Felling that felling that makes us want to go out and create something true and new, just to entertain ourselves.

Yeah, I did notice the absence of PoC. Still, this is an awesome idea. It would be super fun while on LSD.
It’s a holy festival dude. Not for drugs, not for people who aint Hindu.
And this is why we can’t have nice things. Because of entitled brats who think it’s all theirs, all the time, just for the having, in any way they like.
It particularly hurts in the case of Holi, which is a festival I would LIKE to share with others; but when so many of them think “share” means “grab and mangle”, it’s just not possible.
It’s like if I bake a cake, and there’s no fun in eating cake alone, and I want to share it with some friends, and some stranger waltzes in, goes OH HEY CAKE THAT WOULD BE AWESOME WITH LSD, smooshes their fist into it, grabs a handful while reducing the rest to a mess, and smears it all over their face, and goes “Well you were going to share, right?”
It just gets to the point where it’s less painful not to have cake.
^This is an excellent metaphor.
Ha, agreed, great analogy.
It’s not like they couldn’t have gotten away with just calling it a paint fight or something but noooo it’s not *fun* and *quirky* and *free-spirited* unless they’re appropriating
fucking boring douchey white people
no fuck it i am reblogging this again and with hate
seriously what the fuck is up with white people and their creepy habit of stealing aspects of our faith and culture and then turn it into drug induced bullshit
you don’t give a shit about Hindus when we want more presence in society
you laugh at us and belittle us when we talk about want some more public acknowledgement of our faith
you don’t allow us to facilitate spaces where we can understand our own faith
you’re not there for us when we’re discriminated against
you think we’re irrelevant when it comes to discussions on religion and philosophy
but no
no
when shit looks bright and shiny to your pasty vision of the world, you fucking steal and disrespect it
fuck you
all of you
oh…my…god
