“We both are in the middle, and nobody teases us for it.”

ICYMI: Kumu Hina, an indigenous Hawaiian hula teacher who identifies as mahu (”in the middle” when it comes to gender), comforts a transgender student in the trailer for the upcoming film A Place in the Middle. (via BuzzFeed)

This is an incredible mini-documentary, its 25 min out of your day but I seriously recommend watching it. Such a great story about recognizing the gender spectrum and de colonizing one’s history. Bawled my eyes out 10/10 would recommend. 

This is absolutely beautiful and Im deeply touched by this  little film, holy shit.
Its pure beauty.
everybody go watch

The Night Journey of Prophet Muhammad SAW (I put an explanation of artistic influences/design choices on this thread here on my twitter!) 

Sunnis r tryna tell me this is haraam, to which I can only say this: Not Every Muslim is A Conservative Sunni. I’m a Shi’a-Sufi Qalanderi and this is allowed in my sect. For more references, please look into art from the Islamic Golden Age, namely from Safavid Persia and Mughal Hindustan; you will find LOTS of depictions of the Prophet SAW, even ones with his face uncovered. Do not expect all Muslims to follow the exact same rules, unless u wanna b Saudi Arabia. Thanks n Salaam…

I think it’s time we all discuss our dependence on social media and internet addiction because it is, quite possibly, the most normalized unhealthy coping mechanism of them all and NO ONE wants to address it but corny banksy types. We’re critical adults we can discuss this. None of this is normal
