Gelderland gothic

Every time you visit the Veluwe you see the same old man with his sheep. The old man always has sheep, the sheep never die and the old man doesn’t ever age. You ask your Oma how long the old man has been there, she says he’s always been there and he’s always been old.

Everybody you know live in the same small house in a small village. Everybody has lived here for as long as they can remember. Their last name’s align with the village next to them, no one remembers why they left.

You walked around the Arnhem industrial centre too long, you’ll never find your way out again.

The wolves are back, back where? Don’t ask that question.

Everybody knows the German teacher at the school in your village. Everyone has always known her.

Every town has two churches, one is a church for Protestants and the other is for ghosts. The pews are never empty.

You ask your Oma why the farm fields are rustling, your Oma tells you to ignore it. Your Oma feeds the fields meat you can’t identify, the fields are satisfied. You are safe

The church is not safe, if you hear the voice of the dead priest lock yourself in the confessional.

It’s raining. It’s always raining. You can’t remember when it started raining.

“Vader why did we name a hill after the devil” “We are waiting”

Sometimes the river in the Betuwe talks to you, your mama will never let you respond “they will take you far away to the other country” she promises you

Everybody walks their dog in Solse Gat, we will always walk our dogs in Solse Gat. Nobody can remember why we aren’t supposed to walk the dog in Solse Gat. The old ladies from Putten watch you through the window, nobody lives in those houses.

There is a church and a school in the forest. Nobody knows which forest, nobody knows which school. The pious scream so loud you might find it anyway.

You go to a farm cafe. The old man with a scarred face asks you if you would like a table for four. You agree. You are the only person in the cafe.

Every hill here is called a mountain, you never correct anyone. They can hear you from the “mountains”

Don’t let yourself get too close to the sand drift in the Veluwe. The sand is hungry.

That town used to be a military town. It’s half empty, nobody lives there. It’s half full.

#an old trend but I don’t care #Gelderland #Dutch #NL #I’m from the Bible Belt so this might not make sense if your from one of the big cities or towns #my home village has three thousand people and two churches #Gelderse #Arnhem #Nijmegen #Netherlands #Nederland #🇳🇱#the Netherlands #Dutch gothic #gothic #gothic romanticism

@ all uquiz makers planning on asking me what my “ideal home” would look like. if you want a true actual answer out of me, this is going to have to be on the list

#i love venice and its islands because they’re everything i love about the netherlands but x10000000000000 #i took a picture of burano and it looks straight up like a picture i could have taken in the town i grew up with just with 3000% more colour #and a different style of architecture #but the vibe of like canal + row houses + random little alleys + small boat + random church spire is like every single dutch town also #and venice itself is just canals but MORE #alleyways but MORE #densely built but MORE #bridges but MORE #church spires peaking in and out of view but MORE #constant risk of flooding but MORE #museums and art and old shit everywhere but MORE #looks like a perfect picture storybook place like real people get to live here?? sounds fake but MORE!!!

In response to that post about Catholics believing Jesus was in Hell between Good Friday and Easter

This the Apostle's creed, the first and most agreed upon summary of Christian Faith, from before there was such thing as Catholic vs Orthodox, and later vs Protestant

Taken from the CRCna website (my denomination... so far.)

#Which stands for Christian Reformed Church of North America #Distinguished by its amount of old Dutch immigrants and its Calvinist theology #🐸

Karlshamn, Sweden (No. 2)

The settlement of Bodekull naturally took place on the flat area between the steep rocks east and west of town. The designer of the regular town plan for Karlshamn from 1666 is not known. This first map "Regulierung der Gassen in Bodekulla" shows 24 rectangular blocks of which one is open as a square. The main street "Drottninggatan" is parallel to the river and linear with the navigable inlet to the inner harbour. The grid expanded gradually during the 18th and 19th centuries. Later the town expanded over the meadows and hills to merge with the adjacent Asarum, a rural village north of town. Two old houses remain from the founding time at the square, one is "Asschierska huset" erected as town hall in 1682. The streets of the town was orderly lined with one-two storey buildings, generally a block was subdivided into ten lots on more posh streets and even smaller subdivisions in poorer parts of the town. The church was erected north of the square 1680–1702, the drawing being approved by Erik Dahlbergh. The separate belltower is from 1792. "Skottsbergska gården" is a courtyard shaped by a complete set of merchant buildings from 1766 open to visitors. During the early 19th century the merchants of the town experienced a boom which materialised in added storeys and more decorations on the facades. At the end of this century and the following years some public buildings were erected: the school at the southeast corner of the square inaugurated 1864, the girls school 1879 (now parish's meeting rooms) the navigation school 1863 (demolished), the hospital erected 1883 (now partly police post and music school) the Bodestorp folk school 1909, the "realskola" designed 1912-17 by architect Gunnar Asplund and his 1929 addition in modernist/"functionalist" style. 1900 the town hall eas erected south of the square replacing a wooden building. It was substantially expanded in 1990-95 by a series of additional buildings designed by Nyréns architects.

Juneteenth is a Black American holiday.

We call Juneteenth many things: Black Independence Day, Freedom Day, Emancipation Day, Jubilee Day. We celebrate and honor our ancestors.

December 31 is recognized as Watch Night or Freedom’s Eve in Black American churches because it marks the day our enslaved ancestors were awaiting news of their freedom going into 1863. On January 1, 1863, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. But all of the ancestors wouldn’t be freed until June 19, 1865 for those in Galveston, Texas and even January 23, 1866 for those in New Jersey (the last slave state). (It’s also worth noting that our people under the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations wouldn’t be freed until April 28, 1866 and June 14, 1866 for those under the Cherokee Nation by way of the Treaties.)

Since 1866, Black Americans in Texas have been commemorating the emancipation of our people by way of reading the Emancipation Proclamation and coming together to have parades, free festivities, and later on pageants. Thereafter, it spread to select states as an annual day of commemoration of our people in our homeland.

Here’s a short silent video filmed during the 1925 Juneteenth celebration in Beaumont, Texas:

youtube

(It’s also worth noting that the Mascogos tribe in Coahuila, Mexico celebrate Juneteenth over there as well. Quick history lesson: A total of 305,326 Africans were shipped to the US to be enslaved alongside of American Indians who were already or would become enslaved as prisoners of war, as well as those who stayed behind refusing to leave and walk the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma. In the United States, you were either enslaved under the English territories, the Dutch, the French, the Spanish, or under the Nations of what would called the Five “Civilized” Native American Tribes: Cherokee, Creek (Muscogee), Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminoles. Mascogos descend from the Seminoles who escaped slavery during the Seminole Wars, or the Gullah Wars that lasted for more than 100 years if you will, and then settled at El Nacimiento in 1852.)

We largely wave our red, white and blue flags on Juneteenth. These are the only colors that represent Juneteenth. But sometimes you may see others wave our Black American Heritage flag (red, black, and gold).

Juneteenth is a day of respect. It has nothing to do with Africa, diversity, inclusion, immigration, your Pan-African flag, your cashapps, nor your commerce businesses. It is not a day of “what about” isms. It is not a day to tap into your inner colonizer and attempt to wipe out our existence. That is ethnocide and anti-Black American. If you can’t attend a Black American (centered) event that’s filled with education on the day, our music, our food and other centered activities because it’s not centered around yours…that is a you problem. Respect our day for what and whom it stands for in our homeland.

Juneteenth flag creator: “Boston Ben” Haith

It was created in 1997. The red, white and blue colors represent the American flag. The five-point star represents the Lone State (Texas). The white burst around the star represents a nova, the beginning of a new star. The new beginning for Black Americans.

Black American Heritage Flag creators: Melvin Charles & Gleason T. Jackson

It was created in 1967, our Civil Rights era. The color black represents the ethnic pride for who we are. Red represents the blood shed for freedom, equality, justice and human dignity. Gold fig wreath represents intellect, prosperity, and peace. The sword represents the strength and authority exhibited by a Black culture that made many contributions to the world in mathematics, art, medicine, and physical science, heralding the contributions that Black Americans would make in these and other fields.

SN: While we’re talking about flags, I should note that Grace Wisher, a 13-year-old free Black girl from Baltimore helped stitched the Star Spangled flag, which would inspire the national anthem during her six years of service to Mary Pickersgill. I ain’t even gon hold you. I never looked too far into it, but she prob sewed that whole American flag her damn self. They love lying about history here until you start unearthing them old documents.

In conclusion, Juneteenth is a Black American holiday. Respect us and our ancestors.
