“It’s really about trying to tell the story with something else than the screenplay and the dialogue. When you’re dealing with a genre movie and you’re working with types, you need to deal with them and tell the story in a very simplified and very effective manner. And I try to do it with design, gestures and colours. These things are the things that I lay down in every movie and I hope people notice that they’re there.” - Guillermo del Toro

Mark Zuckerberg is a despicable misogynist and a capitalist pig who sells all of our private information, and is responsible for selling that to the people who used it to ensure the election of a crypto-fascist president, but this site reaaaally needs to stop with the “secretly inhuman / alien / lizard person” jokes because he is jewish and that shit comes DIRECTLY from literal antisemitic conspiracies started and propogated by genuine neo-nazis so why is it so hard to just not do that?

“I just did a video with Zayn Malik [for “Let Me”], which is obviously inspired by the movie. He was so excited to meet me and we got into some conversations about the movie. Zayn said that “Scarface” really influenced his life — before music even did. He said he had all the posters in his room in Bradford, England, and he knows the dialogue. He also has a globe that says, “The World is Yours,” in his house in LA. He had it ordered to be exactly like the one Tony has in his fountain in the movie! I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m gonna go over to his house to see it soon. We’re almost like best buddies now!”

with 4/20 coming up here’s a reminder that if y'all support the legalization of marijuana you need to also be supporting decriminalization + the release of everyone in prison right now for marijuana-related charges (some of whom are serving as much as 20+ years) just as hard, if not harder.

if your pro-marijuana activism only supports white people starting weed shops and getting rich off of it while there are people of color and other marginalized people in jail whose lives have been ruined for doing the same thing and people still getting arrested every day for it and you just…don’t give a shit about that, that’s not cool.

Yesterday, a Saami elder saw her traditional home burnt down by the Swedish Enforcement Agency.

In short, the traditional turf hut, which had been put up by the elder on the same spot as an earlier turf hut dating back to the early 19th century, represented an active critique of the settler state’s colonial laws, which have all but stripped our people of our collective right to self-determination.

Consequently the turf hut had to go, and so, much like the drums of our ancestors, it was consumed by the flames of colonialism.

In order for a settler state to be successful, it has to make sure to silence and get rid of anything that challenges its self-appointed right to colonise another people’s ancestral homelands.

In clearing the land of any traces that prove that we, as Saami, have a tangible, lived and powerful connection to our ancestral homelands, the Settler State commits an act of physical and mental violence which, in turn, constitutes a re-writing and active white-washing of our history.

But we will not remain silent any more.

However, as a people, we cannot allow our outcry against what has happened today turn into a game of lateral violence. Any discussion that trivialises this tragedy by pitting reindeer herding Saami against every other Saami instead of attacking the colonial government and its laws, shifts the focus away from the real issue at hand, i.e. the colonial abuse that we – collectively as a people – suffer at the hands of the Settler State.

It’s easy enough to pit abused members of a people against each other - the State knows this all too well. Sweden has done its utmost to make sure that we continue to bicker amongst ourselves; while we’re busy questioning each others’ indigeneity and right to live on and off of our ancestral homelands, the government gleefully continues to bleed Saepmie dry.

Make no mistake, the Swedish government’s pockets are comfortably lined with our natural resources, but if we find ourselves fighting each other over access to our basic human rights, we won’t have the time to unite and challenge the one who stole our rights and lands in the first place.

Those white lesbians that used their Black son for this photo op?

Yeah…they killed their kids.

thundergrace

That report I read was like ‘there were no skid marks’ and mentioned that it’s unclear how they drove all the way over the big ass area on the side of that road and off the cliff THEN said “there’s nothing to suggest it was intentional” THAT suggests it was intentional.

christel-thoughts

Right!! All of us with critical thinking skills knew what was up when “no skid marks”.

karnythia

I remember when that picture was taken they claimed every Black person that expressed concern for what they they were teaching those kids just didn’t understand they were teaching the kids to live “fearlessly” And all I could think was how scared that boy looked & not in a “Learning to swim in deep water” way, but actual terror. And well, now we know what he was really afraid of & it wasn’t the cops.

The Devonte Hart Case Highlights a Profound Racial Disparity in the Treatment of Child Abuse

“The Hart’s story is a tragic case study in racial disparity.

The ways in which Sarah and Jennifer managed to continually evade the notice (or action) of officials is a luxury that is by and large only provided to white parents.

All three of the states that the family lived in received reports of child welfare concerns, and yet apparently the children were never removed from the Harts’ care.

The disparity in ramifications for suspected—and confirmed—child abuse is particularly striking when compared with the jail time black mothers receive for something like leaving their kids at a food court while they were doing an interview less than 30 feet away. X Or for testing positive for marijuana after giving birth. X Or for only being able to afford an apartment where your landlord won’t fix a rat problem. X

The criminalization of poor black and brown mothers’ parenting practices is a well-documented phenomenon dubbed ‘Jane Crow.’ X” ~Hampton, Salon
