India's most unique village which lies in two countries! | - Times of India

Longwa village, nestled in the Mon District of Nagaland, India, is a place where the concept of national borders takes on a unique meaning. Here, the residents enjoy the rare privilege of dual citizenship, a result of the village’s geographical location straddling the international boundary between India and Myanmar.The village is home to the Konyak Naga tribe, known for their rich cultural…

I don’t think people posting “I’m not going to cry about it” [the deaths of anyone] in regards to what’s happening in Palestine and Israel right now realize how fucking callous that is. Well, maybe you aren’t, but some people very much are, and the fact that you don’t hold any emotional, cultural, or familial connections to the victims of violence and can just shrug it off under broader ideologies is a sign of your incredible privilege and remove, not of sensitivity and solidarity

#It is a PRIVILEDGE to be removed I don’t think you realize how callous (to say the least) this sounds #I’m not going to cry ok over the deaths of people ok good for you! #Some of us will be and that doesn’t make us any less reliable or neutral on these issues #As a Jew I feel intense emotional and physical connection to all Jews. I feel we are a singular. ‘Am yisrael #As a supporter of Palestine I feel intense rage and hatred in what has been done in our name and offer anything I can do in this period #As a member of a very small ethnic group im waiting to #Hear how the shoe drops in regards to if anyone I know or that my friends and family knows has been killed #Sorry that my conceptions of emotion and peoplehood lie outside acceptable western boundaries of the nation state

Watching hetalia again and was boutta rip on how stupid America looks when he’s eating chocolate for lunch in the Industrial Revolution arc instead of lasagna but then I remembered that I literally just ate candy for lunch today and shut my busy broke ass up

#the downside of liking to rip on a character that reps your country is that sometimes it’s like roasting a mirror #bitch that’s you #🧎 #sometimes I think hetalia get national characteristics a little too scarily accurate #like there’s some parts in the Hetalia manga #where hima is talking about typical workplace habits in different countries #and in the usa one he goes despite their outgoing loud nature Americans don’t actually like being too touchy #which is small but it made me sit there like #how does himaruya know about the American touch aversion. #I dunno it just stood out to me cuz whenever you see an American in most anime they’re always like really touchy and boundary pushing #which isn’t a big deal or bother me but it was just different ya know #and it made me pause lmao #hws america #alfred f jones #Hetalia

Forget Nonbinary, I'm a Gender Bender from the Gender Nation

#alter: riku #xivs telling me to tag this with the terf tags to rile them up cause they literally do talk about the Gender Nation and crap i swear #but im resisting the urge #it sounds funny #but hmm #i will only do it if people poke me to #shitpost #transgender #nonbinary #atla #avatar the last airbender #ftm #mtf #ntm #ntf #enby #i will settle with #terfs dni #so that the terfs that DO interact are inherently specifically looking for people to break the boundaries of

The objectively funniest part of mgs lore is the fact that the main catalyst for 90% of the events in the series is multiple different characters playing the worlds longest game of Chinese whispers with the boss’s will constantly misinterpreting it until the character who actually best understands what the boss wanted for the world isn’t even an mgs character, it’s pixy from ace combat zero.

#mgs #metal gear solid #ace combat #ace combat zero #what the boss actually wanted was a world without borders which she realized when she saw the world from space #pixy also wants a world without boundaries as well and literary tries to nuke the world to get it #while big boss thought she wanted to create a nation for soldiers #while zero tried inventing the illuminati cause he thought that’s what she wanted

i think it can be very comforting to decry the atrocities against palestinians because it's happening so very far away, but this kind of violent expulsion of people from their homes has happened, and is happening very close to you and me.

at the western border of the indian nation state, kashmir has been colonised for seventy six years now. in the heartlands, tribal territories are being usurped under the flimsiest excuses, and the people who live there are disappearing without a trace.

all of the hyper 'developed' city of new town, kolkata, used to be lush, productive farmland, owned and tilled by local farmers. the prime minister of west bengal, mamata banerjee, has promised that there will be no more bustees in kolkata. those are people's homes.

and about five kilometres from my own home is south city mall, built on land owned by labourers why lived in not-yet-pukka houses, just a little under two decades ago. palestine's tragedy is heartbreaking, but it's anything but a remote occurrence.

#i've been thinking about how territories within the boundaries of nation states can also be colonised #nation states are not homogeneous entities #phenakistoskope.txt

wait what is twitter doing?

oh my goddddd they’re saying that america is harassing cory bc last night she noticed the camera zoomed in on them and went “okay but just one kiss” and he goes “we talked about this.” notably, she did not attempt to kiss him and backed off when he said that!! and also notably, she got up and left the room for a bit and he cam talked and said the problem is not america, she’s great, it’s his own problem.

people are insisting she’s coercing him, harassing him, she’s a predator bc she’s an “older woman” going after someone younger, completely ignoring their entire dynamic is this push-pull thing that cory has pretty firmly stated he enjoys. it would be one thing if he’d been clear he doesn’t like her skirting around his boundaries but like, the other night she said “literally fuck me” and he immediately wrapped his legs around hers and they started playing footsie under the covers, LIKE. but nope, this is predatory on america’s part apparently

#bb25 #anons #like she kissed his shoulder and he kind of seriously commented on it and she hasn’t done it again #as people pointed out there’s so many reasons he could be interested and not want to start something in the house #including that he may have genuine feelings for her and would feel like it’s cheapening them to make out on national tv #which is. LIKE YEAH. i think playing with a boundary and doing regular check ins to make sure you’re not actually going too far #is just a very normal way of handling what is a very weird situation where u like someone and ur being filmed constantly #but twitter always has to make something out of nothing. it’s nothing!!!!!

congratulations on reconnecting with your cherokee ancestry!!!!! if it's not too nosy could i ask how you got started on this journey? did you know you had native ancestors and decided to look more into it?

Thank you !! It's not nosy! I'll put it under a cut cuz idk how long it'll get

So honestly no, I didn't really know. It's on my dad's dad's side and I never knew him. My grandma divorced my grandpa when my dad was around 10 and his step dad adopted him. Plus he never really talks about or to his family much and I'm only just now getting back in touch with my aunts on facebook

I just remember once my grandma telling me my dad had Cherokee ancestry, and I ignored it cuz i was so sure it was the same granny story everyone around here [in the south] has lol. [I didn't know at the time that my dad was born in WA and his dad was from there, my g grandad moved from OK to WA in the 40s, idk why]

Then later I asked and he messages one of his sisters, who said that their dad went to OK and found that 'his great grandma came off the reservation' and so they assumed my dad was 1/16 and me and my siblings were 1/32 [not true], which they somehow got in their head was 'the lowest the tribe still recognizes' lmao [also not true, if you have an ancestor on the dawes roll you're eligible for CNO citizenship]

Anyway, about a year ago I started doing research on ancestry [my mom luckily had a membership] and I quickly found that my gg grandad and his dad are both on the dawes rolls, the later of whom was a baby during the trail of tears. I'm also a Nancy Ward descendent

I found all this a year ago, got excited for a bit and kept going wildly back and forth abt whether I had any right to reclaim that identity, seeing as how I'm 1: very thin blood and 2: white, but I am eligible for CNO citizenship, but I didn't even know I was until then, but I'd love to learn more, etc etc etc. I kept talking myself out of it saying 'nah dude shut up you're white and you'd be taking resources and shit from others if you went around calling yourself cherokee'

So a year passed and something got me looking into it again abt a month ago, I looked at r/cherokee on reddit and saw some folks being pointed towards a cherokee genealogy Facebook group + people saying that yea anyone who has a documented ancestor on the dawes roll is valid to reconnect etc etc

So I got research done in the genealogy page and everyone was so welcoming, I got invited to a group of Nancy ward descendants, I got into the main cherokee Facebook group and I'm seeing how welcoming everyone in there is etc.. and I'm working on getting documents together to apply for citizenship! [Which is a massive pain since my dad was adopted, those documents are hard to get] and now I'm finally feeling like I can claim that identity ! Obviously I'm not a citizen yet but I'm working on it, and I have no doubt I'll be granted citizenship barring some sort of documentation mishap.

Obviously I'm still learning and reconnecting and I'm also white, I don't claim to know anything abt anything, nor do I claim any sort of oppression or whatever lmao, I'm just learning more and I'm really excited about it! I'm grateful to the cherokee groups I'm in for being so welcoming and open to 'lost' cherokees that were disconnected [and note these are legit groups, like ones that are exclusive to those who are citizens or can prove that they are documented descendants, not some random bullshit Facebook group haha]

I'm also learning the language some! So far I only know a few words and the syllabary, but I plan to jump into the live language classes when they start again in fall.

ᏩᏙ! Thanks for the ask! I'm glad you did ask because I know it's common to just sorta claim cherokee ancestry so I've wanted to explain and all.

#asks #anon #its just really exciting and im hype! im still kinda trying to figure out like. how to navigate it all since i am white and disconnected #but it seems like thats not uncommon for cherokees and the folks ive been seeing have been super understanding and welcoming #as long as people are respectful and willing to learn #ive always kinda thought that the issue would be people thinking theyre entitled to learn all the culture and shit because theyre citizens #even when white. but ive more seen complaints of the opposite #of white citizens who kinda throw around the identity without learning anything #so im learning what i can! and id love to make it to tahlequah for the national holiday #but i wont be able to this year. im also closer to the qualla boundary so maybe ill see if i can get to an EBCI powwow and visit the museum #cherokee #so i can keep track of stuff

evangelicalism is a mental disease what do you mean "god promised them that land" so the occupation is fine

#no you cannot be an Israeli and simply “exist” exempt from the moral implications of living on land still being stolen #if you aren't a literal child haven't left or aren't fighting for the rights of Palestinians You Are Also A Part Of The Occupation #You Are Also A Part Of Zionism #“a homeland for the Jewish people” at the expense of an indigenous population #the very existence of your nationality is akin to that of the situation in Al-Khalíl #settlers building on top of the native people and trampling upon /their/ very existence #the cognitive dissonance is unhinged #god promised them the land so it's fine if they slaughter people for it #god promised them the land so they can expel its indigenous people #god promised them the land so they can prevent the indigenous people they expelled— #— and their descendants from returning #god promised them the land so WE must give them the allowance to do whatever they please to get that land #god promised them the land so WE must aid them in whatever they please to get that land #god promised them the land so they can claim ALL the land within the boundaries of said promise fuck whoever already lives there #god promised them the land but it doesn't matter if some of them disagree and say it won't be achieved by men #you agree that Israel is committing atrocities but all of that also isn't wrong is the praise and worship crack?? #Christian Zionists you will begin to cough....

You know, some people are just that stupid...

As someone who lives in Colorado, where elk herds are just part of the landscape, this doesn't even surprise me anymore. Especially when these idiots get hurt. LEAVE THEM ALONE!

_______________________________

Yellowstone National Park is home to natural beauty in many forms, from the steaming Grand Prismatic Spring to the countless elk and bighorn sheep that wander its lands. But these things are meant to be appreciated from afar, as they often present a real and present danger to unsuspecting tourists.

One recent Yellowstone visitor got a little too comfortable with the wildlife while trying to capture a precious moment. The Instagram account Tourons of Yellowstone, which chronicles the shenanigans of tourist morons in the park, shared video of the encounter that could've easily turned gruesome in a matter of seconds.

A woman got up close to a bull elk grazing on grass on the side of the road to try to get a photo of the feeding animal. "The poor animal is trying to eat, and this crazy psychopath [is trying to take a picture]," the person recording the video can be heard saying.

The elk then looks up from its meal and turns toward the woman and begins moving toward her while the person recording—the woman's daughter—implores her to get back in the car. She turned the camera around to seemingly try to get a selfie with the animal as it charges toward her before she fled to the parked car across the road. As she catches her breath, someone asks her the question on everyone's minds: "Did you get a picture?"

Bull elk aren't exactly the friendliest animals up close. While this year's rut may be over, that doesn't mean one of these massive animals won't try to attack you if given the chance.

Duh, Jessica, big mf duh.
