hey does anyone wanna do the funniest thing ever

Mauna Loa is erupting, but it’s effects and it’s destruction go beyond the lava that will flow.

This eruption and lack of real response or aid by the federal US government marks another notch in the ignorance and dismissal of my people and our constant struggles.

They will do what they always do.

They will watch.

They will continue to “closely” monitor the situation as the lava disrupts the island and they will say the damage is unavoidable, while they sit far away and stall instead of sending real aid.

Mauna Loa makes up over half of Hawai‘i Island. There have been warning signs for months, with multiple earthquakes alerting us to her imminent threat.

And now the eruption is upon us.

Mauna Loa is famously unpredictable in her lava flow, and the future is uncertain for many residents who cannot afford to leave on their own. Without formal help and evacuation, many will have no choice but to stay where they are.

Still, as of Nov 28th, 2022, there is no official evacuation or formal aid by the federal government.

For years, America has claimed that we need them. For protection. For trade. For our economy. For tourism.

They have not protected us.

Right below our feet, our islands were stolen in an illegal overthrow of our sovereign Kingdom. This had lead to mass cultural displacement and loss of identity.

Right below our feet, our ʻāina has been commercialized to death and our culture has been turned into a walking attraction.

This is not protection.

True protection means community. True protection means Hawai‘i for Hawaiians.

America does not protect my people.

My people must protect ourselves.

Restore Hawai‘i to Hawaiians. End the American occupation.

not to Discourse but I’m a cis man and my partner is an afab enby and if you call us a “straight couple” I will personally come to your house tie you to a chair and make you listen to a podcast about gender identity on endless repeat

we have really allowed cis women to get FAR too comfortable being transphobic toward trans men.

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

you know what i don’t see enough of? circus kid dick grayson critiquing the joker because he’s a bad clown. not like, bad, and also a clown. but bad at being a clown. i want to see dick grayson taking the existence of this horrible clown very personally as a matter of professional pride. he has known clowns, and you, sir, are no clown. the joker is an insult to the legacy of emmett kelly and this shall not stand.
