The biggest crime here is paying people starvation wages and not donating the food. Capitalism is a death cult.

[brunhiddensmusings]

and yet somehow independently owned food service places can afford to pay better wages, give food to their workers, often give excess or old food to homeless, and still the managers/owners dont go broke in those cases

I worked for a Marco's where we were only allowed to drink water and couldn't eat messed up food. Only pizza was discounted.

I work in a nice resturant now where I am allowed, even encouraged, to eat what I want shy of the $40 steak. We use work supplies to make cookies for everyone.

Fuck corporate bs

It’s October!!🎃

[tsg2k19]

I’m sorry, I just can’t forget that Elizabeth Warren claimed to be Native American. I just can’t trust someone who reached that level of peak whiteness.

[macleod]

Her mother told her when she was younger that she was, she wrote an essay on her heritage for college based primarily on stories from her mother.

Last October she did release a report on a DNA analysis that was said to show a pure Native American ancestor appeared in her ancestry “in the range of six to 10 generations ago.” 

All in all, they were able to conclude that she does have native american ancestry, not as much as initially believed, but nonetheless an adequate amount. We need to take another step forward and keep in mind that genetic testing/analysis for ancestry has only been possible in the last 10 years (three years for consumer markets). She wrote her paper in college, and believed her mother all of her life That is why she said that.  Ancestry is a hard thing, especially prior to modern technologies as they were all based on stories being passed down to descendants ad nauseam, not on anything substantial like we have today. 

[ms-cellanies]

Just have to add:

Elizabeth Warren DID NOT claim to be Native American.  She reported that she had some Native American ancestry.  Those are 2 very different things.  She didn’t make a big deal out of it.  Trump, otoh, did by calling her POCAHONTAS.  Which one do you really think was behaving poorly?

[generalpirategentlemen]

It’s not like apologize was all she did:

She appeared at the National Indian Women Honor luncheon a few months ago to support a Native Leader from Massachusetts, who was winning an award, and she got a standing ovation.

She has also been working on legislation with Rep. Deb Haaland (New Mexico), the first Native American woman to serve in Congress that seeks to address funding shortfalls in tribal lands.

Even her critics admit she’s addressed the issue, to an extent, well:

Julian Brave Noisecat, a Native American journalist and activist who has criticized Warren previously, has said: “Based on my conversations with tribal leaders and advocates, the consensus position is that she’s one of the strongest allies of Indian country in Congress. She has good relationships with tribes across the board. And I think that’s relevant.”

Mr. Noisecat also said the ancestry matter had become double-edged: “More than any other Democratic presidential candidate, Ms. Warren has caused the most upset among Native American communities, but has also probably done the most outreach and is more vocal on issues that effect tribal citizens than other presidential candidates.”

María Urbina, the national political director of the progressive group Indivisible, said she and other liberal leaders were encouraged by Ms. Warren’s decision to apologize. Going forward, Ms. Urbina said she expected liberal activists to take their cues from Native leaders on whether Ms. Warren had adequately addressed their concerns.

“Native leaders and native people should be the ones to affirm — or not affirm — whether her record shows if she’s been an ally,” Ms. Urbina said. “That’s absolutely important.”

Things people who are unfamiliar with IT need to be prepared for before seeing Chapter 2 (kinda spoiler warning?  I won’t try to go into great detail):

There is a very graphic suicide scene that will more than likely be shown in it’s full gory amount.  If that is something you will not be able to handle, I would not suggest seeing the movie.  

The movie WILL include a scene dealing with discrimination and a hate crime.  There is a scene in the book where a gay couple is walking home and one of them (perhaps both, but the graphic part only happens to one of them for sure) gets attacked by a group of men.  He is cruelly beaten and thrown off a bridge.  Something absolutely horrific happens with Pennywise at the bottom of the bridge, but I will not be spoiling that.  (Might I ad, the only reason they were attacked was because of the hat he worse.  It read “I <3 Derry” which Pennywise can be seen holding in one of the new pop dolls.   

The movie WILL be dealing with Beverley’s abusive husband.  You can see on her wrists that she has bruising, which has most certainly been caused by her husband.  This scene with the two of them could be very very serious and could also be very very triggering for some people.

The movie includes what has been called the bloodiest scene in horror movie history.  

This movie will be A LOT darker than the first one.  Things were different and not nearly as dark as they will be in the new one.  

Remember, the first movie was revolved around CHILDREN and CHILD LIKE EXPERIENCES.  There will be some darker and more serious material in this film.  

I heard on an interview that there is a scene dealing with flashing lights which may or may not trigger epilepsy.  I am sure they will comment on this if it will for sure have any possibility of triggering a seizure.  BUT.  IF THEY DO NOT, PLEASE GO ABOUT THIS MOVIE WITH CAUTION.

I know, most people who will be attending this film will be able to handle it’s graphic content, but people need to understand that this movie will be EXTREMELY GRAPHIC.  There will be lots of blood.  Lots of scenes involving cutting.  Several deaths.  And a lot of forms of abuse.  

There are multiple deaths in this film.  Two of them involving main characters.  

The movie will definitely be different than the book, so all my warnings may not be accurate and I will update after seeing the film.

This is all I have for now.  As more material comes out, I will update this post.  If any of this seems triggering to you or will make you uncomfortable, DO NOT SEE THE FILM.  This movie will be very scary and intense.  Please share to bring awareness to those who are unsure.

Has anyone else used uTalk to learn South Saami?

I've been trying out the free starter words, and so far it seems accurate, but I know an incredibly small amount of South Saami.

Any opinions about it?

rawest fucking florence and the machine lyrics in no particular order:

no more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone

want me to love you in moderation, do i look moderate to you?

this will be my last confession, ‘i love you’ never felt like any blessing, whisper it like it’s a secret only to condemn the one who hears it

because i am done with my graceless heart, so tonight i’m gonna cut it out and then restart

tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks and the kindest of kisses breaks the hardest of hearts

but the loneliness never left me, i always took it with me, but i can put it down in the pleasure of your company

at seventeen i started to starve myself, i thought that love was a kind of emptiness, but at least i understood then the hunger i felt, and i didn’t have to call it loneliness 

the fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress

it’s an even sum, it’s a melody, it’s a battle cry, it’s a symphony 

but i know it’ll have to drown me, before i can breathe easy

to the crowd i was crying out, and in your place there were a thousand other faces

and it’s over and i’m going under, but i’m not giving up i’m just giving in

in a moment of joy and fury i threw myself from the balcony like my grandmother, so many years before me

and it’s peaceful in the deep, cathedral where you cannot breathe

i know i seem shaky, these hands aren’t fit for holding

i’m not beat up by this yet, you can’t tell me to regret, been in the dark since the day we met, fire help me to forget

it seems that i have been held in this dreaming state, a tourist in the waking world, never quite awake

shower your affection, let it rain on me, pull down this mountain, drag your cities to the sea

and i did cartwheels in your honor, dancing on tiptoes, my own secret ceremonials

a year like this passes so strangely, somewhere between sorrow and bliss

in the spring, i shed my skin and it blows away with the changing winds

i swallow the sound and it swallows me whole until there’s nothing left inside my soul

and i want you so badly, but you could be anyone 

i was in the darkness, so darkness i became

There was a little girl in church, about 5, and her parents obviously let her get dressed herself that day because she came waddling in with the puffiest coat on in the summer in North Carolina. She comes and sits in the pew in front of us. 15 minutes into mass she turns around and hands my husand an orange. Her parents are mortified.

“Savannah not again!” They scold! (Again kills me)

They appologize and she turns back around. A few moments later she goes to hand me an orange but her parents grab it from her before she can.

Savannah is determined. She reaches her tiny fists into her puffy coat and pulls out two more ornages. She begins to distribute them. Her parents are now beat red and in shock. There is no stopping small Savannah now.

This small child proceeds to laugh a laugh I can only call maniacal (in a Catholic church) unzip the inner line of her coat and releases what had to have been 20-30 of those little kid oranges into the pews.

WE EAT Savannah yells cackeling

The priest can no longer contain his glee

The entire church is dying with laughter

She felt like Jesus on the moutian with the baskets of fish that day I’m sure.

Children are amazing.

It helps for the sake of discussion to define Asexuality as ‘A sexuality that is self-contained; not requiring an other to define it’.

But…

Let’s combine that with ‘you can have some sexual attraction sometimes under certain conditions and be Ace’.

So, this self-contained sexuality is solely self-referencing, yes? But not solely self-interfacing (aka not solely masturbatory or even solely no-sexual-stimulation-ever). So an ‘allo’ would have to be:

Someone with no self-oriented sense of sexuality; someone who must be referencing an ‘other’ mentally or physically in order to experience sexual ideation. So it’s suggesting to be allosexual, one cannot at any time (Because remember the expanded definition suggests that if you’re ace but weren’t always, or feel like it fluctuates for you, that’s Ace) develop, have or become aware of one’s sexuality as an internal energy, self-originating quality, or something that does not need to be ‘aimed at’ an other in order to be experienced.

And also someone who at all times experiences a sexuality that’s about an Other, or one oriented around an Other. And I think at this point it would be useful to remind people that the -sexual at the end of things like bisexual and homosexual doesn’t mean ‘sexual activity’ it means the sex- as in the old term for gender- of the attracting party.

So a lot of the time what is being argued that differentiates Aceness from..the presumed not aceness of others is the idea that LGBT identities are about sex specifically and not attraction (which is kind of how we ended up with that absolutely messy split attraction model that I will call the No Homo Delusion). Which is why we saw so many Aces going out of their way to tell people how different and un-sexually-motivated they were- off of this assumption that same*-sex attracted people’s IDs were about having and wanting sex specifically and exclusively. Which is why on THAT end it was considered offensive, and hypersexualizing, and belittling. 

*(and other, of course)

IDK there’s a lot of mess that needs to be actually talked out and I’m just tired of seeing other aces and a bunch of people on ‘Uncritical & Defensive Yes Man Mode’ so ready to attack what is actually really necessary dialogue that is had in any other arena of the community. We need to be here for each other, yes, but that doesn’t mean words stop meaning shit and logic doesn’t have to apply. It’s bull that people are pushing for this definition of LGBTQA+ that means ‘all marginalized identities’ because now I legitimately have less-oppressed people than my intersections-all-over ass trying to downtalk me for saying homophobia and transphobia are the foundational issues of the label.

Like what kind of oppressive cisheteronormative erasure b.s.?

Let’s start a thread of indigenous characters who no longer belong to their undeserving creators:

Piper McLean

Zoe Redbird

literally every Dalish elf ever

literally every Native character in Twilight
