happy pride from the trans flag on the floor in deep space nine

[garashir]

hey friends where is that picture of boromir with the gondor flag except its a pride flag?

[lesbiansforboromir]

Couldn’t find it so I made another because you’re right that it’s a crime and it’s definitely my duty to remedy it

gonna be real asf and morbid here: currently in the USA from my perspective as a black American, in the south they are creating worse voting protection for black voters in Louisiana iirc (jim crow shit essentially) black girls (in the UK too) keep going missing, there is a black femicide. black teens and folks are being murdered and essentially lynched. and their deaths in vain and lost to time because our skin and features don't match the white American. things are scary here.

[rabbitkinglune777]

they wanna teach you that lynching is non-existent after it was outlawed but that's not true, black folks are still being murdered, our fatalities feeding the greedy American soil that has countless blood on it around the world. I'm scared.

Hey yall I just wanted to come on here and bring some attention to what’s happening at the detention center (really a concentration camp) Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey. There is a hunger strike going on right now to protest the abhorrent conditions within the camp (allegations of torture, maggots and other bugs in the food, etc) and protests happening outside the camp. ICE is not allowing any politicians to come in (as is their right) to see the conditions of the camp. I would urge yall to do your own research, but if you want videos of some people who are actually there, here are some tik tok accounts you can go follow: @ bethanyquilter/ @ whoiskingtrivv/ @ Status Coup News/ @ L.A. TACO

And here is a video explaining what’s going on in more detail than I provided.

With everything else going on in the world, it can be hard to keep up with stuff going on at home, but ICE is still out here terrorizing innocent people. We must keep our eyes on them, and keep fighting.

Feel free to add more sources or info to this post, should you have any.

I found this linktree here that has a master list of ways to help the detainees inside Delaney Hall: https://linktr.ee/SupportOurFamilies

SupportOurFamilies | Linktree

Please support immigrant families by donating to the GoFundMe's below and purchasing supplies via Amazon Wishlist to support detainee visito

I have heard that protestors outside need medical supplies, but I can’t find the best way to provide that if you are not nearby.

[thebleeding-heart]

their needs are changing rapidly, they mostly need Sudecon wipes and gas masks, last I heard, but the only way is to bring them directly there. for the most part they are asking people to join them there and hold the line, if possible. next best thing is to donate and call NJ reps to demand an end to the detention and torture!

More pieces from the Vinita Cultural Center from last year's basketry exhibit

[tsulasgi]

#the museum i worked at had a collection of these baskets!!!#they are like #idk its hard to describe them #they dont look quite like regular baskets they look like so beautiful #anyways check out the Mountain Heritage Center's exhibit on cherokee/rivercane baskets to learn more

Yes, for some reason I don't think they had any Rivercane baskets at this exhibit, the Vinita cultural center is a bit small so maybe that had to do with it? But traditionally Rivercane baskets look like this:

(credit to Lizzie "Nannie" Youngblood and Rowana Bradley, artist unknown for the Chief's Heart shoppers basket)

The basket pictured in the post is likely commercial round reed (with some flat reed), the commercial form of the materials we would use such as Honeysuckle, Buckbrush, or Trumpet Vine. Many Western Cherokee picked up round reed basketry due to lack of supply of Rivercane after the forced removal to Oklahoma.

I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to in regards to this post but I am a tribal member who is posting this and these were taken at our own museum within our own territory in Oklahoma. This information provided is provided by our knowledge keepers and elders.

I am one of these people you talk about being alive, sharing my culture 🙂

[lanthir]

I strongly dislike how "some museums have unethical practices, and repatriation of stolen goods should be a high priority when applicable" has morphed into "all museums are evil, and museums are an unethical and untrustworthy source of information by nature."

Uhm,, sorry sweatie, but we have no principles and are glad to abandon your human rights for a handful of votes that we're not gonna get anyway bc we don't believe in offering anything to anyone either 😍🥰😘

[quasi-normalcy]

It seems like if you’re concerned about literal fascism, mass demonization and rollback of the human rights of unpopular subaltern groups is something that should the fucking well concern you.

[regicide1997]

first they came for the trans people, but I did not speak up, because I was too concerned with the abstract concept of opposing fascism to actually do anything

Didn't realize they made emergency thermal blankets for babies

[sparklebog]

It's scary to think about babies in an emergency but I guess it's a crazy world out there

I do think there is a lot of straight romance stuff that feeds into heteronormative tropes which are harmful and patriarchal but I gotta be so real with you guys, I read “hetslop” now in so many contexts where it’s just about being a misogynist that it’s lost any meaning.

[amvs]

ppl who don’t make an effort to listen to their partner(s) abt their interests bc they “don’t like it” scare me

[amvs]

exactly. it’s not about whether you like it or understand it. it’s about sharing their joy and learning about who they are.

[amvs]

Real and true

[mothinthetrees]

Also the best relationship building skill you can master is the follow up question. Being able to ask something that says you follow enough to do that is amazingly satisfying for the person who is sharing. Even if the question b is what a term means or how something works.

[apatheticfluorescence]

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

[headspace-hotel]

Shakespeare is like this

[insufferablepirate]

Every time I see a Van Gogh that’s not one of his better known pieces it absolutely blows me away

Have you seen this shit my liege? smh unreal
