Not to be picky, but I would hardly call Juchitan a little town. At 75k inhabitants it is bigger than Tehuantepec and almost as big as Santa Cruz.

This so much. Also, another thing that boils my blood is that these male chefs always cite their mother’s cooking as inspiration. Yet these same male chefs do not respect women in professional kitchens.

One thing I still absolutely love about my inner-city magnet elementary school in Chicago I went to was that this song - because of our incredibly diverse (by design) student body - was a regular part of our song repertoire, as were many standards from slavery and Civil Rights days. Even today I catch myself singing…

Welcome to the awfulness of monoculture. Peru, where the potato is from, has over 8000 varieties and they come in several colors. 

As someone who studies the anthropology of sports and the archaeology of ancient American sports, politics and sports have always been intertwined. Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant.

Your answer reveals your ignorance of the immense work that black women did for the feminist movement, even as far back as the 1850s (hello, Ida B. Wells). Your ignorance is just as bad as how white feminists tried to keep black women from being visible in the movement, just as black men kept black women out of view…

I’m sorry that you were stuck in an anthropology class taught by someone who was clearly from an older school of thought and attitude, because anthropology has undergone major paradigmatic shifts since the 1970s and 80s.

Have you been to an anthropology class in years, at least one at a good school? Since the post-modern critiques of the 1970s and 80s anthropology has been confronting its “handmaiden to colonialism” past and there has been definite shifts in the way we approach and interact with non-Western cultures. Much of the…

Oh honey, you need to go back to school so you can learn the definition of words. My calling out your neo-colonialism is not racism by any stretch of the imagination. I am also not insulting your heritage, rather you are by saying it’s okay to exploit the IP of indigenous people for profit. You can call me a racist…

I think its funny you think I’m the racist when you are the neo-colonialist dipshit Uncle Tom who thinks that its okay for white people to exploit indigenous people as long as they claim to be artists. Culture is intellectual property. Your Algonquin ancestors are hanging their heads in shame at you. You fuck off…

Culture is IP you dipshit. Cultural designs are the intellectual creations of the people who make them, and it is their fucking property. ESPECIALLY when these stylistic designs have important cultural, religious, and social values for the people who make them. The fashion designers who have making millions off these…

White colonialist mindset yet again. You say you were inspired by Southwest tribes, really how hard would it be to go to Zuni, Navajo, or Hopi pueblo? You know they all live on the same reservations, right? You could actually easily go out there and talk to them. Clearly you are a fake-ass Native, a white girl playing…

So because those folks do not have access to these same markets as the large-scale companies and designers, that means it is okay to exploit their intellectual property and hard work? Or would it be better to, I don’t know, work with indigenous artisans to bring their products to the global market for fair prices…

Here is the issue that you are not seeing. Many times, people will go down to artisan villages in Latin America, or other parts of the world, buy their crafts or “take inspiration” in their designs, then either sell what they purchased for dirt cheap or replicate what they saw and sell it in order to earn millions of…

Also, they are totally stealing the hook from this:

You’re ignorance is showing. Bernie hasn’t just done shit since the 60s. If you look at all the bills he has sponsored, he has been advocating for the rights of women, minorities, the working and middle class for the entire time he has been in office. He has held to his ideals and doesn’t just change according to what…

Our “dickwad candidate” couldn’t win the primaries because the DNC stacked the deck against him and engineered so that Hillary won. Poll after poll showed that Bernie was the only candidate who could beat Trump. And now, post-election, while you’re girl was off in the woods reconnecting, Bernie is down in Trump…

If I didn’t, it was only because I was in the middle of traveling somewhere and just simply forgot. Or I assumed that people familiar with the Haymarket Eight would know that already. Aside from that, she was more of a socialist than an anarchist.

Don’t forget Lucy Parsons, who along with her husband Albert was a leading figure in the workers’ movement in Chicago, and was one of the key figures during the Haymarket Eight trial (Albert would later be convicted and hung). Lucy fought for weekends, the 8-hour workday, and for the rights of working women and…

Those metal marbles are ben-wa balls. One is filled with a liquid substance and the other one is hollow. Through movement, the liquid-filled one bangs against the hollow one, which creates vibrations. So, basically like an old-fashioned vibrator.
