Despite ongoing Israeli occupation attacks and threats to invade Rafah City, which is home to over 1.7 million Palestinians, many living in displacement camps and refugee centers, Resilient Palestinians arrange a mass wedding at a school in Rafah City, in the southern Gaza Strip.

PLUS SIZE ASIANS EXIST

Michelle Elman

As you all know I’ve been talking about the absence of Asians in adverts, campaigns and fashion in general so @lindablacker and I decided to team up on a little passion project. Look at how incredible these women look!

Here’s to showing them what they are missing 💪🏽

Despite the absence in the media, asian is actually the largest ethnic minority in the U.K.

Asians deserve to be represented.

Asians deserve to be seen.

And all Asians aren’t the stereotype of being small and petite.

Being Asian is not one look.

Being Asian is not one culture.

Whilst even this shoot isn’t perfect representation, it shows just a small sample of the diversity within Asia. #AsianRepresentation

Thank you to all the wonderful women taking part and being my stunning models @nesslala @bishamberdas @saalene @kat_v_henry @minakumari.uk @simksandhu95

This was such a personal project and I couldn’t have done it without @lindablacker. She came up with the idea when I was talking about asian representation earlier in the year and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do it. She has always placed diversity at the forefront of her shoots and her talent is remarkable. This entire concept was her doing and I’m so grateful for everything you did to make this a reality! Thank you also to @umberghauri and @hannah.shaikhup for the incredible makeup! It felt so complete to have the makeup artists also be Asian. We need just as much diversity behind the scenes on shoots as well! x

History of Step

What is Stepping?

What is Step?

Stepping or step dancing is “a percussive dance in which the participant’s body is used to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand-claps,” writes the African American Registry.

Step has its origins in Africa, as dancing has been a large part of traditional African culture for centuries.

Calling Step a "bizarre silent dance without music" has to be one of the wilder antiblack racist descriptions I've ever heard of stepping lmao. Anyway if you see the video, it's step!!! They're stepping!! It's a Black American form of dance!!

Queen Mother Macerate II

Rank: Royalty, Current Queen Kingdom: The Fire Ant Colony

Family: Queen Mother Macerate I - (Grandmother) ✝ Queen Mother Crossbow - (Mother) ✝ Almost every single ant in the colony - (Siblings, children, aunts, uncles) Director Rip Molar, Lieutenant Snap Neck, Lead Constructor/Scout/Chef/Food Guard - (Daughters) Head Rationer Flesh Maim, Lead Brood Guard Split Molar, Lead Watcher Break Neck– (Siblings and Sister)

Biography: At birth, Queen Mother Crossbow decided to name her after her own mother, the first Queen Mother Macerate, causing controversy due to Macerate's history with the Field Ants. This controversial name caused the colony to doubt in Macerate II, making her strive for perfection and undying loyalty to her colony.

Once, the young Queen stumbled upon a slug of a nearby Kingdom, introducing herself as Mulch. The two grew close, seeing each other’s company as an escape from reality. But, they had a falling out, leaving Macerate alone with her thoughts once more.

During a battle with a lizard, Crossbow was eaten. Overtaken with grief, Macerate II leapt at it with a dagger, but vanished into its maw. Suddenly, its throat was gashed open from the inside. Macerate II emerged, an antennae gone and her face cracked open, but alive, finally being crowned the new Queen.

Today, Queen Mother Macerate II has become a fierce militaristic force. She currently has an upper hand on the Field Ants, but a devastating event lurking on the horizon will put her strength and her faith in Ant Law to the test. The possible danger of the Field Ant/Bee alliance threatening her to choose between an "ant's dignity"- sticking to Ant Law of never appearing weak- or, swallow her pride and accept the help brought by her long forgotten friend, Queen Mulch; And maybe, just maybe, right the wrongs between them both.

HI i'd like 2 hear more ab ur beef w/ fernsong becuz i don't like him that much. either???? so erm yea :3333333

Simply said that he'd take care of the kittens, never went through with this

It could very much just be a case of the authors forgetting that part, which I would be fine with - a little annoyed- but fine with it

BUT THEN the fandom shat their pants and screamed that FernSong was "the number one den dad who loves his babies and his girlboss wife", then they began infantilizing him and making him a "malewife"

and from then on I've been locked into an eternal battle of wanting FernSong to have the most painful, slow, gruesome death imaginable

But I've been content with making him a deadbeat father

The entire situation of people revering FernSong for something that nearly everyone hated the female characters in the series for doing is what really did it for me. FernSong is not a den dad, he doesn't love his kids (Hell, he doesn't even talk to them), he doesn't talk to his wife beyond just "And FernSong and IvyPool were sharing tongues and letting out ''mrrows" of happiness". I hope he dies

#i love deadbeat father fernsong

Caption: [A stitch with user @/sapphicyuji. The text on screen reads, " "you can't misgender cis people!", you have never had your gender questioned outside of your transness and it shows. sincerely, a trans poc".

I'm actually super glad we're having a conversation about this. The masculinization of black and brown women, because for years I felt like I endured this unique form of trauma until I realized other people went through the same thing too. And if there's one thing that I'd like to add to the conversation, there seems to be this misconception that this is something that starts at puberty. Like boys tell you you look like a man to hurt your feeling when that's so far from the case.

The first time I was purposefully misgendered was in kindergarten. I was constantly referred to by the masculine variant of my name, I was chased out of the women's restroom, and I had grown adults questioning what my biological sex was before I even knew what the difference was. And those behaviors persisted into adulthood because now if I present as anything less than 100% feminine, people will either compare me to men or animals.

And for myself and for many other brown and black women this is a life long act deliberately intended to humiliate, shame, and other us for the features we were naturally born with and I'm glad we're having a discussion on how harmful it actually is.]

platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine
