If white people can’t do yoga, then you can’t fucking play hockey. Or ride horses. Or play soccer. Or football. Or lacrosse (Canadians only sorry). Or play golf. Or any one of the many physical activities that were a large part of a white culture before globalization. Oh wait, you can globalize…

Except that the reason those European things are so ‘popular’ is those hundreds of years of colonialism/imperialism and forced assimilation, while those non-Western trend becoming popular are a result of … . uhhhh … oh right … colonialism/imperialism it’s dynamics.

You racism apologists love to completely ignore historical context. It’s like all of you were born yesterday!

Did she really use lacrosse as an example? Or by “Canadians only”, did you mean members of the First Nations?

And I hope you don’t think your European borderlines meant anything to the Native Americans from present-day Maine through New Jersey and Oklahoma? Not to mention versions played in Central America?

I grew up and still live in a place where this sport is played, for the most part, ONLY by upper-middle class white kids. And I’m tired of white people assuming that just because they have become the predominant users of some (most) things, they see no issue commandeering the history of it.

^^this. and didnt black nova scotians create ice hockey?

Good article on the origination of hockey by indigenous people of North American and major contributions of African-Canadian to today’s hockey.

“Our knowledge of the roots of Canadian hockey have been based almost solely on the historical records maintained by early White historians. Because of this, the misconception that hockey is a White man’s invention has persisted. We know today, such an assumption could not be further from historical fact. The roots of early Canadian hockey originate with the North American Indians. The roots of modern Canadian hockey originate, in large part, from the influence of an even more surprising source, that of early African-Canadian hockey. For it was Black hockey players in the later half of the nineteenth century whose style of play and innovations helped shape the sport, effectively changing the game of hockey forever.”

reblogging for more info

shorthairedjesus asked: what is your problem with me?

Well for starters you’re doing some major anti-Native racist imagery shit. You do not speak for us. Piss off x1

You claim to be “body positive” but all I see is you fetishizing non-skinny women. It’s creepy and your words do nothing but body police on the other side of things. Piss off x2

You followed all of the NDNs that reblogged and laughed at your racist photo. Why WHY would you do that? Piss off x3

edit: and you sure as hell aint Jesus. Jesus was brown, probably black, and didn’t piss the everloving fuck out of me. Piss off x4

Strong Families is a home for the 4 out of 5 people living in the US who do not live behind the picket fence—whose lives fall outside outdated notions of family, with a mom at home and a dad at work. While that life has never been the reality for most of our families, too many of the policies that affect us are based on this fantasy.  From a lack of affordable childcare and afterschool programs, to immigration policy and marriage equality, the way we make policy and allocate resources needs to catch up to the way we live.

We see the trend of families defining themselves beyond the picket fence—across generation, race, gender, immigration status, and sexuality—as a powerful and promising development for the US, and we want to help policy makers catch up.

Our vision is that every family have the rights, recognition and resources it needs to thrive.  We are engaging hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals in our work to get there.

Sent my momma’s one of these, she loved it!! These are the best cards ever.

I sent the gender is a universe one to my mom and we made a community one for our local rad mom, A. Love these!

Because I’ve been offline for so long, here are some incredibly silly photos my sister and I took this weekend, mainly because I was bored.

I think the traditional way of introducing photos like the ones above on Tumblr is “I don’t even”, but you deserve a back-story.

In short it all started with me saying, halfway through a pewter wire embroidered bracelet “Screw this, I’m bored, so I’m going to try braiding my hair, so that I look like Obelix, that seems like a better way to spend my evening at the moment”. And off I went (how the hell do you people do it, it’s harder than it looks …) and when I’d finished, my sister took a look at my half-arsed attempt and said, with no lack of utter contempt aimed at my braids, “Pah, I can do that better”, and then she was adding green yarn and what not to my hair while I was sitting there, going all “Ok, what the fuck’s happening”.

But yeah.

Then we decided that seeing as the silliness had already begun, we couldn’t just leave it at that, god no, so I decided to make a toga of a sheet and then these photos happened.

So.

Behold the Roman emperor, Ioannes Ericus Martinus.

Ave Caesar!
