septum ring/Bulak appropriation question
Hi! I’ve been thinking about getting a septum piercing but I know nose piercings are extremely common in desi culture so I decided to look it up first and try to figure out if I would be appropriating.
Specifically, I want to wear a septum ring similar to Indian styles*, which is why I’m trying to be really careful.
*like this (oh my god the description of this piece used the phrase “tribal fusion”; I’m already feeling gross)
All I’ve found on the internet is that nose piercings have connections to a woman’s sexuality (but that website also said that bindis are the “third eye” and I thought I read somewhere that white people made that up ? I’m probably confused, I don’t know)
I’ve managed to figure out that septum piercings are called “Bulak” but I’m still not solid on whether it would be okay to get one.
If I’m reading correctly, nose piercings are one of the 16 bridal decorations but they’re worn every day, too ?
I also found this: “There is also a kind of septum (the dividing part between two cavities) piercing, which is equally popular as nose piercing, in Nepal and in northern parts of India including Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh. This nose ring is known as ‘Bulak.’ Such piercing is also practiced by in eastern India by some communities.”
and this: “the piercing was supposed to bringshanti on her husband- basically (what I garnered from my poor Bengali) anytime she exhaled, she would be bringing good luck on her mate.”
So basically I don’t want to assume anything and I thought I’d try just asking someone!
(I’m also going to post this and tag it so other blogs can see it too)
thank you so much !!! and thank you for running a blog like this, I know people can be really rude and inconsiderate (and racist lmao) to people who are brave enough to speak up like you’re doing and I’m sorry about that. Keep it up !!!!
If you want a piercing in the “Indian style” it’s probably going to be appropriative..

Just wanted to give you a little advice about oyster mushrooms. I saw a pick of your yield and they were super stemmy, not a lot of petals. This could be because they aren't getting enough moisture or good oxygen/co2 exchange. Hope this helps!
Thank you! That’s a very good tip. This was my first mushroom growing experience and I’m pretty sure the soil I stole from the park was more sand than soil. That being said, it was a fun experience and I’ll be trying again when I have more space / growing indoor did not make our landlord happy hehe
so here it is the official flag for QPOC that i designed. please share this lets flood the internet with this. the mainstream LGBTQIA+ media know that we are Queer People of Color and we demand visibility. we demand the right to control our own narratives we aren’t just here to fulfill your racial quota so that you can feel good about your selves. we are sick of being marginalized and trivialized. We are sick of your rampant racism. we are sick of your constant white washing. we are sick of being silenced.. we are more than just some kinky thing that you can try once. we are more than “thugs” your “latin papis” your “spicy latinas” or any of the other shit you want us to be. we are sick of being oversexualized we are more than your “exotic little play things”. the QPOC design show cases all the skin tones of Queer people of color from the lightest (north Asians and biracial people not white people) to the darkest it also show cases the power fist used in both the Black Power and Chicano Power movements this is symbolic of the unity we all have as Queer people of Color throughout the LGBTQIA+ community. please share this throughout your social media. contact me if you want the original high res file. @puto-loco @kingsleyyy @kh2rac @softwhorecore @bearsofcolor @blackgaysexycouple @theapatheticstag @ibarelyknow @foxtial

i don't give a fuck about how you fuck: or, your hot ass mess is not my revolution
your poly is only politically relevant to me if…
you center respect and love for women and femmes in how you do relationships.
you understand and care about how your actions in relationships are directly connected to the well being of your communities. (y’all know that this shit breaks up friendships and communities all the time.)
you are aware of and work to resist heterosexist and patriarchal notions of love that are grounded in ideas of capitalist property ownership, misogyny, and racism.
you respect any and all of your partners.
you do not pit your partners, hookups, or love interests against each other by being shady and shitty about communication — especially if you are masculine-identified and your partners, hookups, and love interests are women and femmes. *of course, when this happens, it’s “unintentional,” right? but when misogyny structures how we understand and do relationships in such concrete ways, you need to fucking fight as hard as you can to actually BE intentional. being unintentional in the way of, “oh it just happened,” or, “but i didn’t do anything wrong,” when what is naturalized is being careless about the relationships between women and femmes, then not having intentions or thoughts around all that is a problem.
you understand the importance of (and work to center) the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs and boundaries of yourself and your partners.
you understand how each of your relationships impacts all of the other ones. and you understand that the way you carry yourself in one relationship will show up in your others relationships.
you do not dismiss your partners’ jealousies, insecurities, or negative feelings as just them being “jealous” or “too emotional” or “not really getting it.” you don’t blame people for their emotions.
you accept full accountability for your actions when you are hurtful, unintentional, or careless in your interactions with others.
you do not dismiss others’ concerns about you being possibly disrespectful or misogynistic as them not being radical or sex-positive enough.
you understand that having the space/freedom to love and fuck however you please does NOT mean that you are operating in a vacuum. you understand that everything you do has consequences - and act with care.
you understand that poly is not about having the freedom to do whatever the fuck you want to. you understand that poly is about having the freedom to pursue your needs and desires openly without shame, and to hold yourself to being intentional and responsible especially because those needs or desires are about OTHER PEOPLE and OTHER PEOPLE’S BODIES.
you get that you are not entitled to the guarantee that everything you do/want will be okay with all your partners or your communities, esp when your actions will impact them and when people are always operating from different contexts, traumas, desires, needs. (aka, you don’t do disrespectful shit and expect your partners or friends not to respond just because you didn’t mean to hurt anybody.)
you understand the importance of informed consent — meaning, if there are things that are going on that might even possibly make someone reconsider cuddling with you, having sex with you, or being intimate with you, then you need to be open.
you don’t take consent for granted. ever.
you know how to set, talk about, and respect boundaries.
you don’t use your “poly” status to be emotionally neglectful and/or abusive to your partners.
you don’t treat people like they are expendable, disposable, or otherwise meaningless, even if it’s a quick fuck or a fling.
you communicate openly and honestly without withholding important information, especially when it’s hard.
the desire to love/fuck lots of people at the same time is not something inherently radical or meaningful. people have always wanted to love/fuck multiple people, whether or not that’s been in accountable ways. basically, if people are side-eyeing you about how you do poly/relationships it’s not always because they’re just colonized sex negative tools of the state or some shit lol.
(and thanks disorientd, seafoamknives, & lowendtheory for talking/thinking through a lot of this with me. all love. ♥)
