in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

Don't care didn't ask plus here's a beautifully animated ad for a French supermarket that was made by actual artists

War crimes have consequences.

Nos EUA, hoje celebram o tal "Columbus Day" (o 12 de outubro, que em muitos lugares vem sendo ressignificado como "Indigenous Peoples Day") — criado, em grande parte, por causa do lobby dos chamados "Italian-Americans," e mantido porque casa bem com a idéia do "American exceptionalism." Por orgulho pátrio (por mais que Colombo nunca tenha pisado em território estadunidense), homenageiam um monstro genocida.

Nas aulas de história, se fala muito em Colombo, mas poucos ouviram falar de suas primeiras vítimas, os Taíno, povo caribenho de origem Arawak. Hoje celebramos a memória deles e dos inúmeros povos massacrados pelo genocídio inaugurado por Colombo e seus "Reis Católicos".

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

A few of my own words about the situation:

I want to help even in a small part to support the cause. As an artist this has sincerely caused me a lot of stress in the last couple of weeks (if you don't count the small ways in which it has always loomed over mine and other creator's heads for years).

emphasize on how bad this censorship is and how awful its effects are, speak about the ramifications of this decision world wide and how you and practically everyone who is affected by this needs this to change, action needs to be taken now!!
