Some Of My Favorite Woven Tapestries, By Cecilia Blomberg:

for no reason whatsoever here’s a reminder that if you consider yourself a leftist/punk/abolitionist/anarchist/radical in any sort of way and get called into jury duty, you are to become the most square person on earth during the jury questionnaire!!!

don’t be that guy who says fuck the police in the jury questionnaire! that just gets you sent home! if you want to generate change, interact with the case and use your jury vote for good! ESPECIALLY if it’s a high profile case!

Hi!! Hope you're doing well and healthy!! <3 do you know how to strengthen a relationship with a god/goddess? Or have any tips? I'm practicing bhakti yoga and I want to see the deities I worship as my best friends but idk how to do it right. Thanks in advance! 💙✨

What I generally recommend:

1. Do art for them (you don't have to be a super good artist, hell even stick figures work here)

2. Write poems or short stories featuring them

3. Pray to them

4. Dedicate activities to them (showering, eating, meditation, etc.)

5. Vocalizing (even if it's just sounds coming out of your throat, no specific syllabals or anything like that)

6. Wear an accessory thatyou dedicate towards them (I had some skull beads that I wore for Kali for an example)

7. Read books dedicated to them.

cultural appropriation in ATLA (hinduism edition)

i’m sure there’s already a ton of posts about this, but whatever, i’m still making one idc. 

ATLA’s cultural appropriation, everyone knows about it, the white people don’t speak about it, and the asian and indigenous people get ignored. we know the cycle. but i wanted to come here and highlight some of the most prominent examples of ATLA abusing hinduism, as i am kinda sorta hindu (i was raised in a hindu household, i go to chinmaya mission, that kinda shit). i might forget some things so keep that in mind.

this is gonna be divided into 3 main sections, since there are different ways that they disrespect hinduism that i don’t wanna lump together.

and i’d say i know a lot about hinduism but that doesn’t make me an expert, obviously, so if other hindus have anything to add and/or correct then please do !! and if anyone else wants to share how their cultures were appropriated then please do that as well !!

so let’s get started shall we?

You're not immune to being the bully btw. You're not immune to being in the wrong

asking people to be mindful of others when sharing a communal space (especially one you cannot just up and leave from) is not selfish or misanthropic. come on now
