🐅 for Sansa!

(lesbian with comphet aha)

Uuhhhhhh there’s also a lot for this one I adore the starklings. these ones might be controversial I know Arya and Sansa are heavily debated character on Tumblr but as a lover of both I’m gonna go for it.

Sansa is very much a people pleaser which is a symptom of her growing up in a society where women are expected to be perfect wives and mothers. She’s a child whose been forced to play the role of an adult bride at the end of the day, and I feel like a lot of people are very harsh on her without realizing that she is literally a child. I do think she’s quite similar to the quieter, more diplomatic Ned, while Arya takes after the independent, strong-willed Catelyn, but that doesn’t mean that Sansa doesn’t try to appeal to her mother. Her calling Jon her bastard brother is her doing just that. Her and Arya are a reversed version of me and my little sister (me being more like Arya and my sister being more like Sansa) so I very much have many MANY feelings about these characters and I can’t put them all down but hopefully this makes sense 😭😭😭 basically I think a lot of Sansa’s behaviour is a defense mechanism and symptom of being brought up in an unhealthy society and that she’s a child who deserves sympathy in her story. She’s smart and she’s a people pleaser and she’s scared and she’s a little girl who is being preyed upon by almost every man in her life from her betrotheds attack dog to her mothers childhood companion!!! She is a child!!!!

If you were wondering why many lesbians of color are fighting back against identity policing and rightfully calling it out as white supremacy, it is because this rhetoric is dangerous, harmful, and antithetical to our liberation. Invalidating lesbian manhood is rooted in antiBlackness and antiIndigeneity. Excluding lesbians of color for our race and culture is colonization in action. Excluding trans lesbians of color for our cultural gender and sexuality and for being trans in a way that subverts colonial gender systems is racist and transphobic. here is a fantastic article that talks about African gender and sexuality and highlights the existence of male lesbians or lesbian men. As an Indigenous person of triracial descent, I am proud of my Indigenous cultural gender and sexuality, and I will not allow white supremacists and queer assimilationists to erasure the history and cultures of my ancestors. Male lesbians and lesbian men are STILL HERE. We are proudly Black, Brown, and Indigenous! This is our tradition!

Taos Pueblo, NM

it was such a privilege being able to visit the Pueblo and immerse myself with the environment, the experience was worth the trip

other trans people don't dislike c*ntrapoints for trying to meet cis people where they're at, we dislike her for platforming Buck Angel and because the woman has a weird hate boner for nonbinary people, as well as evidently not thinking much of trans people that aren't "normal" in general

Performative activism. Loathe it so much. Because people always claim valuing and respecting and wanting to hear indigenous voices until we actually speak and want to discuss them then there’s not a single rats ass given.

What if the depictions of ancient Egyptian gods were actually their elders/chiefs/pharaohs in ceremonial headdress?

Like Native American headdress but for egyptian culture for example..

remember the golden rule of anthropology, kids!

your desire to learn does not outweigh a people's right to cultural sovereignty

I heard this music on Tik Tok with a photo of an actor called Cole brings plenty. Now, I'm obsessed. I didn't listen to the full song, but I liked the rhythm. Rest in Peace Cole.

Pains me to say it as an evil fucked up deer connoisseur but i think we need to put evil fucked up deer on the shelf until people learn to behave

It genuinely infuriates me that someone could write a very clear, straight forward sentence that needs no further elaboration of information on something pertaining to keeping something specific to a culture predominantly of color guarded or a closed practice, and you will still get white people in the notes like "Ok but but but can I be the exception?"

Okay but...what if we get a different ending from the ones in the game?? Like the movie is more or less like the game (Hopefully with new content), but the ending changes.

PLEASE LET JOSH SURVIVE.

for the American zionists i just have one question. if a militant group in Canada killed 100 people in Washington State and took 200 hostage would your first priority as a member of the U.S. government be to a) retrieve the hostages safely while strengthening your own protections against the militant group, or b) state that every single ethnic Canadian is a member of said militant group and nuke toronto

You guys need to just accept that mixed people exist, and are allowed to engage with all of their cultures. If you see someone engaging in a culture you feel they "don't belong" in, you need to do three things:

- Ask yourself if it's possible this person just isn't visibly from the culture you're trying to "protect"? Could they be mixed? Adopted into the culture? Maybe they just grew up around it and absorbed it? We don't live in a closed borders cultures world. Cultural mixing happens all the time, and it's a good thing.

- Ask yourself if you saying anything about it contributes something. Ask yourself why does it have to be you to "stand up" to someone who is in the "wrong culture".

- Mind your own fucking business.

When I’m a tattoo artist I will refuse to tattoo any sort of cultural appropriation… especially on middle age white women they are the worst for it

I really hope that when people read articles that are like, "People of this minority group are telling you not to [insert something pertaining to said minority group]," please use your brain and take it with a grain of salt and don't accept everything you read as truth.
