A couple of weeks ago at work, I watched a guy get a tenner out of one of our cash points, walk straight to us and try and buy a drink with this. We couldn’t exactly say no! It had come from us! So we accepted it, and spend the next few hours watching it get given out and given back in, made me smile everytime it boomeranged back to us.
LOL this is great.

Except for the fact that indigenous folks in South America (specifically Andean people) created the guinea pig way the fuck before 1783, through the selective breeding of nondomestic creatures related to Agoutis, as a meat and medicine bearing livestock. This was done with zero fucking percent involvement of Europeans or European-native animals.
But the continued erasure of NDN achievement in biological engineering and technology are totally cool when you’re done to prove how ~whimsical~ you are.
Tell us next how you invented potatoes, Tilda.
Moniquill will read you to filth.
It’s a fake twitter. It’s meant to poke fun at Tilda Swinton’s persona.
Everyone DOES realize that I have no fucks to give about who said this and how famous they are, right? Someone said it in the name of ~sillyness~ and ~whimsy~, and I’m pointing out that it’s fucked up.
Because people honestly DON’T know what NDN people have contributed to science and technology.
Because NDN biotech is ignored and erased.
Because people think that corn and potatoes and tomatoes guinea pigs and llamas are somehow naturally occurring foods and not human creations so altered from their pre-human-intervention forms that most people would not recognize them as being related.
Because people are still commenting ‘How can you possibly take this seriously’
And soy beans
And peanuts
and the newly domestic potato
And corn X2
and most modern wheat
And most bases of modern medicine
And PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE FOOD YOU EAT, THE BOOZE YOU DRINK, THE SHIT YOU SMOKE, AND THE CONDOMS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT WEAR WHEN YOU FUCK US

Bacha baazi is a practice in Afghanistan in which young boys are kidnapped, trained as dancers and raped by older men. This is by far one of the most despicable and disgusting practices and can be thought of as human trafficking and sex slavery. These boys are deprived of their childhood and assaulted in all possible ways.
This practice has now spread all throughout the nation and has been amplified now that there are drug mafias and war lords in power outside of Kabul. It is absolutely imperative for us to understand this issue and spread awareness about it. Here is a PBS documentary about Bacha Bazi. I strongly encourage you all to watch it and to share it with people you know. Here is a petition to build a shelter in which victims of Bacha Bazi can live and learn.
Please spread the word.

For hundreds of years Romani have suffered racism and prejudice because of the way we were stereotyped. A lot of hard work has went into changing people’s view of us around the world. This is being destroyed along with the reputations of our people. The Television Show “My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding” promises a look into the “Gypsy” lifestyle. What they are really doing is showing a small group of Irish Travellers and then passing them off as “Gypsies”. There are many lies that are being peddled to the viewers as facts so that the show’s producers can make a buck. But they are doing it at OUR EXPENSE.
One of the many lies shows a supposed “Gypsy” tradition called Grabbing, where boys basically assault young girls in order to steal a kiss. You know we don’t do this. Its insulting to Romanies and Irish Travellers alike that this show throws us into a pile with no respect to who we really are. We have been severely damaged by the way this show spins “Gypsies” into a Jerry Springer Show. Our people are being depicted as trailer trash, alcoholics and thieves which is causing even more hatred and more suspicion in the Romani and Traveller communities.Do not participate in the negative portrayal of the Roma by participating in this documentary. These people are sharks who will use and abuse you and your family. They are soliciting our kids on Facebook already. They’ve contacted my daughter, my sisters and other members of my family. Chances are they are trying to contact your chavies too.
Do not trust them!A show like this can make MILLIONS of dollars per season and will expose the way that you live and how you do business. They would pay you what amounts to peanuts. We have read dozens of reports from other Travellers and Romani in the United Kingdom about how our children are now the subject of even more abuse and are being bullied because of the lies produced in this show.
Take Action Now!
A potential class action lawsuit may be filed against the My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding to show these greedy outfits that we’re not going to take this laying down. All Roma, Romanichals and Travellers need to join the fight by filling out this petition. Just click on the clipboard to be taken immediately to the petition. We appreciate your support!
