also do you want to know another reason why that getting hamsa tattooed on yourself if you’re not from a culture that uses it is so fucked up and wrong?

the amazigh tradition of tattooing protective symbols on our bodies is dying out because it is now looked down upon by moroccan society as wrong, ugly, and un-Muslim

oucham (marking our bodies with traditional tattoos) is becoming taboo, a lot of old amazigh women who have oucham are ashamed of their tattoos because it is a mark of “the old religion”, since morocco is now a predominantly muslim country, amazigh folk beliefs are being practiced less and less, the tradition of oucham is being practiced less and less, our ways of life are fading

in morocco, using tattoos for health reasons, for protective purposes, for aesthetic, for showing off which tribe you belong to with pride, are practices that are dying out because arabisation is still a thing in morocco and throughout tamazgha

the hamsa is one of those symbols that some people would get as a tattoo.

while there are old amazigh ladies looking down at their decorated skin in shame, looking at the reminders of amazigh folklore, amazigh life, in shame, not allowing their daughters and grandchildren to practice this beautiful and interesting tradition, because they are ashamed, there are people across the world getting the hamsa inked on their bodies without a care in the world. because it’s “pretty”

fuck you, basically.

“The Federation of Black Cowboys: An homage to Richard Avedon” by Brad Trent.

Based in Queens, The Federation of Black Cowboys is a group of urban cowpokes whose goal is to promote knowledge of the “Black West”. Their Ponderosa for the past two decades is a ramshackle stable just off Conduit Boulevard in Howard Beach, but recently their membership has dwindled to around 20 die-hards and now they face losing the license agreement for the stables.

This is what a real, qualified OBGYN will tell you about what women feel when they get an abortion

Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.
