I can’t stand jokes about how young people are more politically radical than past generations cause they erase the history of activism, it just feels so disrespectful even if it’s a joke.....like bro you would be nowhere without the black panther party and other past liberation movements I hope you know this....

I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone that a majority of the Native American and First Nations items you see on display in museums are not only stolen, but extremely sacred. For *many* of these (especially things like masks, pipes, etc), they are only supposed to be seen during certain ceremonies, and never by outsiders. Some are ancestor spirits, some are animate, some have direct ties to certain cultural entities. Please be highly conscious and respectful of this when you come across photos of them online. Ask who the source is, and question if it's something your eyes were ever meant to see. If it's being posted from a Native Nation's channels/reps, or is being shared by Native Americans at large w/o a reminder to non-Natives saying to not interact, then it's generally fine to look at/share (tho you can also generally just ask us lol). But please please PLEASE quit posting/sharing images of things like masks and pipes.

no one ever wants to mention that marsha p johnson was also a sex worker
no one ever wants to acknowledge that sex workers have always been on the frontline of most radical historical movements

miss major and sylvia rivera were also sex workers and all of them used money from their sex work to keep lgbt kids from homelessness
