destroy the “german is a scary language” stereotype 2k15

it’s actually a really cute language and kinda funny sometimes like guinea pig in german literally means “little sea pig” and turtle means “armor toad” and then instead of saying what’s your name they ask you “how are you called”

And “How much clock is it?”

Gloves in german translates literally to “Hand shoes”

FINALLY

Fun History Fact: The overwhelming majority of cowboys in the U.S. were Indigenous, Black, and/or Mexican persons. The omnipresent white cowboy is a Hollywood studio concoction meant to uphold the mythology of white masculinity.

I think it was high school when i overheard some white girl put on her best semi-disgusted and confused voice and go “why do so many Mexicans dress up like cowboys?” and I had to be the person to tell her.

Why do you think the whites say buckero? Cause they couldn’t say vaquero.

I dunno if I reblogged this before but fuck it, y'all gon learn today.

Thank you.

I had no idea :(

so prominent BLM activist deray mckesson just retweeted this which i think is super cool for various reasons :)))

I did not know this. Is it OK for a non Muslim woman to shake hands with a Hijabi? Or do we do the hand on chest thing too?@popcanpoli

hey so i don’t wear a hijab and i’m not muslim so i definitely don’t have the authority to answer this question (or any other questions i’ve been getting abt this) (i’m just a lil canadian politics blog i didn’t expect this to blow up lol) 

BUT here are some tweets by the original tweeter (who wears a hijab) that clarify some things

one: 

two:

three: 

This is also good if you’re meeting an Orthodox Jewish person who’s not the same gender as you!  Not all Orthodox Jews hold by this restriction, and many consider it a permissible exception to shake hands in a formal greeting context; I’d guess this is parallel to Ms. Soueidan’s last-quoted tweet above.  And as that says, the sensible thing is to wait for initiation.

learned something new. awesome

THIS IS REAL MUSIC PEOPLE

No offense but I hate it when people sit down next to me to smoke…like sweetie…I was here breathin…

this is so funny

the longer you look the better it gets because the tiniest details line up.

Daily Show correspondent Hasan Minhaj, who is Muslim, sat down with Sikh American and artist Waris Ahluwalia, to talk about the discrimination he faces just because he “looks Muslim.” Ahluwalia isn’t shaken though: “That’s why I wear the turban.”

Today in class,

My teacher told us to pick a star from this envelope. There were four colours, blue, green, yellow and pink. She told us to write something on each point relating to something she said; a close friend, a close family member, dream job, a community you belong to, a life goal and an item on our bucket list (the star had six points). I thought this was going to me a fun activity, but it turned out to be a journey.

“This is to explain the coming out process. The colour of your star will determine your outcome”. And I guess you can say I’ve been pretty lucky to have so many accepting people around me. I was about to realize a lot.

We started off with the close friend. She said “you come out to your closest friend first. If you have a blue star they accept you and support you for who you are. If you have a green or yellow star, they are taken back a bit and stop talking to you for a bit but come to understand it. Fold back that point in your star. If you have a pink star, they are disgusted and you never seen them again. Rip off that point completely”.

It was essentially a series of disappointing results for myself because I had picked a pink star. My life had been a blue star, so I never knew what it was like to really have a pink star. Today I got an idea as (in theory) my closest friend rejected me, my family disowned me and kicked me out, my dream job found out and fired me, my community stopped associating with me and my life goal wasn’t accomplished because I was too depressed to achieve it. All that was left was my bucket list item. I had written “have kids” but if all that was happening, I wouldn’t know if I would be too depressed to find the love of my life and have kids.

So all I’m left with is my name in the centre. I looked at the teacher and raised my hand. “ahh I see you have a pink star. How does it feel to lose everything?” She said. I looked back at it and said “but I didn’t”. My teacher looked very confused, so I began to explain a bit. “You see, you had us tear off the points, but we still have the middle. It’s because even though I lost my friends, family and my dream job, I still have me. I didn’t change for anyone, I stayed true to myself and in the end, it will work out”.

this is really cute

awwwwwwww stop it thats gross

God the cute 😍
