i have NEVER seen an episode of supernatural, yet because of tumblr, i was able to sustain an HOUR LONG conversation with my friends mom who is a supernatural SUPER FAN in which i somehow understood everything she was talking about!
Truth vs. Twilight
In collaboration with the Quileute Tribe, this site seeks to inform Twilight fans, parents, teachers, and others about the real Quileute culture, which indeed has a wolf origin story, a historic relationship with the wolf as demonstrated in songs, stories, and various art forms, as well as a modern, multi-dimensional community with a sophisticated governance system. We also hope to offer a counter narrative to The Twilight Saga’s stereotypical representations of race, class, and gender, and offer resources for a more meaningful understanding of Native American life and cultures.
More from this website:
Misconceptions and Appropriations from Twilight: Their community gets fucking NOTHING from the Twilight Franchise, despite Stephenie Meyer using their name to abandon as one of the major plot points.
Racial and Class Stereotypes in Twilight: How Stephenie Meyer reinforces racist and classcist dynamics in her stereotypical depictions
Cultural Theft in Twilight: Wherein a white woman profits from a Native American community and STILL can’t be bothered to do basic research.
Happy Thanksgiving! Help the Quileute Tribe move their tribal school to higher ground!
My personal addition ❤
note that i, a person with siblings, don’t want incest shippers to interact with my blog. If you find this offensive please consider that perhaps you don’t know how siblings work at all, and should try to reevaluate your views on those bonds.
This goes for all incest shippers, but ESPECIALLY incest shippers who have siblings. kindly don’t interact with me. Period.
thanks.
Please do not reblog unless you agree with this.
lukas moodysson (director of lilya-4-ever, fucking amal, and we are the best!) is just three teenage girls in a trenchcoat pretending to be an adult male movie director.
tired of being asked "what's your hogwarts house?"
instead ask me "are you a cullen or a black?" "team edward or team jacob?" "how much do you hate the last two twilight movies?" "would you beat renesmee's weird cgi baby face in?" "who's worse jk r*wling or sm*yers?"
i’m half paying attention to class, half looking at photos of rory culkin.
Controversial opinion (somehow) but it should be illegal for schools to assign homework on the high holidays.
No but really, I cannot put into words how fundamentally wrong it is that public schools can assign things over incredibly meaningful holidays like Yom Kippur.
Last year was a vivid example, and also one of the worst fasts I’ve ever done. My history teacher assigned us a full paper, insisting that it was reasonable since we had the entire day to do it. As one of the few practicing Jews in my class, I immediately objected because not only was that unfair, it was actually impossible to do without serious harm to my own health.
Because Yom Kippur started that very night with a solid two hours of services. I would go home, eat dinner (at like 4:30 because you have to do it before services), change, and then be at synagogue. Services would go until at least 8 o’clock, which meant I would get home around 9.
See any time for homework in there?
Now, pretend you’re me for a moment here. Services tomorrow morning start at 9, and you usually want to get there earlier unless you’re willing to end up in an overflow room. So staying up late to do it isn’t an option if you want more than four hours of sleep.
Now, it depends on how religious you are, and you can pick and choose, but there’s services more or less throughout the entire day on Yom Kippur. If you want to attend, which should absolutely be an option without compromising yourself academically, then you’ll be there until break the fast comes.
That’s right! You’ve been fasting all day, because that is an absolutely key part of Yom Kippur. (If you are under age thirteen, are pregnant, or are sick you are exempt but otherwise fasting is expected.) There are many reasons—reminding yourself of your mortality, to remember the sufferings of others—but ultimately it’s not an opt-out kind of thing.
But when can you break the fast exactly? It actually varies! Because it’s meant to be done one hour after sundown (25 hours total), but that’s a little different each year. It’s usually around 8 pm, which would be when services end for the day.
Now you can eat! Let’s aim low and give it half an hour to get home from services, and then another hour and a half to actually break the fast.
It’s 10 o’clock. You’ve only just eaten and your stomach probably hurts, because stuffing yourself after a fast can be really bad for your health. You’re back home for the first time all day.
You still have a paper to write.
How is that fair? If I’ve just gotten off of a fast, having spent all day immersed in religion and contemplating my own mortality, I’m not gonna be in a place to do any kind of work, academic or not.
And even if I’d had breaks in services (I can’t stay still all day, so I usually head home for a few hours in the middle), I was still fasting. When I’m hungry I have trouble working, for obvious reasons. And in this case the issue isn’t access, but the fact that I am prohibited from eating anything. Depending on how seriously you take it, you might not even have had water today. I fast with water after nearly passing out from dehydration during a fast for Tisha B’Av, but not everyone does! If you haven’t had anything to eat or drink, it’ll be incredibly difficult to focus on writing anything.
I explained all of this to my teacher, and she instead said I could just turn it in late. She also said I’d still be marked down for late work, so how is that any help?
I did that paper the day after. It was a day late, a few points off, but I held it against my teacher for months. Not because of the grade itself, but because she put me in that situation to begin with.
I should have been allowed to observe Yom Kippur. I should have been able to spend the day thinking and reflecting on my mistakes and contemplating my own life. That’s literally what the holiday is for. But instead I spent the whole time with that stupid grade in the back of my head.
Even on what is arguably the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, I still wasn’t given a break.
Separation of church and state my ass.
this is called failure to differentiate content to reflect the cultural needs and backgrounds of your student population, and it sucks. it's bad teaching. don't do it. when a student comes to you with a cultural or religious need like this, it is your job to support them, and figure out a way to resolve the situation that's equitable, and makes sure they don't suffer academically as a result. this SUCKS as a response.
leftist antisemites are really everywhere on this hellsite making & reblogging their posts like “the Jews have too much power and privilege and actually their very recent genocide was not that bad compared to what my group experiences and antisemitism doesn’t even exist in my country and especially not in liberal spaces”
Goyim should reblog posts like this one instead of always only acknowledging antisemitism when it is about jk rowling’s goblins or easy shit like that.
Challenge the antisemitism that is coming from inside the house. Be a little brave. Because you will lose followers for reblogging a post like this, because there are antisemites following you that think this way, and assume you do too.
i don’t like when people use unicorns as a symbol for the lgbtq community, because i’m gay and goth!!! i am not a unicorn!! i am mystical fairy princess, hiding deep in the forest, stalking human villages!! i am a vampire maiden in a decaying old french castle, drinking the blood of weary travelers who seek a dry place to sleep!! miss me with that weak unicorn shit!!
nobody:
literally fucking nobody:
teenage boys: yeah, i've been on the dark web before. i've been in a red room. i've bought drugs. i'm pretty badass.
can't sleep, thinking about the time i went to a hard rock cafe when i was eight and the employee liked my dads band tee so he let him choose a song to play in the restaurant and my dad let me pick complicated by avril lavigne.
Idk if you do asks, but I'm going around a few Tua accounts and asking their opinions on what houses Vanya and Klaus would be in respevtively. The others I have pretty solid opinions of, but I draw a blank at these two
vanya is either ravenclaw, because she's intelligent and practical, or slytherin because she's ambitious. klaus i think would be in huddlepuff, because even though he pretends he isn't, he's super loyal to his family and friends.
idk why but i find marriage so gross!!! like i think weddings r so gross!!! and being a married person means ur like an adult and i don't wanna be an adult ever!! if i ever get married, it'll either be like eloping or just deciding that we're married without ever getting it done legally!!! i don't care that they r tax benefits!!! marriage is gross!!!
why is hating pedos a hot take in 2020? why did i just have to argue with a group of high school freshmen about pedophilia being wrong? am i insane? is this the fucking twilight zone?
is my school really making me write about how significant christopher fucking columbus is? fuck this place. motherfucker sailed to the bahamas, went "damn guess i'm in india." and then enslaved and assaulted natives. fuck the american high school curriculum.
