In a moss-draped rain forest in British Columbia, towering red cedars live a thousand years, and black bears are born with white fur.

aaaa i just watched the most beautiful documentary about this forest and possibly this exact bear today!!

click here for the link to the site

it’s narrated by detective pikachu (aka ryan reynolds) so that’s already a point in favor. also they involved not one, but three indigenous nations in the film’s production!

When people assume Celtic = Irish I get a strong urge to stab myself in the eye.

No no no no no no. 

Sit down we must have a conversation.

There were 6 Celtic nations.

Éire, Cymru, Alba, Kernow, Breizh, and Ellan Vannin.

Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Cornwall, Brittany, and the Isle of Mann respectively.

They’re all related, but not the same. They all have different languages descended from a similar group, Irish (Gaeilge), Scottish (Gàidhlig), Manx (Gaelg), Welsh (Cymraeg), Cornish (Kernowek), and Breton (Brezhoneg). Some are more widely spoken than others, for example Welsh is still commonly spoken in Wales, whereas hearing Cornish in Cornwall instead of English is rare.  All Celtic nations have varied mythology and culture. Irish Mythology is different from Breton Mythology, and even Welsh and Cornish mythology (arguably the most related Celtic Nations) have subtle differences to each other. I wish I could add more about the cultures at this time but my knowledge of Celtic nations is primarily made up of the history and languages of those regions, particularly Cornwall. 

You might have notice that England and English are missing from this, because the English descended from Anglo-Saxons, who were German invaders that came to the isles right around the Fall of the Roman empire in the 5th Century, erasing the Celtic influence in what is now England. 

So what this all really means is that Celtic is an umbrella term, and just because it’s Celtic doesn’t mean it has anything to do with Ireland at all. So don’t assume that just because someone’s talking about something Celtic that they’re talking about something Irish.

I love you for this. I love learning and this day started in a good note.

There is even a 7th, not officially recognized Celtic Nation in Spain (and a bit of Portugal), Gallaecia! It’s not an official Celtic Nation because its native language, Gallaic, has unfortunately been extinct for more than 1000 years. But there’s still some remnants of the culture, and musicians from Galicia and Asturias participate in Celtic music festivals!

just going to say in general that it’s really frustrating and disheartening the way that people on here (or a lot of people in lgbt discourses/ spaces in general) respond to the trauma of trans men/ trans masculine people. we can’t talk about our bodies as sites of violence -and i mean this broadly, self-inflicted violence brought upon by lack of mental health resources especially for young ones, sites of sexual violence, bodies bound and wrapped, violence brought on by homophobic, transphobic, or (yes, even) misogynistic attacks- because often the specific & insidious ways we are harmed forces us to use language that doesn’t align with the ways in which we are/categorize ourselves (ex, the story of the trans man who got sexually assaulted because the assailant assumed he was a woman)

i see you all hesitant to even call the violence we face transphobia, hesitant to let us acknowledge that misogyny DOES and ALWAYS WILL be detrimental to us because of the bodies we have that are caught in a grey area because our voices are absolute jokes in conversations about OUR OWN reproductive rights & access to medical care; oh, and why do trans men get famous again? for being porn stars or getting pregnant; constantly devalued in this weird duality of not-womanhood & manhood (which can be fully realized only through OURSELVES); others seeing our departure from womanhood as a destruction of someone else’s property

you make it a chore to acknowledge our inconvenient bodies & to understand the directions our experiences & narratives will go. i know so many of us who will never talk about what we go through & i see the rest of you gladly turning a blind eye to it

[borrowedfeathers]

There seems to be a bit of an elephant in the room surrounding this post, so I’m just gonna haul it out into the open: I know that this post probably unnerves a lot of people because they feel that if they acknowledge the capacity of trans men to be subject to misogynistic violence, they must by extension be implying that trans women are incapable of being subject to it — or worse, capable of perpetrating it.

And I need to ask because of that…why? Why would something as cruel and illogical as the workings of the gender binary, transphobia and transmisogyny necessarily have to respond to the logical confines of a zero-sum game? It seems that its irrationality would defy that model rather than confirm it. It is indisputable that in terms of interpersonal violence that trans women, and trans women of color especially, are more subject to violent transphobia — any year’s TDOR statistics will tell you that. But is the logical next step to say that trans men, as opposed to merely saying they have a generally lesser risk of violence, have no risk of violence? I mean, in a larger sense anyone who’s not a cishet, able-bodied white man has a body that’s treated as a target in substantial areas of the world. If we’re talking about physical bodily risk and the trauma that ensues from it, as opposed to identity issues like whether X group can claim Y slur, does it really matter if the person who was assaulted was so for the “wrong” reasons?

And why, furthermore, is there so much pressure to basically retcon our identities once we’ve realized we’re not cis? Even I as a nonbinary person feel anxiety about this whole business, and the stakes are definitely higher for binary trans people in some respects. There’s a big difference between acknowledging a new place in the material imbalance of gender upon coming out to oneself, whether in terms of gaining or losing patriarchal respect and privilege, and feeling compelled to say “whoops looks like I gotta adopt a Born This Way narrative now because otherwise when I talk about my past it’s Problematic.” That’s not a healthy way to look at ourselves at all and it’s disturbing that this way of thinking has become default in some circles.

If a TERF so much as looks at this post I will destroy you.

Inside Siberia’s isolated community of forgotten women. Photographed by Oded Wagenstein.

“In the remote village of Yar-Sale in Northern Siberia, live a group of elderly women. They were once part of a nomadic community of reindeer herders. However, in their old age, they spend most of their days in seclusion, isolated from the world they loved and their community. While men are usually encouraged to remain within the migrating community and maintain their social roles, the women often face the struggles of old age alone.It took a flight, a sixty-hour train ride from Moscow, and a seven-hour bone-breaking drive across a frozen river to meet them. I immersed myself in their closed community, and for days, over many cups of tea, they shared their stories, lullabies, and longings with me.On this series, the memories of the past, represented by the images of the outside world, are combined with the portraits of current reality.

By doing so, I tried to give their stories a visual representation. One that could last after they are already gone.  

(*Like Last Year’s Snow is a Yiddish expression – referring to something which is not relevant anymore)”
