"The thing about cultural appropriation is that the appropriator does not have to face the same consequences that we do for practicing our culture or faith. For them, it is an accessory that can be taken on or off at will, while for us, it is a way of life. …in a society where immigrants and communities of color are marginalized at every level, we can’t pretend that power relations do not exist when we have this conversation about appropriation. Sharing and exchanging cultural and spiritual practices is great, but it gets more complicated when we’re not all on equal footing. It gets more complicated when meaningful things are taken, commodified, and exploited for a profit, with little respect shown to the community they were taken from."

Always this.

I’m so bored of writing my thesis that I’ve had to write the last four chapters in different fonts just to liven it up a little.

It’s that thing where Bill Hader is leaving Saturday Night Live this weekend

Oh my god worst entertaiment news since something I’ve blocked out of my memory.

27 is the year that I legit stop taking shit.

My friend said to me that she saw saw turning 27 as an opportunity to say to herself “I am a grown-ass woman and I’m not putting up with this/that any more” and this is something I will be fully embracing.

I am 27

I’ve been learning some Catalan.

Love it.

This is all.
