The art of being loudly quiet

I am bitter and it keeps me alive

*tw politivold og transfobi*

Hans jakke med id-nummer på ligger i bilen

At det er et uheld kan ikke ses på denne smilen

Mens panserhænder smækker mod min krop

Kan jeg mærke at bægeret langsomt fyldes op

Vi skal bare tjekke hvad du har i din buks

Lyder næsten som Ordensbekendtgørelsens duks

Synes din mor også at du er en freak?

Han griner og går hjem til en steak

Denne gang var det min tur

5 timer alene og forvirret angstfuld lur

Vil jeg kunne lade min kæreste røre mig igen?

Velfærdshelten er ikke min ven

Jeg ligger i fosterstilling ved en pøl af urin

Da jeg mærker vindbrus igen hvisker jeg et lille hvin

Lader røgen fylde min lunger

Jeg kæmper for dine og mine og alles unger

Får jeg det nogensinde godt igen?

Jeg ved at klimakampen kalder men...

idk if its just me or whatever but i feel uncomfortable when white people mock or belittle things associated with non-christian, non-western spirituality and health like astrology, numerology, the burning of incense, scent therapy, acupuncture, herbal remedies, etc. like i really don’t give a shit if you don’t believe in these things it doesn’t matter to me at all but insinuating that people are stupid for deriving meaning from these things is just cruel and hurtful and ignores how important these things are to those of us whose cultural history and traditions are inextricably tied. these things all started pre-colonisation in the americas, africa, and asia, and colonising white christians tried (and were quite successful in many cases) to wipe these indigenous beliefs out only to later co-op them as alternative “pagan” spirituality to market as commodities and make trendy/appealing to white people, while continuing to take away our freedom to participate in these outlets of spirituality.

things like astrology, praying to ancestors, numerology, herbal remedies, and spiritual healing have been in my punjabi family for generations. i don’t care if you think all of that is stupid or false or not scientifically true, it matters to us as a people and as individuals and helps us connect not only with our history but our own thoughts and feelings and bodies in a practical, accessible way that isn’t connected to or relying on colonial philosphies. your white ass saying we’re stupid and delusional for being dumb enough to fall for this hokey magic bullshit is racist, insensitive, and unwarranted.

Why Many Native American Girls Skip School When They Have Their Periods

“They shouldn’t feel like they’re being punished for being a girl.”

“Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, S.D. ― Dominique Amiotte, 17, always makes sure to keep a few extra tampons in her locker. It’s not much, but it’s enough to encourage at least some of her struggling friends to come to school when they have their periods.

About half of Amiotte’s girlfriends can’t afford tampons or sanitary pads. As a result, when they menstruate, they’ll skip school for as long as a week. This can lead them to fall behind in class, contributing to the already abysmal graduation rates on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. There are no official records on how many of the young women at the reservation’s 13 schools have felt the consequences of this issue, but individuals we spoke to say it’s an inescapable part of everyday life.

“It makes me angry,” Amiotte told HuffPost unflinchingly while seated in an empty classroom at the Crazy Horse School, where there are 70 girls enrolled in middle or high school classes.”

So.... I fuck. Quite regularly actually. 

My friend just didn’t ask me whether I'm afraid of getting chlamydia before I fucked a brown man.

WORKING CLASS SOLIDARITY

[maingorlblog-deactivated2025052]

My dad told me recently that the most important public health workers are garbage collectors and janitors. So much of our health relies on a clean environment. These people do some of the most important work in society. If we learned in dirty public environments full of garbage, we’d all be sick. I cannot thank these people enough for the valuable work that they do.

[thehollowkidvg]

Shout out to all garbage collectors, janitors and housekeepers!
