“almost every woman I have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness, that there is some deep, crazy part within her, that she must be on guard constantly against ‘losing control’ — of her temper, of her appetite, of her sexuality, of her feelings, of her ambition, of her secret fantasies, of her mind”

— Elana Dykewomon “Notes for a Magazine"

I’ve seen a lot of posts online addressing the backlash against the Ted Bundy movie trailer saying, “you guys don’t know anything, he was charming and romanticized, it’s supposed to be like that!” Sure, but that’s not the problem with the trailer. It makes Ted Bundy seem like a movie star-attractive, flashy, quirky guy, who just happened to get into “shenanigans” with a loving girlfriend at his side. A movie about a necrophiliac serial killer should NOT be marketed as a little cult-classic action rom-com. If Hollywood wants to make a movie about their own character who kills people, go ahead. But it’s not appropriate to show a smiling Zac Efron spinning around representing the sociopathic man that the real mothers of victims had to hear that he raped their daughter’s decapitated corpses after brutalizing and murdering them. Because that’s the reality of it. And even worse, plenty of people have friends and family that were effected by Bundy to this present day, and have the horror to see a trailer like this making light of one of their tragedies.

“Amy’s “Cool Girl” monologue makes explicit the film’s central critique of contemporary identity. We allow ourselves to appear shallow on the surface because other people like us that way. More importantly, we do it because we have our safe refuge on the inside where we can say to ourselves, “that’s not the real me.” We “endure” subjugating our own desires to the desires of others because we believe in this refuge, but the reality is that we’re allowing our identities to be determined by someone else’s desire. There’s a fine line between compromise and self-effacement, and Amy’s critique of modern society is that we allow ourselves to be erased and replaced with someone—something—else. We are exactly what we pretend to be. The distinction between external appearances and internal reality exists so that we can maintain the illusion of being what we want to be while still enjoying our easy, comfortable lifestyles. Amy’s argument is that instead we should appear to be the best version of ourselves, because being our best—showing our best on the surface—erases the gap between internal and external identity. Amy kills the version of herself she created to please others and becomes the film’s paragon of self-realization. She throws away the Cool Girl and becomes the Gone Girl.” (source)

I’m really tired of people acting like MLK was a literal savior that willingly chose to die. He wasn’t a biblical deity, he was a man who was assassinated while in the midst of his revolution fighting for racial equality. MLK didn’t die for peace, he died because he was brutally murdered. He was tailed by the government. He was consistently incarcerated. He was the victim of violence all throughout his activism leading to his death. So don’t let anyone tell you MLK “died for peace” as a way of silencing you, he didn’t die for anything, he didn’t choose his death to make his activism more potent. He died while radically fighting for racial justice in an unprecedented manner. The implication that MLK chose to be a martyr is an insult to his memory.

What Native people say about the use of sage: you can use sage, but you cannot smudge as nothing you are doing (waving sage around) is actually smudging. Smudging is a ceremony and you are, we promise, not smudging. Please buy sage from either us, or someone who sources the sage from us. White sage may not be considered endangered by the US government but corperate sourcing is making it difficult for us to source sage for our own religious purposes. Let alone to sell it.

What white people hear: never use sage ever, don’t ever buy it, don’t own it, don’t even look at it.

Look, y’all. There’s a couple of facets to my talk today.

1) Yes! You can buy sage! You really, truly can! Buy it from either native sellers (go to a powwow! Eat our food, buy our stuff, watch some dancing!) Or buy it from a seller who sources the sage from native people. Pick one. And no, buying it from 5 Below doesn’t count.

2) you CANNOT smudge. This isn’t just you “shouldn’t”— this is a YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF SMUDGING. Waving a sage stick around your doorways IS NOT SMUDGING. It is smoke clensing. Smudging, depending on the tradition and tribe, could easily have dancing and drums involved. You, as a white person, do not have the cultural BACKGROUND to even know how it works. At all. Period.

3) please, for FUCKS SAKE, stop making posts here on tumblr where you tell other white people about cultural appropriation and what they can and cannot do. Please stop, your license has been revoked because none of you bother to get the facts right. We native people are FULLY CAPABLE OF DOING IT OURSELVES. Consider instead: a) reblogging our posts where we talk about it! We’re here! We have made posts!! b) Making a post that states what we said and then LINKS BACK TO US. Screenshot with a link if you must. Stop centering your own voices in these conversations. You are already centered in everything, stop centering yourselves in a native space.

I’m tired of this nonsense, y’all.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk ™
