Can't get enough NDN humour? The best of the #NativerThanYou hashtag is preserved here for eternity
ETA: Maybe I should include a sampling of those tweets.
- @m_melody: @deejayndn @Ostwelve I gave Edward S. Curtis different clothes because he didn’t look white enough to be my entourage. #NativerThanYou
- @m_melody: Museums didn’t actually steal anything. I just made them put my extra sacred objects in storage. #NativerThanYou
- @thatndnguy: #NativerThanYou Vine Deloria stole my notes in college
- @deejayndn: I beat Atanarjuat the fast runner in a race. #NativerThanYou
- @deejayndn: Elders call the rocks they’re about use in a sweat, “Dee Jay NDNs”.
- @ErinKonsmo: I chose to decolonize my diet by sticking to blueberry & strawberry flavoured condoms. #NativerThanYou @NYSHN #NYSHN
- @atribecalledred: @Ostwelve @m_melody Tobacco is put down and a pray is said when the barber sweeps up my hair.
I know I made a “lol white people” post just yesterday but I need to make one again.
OMG YES YOU ARE SO ENLIGHTENED, WHITE BOY. YOU ARE LITERALLY TOO HIGHLY EVOLVED TO COMPREHEND WHY EVERYONE ELSE STILL CARES ABOUT RACE AND ETHNICITY, LIKE WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME SOMEONE GOT LYNCHED? 1135, RIGHT? IT’S TOTALLY ~ILLOGICAL WHICH YOU KNOW BECAUSE YOU ARE BASICALLY A VULCAN! HOW COULD ANYONE POSSIBLY ASSIGN ANY DEEPER MEANING TO SKIN COLOUR AND, WHILE WE’RE AT IT, HOW IS BABBY FORMED?!
god I hope no one from Twitter finds my Tumblr

Anthy teaches us how to undress a lady.
This made me too happy.
Yes!
*puts on shoes and coat, gets on the streetcar, disembarks somewhere in etobicoke near the lake shore, goes to humber bay park, hikes out to the very farthest point of land, throws head back and howls at the moon*

Tuskegee’s historic love story
Herbert Carter, 94, one of the original 33 Tuskegee Airmen pilots, holds a portrait of his wife, Mildred Hemmon Carter, in her flight uniform. She was the first black female pilot in Alabama and is counted among the history-making Tuskegee Airmen, too. He eventually rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. Married nearly 70 years, the two were known as Tuskegee’s “first couple.”
oh hey happy badass non-white aviators week

Chinese Aviatrix Receives Gift Of New Plane From Colonel Roscoe Turner, Washington, D.C., 1939
Here’s what you need to know: Hilda Yen was awesome. Born into a highly influential Chinese family, she earned degrees from both Smith College AND Yale. Yen was spoken of in the same breath with the likes of her contemporary, Amelia Earhart. She took her flying skill to China to instruct others on how to fly. In the picture above, she accepts a gift of an airplane, on behalf of the “Friends Of New China,” from American military officer, Colonel Roscoe Turner.
A month later the plane nearly killed her when she crashed into a field, but she bounced back, advocating for China the rest of her life.

Taxes takin’ my whole damn check,
Junkies makin’ me a nervous wreck,

An’ as if all that shit wuzn’t enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face an’ arm began to swell.
(but Whitey’s on the moon)

(Hmm! Whitey’s on the moon)

Reblogging because this makes me ugly laugh all the time. Not even when I’m looking at it. Just when I think about it.
