hey friends, if you care about cultural appropriation and the damage it causes, please check out this awesome project!

in 2017 dior copied the design of a traditional romanian coat from the county of bihor and sold it for 30,000 euro, giving no credit to the local artisans. in response, romanian fashion magazine beau monde helped the community create their own brand, bihor couture, which sells the original coat, handmade to order, for 500 euro a piece. they also sell other traditional clothing and jewelry for much more accessible prices (5-45 euro). they’ve been hugely successful so far, and currently have enough pre-orders to cover 4.5 years of work, with 100% of the profits returning to the community.

it’s surprisingly common for big name fashion designers like dior, gaultier, tom ford and altuzarra to copy traditional romanian clothing and sell it for ridiculous prices, with minimal original input, while giving nothing back to the community where these designs originated. it’s completely unfair that a big name designer can just steal so much hard work and misuse it to make huge profits.

please support bihor couture, if not by ordering one of their products, then by spreading the news around. it’s really awesome to see a small community fight back against cultural appropriation so successfully. i hope they carry on for a long time!

But like, when this is done to cultures of color, non-white, nothing happens. Like, I’m here for the people in Bihor, but it makes me wish more work was done just like this for African countries, Asian countries, Hispanic Countries, etc.

compassionatedoc-deactivated201

The people of Bihor did this for themselves. With the help of a Romanian magazine, they support themselves. The Romanian community posted this, reblogged this, and you saw and reblogged.

But this wasn’t done ‘for us’, work was not done ‘for the people of Bihor’. White people didn’t see this other ‘white country’, and sad ‘yes, let us help our fellow white citizens on this Earth while continuing to ignore everyone else’. The people of Romania and Bihor saw this and said ‘we must act’ and acted. Take this US-born concept of ‘cultures of color’ away from multicultural continents like Europe, where this thing does not apply.

This post gained traction on facebook in Romania, from romanian to romanian, and then on tumblr (as you can see, the tumblr that posted it is a Romanian tumblr). The tumblr explaining you this, vrabia, is a romanian tumblr. Nothing is ‘work done for’. We see it, we reblog it, we did it, we’re bringing it to light. We are doing it. It is work by, not work for. No one gave Romanian and Bihor anything. They/we did it.

You want this ‘done for’ other countries? Angelina Jolie is doing it through UN. Poeple are doing it. But work ’done for Bihor’ (done by) does not invalidate work ‘done for’ other countries and cultures. Let us have this at least, after all the world took Vlad the Impaler and vilified a national hero by making him a bloodsucker.

Vitamin String Quartet do covers of pop songs with classical string arrangements. Some of them are really close to the original, like:

Take Me To Church: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLs_-SXZGqE

Bohemian Rhapsody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjD80dBPelI

Wonderwall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvHkxAb3tNY

But others are just far enough away that they sound like classical music for a minute:

Pompeii: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIcDIZGlr9U

this oddly sad cover of Despacito: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAi-F1Io7gc

what do you mean u don't believe in the concept of virginity?

Nobody’s dick is important enough to change any part of my identity

conquererofcookies

Nothing about you changes when you have sex. Virginity is a concept that was created to control and to shame. The hiemen (or your “cherry”) doesn’t even break. Most women are born with one partially open already, and most girls end up tearing it all the way open while riding a bike or stretching.

Misinformation like that comes along with the concept of virginity. Think about how the “cherry” is known popularly now. It’s a fake concept intended to make it seem like you lose something or damage something after you have sex. They talk about the heimen like it’s your gift wrapping, like it belongs to someone else.

Virginity is crucial to the church and fear mongering their younger goers. It creates the most basic foundation for losing body autonomy and staying uneducated about sex.

Everything about the idea of virginity is man made and intensely capitalized by the church. Like everything else the church does.

YOU DO NOT LOSE WORTH IF YOU HAVE SEX.

NOBODY STEALS ANYTHING FROM YOU IN CONSENSUAL SEX.

IT IS CRUCIAL TO LEARN ABOUT SEX BEFORE YOU HAVE IT.

We need to stop making sex such a scandal.

Most people want sex.

A lot of teens want sex.

And IF YOU HAVENT NOTICED

12 YEAR OLDS MASTURBATE TOO.

We are LITERALLY TRAUMATIZING pre-teens, teens, and young adults into thinking their normal, HUMAN needs are shameful and wrong.

Stop letting a system that is famously full of shit and misogyny tell you about your body. They are fucking lying, and they want to make you believe what they want so they can hold the power.

slfcare

this is your friendly reminder that although social media is popular and everyone seems to have it, you shouldn’t feel pressured to keep up and you don’t have to be there for everything. it’s okay if you just watch youtube videos and tik toks and to delete instagram whenever it bores you or makes you feel insecure or anxious. there’s a world out there you’re allowed to experience without being part of this online culture.

shashawww

Social media is a dangerous place for a person who doesn’t truly know themselves. You’ll end up having other people’s opinion as your own if you’re a type that’s easy to persuade.

I used to think that having lots of opinions from others would help me better in making my decisions, so I always try to read every single thing that is related to me in Twitter/Instagram (plus I love to read, so I don’t really feel like wasting my time or anything when I spent it on reading stuffs)

But as I learnt and move forward in life, I realised that it was such a dumb thing to do. Having to incorporate other people’s opinion into your own life, like wth was I thinking?? I realised that I actually abandoned my own life principle by following the thoughts from social media instead of my own. Which leads me to feel anxious and restless all the freaking time.

The main key here is to actually stick to your own principle. If you feel like the stuffs you read from anywhere is aligned with your principle, then it is okay to take it in. But if it is the opposite, you should know on how to scroll it past and don’t let it influenced you. It’s as simple as that but it’s so hard to master it because at times you eventually fell for it too.

Eventhough I know what I want and understood what I need in my life now, there’s still no guarantee that I won’t fall into social media trap in the future. That’s why I’m slowly quitting some of it such as Twitter & Insta (since I spent most of my time on those 2 previously). I don’t feel regretful at all, just a tiny bit sad since I will miss a lot of updates regarding lots of things especially bout my friends. But I can always catch it up thru some other medium which is way more convenient & less distracting.

Be true to yourself, only focus on things that you truly want and never let others decide on how to live your life. It’s okay if you still doesn’t know what you truly want in life, just don’t get easily swayed and try to find motivation and prioritise on things that inspire you. Never forget to be grateful with what you have currently, keep close connection with people who love you and encourage you to be better in all aspects. That is all that matter in order for you to have a happy and grounded life.

I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money.

“A scam” people are fucking wild.

dragginage

This happened to me, too. A woman had used WIC for the majority of her stuff (which I say from personal experience is such a long and embarrassing process) and to buy the remainder of her groceries, which included diapers and wipes, she used a card, and it got declined. I bought the other $30 of her groceries because hey, I’ve been there, and now I’m not. She was extremely emotional and began to cry and even hugged me. My mom called me on the drive home and could tell I had been crying myself, asked what was wrong, and when I told her what happened, she berated me for being “duped.” I couldn’t believe she could be so disappointed in one of her children for doing something- nice? Is that the hill you want to die on? Getting mad about people needing groceries?

I once paid for a woman’s bill at the vet…it wasn’t a big one, but she was trying to pay for some medication for her dog, and her card was declined. And her lip started trembling, and she says “I don’t get paid until Tuesday, would he be ok until then?”

So I just told them to add the $20 something onto my bill, and I thought she was going to break down crying right there.

And I don’t care if it was a scam or not. Just do nice things for people sometimes.

I think “Do good recklessly” would be fantastic word art to hang on one’s wall. Artistic people, go!

7faerielights

So this has happened to me but from the other side. Several years ago when my oldest was around three or so, I had my debit card decline at Walmart. It wasn’t a scam or a mistake, I was genuinely broke. Out of money. I checked my bank and discovered I had something like 7 dollars left to my name and a hungry kid and nothing to eat at home. So I sat there trying to come up with the best way to stretch that tiny amount of money to feed my kid. Not even to feed me. I can live on popcorn or something if I have to but my kid was three and he had to eat. So there I am trying really hard not to cry while I slowly take things out of my basket to get it down to under 7 bucks, when a lady tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up and she smiled at me and started putting the things back in my cart. I opened my mouth to tell her that I didn’t have the money for them but she stopped me right away and said “Don’t worry about it. It’s gonna be fine.” Then she handed the cashier her credit card and said “Ring up all of it.” My kid got to eat because of her. I got to eat because of her. I had laundry soap and deodorant because of her. She could’ve just ignored me silently struggling in that line. She could’ve decided I was a scam and gone home feeling good about avoiding being duped. But instead she chose to help me and she saved us. So maybe the person struggling in front of you is trying to put one over on you or maybe they are just sad and broke and trying to figure out what to do. You get to decide which you want to believe and what you want to do. But I’ll tell y’all, no one has ever been more beautiful to me than that lady in that line who saved me and my baby. Be like her. Be beautiful.

One time, my dad and I were living the grocery store and there was a guy outside asking for money to buy some stuff to take home for his kids. It was around Christmas time. My dad asked him if he could give him groceries instead of money, and the guy immediately said yes, so my dad gave him one of everything we bought (meat, rice, some chocolates, milk, oil). At that time, my dad hadn’t gotten his paycheck because the company he worked for was going through a tough time, but he didn’t care, he saw an opportunity to help someone and he did.

Another time, my dad gave 50 bucks to a guy who said he needed to buy medicine for his kids. I told my dad he was probably going to spend the money on alcohol or something, but my dad said that “whether he was lying or not says something about HIS character, but hearing someone in need and choosing not to help when I have the means to says something about mine”.

I never forget that.
