what if we met before the ships even sailed and we connected in a way that tied our fates and got lashed together and had intertwining costume motifs for carnivale all while drifting further and further apart due to the hierarchy present and one of us died saying the other's name...and we were both boys that'd be so crazy haha.

Emily Pangnerk Illuitok

Birds Nesting in Cliffs, c.2007

~

Born in 1943, Illuitok was an Inuit master sculptor from Kugaaruk. She created detailed, delicate ivory/bone carvings that mostly represented hunting or nature scenes. Illuitok often worked with found materials that she then shaped into works of art. She passed away in 2012.

The above work shows birds nesting and is made of whale bone and ivory. Notice the little detail on the bottom right of a polar bear hunting some seals.

As we see a barrage of evil executive orders come in, they are not immediately enforceable and will takes months or years to implement.

That’s still not great, but don’t let these pile up to the point of hopelessness. Take a breath, and look community leaders who will fight it every step of the way.

So the first day of the ceasefire ends.

The mood is bittersweet. There's celebration:

But so much destruction:

So many dead :

I won't attach the multiple pictures of skeletons, some unidentified in the streets, some with bullet holes in the skulls left in family homes.

This is the first day of a very, very long journey, still perilous because Trump can't be trusted either. Please continue to boost Palestinians and donate to fundraisers.

Leaving you with Jehad Abu Shamala raising the call to prayer in Gaza this morning.

I enjoy when people redesign Tuunbaq to be more bear-like but I do think there's something to its original design looking half-person half-beast. And not only half person but half blue-eyed white person! Sure Tuunbaq symbolizes the dangers of the Arctic but so much of what kills the men of the expedition is their own colonizer behavior. Tuunbaq looking human holds up a mirror to the men and how they manufacture their own doom... The bit where Goodsir realizes that Tuunbaq has HANDS by comparing his own grip to the claw marks on a body is so important here. They can try to blame it all on the inhospitable nature of the Arctic but we know from the Inuit cultures that have BEEN living there that it's not inherently hostile to human life. You can thrive there if you keep a careful eye on how you interact with the land! And of course Tuunbaq isn't exclusively dangerous to the white men, a big part of Silna coming into her role as shaman too early is that she's worried Tuunbaq won't listen to her - ie if she fails to connect with Tuunbaq it could turn on her just as violently. Much of her duty as shaman is to keep nature in balance, and we know that even before the Franklin expedition arrived, colonizers were already throwing off the balance of the Arctic by overusing resources, creating a scarcity of food for the Inuit that led them to a state of starvation. People talk about how the Inuit in the show are living easy but remember they're in a famine right now! BECAUSE of the actions of the colonizers! And when Silna is stuck living among the men she is unable to continue her work, because European colonization throws a massive wrench into Indigenous people's ability to care for the land. Even the death of her father is symbolic of this - they didn't specifically mean to shoot him, but their reaction to a large animal being "kill it immediately" is what creates the circumstances for his death. It's the way the colonizers interact with nature! And not only that, but their intrusion on Silna and her father's life prevents a full exchange of knowledge between the two. Her father was teaching her how to be shaman, but Silna doesn't have all the information she needs because the colonizers interrupted the generational learning that's so important to land stewardship. I feel like Tuunbaq's violence represents the collective monster that is created by the attempt to colonize the Arctic - when colonizers shove themselves in with no respect for the land or the people (or the people's knowledge!), the fragile ecosystem is thrown into chaos and becomes dangerous for everyone

since it’s a scary time to be trans: refuge restrooms is an app which maps gender-neutral/single-stall restrooms. it’s community-mapped, so it’s possible you might be the first person to log the restroom locations, but hopefully it’ll help some people.

please reblog this post if you’ve got trans followers. stay safe.

via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.

Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.
