Bobby, kicking his feet and eating ice cream, yapping with his Secret Underground Government Facility Nurse: haha yeah. Bet Buck tries to transfer out AGAIN. Classic. Oh god, Chimney is definitely going to name his baby after me. Poor kid. Hey, do you have any plain vanilla? Yes that’s my favourite flavour. No, it isn’t boring! You’re a riot, Marcia. Hope we can exchange socials before I break out :)

I can remember only one person from the top of my head which did not mind using this slur for themselves. It is definitely not something that should be used by people outside of Romani communities ESPECIALLY because you never know which people in them do not mind the term and which of them DO.

And even then I suppose it's tricky. I am not sure I would use the g-slur even if someone preferred it as designation. But it is evident from the comments that there are some Romani people who prefer the term I guess, so idk how to feel ab this. I mean I technically agree with them but I am experiencing doubts. Because I am supposed to listen to Romani voices, do I just exclude some of them and only listen to others?

My perspective has usually been something like this: I call people who are Romani, Romani, always, and change tune only if THEY want me to. But I am kind of having doubts about it. It's still the way I think I should do things for now but could it be wrong? Or is it a situation similar to the use of the "queer" word in the LGBTQIA+ community, which I am part of?

Though perhaps it's different. The history of the term queer in, well, queer spaces is peculiar, many do not think it a slur at all. Idk idk. Can anyone correct me if I am wrong on my go to strategy for the eventual (and I hope it does not happen) use of the g-slur?

I am here to get educated and hopefully boost the signal of this post.

In the tags, my train of thought is more streamlined. I said the same things but in a way that felt less rambly.

I only mean to receive more information because what I have may be limited.

Anyway, daily reminder from a culturally isolated Romani person.

Gypsy does not mean wanderer.

It literally means ‘people from egypt’ or similar, as europeans believed Romani people were from Egypt. It has become known similar to nomad due to how our ancestors have been forced to be nomadic due to racism and ostracization, but it is a SLUR.

Romani people are STILL being forcibly sterilized.

Romani people are STILL being forced into ghettos.

Romani people are still facing violence and danger in countless European countries- and recently, I’ve seen the beginnings of the extremes in the United States.

Have a little fucking respect and DON’T USE A SLUR THAT’S BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES AGAINST US.

And for the love of whatever’s up there, ESPECIALLY do not use it to describe your witchcraft. It is playing on the ‘magic gypsy’ trope, and is EXTREMELY insulting.

non romani people, please reblog this.

If I tell you this is a horror dance number it still won't prepare you. That last move was so terrifying even the judge was like "Let go! Let go!" If you told me they're actually possessed I'd believe you.

The music is a remix of the song Mere Dholna from the Bollywood movie Bhool Bhulaiyya, a remake of the classic Malayalam horror-comedy Manichitrathazhu. It's about a young bride that seemingly becomes possessed of Manjulika, a dancer of the ancient royal court whose tragic death has turned her into a vengeful spirit, one who evokes the wrath of the goddess Durga Kali. In the iconic scene that is repeated across remakes, the groom and his family discover his bride dancing in the dead of night in a manic, disassociative fugue, wearing a moth-eaten dancer's costume and a face smeared in kohl, ash and vermilion. She's hallucinating that she's Manjulika dancing carefree for the court with her lover. The upbeat music is deliberately incongruous with the pathos and creepiness of the scene in reality, especially as it crescendos in the bride's head to the moment when the king decapitates Manjulika's beloved in a fit of jealous rage.

This specific number is by the all-male troupe B Unique, performed for the Indian reality talent contest Hunabaarz. It's a modern fusion based on Bharatnatyam that turns up the creep factor by 200% and is basically a showcase of contortionism and synchronicity. One of the most perfectly choreographed and executed dances I have ever seen. Truly incredible!

The group is still taking their work across the world's talent shows. And yes, that guy is hypermobile enough to do that with his neck. XD
