a more just world, not because you, personally, actually do get something out of it.

hey white people . if u dont know how to pronounce an ethnic persons name *google it* or if its someone ur talking directly to *ask them*. dont fucking do that "erm i dont know how to pronounce but __" or "im gonna butcher this haha" or "im not even gonna bother trying" . ur not funny. do u know what poc think when they hear u saying that ? u sound like a loser asshole and we dont want to spend time with u . im so fucking tired of watching youtube videos about media from my country and hearing those phrases. im tired of people saying that to my face . i respect someone who clearly looked it up and is tryong but says my name wrong over someone who just goes with whatever bad first guess they had without trying. u have too many resources at ur disposal to keep doing this. for the love of god just Fucking Try. if ur confused Just Try.

I highly recommend Forvo.com, the website where native speakers of a language contribute their time and voices to read words and names in their own language. It is a fantastic way to expand your world, open up your ears, and it's way more likely to nab a hit than just googling.

wow , I didn't know this existed, thanks so much for sharing the resource !! I will absolutely be using it now too 🖤

Well that’s not very in love with me of you

they used to make smackable technology. you used to be able to hit your tv when it didn't work good.

It just shifted to spanking your puppy’s ass, to make them take that thick knot. Like the good little play thing they are.

i don't really think it's like that at all

This is the national dance of the Philippines, called Tinikling

undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal

Was just thinking about this the other day. Yeah I have a favorite seat on the bus (middle of the bus, near the back doors, slightly elevated, facing forward), but I don’t get upset if someone is already sitting there, I just pick one of my other favorite spots. Then I realized that most people probably don’t have a favorite bus seat, let alone a series of backup favorites.

every time i remember that photo of the little inuk girl with her puppy i engage in inconsolable hysterics

Comfy even
