reblog if you’re NOT tumblr famous, but you ARE tired and kinda gay

name one native american intellectual off the top of your head, name one native american actor or actress off the top of your head, name one native american senator, one native american news anchor, or an author or a tv personality or a singer or a poet or a comedian, name a single native american teacher you’ve had, can you? probably not 

ok so now think of one native american cartoon character you know of or a sports team relating to native americans whether it’s their actual name or their team logo, or a town you live in or near with a “native” name bet a lot of these things came to you right away i bet you didn’t even have to think 

needing native representation in media, education and government are not decoy issues, the commercialization and appropriation of native cultures are not decoy issues, the lack of native representation is institutional oppression at work 

White people specifically need to reblog this, I don’t CARE if it makes you uncomfortable–that’s the point. Listen to Native voices about Native issues PLEASE

banish the idea that platonic love is a lesser form of love

if you go through life not investing in your friendships the same way you invest in romantic relationships, you will always be looking for love, feeling lonely, completely blind to the love all around you

friendship is not a lower level relationship. it is not a lesser form of love.

One of the striking things about math education for me is that most of the common objections to how the material is taught have really simple answers, but I have never in my life heard a math instructor provide those answers.

For example, something you hear a lot is: “why am I losing points for not showing my work when I got the correct answer?”, or even “why are we being told to use this procedure at all when the answers are so obvious?”.

There answer to both of those questions, of course, is: “Because what’s actually being taught is a problem-solving method that works for big and complicated problems as well as small and simple ones. We practice it with the simple ones first so that you can easily compare your intuitive solution with the results of applying the method and know whether you did it right. That way, when we get to the complicated ones where the intuitive approach doesn’t work, you can have confidence that you practised the method correctly.”

Not once in two decades of schooling did I hear that rationale offered – if an instructor deigned to address the objections at all, their response typically boiled down to some variation of “because this is how it’s done”.

i may not have any thoughts or brain cells but that doesn't mean my head is empty. its actually full of those glow in the dark stars you stick on your ceiling.

Hey, as a heads up for people selling Bi Pride-themed items: this account has suddenly started claiming that they owned the copyright to the bi flag and is asking anyone who sees it being sold to report it back to them. They do not.

Please spread this around. I'd hate to see LGBT+ creators who dont know any better getting scamed into giving these shady people money.

How can you honestly claim to be a feminist if you say derogatory things about female sex workers and trans women???

Four people unfollowed me after I posted this lmao, if you don’t think that trans women and sex workers deserve respect and acceptance please follow suit

For real.

If you don’t reblog this you’re a person who didn’t reblog this.
