thoughts thatve been living rent free in my head for a week
do not ever slander the beautiful goddess carbs around me
“empty carbs” don’t you dare talk about her like that. you’re empty. how do you like that.
So thanks to a friend,I checked and several names of Nigerian tribes are trademarked.
Timbuktu, an outdoor clothing brand based in northern England, filed to trademark the word “Yoruba”.
They are not the only one,hoever.
Some examples of it being registered,or attempted to be registered
I think we should talk about it more,as it is cultural appropriation,stealing people’s culture to use as brand names,collections,or other stuff such as one i saw being used as POLO SHIRT brand name.

thinking about edvard munch's "The Sun" (1911)
like yeah thats how it feels. thats what it feels like to exist sometimes. he gets it
It's actually kind of ridiculous how trans women have been pushed out of transmisogyny, like the mythical flawlessly passing perfectly feminine femboy who has to tell the audience stand in flirting with him "Actually I'm a guy" is just the same transmisogynistic joke since the fucking nineties of someone flirting with a woman and then suddenly noticing they're trans except now in a progressive turn of events, there are no more trans women! To prevent transphobia we have erased trans women while keeping the exact same jokes used against them for decades! We hope to make a much more sensitive and respectful place without trans women for everyone!
we used to make fun of men for making boobs and butt art. we used to critique misogyny in media.
