The Thenns and Garth the Green could indicate that, before the Andals, the First Men were organized under God-Kings/Priest-Kings. Do you think this is a valid theory? What exactly would be the functional differences between a standard feudal rule and a rule by a God-King/Priest-King?
Yes, I think that's a valid theory.
As to the functional differences, we're talking a wildly different ideological framework (this is a major reason why I think people who claim that there's been stagnation in Weasteros are wrong): in the feudal context, the right to rule is ultimately founded on reciprocal contracts - I give you land, you give me military service. In the context of a priest-king or god-king, the right to rule ultimately flows from the Divine itself, either through communion with the gods (in the case of the priest-king) or by being a god or god's descendant (in the case of the god-king king).
Tumblr media
This has a pretty profound significance for the functioning of the state, because it means that the state takes on critical aspects of religious responsibility as well as authority. The priest-king/god-king is responsible for carrying out the rituals and ceremonies that propitiate the gods, that foretell good or bad fortune in the coming harvest, and that unites the polity as one community of believers.
If you believe the tradition of James George Frazier and Robert Graves, there is also a strong sacrificial element to so-called "sacred kingship." While the land prospers, the harvests are plentiful, and the people are content, the sacred king rules unquestioned, but when winter comes and the land is visited by disease or famine or drought, the harvests fail, and the people are riven with discontent, then the sacred king has to die (at the hands of the new king, who is also the old king, it gets very mystical) so that the land can be renewed.
So yeah, bit of a difference between Gilgamesh of Uruk and, say, Edward IV of York. One might even say there's been cultural change and development over time...

Pictured above- Call Me Mrs. Mary E. Pleasant: The Midas Touch by L'Merchie Frazier- a portrait of entrepreneur, civil rights activist and benefactor, Mary Ellen Pleasant who made a name and a fortune for herself in Gold Rush era San Francisco. Her timeline from 1814 to 1904 begins in racial slavery as an indentured servant girl with no formal education. She ascended to a self-made millionaire, amassing a fortune in her lifetime of over $30 million, ($900 million today).
The second image is A Good Soldier: Thomas C. Fleming, America's Longest Serving Black Journalist by Rosy Petri- At the time of his retirement in 1997, California journalist Thomas C. Fleming was the nation's oldest Black journalist with the longest consecutive period of publication.
Both of these quilts are from Black Pioneers: Legacy in the American West at The James Museum of Western and Wildlife Art. Organized by historian, artist, and curator Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi, it includes 50 pictorial quilts created by members of Women of Color Quilters Network, a group founded by Mazloomi in 1985.
Mazloomi's statement at the exhibition entrance-
American history is incomplete without the stories of African American men and women, from our enslaved ancestors to our societal challenges. The role of African Americans in the movement toward westward expansion has been largely overlooked. This exhibition of original pictorial quilts brings into focus the rich and diverse stories and achievements of Blacks in American western history. The timeline begins with Esteban's 1528 arrival in the West and continues through the Civil Rights Movement.
At the end of Reconstruction in the South, discrimination and segregation caused African Americans to seek opportunities where there was less prejudice. In the 1800s, they moved by the thousands to the American West. Some went West as slaves, while free African American men joined the United States Army or became ranch hands, fur traders, cowboys, or miners.
Why quilts? Quilts and quilt making are important to American, and Black culture in particular. The art form was historically one of the few mediums accessible to marginalized groups to tell their own story, to provide warmth for their families, and to empower them with a voice through cloth. Using quilts to tell these stories accentuates the intersections of African Americans in the Western frontier while at once informing about the art form and its role in Black history. It is this often unknown and underappreciated shared reality that must be voiced if we are ever to truly value the unique contributions diverse groups make to the fabric of our nation.
The impressive quilts on view educate viewers with stories of individuals and events in African American history that may not have previously been familiar, and present new perspectives on those that are. It's a wonderful way to utilize a visual medium to captivate, inform, and often inspire.
This exhibition closes on 1/8/2023.

Fall into the calm violet. Know your audience when they are kkk police. Etc. those aren’t free creatures.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So then who’s your daddy?
In order to help police officers, who are being bullied by superiors, you have to know who the fuck is sucking their life up
Said fucking.
Anyway, it’s not Mark. That’s just his little joke so that he can say I am you now.
Because he didn’t have any sophistication before that he’s a Kentucky boy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh God, so that idiot cop from the other day clearly that’s more satire…
I believe you were gonna tell me how you justify the KKK right about as you threw me down a flight of stairs
I’m quite a big deal though everybody knows who I am so if something happens to me, everybody knows some people aren’t really very special and if anything happens to those guys because they decided to be part of the KKK and her children and animals and of course the women that you can’t stop beating
These are crimes of course you will pay
You probably are paying but it’s not done yet. I’m not done yet and you will respect the boundaries of these medical doctors. Also officers, it would be really bad for your entire lives if you did not.
It’s a mixed bag because some medical doctors are scumbags
Some medical doctors are good at what they do, and that’s where things get very dicey because we do have a federal investigation going on a lot of these cops. They are going to a place darker than hell.
They don’t report on that in people magazine when the cops believe the doctors, for example
Oh, I said bully
Lord only knows what did you tell them this time

2021 Grand Prix France entry #18
Pairs free program
Ghilardi/Ambrosini(ITA)
Thoughts: Rebecca has these gorgeous hands. And I liked her earrings. The choreography here was really unique as well.
Knierim/Frazier(USA)
Thoughts: That royal blue color looks so good Alexa. But poor Brandon almost knocked his head into the boards.
James/Radford(CAN)
Thoughts: I like that teal color on Vanessa. Is Eric’s hair turning gray?! No thank you.
Artemeva/Nazarychev(RUS)
Thoughts: How quickly Julia has become one of my favorite pairs women to watch. That last lift was very shaky. The landing on the throw triple flip wasn’t the cleanest either.
Boikova/Kozlovski(RUS)
Thoughts: I think this is the first outfit from Dmitri that I actually like. Death spiral was awkward looking. My favorite death spiral actually came from the Italians. The landing on Alexandra’s triple sal. She had to pull her leg in real fast so her foot didn’t go into the wall.

xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017)
Tumblr media
People love the Fast & Furious franchise, but without a roster of characters who can stand on their own, audiences are left waiting for years between movies! If only there was some way to see Vin Diesel driving something fast more frequently… Lo and behold! The stars have aligned and created the perfect environment for some executive to bring back the xXx franchise from oblivion. We’re talking about xXx: The Return of Xander Cage!
When “Pandora’s Box” - a device which allows anyone holding it to hack into any satellite, spy on anyone and send the orbiting chunks of metal crashing down on Earth - is stolen and Augustus Gibson (Samuel L. Jackson) killed, Xander Cage (Vin Diesel), whose death was grossly exaggerated (see xXx: State of the Union) returns to action. Assembling his own team of experts – sniper Adele Wolff (Ruby Rose), driver Tennyson “The Torch” (Rory McCann) and DJ (?!) Nicks (Kris Wu), it’s up to the former motocross celebrity to save the world from terrorist Xiang (Donnie Yen) and his associates (Deepika Padukone, Tony Jaa and Michael Bisping).
This film is trying so hard to cash in on Diesel’s Dom Toretto character it’s actually amusing. It’s not about “family”; it’s “X takes care of its own”. Like F&F, this series is moving away from its roots and instead focussing on a roster of multicultural specialists. Well, except for the driver, who is actually kind of terrible at his job and secretly hoping he will get to his 200th crash by the time the film is over, and the DJ, who does little in the end. They kind of suck. The other characters, however, are amusing. They’re all trying way too hard to be cool. Cage’s first scene has him skiing down the branches of jungle trees (cause that’s what you do when you’ve got mountain Dew flowing through your veins and you eat nothing but Doritos all day) and it only gets crazier from there when spy vehicles are deployed (at least I think those were supposed to be spy vehicles, otherwise that just makes NO SENSE), satelites are sent plummeting down, grenades get tossed, bad Russians get shot in the head and bootylicious babes rub their bodies all over Cage. It’s a teenager’s idea of “Awesome” brought to life, in a way that reminds you of Sucker Punch but without the greasy subtext or the pretension. This film is so dumb you sit back, mouth agape.
It’s as if director D.J. Caruso and writer F. Scott Frazier heard people’s complaints about the second film, about how it was worse by trying to be smarter. To compensate, they decided to make the dumbest action film they could. While you’ll be laughing at the picture's expense, don't be surprised if you find a few legitimately good things about it. The characters who aren’t wasted or useless have some nice moments and the picture is self-aware enough to know what kind of nonsense you want to see. When it delivers, it does it in spades. xXx: The Return of Xander Cage is dumb, but I say it’s dumb fun. (November 2, 2018)

Coaster -
The Coaster social strategy includes players who often have little effect on the game or attach themselves to a stronger player to get to the end. These players often have little understanding of the game and tend to do very poorly in competitions, unlike Floaters, Coasters typically remain with one alliance throughout the game. Houseguests vary from ability and age. Some coasters win competitions Victoria Rafaeli Atash* won a Veto by some luck in week 4 of BB16 and Meg Maley Holloway** won a Battle of the Block in week 3 and some coasters don’t win competitions for example Derek Frazier and Alyssa Snider. Ironically, Rachel Reilly Villegas*** got the category of Kristen Bitting’s gameplay wrong by calling her a floater and not a coaster.****
*Victoria went by Victoria Rafaeli at the time
**Meg went by Meg Maley at the time
***Rachel went by Rachel Reilly at the time
****Rachel this is what Kristen was in BB12

The Unofficial Black History Book
Huey P. Newton (1942-1989)

'The Revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.' - Huey Newton
This is his story.
Huey Percy Newton was born on February 17th, 1942, in Monroe, Louisiana. The youngest of seven children to Armelia Johnson and Walter Newton, he was named after former Governor of Louisiana, Huey Long.
His family relocated to Oakland, California, in search of better economic opportunities in 1945. His family struggled financially and frequently relocated, but he never went hungry or homeless.
Growing up in Oakland, Newton recalled his white teachers making him feel ashamed for being African-American, despite never being taught anything useful. In his Autobiography, ‘Revolutionary Suicide’, he wrote – “Was made to feel ashamed of being black. During those long years in Oakland Public Schools, I did not have one teacher who taught me anything relevant to my own life or experience. Not one instructor ever awoke in me a desire to learn more or to question or to explore the worlds of literature, science, and history. All they did was try to rob me of the sense of my own uniqueness and worth, and in the process nearly killed my urge to inquire.” 
He also had a troubled childhood; he was arrested several times as a teenager for gun possession and vandalism.
Huey was illiterate when he graduated from high school, but he taught himself to read and write by studying poetry before enrolling at Merritt College. 
During his time there, he supported himself by breaking into homes in Oakland and Berkeley Hills and committing other minor offenses. He also attended Oakland College and San Francisco Law School, ostensibly to improve his criminal skills.
He joined Pi Beta Sigma Fraternity while still a student at Merritt College and met Bobby Seale, a political activist and engineer. Huey also fought for curriculum diversification, the hiring of more black instructors, and involvement in local political activities in the Bay Area. 
In addition, he was exposed to a rising tide of Black Nationalism and briefly joined the Afro-American Association, where he studied Frantz Fanon, Che Guevara, Mao Zedong, E. Franklin Frazier, James Baldwin, Karl Marx, and Vladimir Lenin.
Huey had adopted a Marxist/Leninist viewpoint in which he saw the black community as an internal colony ruled by outside forces such as white businessmen, City Hall, and the police. In October 1966, he and Bobby Seale founded The Black Panther Party for self-defense, believing that the black working class needed to seize control of the institutions that most affected their community.
It was a coin toss that resulted in Newton becoming defense minister and Seale becoming chairman of the Black Panther Party. Newton’s job as the Minister of Defense and main leader of the Black Panther Party was to write in the Ten-Point Program, the founding document of the Party, and he demanded that blacks need the “Power to determine the destiny of our Black Community”. It would allow blacks to gain “Land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice, and peace.”
The Panthers took advantage of a California law allowing people to carry non-concealed weapons and established armed patrols that monitored police activity in the Black Community. 
One of the main points of focus for the Black Panther Party was the right to self-defense. Newton believed and preached that sometimes violence, or even the threat of violence, is required to achieve one's goals. 
Members of the Black Panther Party once stormed the California Legislature while fully armed in order to protest the outcome of a gun bill.
Newton also established the Free Breakfast for Children Program, martial arts training for teenagers, and educational programs for children from low-income families. 
The Black Panthers believed that in the Black struggle for justice, violence or the potential for violence may be necessary.
 The Black Panthers had chapters in several major cities and over 2,000 members. Members became involved in several shoot-outs after being harassed by police.
On October 28, 1967, the Panthers and the police exchanged gunfire in Oakland. Huey was injured in the crossfire, and while recovering in the hospital, he was charged with killing an Oakland police officer, John Frey. 
He was convicted of voluntary manslaughter the following year.
Huey was regarded as a political prisoner, and the Panthers organized a 'Free Huey' campaign led by Panther Party Minister Eldridge Cleaver. And Charles R. Geary, a well-known attorney who was in charge of Newton’s legal defense.
Newton was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter in 1968 and sentenced to 2-15 years in prison. However, the California Appellate Court ordered a new trial in May 1970. The conviction was reversed on appeal, the case was dismissed by the California Supreme Court, and Huey was acquitted.
Huey renounced political violence after being released from prison. Over a six-year period, 24 Black Panther members were killed in gunfights with the police. Another member, George Jackson, was killed in August 1971 while serving time in San Quentin Prison.
The Black Panther Party, under the leadership of Newton, gained international support. This was most evident in 1970 when Newton was invited to visit China. Large crowds greeted him enthusiastically, holding copies of "Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung," as well as signs supporting the Panther Party and criticizing US imperialism.
In the early 1970s, Newton's leadership of the Black Panther Party contributed to its demise. He oversaw a number of purges of Party members, the most famous of which was in 1971 when he expelled Eldridge Cleaver in what became known as the Newton-Cleaver split over the party's primary function.
Newton wanted the party to be solely focused on serving African-American communities, whereas Cleaver believed the party should be focused on developing relationships with international revolutionary movements. The schism resulted in violence between the factions and the deaths of several Black Panther members. The Black Guerrilla Family (BGF) was one of several factions that had broken away from the main party.
Then, in 1974, Newton was accused of assaulting a 17-year-old prostitute named Kathleen Smith, who later died, raising the charge to murder. Instead of facing trial, Huey fled to Cuba with his girlfriend at the time, where he remained for three years. The key witness in the trial was Crystal Gray. And three Black Panther members attempted to assassinate her before she gave her testimony.
Huey returned to the States in 1976 to stand trial but denied any involvement. The jury was deadlocked, and Newton was eventually acquitted after two mistrials.
In 1978, he enrolled in the History of Consciousness program at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and earned his Doctorate in 1980.
"War Against the Panthers: A Study of Repression in America," his dissertation, was later turned into a book.
On charges of embezzling Panther Party funds, Huey P. Newton was sentenced to 6 months in prison followed by 18 months on probation in 1982.
On August 22, 1989, Newton was assassinated by a member of the BGF, named Tyrone Robinson.
Huey was 46 years old at the time of his assassination. Robinson was convicted of Huey’s murder in 1991 and sentenced to 32 years to life in prison. 
His wife, Fredricka Newton, carried on his legacy. 'Revolutionary Suicide,' his autobiography, was first published in 1973 and then republished in 1995.
Huey Newton was not perfect, but he did fight to protect the rights of the Black Community. The rights that we're still fighting for today.

On this day, 12 January 1865, a key meeting took place with Black leaders in Savannah, Georgia, in which the infamous "40 acres and a mule" plan was devised during the US civil war. Union general William Sherman met with 20 Southern Black ministers, including James Lynch and Garrison Frazier, to think of ways to help defeat the Confederacy. The ministers stated that giving land which Black people could farm themselves would be key. Four days later, Sherman issued his Special Field Order No. 15, agreed by President Abraham Lincoln, which ordered the seizure of 400,000 acres of land from Confederate landowners, to be given in 40 acre lots to freed Black families. Sherman later ordered that the army could lend mules to the families. In the wake of the order, occupations of land by Black families increased as they took matters into their own hands, farming it and governing themselves. But the order was reversed by the next president, the white supremacist, former enslaver and Confederate sympathiser Andrew Johnson. Johnson, who wrote “This is a country for white men, and by God, as long as I am President, it shall be a government for white men", ordered that the land should be returned to its former owners: the men who had declared war on the United States. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/2185044908347314/?type=3

dear Americans
The Ku Klux Klan is estimated to have lynched more than 4,400 people just between the civil war and 1940. They are terrorists, and they are American.
Omar Mateen killed 49 people and wounded 53 more in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, FL in 2016. he was born in New York. He was a terrorist, and he was American.
Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols drove a truck full of explosives to a government building in Oklahoma City in 1995. The resulting explosion killed 168 people and injured 680 more. They are terrorists, and they are American. In 1921, the United States fucking government armed white supremacists and basically hired them to massacre Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We still don't have exact numbers of the dead and injured, but we know it's at least 39 dead and more than 800 injured. The perpetrators were terrorists, and they were American.
Wade Michael Page: 6 dead.
Frazier Glenn Miller: 3 dead.
Dylann Roof: 9 dead.
James Alex Fields: 1 dead.
Patrick Crusius: 23 dead.
Payton Gendron: 10 dead.
John Allen Williams: 17 dead.
All terrorists, and all Americans.
If you honestly fucking believe that sharing a country with terrorists makes you and everyone you've ever known deserving of death, and use this logic to justify the genocide of Palestinians...
Feel free to put your money where your mouth is and go first.
Even if you believe every single member of Hamas is on par with the KKK, which just factually is not true, you still have no fucking ground to stand on. Shut up.
