Does anyone have that anon accusing someone of fetishising trans men because he, a trans man, kept drawing them?

It was infact the same man

Clickbaitcowboy has been through too much 😔

You can’t convince me that games like this, hopscotch and skipping rhymes, aren’t some sort of spell. It’s like witchcraft 101 for all the little girls out there

Yao dancers, Lianzhou, Guangdong Province, Southern China:

Deng Yingfa Yao Culture Teacher:

“Our culture is very precious. And for example, the dances and songs we sing don’t have scores, they can only be passed down by word of mouth, to the next generation. It’s important for the young to know them, before these arts are known by others.”

Wow, I didn’t know cultures other than in the Philippines did dances with bamboo poles, that’s awesome!

In the Philippines, there are two main dances involving bamboo poles. One is the singkil, which depicts a story from the Maranao epic poem Darangen. In the story, a princess and her attendants get abducted and a prince goes to save them. The bamboo poles represent the various challenges they had to get through. Here’s an example:

The other one is the Tinikling, which has more rural post Spanish colonization roots, and it’s often staged as a town festival where the dancers attempt increasingly fast and complicated moves to wow the crowd.

I’ve also seen more modern adaptations of Filipino dances, here’s one for the Tinikling - it makes me happy to see our historical dances integrated to present day!

oh thank GOD tumblr did its thing. I saw a reposted uncredited video on tiktok and did some googling only to discover that a lot of cultures have variations on this, and I wanted to learn a lot more! it’s so nice to see the comments here.

There’s also the Cheraw dance from Mizoram, a state in India. I’m not from this part of India and don’t know much about it so hopefully someone else can add on.

This is like our Sword Dancing in Scotland!
