Lilo and Stitch presenting an accurate representation of Hawaiians perspective on luaus held by tourists. 

#what’s sad about this is that this is actually what Hawaiians had to do when the western culture took over #a luau was a sacred practice #until the westerners took the concept and had the audacity to change it into a time to stuff your face with food and put on grass skirts and coconut bras and dance the hula #and when they had these events, they didn’t even let actual Hawaiian people in #so to make money to take care of themselves, the Hawaiians were hired to work in these disgraceful events to clean up after the tourists like slaves only to make less than a buck #so good job disney for doing your fucking research and educating these people #sadly, this still goes on even until today and it makes me sick

I have a chicken named Noodle and she’s a bit under the weather and all she ever wants to do is cuddle. It’s past chicken bedtime and she was having trouble sleeping alone, so I took her out for a snuggle and she fell asleep with her head laying on my chest and she made the softest snores and I love her

Are Russians European or Asian

Ah yes, the elusive Schrodinger’s Russian…

Ok, well, in all seriousness, it depends on the Russian. 

What I mean by that is, Russia spans across two continents. Many people tend to think of Moscow when they think of Russia, and thus think of Russia as a European country…. but the geographical truth is, most of Russia is actually in Asia. 

Europe and Asia are split in Russia by the Ural Mountain range. Everything east of those mountains is Asian Russia…… also known as Siberia. 

Some people don’t even believe that Asia and Europe are two separate continents, and refer to it as the Eurasian continent block. Which is just preference, I think. 

But I suppose you’re asking about like, race or something? 

European settlers - specifically Slavic settlers originally expanded into Asian Russia. Right now, the country is populated by both ‘European’ (slavic origin or mixed-european heritage) Russians and “Asian” Russians. 

“What does that even mean?“ you ask.

Well, a lot of people assume all Russians look like this:

*Russian squat not included

But the reality is, there are a lot of Russians who are indigenous to the Siberian part of Russia, who have been here way before the Slavic settlers, and who are more closely related to Mongolian and Chinese people.

They look like this:

(Udegeh people)

(Ulcih woman)

(Dolgan girl)

There’s a LOT more, you can start on Wikipedia if you’re interested, but in general, a lot of these people have now either lost their language (most people speak Russian, even though there were originally many, many indigenous siberian languages). 

And for many more people that live in Russia who have both Slavic AND Siberian-indigenous heritage, the line is even more blurred. There are Russian traditions in Siberia that may seem a lot closer to their Asian neighbors than to the western side of Russia. For example, (sorry, just pulling this outta my ass) when I went back home to visit 3 years ago my family dragged me to a friend’s place to make pelmeni. 

Pelmeni are just dumplings, basically, that are made by hand and then boiled. 

They closely resemble chinese dumplings. They’re a staple food in Russia, but they’re not European.

SO ANYWAY back to your question.

Are Russians Asian or European? 

DEPENDS ON THE RUSSIAN!

A lot of Russians will identify as European. Especially if they’re white, and they live in Moscow. 

Some Russians, who live in Eastern Russia, and are indigenous Siberian, would probably identify as Asian.

I personally was born in Asia… as were my parents, and grandparents. But I’m white, and I don’t have any right to call myself Asian. I can’t call myself European, either, because… I’m not from Europe! I’ve never lived in Europe. My grandmother is half Ukrainian, which, I think, is as European as I get. 

I just call myself Russian, and that’s it? I guess? 

Idk, I don’t think Russians think about this that often. 

Other Russians? Weigh in?

A condor has struck up an unusual friendship with a man who saved the huge creature’s life.

The man nursed the condor back to health after it reportedly fell from a nest as a baby.

And the condor clearly didn’t forget his rescuer, as video footage shows the pair greeting each other with hugs and one big warm embrace, after the condor returned.

After being rescued, the condor – the largest bird in North America – was then able to learn how to fly and return to normal life.

“I asked all of the gay male students in the room to raise their hand if in the past week they touched a woman’s body without her consent. After a moment of hesitation, all of the hands of the gay men in the room went up. I then asked the same gay men to raise their hand if in the past week they offered a woman unsolicited advice about how to “improve” her body or her fashion. Once again, after a moment of hesitation, all of the hands in the room went up. These questions came after a brief exploration of gay men’s relationship to American fashion and women’s bodies. That dialogue included recognizing that gay men in the United States are often hailed as the experts of women’s fashion and by proxy women’s bodies. In addition to this there is a dominant logic that suggests that because gay men have no conscious desire to be sexually intimate with women, our uninvited touching and groping (physical assault) is benign.“”

JK Rowling only said Dumbledore was gay because there weren’t any risks, the books were finished. Now she’s decided they aren’t, there are risks again and she’s chosen the same spineless path she’s used to. She is no LGBTQ ally.
