19 Men Go Shirtless And Share Their Body Image Struggles

The fruitless quest for a “perfect” body isn’t unique to women,  though based on the body image conversations we tend to hear, it’s easy to think so.

Spoiler alert: Men have body insecurities, too, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Just a little reminder that the US Military is the world’s biggest polluter.  The fight against ecological disaster must include fighting the war machine! 

This is Grga. Grga is six. He is a vibrant, beautiful child full of life. Grga is awesome.

Up until a few months ago, Grga was on top of the world. He had everything he needed in his life, he was happy and healthy. His family adored him, they still do, he had many friends, many wishes and wants. 

Everything changed in December of 2020. Grga was in a horrible, horrible accident. Horrible beyond words. Grga got crushed by an elevator. The media reported about every single detail of it, including how the firefighters who arrived to free him could hear his family’s screams from hundreds of meters away.

In a time where sensitivity was needed, a lot of people were insensitive. Fingers are being pointed, his story sensationalized, but his accident was just that - an unfortunate accident. 

It was a terrible shock to his loved ones. I can’t even begin to imagine how they felt while he was being reanimated in the back of an ambulance, clinging to life just barely on the way to the hospital.

Grga beat the odds and survived. But he’s not well. He’s not happy nor full of life anymore. He’s suffering and he’s having a hard time, though through it all, he has remained a fighter and a dreamer. His family too, they’re not giving up.

Grga needs our help.

The care he needs to be getting in order for him to make the best possible recovery is expensive and lengthy. Draining for everybody involved, but especially for him. That’s why I’m asking, no, begging you to share this post.

Share the link to his family’s GoGetFunding page, please.

Let us all help bring Grga one step closer to recovery. Let us all help him get him beat the odds once more. Grga needs us. Even if it’s just a share, it could get him and his family the exposure and the funds needed. Please, help.

Lost silent film with all-Native American cast found

The Daughter of Dawn, an 80-minute feature film, was shot in July of 1920 in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge near Lawton, southwest Oklahoma. It was unique in the annals of silent film (or talkies, for that matter) for having a cast of 300 Comanches and Kiowas who brought their own clothes, horses, tipis, everyday props and who told their story without a single reference to the United States Cavalry. It was a love story, a four-person star-crossed romance that ends with the two main characters together happily ever after. There are two buffalo hunt sequences with actual herds of buffalo being chased down by hunters on bareback just as they had done on the Plains 50 years earlier.

The male lead was played by White Parker; another featured female role was played by Wanada Parker. They were the son and daughter of the powerful Comanche chief Quanah Parker, the last of the free Plains Quahadi Comanche warriors. He never lost a battle to United States forces, but, his people sick and starving, he surrendered at Fort Sill in 1875. Quanah was the son of Comanche chief Peta Nocona and Cynthia Ann Parker, the daughter of Euro-American settlers who had grown up in the tribe after she was kidnapped as a child by the Comanches who killed her parents. She was the model for Stands With a Fist in Dances with Wolves.

You can watch the first ten minutes of the film here. It is over 90 years old, and was produced by, directed by, and stars only Native American people.
