The romanization of Hawai’i only tightens America’s grip on my people.

We are not the land of Lilo and Stitch. We are not a paradise.

We are a nation suffering.

There are only around 600,000 Native Hawaiians left. Only around 200,000 of them live in Hawai’i.

Hawai’i has the second largest homeless population in the nation, falling just behind New York. There are 19 million people in New York. Hawaii only has 1.4 million people. Yet their homeless rates are neck and neck. A majority of those experiencing homelessness in Hawai’i are Native Hawaiian.

Tourism destroys sacred land. Mountains are moved to make room for telescopes. People live in tiny concrete apartments that cost $2k a month because the rich move to the islands to carve their own paradise. My people spend every night praying we can afford to eat the next day

The Navy poisons the water over and over. They lie and say it’s safe. People fall ill. Then they dump the waste into the ocean and promise to do better. They lie.

End the romanization of Hawai’i. There is no paradise under American occupation.

What if, and hear me out, people DO love you

Your coworker who loves when they get to work a shift with you, even if you don’t talk

Your cousin who’s relieved when they see you at family gatherings, who thinks you’re “the cool cousin” but hasn’t said anything out loud

Your classmate who thinks you have great taste, even if they’re too shy to speak up about it in class

Your childhood friends who remember you fondly

The waiter you tipped during a busy night

That person you complimented on the street

The little kid you waved to

The old woman you made small talk with

People love you, because you’re lovable. And you’re worthy of love. Even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes

(Self depreciating comments will be removed at best, bluntly and remorselessly told to shut the fuck up at worst. Fuck around. I dare you.)

no i’m not gonna shut up about it.

I’ve been meaning to write this post since the first time I saw the movie (ergo, it feels like ages ago): Nile is so fucking smart.

Nile Freeman understood Booker betrayed Andy as soon as she saw Booker gave Andy an empty gun. She liked Booker, they talked a lot, Nile had more interactions with Booker than with Nicky and Joe (and she doesn’t really trust Andy until the end, when she realises Andy is still human and not a killing machine like it seemed in the church near Paris). Nile had every reason to trust Booker as much as she trusted Andy, instead she pieced together what happened in less than a minute because she remembered Booker gave Andy the gun. The viewer gets to see the scene again, the incriminating act, so it’s easier to understand that Booker, who acts and feels and is part of the family until that moment, is actually the mole (mole that no one even suspected existed). Nile just makes the connection and creates a plan of action that, if not very refined, it’s effective: go to the adress Booker found, follow the traces, find the others.

Nile adapts very quickly to an incredibly stressful situation. She is a trained marine, conditioned to fight and act in a certain way, yet in less than a week she changes her style of combat and exploits the fact that she can’t be killed to her advantage. She ignores her instincts and her brain telling her to avoid bullets and gets shot multiple times to get to Andy. The other had years, centuries to learn to exploit their unique talents, she got.. what, 48 hours? Impressive.

She puts herself in front of Andy to protect her without hesitation because she knows Andy is the most vulnerable of the team. When you see the group fighting, she doesn’t stand out as the “newbie” or “the baby” of the group. She is their equal.

And don’t get me started with how kind and compassionate Nile is. She saves the group because it’s the right thing to do, refuses to kill without remorse because she values human life; not only that, but she has the guts to confront Andy about it, knowing very well what the other is capable of. After everything Booker has done, Nile has the heart to understand where his actions come from and is more lenient to him than those who have known him for more than 200 years.

Bottom line: Nile is smart, kind, badass and incredible. Don’t sleep on her

Bonus:

Joe, an immortal warrior almost a millennium years old, is kind of impressed when he sees her yeeting herself and Merrick out of the window of a fucking skyscraper.
