The best dates are those that make you think, critically think about the world we live in, that encourage questions and reflection on capitalism, racism and imperialism, that cultivate conversations that challenge us and the norm and most importantly that it plants and nurtures a collaboration to continue fighting for brown and black bodies. #letsbereal #itgetsbitter #truthhurts #darkmatter #transformation #weareworthy #wearebeautiful #poc #saynotocorporategreed (at Seattle, Washington)

This is the Mexican accent iiSuperwomanii keeps imitating (from this vlog). She still doesn’t think she’s being offensive, has imitated and referenced the mexicana’s accent in three vlogs now,  and is using #mypleasurelady like it’s a wonderful joke.

Sorry to call out someone I looked up to but 2016 is the year i’m gonna speak up. No que #girllove?

why making fun of mexican+latino accents is harmful

why imitating “minority” accents in general is offensive

Almost no career path is inherently designed to “help humanity” when it exists in a capitalist vacuum. People in medicine, economics, engineering, teaching, etc always face a harsh reality when they graduate from school: the system isn’t organized to help anyone, as they expected. Medicine is developed (under competition without collaboration) for a certain class, economics is nothing more than bourgeoisie economics, engineering further enhances the first world with speed and leaves the developing world in the dust, teaching is reduced to standardized tests which are intended to filter out a certain kind of student and transform them into a person who can contribute to the greater function of capitalism. It’s more or less up to you to develop your career, whatever it is (almost), into one where you can make the difference you intend to make. There will be no “good” footsteps to follow within your career choices.

Melaw Nakehk’o at The Revenant premiere 

I knew that I wanted to wear Indigenous designers to the red carpet. It was the world premiere of The Revenant, and the movie was with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy — probably two of the biggest names in Hollywood right now. So I knew it was going to be a huge deal, and as one of the only female characters in the film, I had to bring it the best I could.

[talesofthestarshipregeneration]

who is she wearing?

[note-a-bear]

I’ll see if I can find it, but I tagged it as writing inspo or fashion, there’s another post with the names of all the designers the Native leads wore

[garconniere]

She is wearing one of Christi Belcourt’s collaborations with Valentino. More photos of it and details from Nakehk’o here.

Also, if you’re interested about The Revenant and Indigenous representation, there are two good reads. Jesse Wente’s The Revenant is not an indigenous story (Jan 14, 2016) or Smudging, sweat lodges and cultural accuracy: on set of the Revenant (Jan 10, 2016)
