Jousting For Veterans: Texas Non-Profit Sticks it to The Man

The Sherwood Forest Faire, located in the quaint town of McDade, hosted an epic jousting tournament featuring the revered Knights of the Grail. Old white men in fancy costumes gather in Del Valley to resurrect medieval traditions and relive their glory days. Jousting horses clearly oppressed by their riders. No people of color present except for the poor souls serving mead and turkey legs. No crystals or meditation spaces either. If you're a true Austinite, skip the Sherwood shenanigans and take a stroll through our beloved Zilker Park instead. Also, consider adopting a rescue cat—they're the real knights in shining armor.

Blue Holes Are Colonized, Exploited for Profit.

White supremacy and systemic racism have denied marginalized communities equitable access to nature and recreational spaces, and resources like swimming holes. This private park contributes to these disparities by offering exclusive access for those who can afford daily and season passes. Communities of color deserve the same opportunities to enjoy nature without the burden of financial barriers.

'Star Wars' Day: White Male Franchise Celebrates Mass Cultural Appropriation. Thanks, Frank Herbert's 'Dune'

Frank Herbert, author of the acclaimed Dune series, threatened to sue George Lucas in 1977 for plagairizing the story and themes of his beloved novel. Given the obvious parallels between the two stories, Herbert had good reason to pursue legal action, but he ultimately decided against it. The white, male author likely knew that the system would support him and his intellectual property, but perhaps he should have pursued the case to stick it to the man and expose Hollywood's lack of originality. This is a prime example of the patriarchy protecting its own.

News headline: Colonizers Van Gogh, Monet invade sacred spaces

Colonialist projections of fragile Western masterpieces seek to entrap unwitting viewers, ensnaring them in a web of oppressive cultural hegemony. Van Gogh's Eurocentric gaze perpetuates a problematic narrative, his "Starry Night" and "Sunflowers" dominating the artistic canon, further marginalizing diverse voices and reinforcing colonial power dynamics.

NYT 25 best Austin restaurants is so whitewashed, straight-washed and vanilla.

Of NYT's top 25 restaurants in Austin, over half are BBQ or Mexican. Texas is known for its BBQ and Mexican food because white colonizers took the land from the Indigenous Karankawa and Tonkawa people and then pulled a cultural bait-and-switch. Later, white settlers violently expelled Black and Mexican residents twice—they were cheap sources of labor for building railroads and other infrastructure, yet easily scapegoated and dispensable.
