All Hitler would have to say is "I only wish to rid the world of Zionism" to get you on his side.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY IVORY COAST 🇨🇮| MY COUNTRY, MY LAND, MY BLOOD, CULTURE

65 years ago, my great grandmothers, grandmothers, great grandparents fought blood against evil French colonizer to win our pride.

Ivory Coast is born from the 4 great Empire of Africa : Empire Akan, Empire Benin, Empire Wolof , Empire Songo.

There are 69 ethnicities in Ivory Coast regrouped in major 4 tribes : The Akan , The Mandé , Les Krou/Kru , The Voltaic.

Each came ancestrally from Ghana (Akan) , Burkina Faso/ Mali/Niger / Sudan (Mandé) , Liberia, Nigeria (Kru)

I want to talk about a specific ethnicity here who belong to the Akan and Kru (yes an ethnic group can belong to 2 tribes ) : The Gouro

You saw already a piece of the Gouro culture in your favorite film : SINNERS

THE ZAOULI DANCE/RITUAL MASK

Yes the mask dancing quickly in that Emblematic scene in SINNER is culturally Ivorian specifically Gouro.

Ivorian culture had CERTAINLY hit you once. Especially if you’re on social media. Here some viral dance who belongs to our culture

MUSIC :

Meiway — Tassouman (music link) at 4:18 the song you must have absolutely already heard stars

Tiken Jah Fakoly - plus rien ne n’étonne (music link) (English version funny thing it’s the colonizer themselves doing the chorus )

Meiway — Miss Lolo (miss big tits 🤣), (music link)

Well I will nag a lot about my country today since it’s a patriotic day. And I’m proud of my ancestors so be ready I guess

Oh and by the way, I’m Ivorian from Kru and Akan tribe ( Godie, Tchabia, Dida and Avicam are my ethnicities) A LOT 🤓

Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that gaslight gatekeep girlboss meme, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you think modern feminism has been co-opted by corporations. But what you don’t know is that that meme is not from Instagram, it's not from Twitter, it's not from Tiktok, it’s actually from Tumblr. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in January 2021, Tumblr user missnumber1111 posted, "today's agenda: gaslight gatekeep and most importantly girlboss." And then I think it was a-m-e-t-h-y-s-t-r-o-s-e, wasn’t it, who reblogged it with an image of the phrase edited over a piece of "Live, Laugh, Love" wall art? And then gaslight gatekeep girlboss showed up in the feeds of eight different Twitter repost accounts. Then it filtered down through Instagram and then trickled on down into some tragic “alt side of Tiktok” where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that meme represents millions of notes and countless Tumblr users and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from Tumblr when, in fact, you’re wearing the meme that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of “stuff.”

please look through the hiroshima peace memorial museum's august 6 exhibition and the stories of victims and survivors. today, august 6, is the 80th anniversary of the bombing of hiroshima, and saturday is the 80th anniversary of the bombing of nagasaki. please consider these events not only as a series of numbers or even a single day in world history but as the living hell they created for hundred of thousands of people. i realize a lot of people in the world probably don't know as much about the actual circumstances experienced by the people of hiroshima and nagasaki, as well as the indigenous people (downwinders and marshallese) affected by nuclear arms testing by the us, so instead of getting any more angry about how people talk about it (and how they dont talk about it) i just want to share. the images in those links are hard to look at but it's important, if you're in a safe place, please take the time to sit with them and what they say to you, it would mean a lot to me. all of the peace museum's permanent exhibitions are accessible for free online, i strongly recommend exploring them. & free palestine

I shared that on the wrong blog instead of my main, but I'm going to stand on it.

It is completely possible to support Palestine without being dismissive of Black lives. Chris Smalls went over there to help break a siege and do his part to prevent starvation, and he was brutally beaten and imprisoned for it. And your response is "well he's probably gonna die" and "well it happened to other people so that other poster is not wrong" 😐 it shouldn't have happened to any of them, either!

Plus, for all the protesting that happened over George Floyd (2020) literally any Black and/or leftist with some sense will tell you that it did not, in fact, change the world for the better. Things did not, in fact, get better, in terms of police violence after those protests. So invoking his name as though justice was ever gained for him or so many of the other dead Black people murdered through the violence that the IDF and American Police trade notes on?? Stop playing with me.

companies make billions from you thinking you're ugly btw. only ugly thing is their bottom line. log out of tiktok right now.

far be it from me to deny the self-evident truth that tumblr is a white and racist website. However you have to admit its a little funny to be throwing that stone from the glass website with an integrated hitler chatbot

if you actually talk to sex workers in real life you realise they have a lot in common with literally any freelance profession. like obviously its a field that IS more ripe for explotation and abuse than something like a digital artist and i dont wanna erase that. but when i hear an escort lightheartedly roast clients that go silent when you mention payment or camgirls grumble about having to manage their social media when twitter sucks these days im like oh fuckin been there. we are all in the trenches in our own ways.

i think all straight people should try being a little bisexual just to see how they feel about it. i dont even mean physically i just mean like. stare a photos of hot men for a bit. watch gay porn. deeply consider the potential of reconnecting with your childhood best friend who you kind of lost touch with despite how close you used to be, leading to a long slowburn romance in which you rediscover the things you love about eachother but don't want to commit in case it ruins your friendship. its called exploring your options ok.
