I think romantic gestures are cool and all but I think there’s nothing more profound then the idea of being in love with someone and it just you carry them with you without even thinking you love them. it’s all I take a bite and then I offer you some ... I come home early so I can eat with you ..... we cook together ..... when one is upset we sit with them. thinking about the way love is expressed unknowingly..... and yet so tenderly gosh I go crazy thinking about love that’s just apart of you ... it just comes naturally. it’s as simple as I love them and it ends up becoming apart of everything you do

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 Please stop, your license has been revoked because none of you bother to get the facts right.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 ™

On this day 4 years ago, Colin Kaepernick took a knee for the first time in protest of racial injustice. Today, sports across 4 leagues halted.

“We are expected to play at a high level, give maximum effort and hold each other accountable. We hold ourselves to that standard, and in this moment, we are demanding the same from our lawmakers and law enforcement.” [Milwaukee Bucks’s Players Statement]

I want to reiterate someting I saw AOC say on twitter:

This isn’t a boycott - that’s consumers refusing to purchase.

THIS IS A STRIKE. Workers are witholding labor to make their case.

Good.

So Kenosha police handed the shooter who killed the protester water and told him that they appreciated him being out there.

They handed him water and thanked him prior to killing 2 protesters.

They handed a accelerationist water and thanked the fascist militia that showed up, essentially deputized them, and offered him water while protesters got tear gas.

Let’s not defund the police. Let’s fucking abolish the police.

hi in case it’s not clear enough: this isn’t a terf-friendly blog and if you are one, even a “secret” one, please unfollow!

I wanna be that CEO that pays their employees 70K a year like that white guy I be seeing all over the Internet. I can’t remember his name.

I’m not gonna be like Jeff Bezos but I do wanna be a multimillionaire 😂😂😂

[jehovahhthickness]

He took a pay cut. I’m not doing all of that. Ima just pay my people well and give top notch benefits.

[jehovahhthickness]

It gets better.

[desperate-acts-of-capitalism]

We are definitely going to talk about this guy on Buisness Desserts

Employees are not costs to be reduced, they are investments, they are assets that appreciate in value

[jehovahhthickness]

Absolutely

[doebunnybooks]

For the person commenting on not taking a pay cut, he HAD to change his lifestyle to be able to afford to pay his employees a living wage. He talked to accountants and they helped him break the numbers down based on data about the cost of living and various factors about the commute, housing issues, etc. All inspired by his best friend going nearly into debt over medical costs meanwhile he had several houses, a jet, and drank champagne daily.

He sold stock, houses, and changed his spending and as a result, his employees were overall happier and the way they worked improved. They all bought more shit and had more kids and did all the consumption people want for us while also enjoying their work and their boss enough to band together and buy him a fucking Tesla as a thank you.

And you know what he realized after taking his pay cut? He didn’t need the champagne or the girls or the “lifestyle” of being a billionaire. He feels fulfilled in his work and with the people he’s surrounded himself with and he feels that he’s made a step in the right direction that other businessmen and billionaires should follow.

Please read the article and his statements on twitter because it’s eye-opening to see that you CAN be successful doing things ethically.

Update: during the pandemic, Dan Price cut his salary to $0 so that he could keep paying his employees.

[cowboybaedling]

What a lovely man

[the-a-j-universe]

And to be clear.

He was only ever a fraction of a Bezos.

He did this with far less to his name. Bezos could too just as easily. He’s just a bad person, unlike Price.

To all the people who believe property is more important than 600 hundred years of slavery and oppression of Black people.  

[thepeoplesmanifesto]

Literally the only way that you can equate these things is if you see black people as property

[sinthearchitect]

Also made and built the foundations for said property. Which we already were pretty good at doing, so much so ripped from our own

Once you become a certain age, it is your responsibility to unlearn behaviors that hinder your growth as a person.

[maggiemayy]

Man I cannot stress this enough. The “this is how I am, take it or leave it” attitude is an act of immaturity. We all have toxic traits that we need to work on and as an adult it’s our responsibility to recognize the damage that they can do to the ones we love. We all need to put in more effort in becoming better individuals.
