Except many Lakota people have come out to say they do not wish to destroy the faces because it would cause further harm to the mountain so maybe we should give it back to them and then let them decide what to do with it instead of acting like we know what best for them
Lakota here. Y'all need to stop assuming you know what's best for our sacred sites. This person is absolutely right, whether or not Six Grandfathers gets blown up is not a discussion that involves anyone who isn't Lakota. You need to stop pushing your own political agenda on us, we didn't ask for it and many of us have spoken openly about how uncomfortable we are with these kinds of jokes and statements.
Give it back to us because it's always been ours and should never have been defaced to begin with, not because you want us to be the ones to blow it up.
I like how this implies I did something heterosexual. If so, I apologize.
l’oréal removing words like “whitening” “fairness” “lightening” from the labels of its whitening products amidst global protests against racism instead of removing the products themselves kind of illustrates perfectly how it’s just a branding and marketing game for these big groups instead of an actual concern…
Looking for something to do this upcoming Canada Day? (Or any day?) I strongly recommend checking out this documentary on environmental racism in Nova Scotia: There’s Something in the Water, available on Netflix.
You can also check out the book of the same name that inspired it, by Dr. Ingrid R. G. Waldron.
Morally good got that wagon? Can you make moral goodness clap? I think the fuck not my good bitch
“It’s important to relinquish the belief that if your parents loved you, they’d understand you. As an independent adult, you can function without their understanding. You may not ever have the kind of relationship you’ve wanted with your parents, but you can make each interaction with them more satisfying for you. You can speak up politely when you feel like it, and be different without offering excuses. By expressing yourself to your parents in this way, you can be authentic even in the absence of their understanding. The point of expressing your feelings is to be true to yourself, not to change your parents.”
Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
okay guys, there’s something we need to talk about more..
netflix just released the film ‘ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga’ which is an indian movie about a girl who’s into girls and how she gets the courage to come out and face her family and be with the woman she loves. sound familiar? yeah, i know it’s the basic plot of most hollywood lgbtq movies but that’s not the point.
this is literally the first indian movie i’ve seen on a famous platform, accessible by anyone, that actually represents the lgbtq community in all its beauty and love and affection, rather that scorning or mocking it.
the movie is beautiful and the scenes and the fluff and the cute couple and the emotions just make it so worth watching, and that’s not all.
i’m an indian bisexual teenager and i would’ve been so happy to have been exposed to a movie like this when i was younger. if i had seen this kind of portrayal in the film industry, i doubt that i would’ve been the afraid young girl i was and i would’ve had the courage to do what the main characters did and just BE MYSELF.
all i hope is that someone sees this movie, some little girl out there sees it and knows that she is not alone, that she is not abnormal. with a topic such as this, which has been treated as taboo for decades now in my country (still is kinda), when it is actually being represented and being represented well, i can’t help but wanna scream about it from the rooftops.
also just look at this adorableness:
anywho, REBLOG, SIGNAL BOOST THIS BECAUSE IT IS SO IMPORTANT.
This. Is. So. Important.
Oh my god! I have chills.
The only other Indian movie about women loving women is from 1995ish and I know the director was forced to flee India fearing for her life because of the backlash. Her name is Deepa Mehta. Her directorial style is absolute genius and her trilogy of movies about India are absolutely incredible. They are titles “Fire” (about wlw), “Earth” about the partition of India and Pakistan, and “Water” about the lives of widows - following a young girl married to a much older man who leaves her a widow before the age of twelve and she has to go live with the other widows. Seriously go check her stuff out she is amazing.
