WorldRugby Haka time at the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2017 semi-final

i like how they must have said to the white menbers at some point “yeah becky yall gon do this too get up we all have to learn”

Actually most New Zealanders (white and non white) learn this as children at school and with their friends. Like Kiwi culture’s really a mix of indigenous and non-indigenous elements so there’s not that much cultural segregation as you would have in the states

I’m white as a chicken and mayo sandwich and I learned two or three haka at school. If I’d joined the kapa haka group it would have been more and certainly wouldn’t have been the only white person doing so.

#also if I was the opposite team I would be “WELL WE ARE FUCKED :)”

That is 1000% the point of the Haka. Here’s a really good explanation of it.

I’ve never seen women doing the Haka before and holy shit I’m in love

I love it

You know what I love? When the team are experiencing/have experienced something pretty damn traumatic and Jack is there to comfort them with a reassuring touch to show that he’s there and it’s gonna be okay

I could go on and say so much about this, but if I had to make a guess about the main reason why Jack loves to show his compassion through physical contact and holding people, it might possibly, just possibly be because if he ever let go…

PSA to our followers this Autism Acceptance Month:

endangeredbodiesnyc:

  • Use Autism **Acceptance** Month (as opposed to Autism Awareness Month).
  • NO “light it up blue” or puzzle pieces. Google “Autism Speaks hate group” to learn more.
  • Use red or gold instead, which are colors supported by the autistic community.
  • Use identity-first language (most autistic people prefer “autistic” instead of “person with autism”), but don’t police the language of someone who prefers to be called a person with autism.
  • NO scare terms like “suffering with autism” or “afflicted with autism.”
  • Avoid functioning labels like “high functioning” or “low functioning.”
  • If autistic voices are not at the center of your efforts, you’re doing it wrong.
  • When in doubt, ASK AN AUTISTIC PERSON. 
  • To learn more about autism, visit autistic-run organizations like the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) and Autism Women’s Network (AWN).
