Digital illustration of a brown fem with a purple bob. They are looking back, with the collar of their pink denim jacket lifted up. The jacket has two pins that depict a rainbow flag and trans flag and there’s stars and text that reads, ‘support abortion access.’

UNfriendly reminder to look at disabled people when you’re talking to us or asking questions about us.

Don’t look at our caregivers, don’t look at our partners. Look at us.

Even if we need a caregiver’s help to respond, we still deserve the same respect you’d offer anyone else.

With the drop of the new Fantastic Beasts trailer, let's take a moment to remember that JKR:

1. is unequivocally a TERF + openly supports and allies herself with other TERFs

2. uses her massive wealth and platform to fight against trans rights, such that an anti-trans republican senator has cited her controversial essay to block voting on the Equality Act , and

3. has retained so much control over the HP franchise that giving her money (through movie tickets, book sales, official merch, etc) actively enables and contributes to the platform she uses to target vulnerable people

Thank you everyone who has helped me in the past with donations. Unfortunately, my job searching has not been successful so far and once again I am scraping the very bottom of the barrel to get by. I am able to afford rent, but there is almost nothing left for groceries, bills, pet care and other necessities.

I understand that a lot of people are in similar situations this time of year so I understand if you can’t contribute. If you are unable to provide donations, please reblog. Every little bit you do will help me so much

Thank you ❤️

The Thanksgiving Myth

The "friendly Indians", that kids all across the US dress up as in generic stereotypical caricature "Indian" costumes in the week leading to Thanksgiving, are not characters in a play, or people of the past. They are the Wampanoag Tribes— learn their history today.

"In 1692 the Wampanoag Tribe Had Its Own Agenda: In American lore, friendly Indians helped freedom-loving colonists. In real life, the Wampanoags had a problem they didn’t know how to fix." By David J Silverman in The Atlantic

"The Myths of the Thanksgiving Story and the Lasting Damage They Imbue",by Clair Bugos in Smithsonian Magazine. Interview with the above author.

"Do American Indians celebrate Thanksgiving?" by Dennis Zotigh in Smithsonian Magazine

SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT

“In March 2018, Peter-Lucas Jones and the ten other staff at Te Hiku Media, a small non-profit radio station nestled just below New Zealand’s most northern tip, were in disbelief. In ten days, thanks to a competition it had started, Māori speakers across New Zealand had recorded over 300 hours of annotated audio in their mother tongue. It was enough data to build language tech for te reo Māori, the Māori language – including automatic speech recognition and speech-to-text.

The small staff of Māori language broadcasters and one engineer were about to become pioneers in Indigenous speech recognition technology. But building the tools was only half the battle. Te Hiku soon found itself fending off corporate entities trying to develop their own indigenous data sets and resisting detrimental western approaches to data sharing. Guarding their data became the priority because the only people truly interested in revitalising the Māori language were the Māori people, themselves.”
