Here’s a thread on contemporary circumpolar Inuit art and media if you want to become more acquainted:
First off, Tristan Agnauraq Morgan (@tristan_jpg) is one of the most innovative Inuit artists alive right now, she is Iñupiat and her family is from Wainwright, AK

tristanmorganart.com
I SING. YOU DANCE. is an excellent YouTube channel by Yup’ik artist Byron Nicholai (@byronnicholai) where he does sings traditional and modern Yup’ik songs, often accompanied by yuraq, Yup’ik dancing

ATANARJUAT: THE FAST RUNNER (2001) is a film based on a traditional Inuit tale, directed by Zacharias Kunuk, and it is the first Canadian film to win the Caméra d’Or and Cannes and voted the best Canadian film of all time at TIFF in 2015

ANGRY INUK (2016), is an award winning documentary film directed by Alethea Arnaquq-Baril (@Alethea_Aggiuq) that describes the how seal hunting is central to Inuit life, in all its forms from ‘traditional’ to ‘commercial’

KISIMA INŊITCHUŊA: NEVER ALONE (2014) is a video game developed by Upper One Games and based on a traditional Iñupiat story, told through Iñupiat storytellers

Joan Naviyuk Kane (@eskimoment) (or Shareholder Kane as she’s known in the corporation) is one of my favorite poets, she is Iñupiat from King Island and Mary’s Igloo

Her most recent publication is the chapbook SUBLINGUAL which will ship on Nov. 2nd

Another amazing Iñupiat artist is Allison Akootchook Warden from Fairbanks and Kaktovik, who does pretty much everything including poetry, hip hop, performance art, and so on

Pamyua is a Yupiit-Greenlandic musical group that makes contemporary Inuit music and dance (and low-key stole one of my grandfather’s songs)

Of course I almost forgot Tanya Tagaq (@tagaq) the Polaris Prize winning singer and author from Cambridge Bay, Canada whose novel SPLIT TOOTH is just a few days from being released:

ANAANA’S TENT (@anaanastent) is a recently launched TV show for preschoolers hosted by folk-pop artist Riit entirely in Inuktitut

How Avatar: The Last Airbender took Inuit culture to create the Southern and Northern Water Tribes: A thread
The Inuit* are a nation of many communities in Arctic & Subarctic regions in Russia, the US, Canada, & Greenland and totalling about 170,000 people

The N/S Water Tribes are positioned similarly in the world of Avatar, on the coldest extremes
The creators of Avatar have openly admitted to basing the Water Tribes after Inuit, though the association is clear as demonstrated by these hair loopies:

Here’s a #thread about #judges and #judges’ opinions. I don’t want to name names. I’m hoping Twitterland will get the word out. It’s important, to that small audience at least. It’s about a lack of awareness and humility 1/
So there’s this emerging cadre of judges who write opinions that seem clever and erudite and get some adoring attention. But here’s the thing. At a conference of pretty bright academics of various persuasions and we have two things we seem to all think about those opinions 2/
The first is a little catty; the second is deadly serious. They both matter. (And I’m not naming names of judges or academics but you know who you are.) 3/

#Thread: Rough translation on Rajini's recent statement on RMM activities.

I'd like to clarify the false rumors stating RMM works are happening without my permission. All activities regarding RMM are happening with my knowledge & permission.

#RajinikanthPoliticalRevolution
Already by last year May month, I said that "I won't allow people near me who have thoughts of getting posts & earning money when I enter politics. So, those people stay away right now."

#RajinikanthPoliticalRevolution #Thread #Rajinikanth
Didn't say it for word-sake. We are entering politics to bring out a new political culture for a good political change. If we've to do politics like others, why should we enter politics?

Here are my favorite quotes from this amazing book. #THREAD
1. "Bitcoin can be best understood as distributed software that allows for transfer of value using a currency protected from unexpected inflation without relying on trusted third parties"
2. "While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problems it purports to solve - namely, providing a form of money that is under the full command of its owner and likely to hold its value in the long run - are as old as human society itself"
