so i don’t think a lot of people really understand how often south asian culture is misinterpreted and appropriated so i’m making a post about it right here.

any mention of third eyes

any mention of chakras

people wearing bindis when they shouldn’t be 

fucking “om” or “aum” tattoos or appliques on things like yoga pants. do you know how fucking disrespectful it is to put a symbol that is so important to my religion and culture on the ass of some white chick’s yoga pants

people wearing maang tikka when they shouldn’t be

anklets with bells on them are very important to the dance culture of south asia and it’s disrespectful to wear them outside of a traditional dance setting

feel free to add any more that i missed because i’m fucking tired

this is okay to rb if you’re not south asian. in fact it’s encouraged that you reblog this post, regardless of your race

^^Anyone is capable of appropriation without meaning to, even other poc. Please respect!

Ghibli films look the way it feels to exist in this world, like not how the world actually looks, but how it feels- and in all the good ways

the warm buttered toast of early mornings, the sheated heavy rain of grey days, the huge welling tears of grief and the electric anger that raises your whole head of hair

like, it’s not real, but it’s really Real, you feel me?

Saying that rich people hate poor people misses the point, imo. 

It doesn’t matter if the rich hate the poor or if they actually love them deep down. They exploit and profit from the poor. A reserve army of labour is an intrinsic part of capitalism, it scares workers from organizing and fighting for their rights. 

If a capitalist saw the error of their ways and decided to treat their workers well and give to the poor that would affect their bottom line and they would be squeezed out of the market by their more ruthless fellow capitalists. Exploitation is literally unavoidable under capitalism. 

It’s not the morals of capitalists that need to be fought, it’s capitalism itself.

like!!! it’s just so sad how much ppl want to de-legitimise films abt wlwoc and criticise them for being “pandering to the male gaze” / fetishist (bc why else would non-white women exist together but for someone’s fetish?) / unrealistic / disingenuous (“i dont buy that they’re actually in love”) / cliche (“i just think the whole coming out to their religious/traditional ethnic family has been Done before”) / so corny they’re unwatchable (like we dont deserve cheesy rom coms?) while the SAme films starring white women with ZERO chemistry and nothing between them except 20 years probably keep getting made over and over and over again to disproportionately high praise im fucking TIRED

There’s been a terrorist attack in Sri Lanka

At least 138 people died so far and there’s over 400 injured in a number of explosions set out around the country, including in the capital, Colombo. Five churches where people were celebrating Easter and three five star hotels were targeted. If any of you live in Sri Lanka or are visiting it, please stay safe. Both locals and tourists have lost their lives in this heinous act. My heart goes out to the victims and their families and friends and everyone in Sri Lanka. I am so sorry.

Jesus, on multiple occasions: I’m going to die very horribly, but then I will rise from the dead three days later.

The women disciples, three days after Jesus’ death: The tomb was empty, and angels appeared and said Jesus is risen.
