“TMZ is reporting that Khloe Kardashian, believed by many to be the best and most endearing Kardashian sister”

Damn. Shaq is living his best life though. Between caping for the Sheriff’s department, driving monster trucks and DJing for 18+ clubs he’s living every 16 year old Orange County white boy’s fantasy.

RE: the photo at the top of the post.

For me it’s not her defense of his language, it’s her use of rape threats and transmisogyny to outline her relationship boundaries. I want her to succeed. I want her to have her voice heard. I do not want her message of self empowerment to be lost because of her messy personal life.

love her. love the album. love the ratchet shit im gonna do this summer listening to it. I love how much she talks about her pussy on it. As a female rap fan, it is so fucking nice to listen to some dirty bars about sex that ARENT objectifying me for once.

She has a problematic boyfriend, there is room for growth in her personal life. Did you read this article or Caity Weaver’s GQ article: https://www.gq.com/story/cardi-b-invasion-of-privacy-profile. It’s strange how sometimes we as women are held accountable for our partner’s short-comings.

She stayed with him because she’s a greedy fucking monster. Let’s not pretend that the women who married into this disgusting family are victims. They haven’t always only known what we all know - they’ve always known MORE.

I wish she’d delved deeper into that as well, and I wish she’d have mentioned that even authentic Native jewelry and art isn’t necessarily ethical, depending on where you buy it from. She kind of alluded to it when talking about buying directly from the artist to cut out the middleman, but given the really long…

Always was, always is, and always will be, Native land - no matter where you go.

Dear Anna,

I’m pretty sure NYC is Lenni Lenape territory. San Francisco is stolen/occupied Ohlone lands. Chicago is the homelands to Algonquian tribes. Atlanta is Creek and Muskogee lands. The metro Phoenix area, which includes Scottsdale, another culture vulture mecca, and Tucson are occupied O’odham lands. The name of Tucson…

I’m from Taos, and for me, it just comes down to being aware and having respect. I’ve met plenty of transplants and tourists who care deeply about the town. But I’ve also encountered tourists and transplants who happily consume the symbols and objects of my culture while simultaneously being racist or condescending…

Just a note to say thanks for this piece, Anna, and the conversation it is sure to generate.

This is true, but it is is of particular affront to the native peoples in that area. One of the only worthwhile things I did in college was participate in a field study where we spent a few weeks living with and learning about the cultures of the Hopi, Zuni, Navajo, Acoma Pueblo and Havasupai. They’re short on…

I was born and raised in southern NM, so we get some of these guys and also those old fucks who want to retire somewhere sunny and cheap, defunding schools and putting up anti abortion billboards. I live in Abq now and the number of Europeans I’ve met who want to “become native” is really...something.

I stopped reading at “At the same time that Santa Fe and Taos undergo a massive and perhaps irreversible gentrification process.” FFS, Taos is a goddamned ski resort and has been an artist colony since 1899. Georgia O’Keeffe moved to Santa Fe in 1984. Both these places were gentrified before this person was even born.…

My friend’s mom, fullblood Diné, would go down to the rest stops in the four corners region and sell fake ‘Navajo’ turquoise to tourists in the 1990s. This stuff has been going on for decades.

Out there, on the internet somewhere, there’s a lengthy article written by a born and raised Brooklynite talking about their neighborhood being overrun with a scourge of bloggers from New Mexico.

You could almost apply this whole essay to Mexico as well. I spent the winter (2.5 months) in Baja California (Sur) overland camping. I hadn’t been there for over 20 years. I couldn’t believe how much gringos had taken over the peninsula and Sea of Cotez.
