NEI, for svarte.
Spar meg for dette sløve "de fleste"
Skatt er ikke skadelig. Skatt er sivilisasjon. Skatt er nasjonsbygging. Skatt er velferd og likhet.
Denne hjernedøde repetisjonen av en ny og importert ideologi trekker generasjoner av menneskers innsats ned i søla.

I don't normally post text walls, but this message I wrote is so damn important to me. Please read if you have a moment, and if you have never heard of this history before today, please consider giving the gift of knowledge to others as well ❤️
May 14 was Girmit Day in Fiji, which commemorates the day that Indian people were first taken to Fiji as indentured labourers (Girmityas). Similar days are also held in other places across the Pacific and Africa where Indian indentured labour was used. The history of indentured labour is commonly overlooked in colonial histories, even though it is part of the long and painful legacy of slavery, framed as it was as a "humane" and "ethical" alternative to the atrocity of chattel slavery. It's so important to acknowledge how colonialism has entangled so many societies with each other, having a huge impact on subsequent geopolitics. In the case of Fiji, the "myth of the lazy native" was used by the British to sow the seeds of future intergroup violence through their differential treatment of Indian labourers/i-Taukei Fijians, while completely denying accountability. Recent years have seen increased efforts towards reconciliation between i-Taukei and Fiji-Indian Communities, including relaxed visa stipulations for descendants of Fijian Girmityas who wish to return to the country of their ancestors. Similar conversations are happening to various extents in many other regions that have historically used indentured labour, led not by the colonisers who created these ambiguous circumstances in the first place, but by the resultant Communities. These are fascinating and nuanced histories, and although it's ultimately very bittersweet with many questions that will remain unanswered and unrectified, I am so proud to honour this history as part of my own.

Merry #PrideMonth! Thought I would share my video on how I figured out I was demisexual, for those of you who might be wondering but not quite sure who you are.

If it resonates with you or you think it might help someone you know, shares and comments are always so very welcome ♥

Denne er verdt å tenke litt over i tider som dette.

Skulle gjerne vært kampen foruten, men det er noe vakkert med alle som står opp for det som er sant og rett også. Håper det går vår vei.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"
