"The controversy at New Trier and the divisions it triggered in the community may seem familiar now. But the conflict didn’t take place in the volatile pandemic years when efforts to boost equity and diversity, teach comprehensive history, and implement pandemic-related health measures in schools sparked outrage from concerned parents and culture wars enthusiasts. It happened in early 2017, about a month after former President Donald Trump took office."

Thank you very much for publishing this!

The text discusses very well the fine line between using the concept of cultural appropriation to fight racist/colonialist mindsets, but not falling into corrosive infights that weaken us as a movement.

#CulturalAppropriation and #commodification go hand in hand, becauseit the culture and societies most inclined to commodify are also the ones most inclined to engage in cultural appropriation.

Thankful for any examples that prove that wrong.

Following yoga related soc. media is painful for the reason of having to witness a rise in costly retreats across the Global South; increasingly accompanied with #greenwashing, everything from "responsible" business and tourism to "green" this and that.

"This appetite for money and fame on the part of Western writers in ironic in its use of the windigo as a featured monster in horror, as it depicts a similar selfishness as that in #NativeAmerican stories of the windigo. The popularization of windigo in horror genres involves capitalistic gain on the part of Western writers, and the cultural owners of windigo spirits are left with nothing but stigmatization, misunderstanding, and stereotypes."

Just call it smoke cleansing! Garden sage (which is easy to grow at home) or rosemary are both herbs that smell good when burned.
