lesbomania is my favorite hobby @transsexualesbomaniac - Tumblr Blog

happy juneteenth! you need to watch the film Sing Sing (2023). take some time out of your day to center Black stories and get more prison abolitionist Now while you're at it.

Based on the real-life Rehabilitation Through the Arts program at Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison, the film centers on a group of incarcerated men involved in the creation of theatrical stage shows through the program. It stars professional actors Colman Domingo, Sean San José and Paul Raci, alongside many real-life formerly incarcerated men who were themselves alumni of the program during their incarceration, including Clarence "Divine Eye" Maclin and Jon-Adrian "JJ" Velazquez.

This impactful film is dedicated to the RTA members who have made it home and those still inside.

genuinely I do love katara and sokka as a representation of how Indigenous people can be written in a fantasy setting and it was nice to have something like that in a childhood that was spent consuming a lot of media set in fantastical worlds. however I think if those are the only fictional Indigenous characters you can name, especially like as an adult, you should really make an effort to also engage with stories that portray real Indigenous people and cultures in the real world

ndnbutch

actually I’m going to add to this and say something that I know will be very controversial on tumblr but. if the only fictional Indigenous characters you as an adult can name in general are from solely children’s media, you should really make an effort to engage with a broader range of stories that portray real Indigenous people and cultures in the real world. sorry. I know this is a touchy subject. This isn’t meant as an indictment of adults who engage with children’s media overall. I just think those shouldn’t be, like, the only Indigenous characters you’re exposed to. respectfully. you’re going to be missing out on a lot of aspects of our stories, frankly. no matter how deep you think that story tailored to a child audience is. it very well may be. it was still written with children in mind first and foremost. please attempt to broaden your horizons.

ndnbutch

and if I’m being really honest? once you’ve finished listing fictional Indigenous characters you’ve heard of? my challenge to you, white tumblr user, is to name at least one work of non-fiction (book, essay, documentary, etc) created by an actual Indigenous person. you’re allowed to use search engines you just have to name one. and then you have to engage with that work, if you haven’t already.

Y’know, Flobots does not get enough credit for not only making a song centered around “pray the pale white devil back to hell” but making it an absolute banger on top of that.

storyweavingspider

All y’all check out an eco-punk-hip hop band called The Flobots! If you’re old enough you might remember their most popular single from the mid-2000s, “We are seeing the growth of technocratic dictators that will end the world for ego and money” (Handlebars)

The same album includes bangers such as “You have to be the one do the right thing, and inspire others to do the same, or we will all fall” (Stand Up), “I know you’re afraid to do the right thing, but you have to strive for it even if you feel your voice will do nothing” (Never Had It), and “Our collective power far out scales anything they can do to us, if we are willing to risk for something better” (Rise)

Their 2009 album, Survival Story, includes “Climate change is going to massacre us all if we don’t do something” (Cracks In The Surface, Defend Atlantis), and “We do not have to use the tools of the oppressor to create a new world for all of us, we can create a world where our children do not survive on the exploitation of others” (White Flag Warrior)

Their 2012 album, The Circle in the Square, includes “we cannot ignore the struggles of our comrades across the country if we want to be liberated ourselves” (The Circle In The Square, Sides), and “Israel is a genocidal settler-colony” (Wrestling Israel)

And their most recent album, Noenemies, is a LOT but has “fuck white supremacy, fuck crackers, y’all ain’t absolved of the sins that built the USA” (Pray), and Dancing In The Light of a Burning City which explains itself.

Legit please go catch up if you barely know them or only knew Handlebars, they’re amazing.

#i always think about how beautiful it was for ryan coogler to cast buddy guy as older sammie #i often think about how people like to espouse the idea that we are "so far removed" from jim crow and segregation when creatives like buddy are still alive #a lot of the activists and figures are still alive! #idk the fact that he's living proof of the continued effects of chattel slavery on black americans is so bittersweet because he remembers such atrocities but he's also able to bestow wisdom and history for art pieces like sinners

Ryan Coogler said in an interview, btw, that part of why he thought of Buddy Guy was because his uncle loved seeing him – he'd get dressed up and go see him play live when he got the chance.

My grandfather's grandfather was born a slave. I believe he lived to see freedom, but still.

Which means my grandfather's father was a sharecropper, which is within my family's oral history for why the [surname] family property and farm is the way it is and has been in the family for so long.

My grandfather died at 96 years old at the turn of the century.

Sharecropping as we know it today ended sometime in the 1930s-1950s depending on the state. Not only was my grandfather a sharecropper's son- my grandfather was a sharecropper himself during his early adulthood before he left home to join the military and later became a preacher.

My grandfather marched with Martin Luther Kin Jr and educated my father on black politics and activism. My father just turned 71, the same age as Ruby Bridges, the little girl who sparked the mass desegregation of education. She was born in 1954. There exists a photo somewhere of a little boy on a man's shoulders in the crowd at one of MLK's public events. That's my dad.

That's how close this is to the current era.

I said that once as a teenager on a forum. I was mocked and told that I am either way older than I claimed to be or that I am way off in my estimations because slavery was long ago. Slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, the Civil Rights movement itself, that is in recent enough memory to be evident in the lives of those who are alive today. My grandfather's grandfather- I'm just 5 generations removed from slavery.

Buddy Guy is 89 years old. My grandfather would be 122 if he was still alive today. That's how close this is.
