You will not eradicate us queer indigenous people, colonizers. Kiss my sweet native trans ass. #indigenous #LGBTQ Image
More on the struggle of us Native Hawaiians and LGBTQ+ people (especially we who are both) against the ongoing US genocidal occupation of Hawaii:
More on the US ban of Hawaiian language and culture, stealing of our land, imprisoning of our leaders, forced removal of our universal healthcare, housing, food security and socialist system, then erasure of the history and ongoing genocide in Hawaii:
The illegitimate US 'state' of Hawaii is trying to erase LGBTQ+ people and by extension our native Hawaiian culture as we speak. There are at least 5 anti-trans bills moving quickly. (After banning our language and culture and poisoning our water) EndUS illegal occupation. Image
The entire US 'state' of Hawaii is a fraud - the vast majority of Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiians) were against becoming a territory and then state of the US, but there US did a military coup, and later a sham referendum using US soldiers to rig the vote.

As a Native Hawaiian, I think Disney should cancel Moana, & stop stealing Hawaiian culture for profit. Also, end the $144 million Disney Aulani resort on our stolen land, & stop collaborating with the US military occupation that poisons our water, & banned our language & culture. Image
Disney & the rest of the exploitative US corporate entertainment industry should also stop abusing their writers, actors and other workers. Executives make tens of millions while writers have been skipping meals to get by. Image
We Native Hawaiians don't need Lilo & Stitch, or any American corp making billions plundering our culture, pushing Disney resorts, with underpaid writers. We need a sci-fi movie about the end of the genocidal US illegal occupation, written and produced by Native Hawaiians. Image

The US banned Hawaiian language, poisons our water, devastated our universal healthcare, overthrew our country, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school. The US is not a beacon, but the destroyer of independence.
Hawaii is a Disneyland-like resort built over our indigenous communities & ancestor's graves, made to do bastardizations of sacred dances, in 'sexy feather headresses' & entertain the rich tourists for starvation wages, 12 hrs a day 7 days a week, drinking jet fuel poisoned water ImageImageImageImage

US-occupied Hawaii is living sardine-packed 20-to-an-apartment next to methlabs, paying $3k / month, getting raped by Americans in tacky hotels, especially US soldiers. And then be arrested for speaking your own language, dying in prison, or of diabetes at age 39. ImageImageImageImage

The US banned Hawaiian language, poisons our water, invaded our country, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day, but speaks of 'supporting Taiwan independence'. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school, and we are punished TODAY for speaking Hawaiian.
We indigenous peoples of Hawaii, Taiwan, New Zealand, all the way to Madagascar share common origin, language & master wayfinding (Ho'okele). Nearly wiped out during Western colonization, my Hawaiian language & culture was banned by the US, & the the Dutch subjugated Taiwan. ImageImageImageImage
The Dutch brutally massacred both the indigenous & Han Chinese in Taiwan, & referred to the Chinese oppressed labor as 'worker bees, producing their honey.' In Hawaii, similar white-oligarch run sugar plantations exploited Hawaiian & Asian 'coolies' for capitalist profit. ImageImage

Neofeud is a game about my experiences growing up in Hawaii's ghetto, being a teacher for poor, homeless, refugees, mostly non-white kids in slums of Hawaii the tour buses avoid. 100% of sales go to keeping a roof over our kids' head & educating the world. silverspook.itch.io/neofeud

As the US tries to erase trans people, remember trans, non-binary & gender-fluid people are accepted in Hawaiian culture (i.e. mahu), & play vital roles in our resistance against colonization & US genocide of Hawaiians. Binary gender is a Western, imperial concept, forced on us. ImageImageImageImage
I often alter my own presentation. I'm in support of LGBTQ+ rights generally, but this is also about self-decolonization & reclamation of gender-fluid Hawaiian culture that was stolen from me. Hawaiian language was banned by the US, when I was born. Image
It's also important to remember the control of bodies & gender expression is integral to interlocking systems of white supremacy, patriarchy, & capitalism. Devaluation of certain genders & races over others allows devaluation of their labor - i.e. care work, 'unskilled jobs' etc. ImageImageImageImage
