Let me get this straight. You both went to the same school. Yet someone came back with a degree that’s useful, and the other one came back as Asian Ellen. — Crazy Rich Asians (2018)

People love natives in such a superficial way. People wanna stand with natives when we’re talking about the trees, and the land. People wanna stand with natives when we talk about philosophies of love and togetherness. But as soon as it’s time to talk about political side of being native. About dismantling a system built on the genocide of our people. About how we need a new system that isn’t built upon capital gain and benefitting white bodies. About putting up a fight. About how the colonial state we reside in is a disgusting imperial plague on this land. Suddenly y’all don’t wanna talk native.

"They spent hundreds of years trying to assimilate my ancestors, trying to create indians like me, who could blend in, but now they don’t want me either. They can’t make up their minds.

They want buckskin and face paint, drumming, songs in languages they can’t understand recorded for them but with English subtitles, of course. They want educated, well spoken, but not too smart. Christian, well behaved, never question. They want to learn the history of the people, but not the ones that are here now, waving signs in their faces, asking them for clean drinking water,

asking them why their women are going missing, asking them why their land is being ruined.

They want fantastical stories of Indians that used to roam this land. They want my culture behind glass in a museum.

But they don’t want me." -Shelby Lisk

the prince of egypt (1998) dir. steve hickner, simon wells & brenda chapman “a single thread in a tapestry, though its color brightly shine, can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design. and the stone that sits on the very top of the mountain’s mighty face, does it think it’s more important, than the stones that form the base? so how can you see what your life is worth, or where your value lies? you can never see through the eyes of man. you must look at your life… look at your life through heaven’s eyes!”

I don’t like people who are quick to judge. You meet some very judgmental types in this industry. We’re floating in a fishbowl of labels. That’s dangerous, yeah. There’s lots of facets to people, that’s what we as actors are trying to explore. So it kind of goes against the grain of what we’re doing.

@pjosnet​‘s september games: olympian gods

The great and amorous sky curved over the earth, and lay upon her as a pure lover. The rain, the humid flux descending from heaven for both man and animal, for both thick and strong, germinated the wheat, swelled the furrows with fecund mud and brought forth the buds in the orchards. And it is I who empowered these moist espousals, I the great Aphrodite.
