“Farming technique called ‘baliling’ done by the indigenous peoples of Bayyo in Bontoc, Mountain Province, Cordillera Philippines. Baliling is done by overturning the soil and creating beds after the rice cropping cycle. The beds are planted with legumes or sweet potatoes. this improves soil fertility and aeration. The canals in between maybe filled with water, an efficient irrigation system. Creating artistic patterns in the fields brings a joyful aura in the field for the farmers, and all entities that inhabit the field. This includes ancestral and nature spirits who are believed to be also sharing the space and participate in bringing about abundant harvest and balanced ecosystems.” ~From “Proud to be Indigenous” Facebook page

cw: abuse (financial, domestic, sexual, racial)
i am sharing this on behalf of my friend sol, who has suffered extensive abuse and is currently in very dire circumstances.
sol has suffered injuries to her body, her mind, her career, her finances—every area of her life has been deeply affected by the prolonged mistreatment she endured. she was forced into intimate contact with white supremacists, and her queer identity was used to sexually manipulate her. though she is no longer in this abusive relationship, the impact of that abuse persists.
her ability to heal from her abuse has been hindered greatly by her lack of financial resources. after causing her to undergo frequent hospitalization, her abuser took control of her accounts and drained her finances, leaving her with a mountain of debt from his fraud and the medical expenses. on top of that, she is the sole financial provider for her family and was recently laid off.
financial support is critical to the survival, safety, and recovery of those who have experienced abuse. as the youcaring link states, just one sexual assault can cost upwards of $122,461 per victim. this is an unimaginable cost for most individuals to shoulder alone, and it only deepens as the abuse increases in type and duration.
i am asking you to PLEASE help sol survive in any way you can, even if your contribution is small. little donations can go a long way when added up, and every reblog spreads this link to a new person and increases the amount of visibility for our cause. sol deserves to reclaim everything that was taken from her, and your support will help her on that path.
please donate and/or reblog!

“In the US, 3 women a day are killed by their abusive partners. According to a 2016 report by the Violence Policy Center, Black women are more than 3 times likely to be murdered by their partners than white women. Every day I am thankful that my friend survived, but surviving the immediate violence was only half the battle. The support she receives (or doesn’t receive) after abuse will also have long-lasting consequences, and I ask for your help in making sure that she has the best chances possible in making it through this alive. As she is the sole financial provider for her family, we would like any help we can get in letting Sol reclaim a life stolen from her.”
please donate and reblog!! Sol is one of the sweetest people there are. she deserves the best, but is suffering so much from the abuse she endured. for black history month, let’s raise money for her and share the shit out of this!
In this place, and more particularly, in this time, generations appear to flower, flourish, and wither with the speed of light. I don't think that this is merely the inevitable reflection of middle age: I suspect that there really has been some radical alteration in the structure, the nature, of time. One may say that there are no clear images; everything seems superimposed on, and at war with something else. There arc no clear vistas: the road that seems to pull one forward into the future is also pulling one backward into the past. I felt, anyway, kaleidoscopic, fragmented, walking through the streets of San Francisco, trying to decipher whatever it was that my own consciousness made of all the clements in which I was entangled, and which were all tangled up in me.

But I have always been struck, in America, by an emotional poverty so bottomless, and a terror of human life, of human touch, so deep, that
virtually no American appears able to achieve any viable, organic connection between his public stance and his private life.
This is what makes them so baffling, so moving, so exasperating,
and so untrustworthy.

Happy belated birthday Utena! 💗 (29/12)
For, intellectual activity, according to me, is, and must be, disinterested-- the truth is a two-edged sword-- and if one is not willing to be pierced by that sword, even to the extreme of dying on it,
then all of one's intellectual activity is a masturbatory delusion and a wicked and dangerous fraud.

Time passes and passes. It passes backward and it passes forward and it carries you along, and no one in the whole wide world knows more about time than this: it is carrying
you through an element you do not understand into an element you will not remember.

2017 marked the 20th anniversary of the original airing of Revolutionary Girl Utena. exactly 20 years ago today, the series ended with the final episode “Someday, Together, We’ll Shine"
Utena is widely considered one of the best, more influential, most interesting anime series of all time- it’s a little embarrassing to say, but in my opinion it’s one of the most incredible pieces of fiction of all time. it’s definitely important to me, at least. so i wanted to do something for today.
i like to believe, twenty years later, they are still together.
