White people: I wear Native American war bonnets and face paint because I have a deep appreciation of Native American culture.
Native Americans: Hey, could you stop doing that? It's harmful to us.
White people: Nah, I respect your culture too much to listen to what you have to say about it.

Seriously tho, let me gush about Dumont..
ayiman:
Gabriel Dumont was a badass.
He spoke 6 languages.
He was a member of a war band at 14, during the Battle of Grand Coteau, a two day skirmish between a small party of Metis buffalo hunters and a much larger party of Yanktonai warriors.
He was in charge of the community buffalo hunt by the age of 23. I can’t really overstate how big of a deal that is. When your community depends on...

Translated:
“The fact that there are people who refuse to engage me according to my arbitrary terms of bourgeois civility while also refusing to acknowledge my sense of white male entitlement confuses and terrifies me.”
Holy crap this is my life right now.

The moment that the cork comes out of the wine bottle, freeing the gorgeous liquid inside. Like the birth of a pure newborn child into this grey and torpid world of ours.

Quick Rant About Rape Culture, Solidarity, and...
**trigger warning**
Being suspicious of the motives of your male friends sucks. It sucks super hard. Especially when you’ve done really intense things with them, have risked a lot to stand with them, and have had their back. Not to mention that they are your friends, and you like them and want to trust them more than anything.
Here’s the thing: Friends rape. I was nearly raped by...

6partylive:
By Abby Lippman, Professor Emerita Michael: Your latest moves (e.g., cutting power; refusing food supplies) against those peacefully protesting on the 6th floor of the James Building leave me ashamed to be a faculty member at McGill.

Just need to slow the ol’ brain down long enough to rock the REM.
Anyone have any (non-pharmaceutical) tricks?
What I’ve been trying:
-watch non-action movies (I’ve probably seen Jane Eyre over 40 times by now)

I just saw someone suggest that the world would be an infinitely better place if everyone was vegan - even ‘Peruvian indigenous villages’ because we live in ‘a developed world’. In short the person is being purposely vague but ultimately suggesting making contact with…

“You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that...
