Thank you for these links!
I love this quote by Tim La Batte in the Dakota Pipeline Protest Report:
“Our tradition inverts the understanding of power,” La Batte told me. “Instead of one person on the top of the pyramid holding power over all others, the person in power is below everyone else, holding them up. They carry the tribe.”
How astonishing it would be if we all practiced that.
That Milky Way map is amazing
Puppucinos are a total thing. When me and the pupper go to any Starbucks we get her one. It’s just a fancy name for “whipped cream in a cup”
I really dig the Shirley Manson and Carrie Brownstein interviews. Thank you! Also, who wants to road trip it with me to the Texas State Fair and then to Western Michigan for the lavender?
I do not understand how Empire Records was not on that list of 90s movies.
oh man. even though i haven’t seen that movie in well over 10 years, i could still quote it. so amazing.
Awesome to see the mention of Last Call: New Orleans! Unfortunately, I’m nowhere near enough to see the musical, but the podcasts are really great – definitely worth a listen!
I’ve been watching The Other Love Story (it’s up to ep 11 on YouTube now) and aaahhhh it’s so cute and so tender but right now it’s at a really sad moment and I will be SO PISSED if it turns out that one of them dies or something. Like really, I know having any sort of South Asian queer representation is an achievement in and of itself, but can they please avoid the whole Dead Lesbians trope please
