a beautiful boy
this is how it feels to live in chicago
you ever look forward to commuting just bc youāre so excited to experience the fleeting joy of listening to you favourite music while wistfully gazing out of the window and daydreaming about alternative lives you could have lived
i donāt think thin people get how inherently painful it is to have a body that society hates; no matter how body positive you have become, the amount of healing you do, the love that youāve grown for yourselfā the scars are still there, the hurt is still there somewhere
One more young fighter. May God bless these beautiful soulsĀ
Autumn Peltier is Anishinaabe-kwe and a member of the Wikwemikong First Nation
honestly the best thing iāve done in the past year was replacingĀ āi wanna dieā withĀ āi wanna commit a crime.ā same humor and sentiment without the suicidal ideation
thank you SO much for this tag
black and asian vikings 100% definitely existed (also, saami vikings)
you know how far you can get into eurasia and africa by sailing up rivers from the baltic and mediterranean seas? pretty fucking far, and thatās what vikings liked to do to trade
then, you know, people are people, so love happens, business happens, and so ppl get married and take spouses back home to the frozen hellscape that is scandinavia (upon which iām guessing the horrorstruck new spouses wentĀ āWHAT THE FUCK??? FUCKING GIVE ME YOUR JACKET???????ā)
and sometimes vikings bought thralls and brought them home as well, and i mean, when your indentured service is up after however many years and youāre a free person again, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe itās a bit hard to get all the way home across the continent, so you make the best out of the situation and you probably get married and raise a gaggle kids
so yeah
viking kingdoms/communities were not uniformly pure white aryan fantasy paradises, so pls stop using my cultural history and ethnic background to excuse your racist discomfort with black ppl playing heimdall and valkyrie
Also we KNOW they got to Asia and Africa.Ā
Why?
Because Asians, Africans, and Vikings TOLD US SO.Ā
Also, we know there was significant mercantile trade between Scandinavia and parts of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Northern India, Kashmir, North and Eastern Africa because there is evidence in burial sites.
Check that out: the goods Vikings and Scandinavians were getting from their trade with the rest of the world was so important they buried themselves with it, as part of their treasure hordes.
We KNOW this.
Thereās a reason you can still see many of the trade routes from the ancient world etched into the very earth.
Plus, we know that some Scandinavian cultures that participated in Viking raids had established minority communities of ethnically Mongolian folks living among them during the periods when such raids were common, and itās difficult to credit that none of them would have signed on.

More about the Islamic World and Vikings (some Vikings converted to Islam! sort of sketchy site tho)
Viking technology came from Afghanistan
More on trade route determination via metallurgy
⦠is that enough? :)
Yet another on the pile of reasons why it monumentally honks me off when pusillanimous, pseudointellectual white supremacist scum try to use Scandinavian culture as a crutch for their arguments and act like Norse mythology agrees with their biases. No it fucking doesnāt, bitch. Odin would personally kick you in the dick for being a witless coward and then send your ass to the Realm of the Dishonored Dead.
I donāt usually reblog stuff, but this thread makes me so happy. See, I love the Viking aesthetic ā I love the fusion of organic and geometric in its designs, I love the natural colors, the complexity of textures you get from juxtaposing metal/leather/cloth/furā
āand I hate how the entire subculture has been so thoroughly co-opted by white supremacists. To the point where I, a person who likes viking stuff, am deeply and immediately suspect of anyone else who likes viking stuff, guilty until proven innocent, cuz thatās what the odds are these days.
Anyway.
As far as Iām concerned, anyone can be a viking, and thus I am so, so pleased to find that the historical record backs me up.
(And amused that Arab intellectual Ahmad ibn Fadlan was so thirsty for vikings.)
reclaim vikings from racists 2kForever
Thank, I thought I was gonna have to add some things, but Iām pretty satisfied. Atleast one Roman dude I know of has been dug out of a viking grave being buried with stuff that both labelled him clearly as of roman ancestry, aswell as integrated into viking life. Muslim coins were found in Sweden. Just. Lots. Thereās so much proof of actual logical and interesting stuff. Imagine a society that shut out every other cultural infuence and remain uhhh⦠āpureā? How boring?? How unrealistic??

We are sharing some of our favourite gifs each day this month for Antifa Internationalās fifth anniversary. Today: Nazi monuments being destroyed after the defeat of Nazi Germany.
If this offends you š unfollow me š
And a note to confederates: these monuments werenāt kept because this wasĀ āhistoryā. These monuments celebrated horrible things and we BLEW THEM UP.
I really want to blow up some racist monuments now
