andrew and i went to the mall today and there was a store called boxlunch that neither of us had ever heard of but when we went in i was like “this seems like a less goth teen hot topic” so i looked it up and it’s literally owned by hot topic but marketed toward people who no longer feel comfortable navigating around hot topic teens but still wanna pay too much for nerd shit
The employees told me that they wanted the nerd aspect without the goth, which lead to this.
I would also really like to point out that this seems like a good company, though. For every $10 you pay they donate money for food to the homeless or animal shelters.
name one native american intellectual off the top of your head, name one native american actor or actress off the top of your head, name one native american senator, one native american news anchor, or an author or a tv personality or a singer or a poet or a comedian, name a single native american teacher you’ve had, can you? probably not
ok so now think of one native american cartoon character you know of or a sports team relating to native americans whether it’s their actual name or their team logo, or a town you live in or near with a “native” name bet a lot of these things came to you right away i bet you didn’t even have to think
needing native representation in media, education and government are not decoy issues, the commercialization and appropriation of native cultures are not decoy issues, the lack of native representation is institutional oppression at work
White people specifically need to reblog this, I don’t CARE if it makes you uncomfortable–that’s the point. Listen to Native voices about Native issues PLEASE
White people specifically need to reblog this.
I’m white and this is a really good reminder to add to posts like these. They do make white people uncomfortable, they need to, but that also makes them easier to scroll past (the ”this really isn’t about me” narrative).
As a white person, sometimes I need a reminder that these are the posts I need to be reading and the ones I need to be using my white privilege to spread.
So yeah, white people specifically need to reblog.
found a phony news outlet saying that a goth proposed adding a black stripe to the pride flag to “represent goths” when thats literally…the victory over AIDS flag……….
if you see anyone on here or otherwise trying to make fun by saying goths are trying to push a flag with this pattern for goth inclusion:
that’s bogus. it represents victory over AIDS. just be aware
