A Swiss museum has returned two sacred artifacts to the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) confederacy.

The objects — a medicine mask and turtle rattle — had been in the possession of the Geneva Museum of Ethnography (MEG) for nearly 200 years.

Mohawk elder and activist Kenneth Deer was one of three men sent to retrieve the objects.

He says he was "surprised and thankful" for the museum's co-operation and called the MEG "progressive" for returning the objects without conditions or complications.

The museum held a ceremony in Geneva on Feb. 7 to mark the first time that the MEG returned a sacred object to its rightful owners. [...]

i wish that there was more time between the day of black sun and sozin's comet bc zuko's official desertion from the fire nation would have the most insane ripple effects (and it would be nice to see the gaang interacting a bit more than we got but hey i'll take what i can get)

zuko's desertion would have been essentially impossible for the fire nation to bury since it was such a big deal that he returned at all. so i imagine the smear campaign against zuko would have been craaazy. i think it would have been interesting for the gaang to try and deal with that when navigating the FN. zuko would be very recognisable i think at this point, and it would have made staying hidden much harder. would they still have chosen ember island? maybe the kids didn't recognise zuko and azula during The Beach , but with the prince of the fire nation committing treason would there be more wanted posters? would there be more talk around the island? would zuko have to remain hidden while the rest go out and get food?

i wonder if zuko deserting and very meaningly committing his loyalty to the avatar influenced other soldiers in the FN to also desert? or would it have had the opposite effect and made people feel more patriotic since zuko was banished, returned under the guise of having killed the avatar, and then left when aang announced his survival to world during the failed invasion?

SPEAKING OF THAT!! the rumours around this would be INSANE. we know what really happened, but the public don't. did zuko and the avatar plan this so that there would be an inside man during the invasion and then zuko used that chaos to escape? what really happened in ba sing se if zuko didn't kill aang, but azula thought that he did? (again: we, the audience know the truth, but the general public don't). if zuko and the avatar where working together... for how long? was iroh involved somehow since he also disappeared the same time that zuko did? did iroh get captured on purpose to be close to zuko to possibly help him if needed? did zuko break iroh out of jail or did one of the guards or was iroh alone? you could spiral on this as just an average person in the avatar world for years like. if youtube existed in atla imagine the video essays breaking down all the conspiracies

its a kids show so obviously Nothing Bad Happened BUT in the Boiling Rock, zuko getting found out as not only an imposter (already, a very bad situation), a traitor (extremely bad), AND the traitorous (ex) prince of the fire nation (devastatingly terrible) would have been... incredibly dangerous for zuko. in zuko and iroh's original wanted poster, the official translation says “Permission is granted to kill them on sight” and this was before zuko has gone right ahead and committed Treason On Purpose. the warden is not going to be nice. when the warden visits zuko in his cell he literally tells him "If these criminals found out who you are, the traitor prince who let his nation down, why they'd tear you to shreds." the boiling rock would be hell trying to survive. it also puts a lot more weight on zuko refusing to leave sokka in their first escape attempt. also ozai obviously knew that he has his son was in prison bc he... broke in to the prison bc azula was there but then zuko manages to escape with sokka (another imposter) and suki and hakoda (POWs) and chit sang (a prisoner) and two of azula's trusted friends end up in prison for treason as well i just. that is literally insane for the average person to hear about. again, THE CONSPIRACIES!!

when zuko eventually does take the throne there's a lot of conjecture around what zuko did while he was banished and moreso, what he did the second time he left, this time voluntarily. i think zuko's loyalty would be questioned a lot; by other world leaders who are understandably wary about the fire nation and its motivations, but also by its own people - some who believe that zuko is a traitor to his country and is trying to sabotage it since he helped end the war.

idk these are all just me rambling but it would been so interesting to explore the implications of zuko leaving the fire nation and how that would have impacted the gaang and how they interacted with others in their travels. there are so many fic where zuko joins the gaang early, but neither myself with the aus that I have written, nor many that ive read have explored this very much or at all.

#this is basically a thought stream #zuko #sokka #aang #katara #toph #the gaang #book 3 #i think that like.... zuko leaving would have been crazy. it should be the talk of the town! #the gossip mill would have been on OVERDRIVE #it also makes it so hard bc no one knows what the truth actually is #one day in court as fire lord one of the foreign dignitaries is like ummm fire lord is it true that you systematically #robbed upper class earth kingdom citizens to help fund local militia groups to take back land occupied by the fire nation #and like zuko is just sitting there like WHAT #zuko: yes i did rob people. #the foreign dignitary: 👁️👄👁️ #avatar the last airbender #atla #the boiling rock #the day of black sun #the firebending masters

Lula points the finger at developed nations in UN return

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Tuesday called on developed countries to step up efforts to fight inequality and climate change and criticized neoliberal economics and what he called the “far-right adventurers” that rise in their wake.

“The promise to allocate 100 USD billion dollars – annually – to developing countries”, a goal under the 2015 Paris Agreement, “remains just that, a promise,” Lula told the UN General Assembly in New York. Brazil is traditionally the first country to address the UN General Debate every September.

In line with his regular foreign policy talking points, Lula criticized legacy multilateral institutions, called for a reform in global governance, and stressed the role and relevance of organizations such as the BRICS alliance.

“When institutions reproduce inequalities, they are part of the problem, not the solution,” Lula said. “Last year, the IMF made USD 160 billion in special drawing rights available to European countries and just USD 34 billion to African countries.”

Don't make fun of any accents, ever, for any reason.

The person on the receiving end will most likely fall in at least one of three categories:

Second language

Regional accent

Speech impediment

1. Second language

This person is probably speaking in this language to you because either you don't speak their mother tongue or you speak it worse than they speak the language you are speaking. They are making an effort for you. An accent doesn't make you dumb.

Making fun of someone for attempting to communicate in another language is the height of assholery.

2. Regional accent

Half the time you make fun of regional accents, you make fun of historically disenfranchised accents.

Southern accents? Congrats you're making fun of the way rural, usually poor, people speak. Their speech was highly influenced by black people.

Don't even get me started on making fun of AAE.

Again, an accent doesn't make you any less intelligent.

3. Speech impediment

They know they have a speech impediment. They are probably trying very hard not to sound like that. It is literally not their fault. They have had to deal with people making fun of it their whole life.

A speech impediment doesn't make you less intelligent either.

#submission #manners #good manners #etiquette #politeness #courtesy #nationalism and xenophobia plays a pretty big role in the first one too #In the country I live in a lot of the nationalism and xenophobia specifically centers around language #For foreigners it's a lose / lose situation #If they speak the local language then locals will be rude to them for having an accent #But if they don't use the local language (since most locals born here are actually pretty multi-lingual) they get yelled at #and generally treated like garbage #@ nationalistic people in the country I live in: please choose #Either be patient and kind to people with an accent #or be willing to use English or Spanish or other languages #you can't just yell at foreigners who speak to you at all either with an accent or in a different language #and get mad that they just don't appear here with perfect native speaking abilities

I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with so much Iranian hate and drama <:[

oh anon. hate to break it to you (a lot of people make this mistake) but iran and iraq are two entirely separate nations.

and also i think reducing it to the words "hate and drama" kind of doesn't cover it, anon.

#i think if people were. just a little bit more informed. then maybe people would see that the people from this region are humans actually. #so anon. please. like... look at a map and do some reading maybe. if you care just a little. #i'm sorry anon but i'm a little bit at a loss for words over this message. like it rendered me speechless for a little. #but it's so common in my life that i've been called iranian and i constantly have to correct people on it. c'mon man. #i mean i have SO many iranian friends even though iraq and iran you know. aren't exactly bedfellows. politically. #but those politics don't really follow me. like in my day to day. iraqis and iranians in the uk of this generation. are again. #pretty divorced. #but it's kind of really frustrating that people Without Fail make this mistake over and over. #it's like how people just refer to “africa” as a whole. instead of recognising there are seperate nations there and. #it's not just a homogenous “other” #please. there are humans there. it's not just “foreign”. #i don't know if you're american anon but i see it a lot that anything outside of america is just “foreign” #and i mean #even as a brit. americans are constantly surprised i'm british because they forget anything exists outside of america. #i think it would be so so so so sexy of you anon to take a look at the globe tonight. give it a spin. #look at the world. it's so full and so beautiful and there are So Many Nations. #i'm going to look at my globe tonight too. i have a really cool old one. it spins so good. #and i'm going to pick some countries i don't know a lot about and do some reading about them. for funsies.

white supremacists genuinely have such stupid argument points but bc of their ignorance they can’t see it. they love saying things like “well would you prefer living in [significantly better off european country or very rich european region] or in [extremely impoverished african country]” and they genuinely believe the only possible reason you’d pick the significantly better off european country is bc u must also think deep down that black people are dangerous and inferior. in reality, and maybe they know this themselves, anyone would easily choose to live in a richer nation with more protections & opportunities than a poorer country. i would pick living in paris over living in minsk & it’s not bc i think ppl from minsk are more violent or sth but rather bc i think paris has more opportunities & protections. but many of them still think the fact that most african nations are poorer must be because africans are less advanced people, so they think pointing out these socioeconomic differences is agreeing with them somehow. if you point out that africans were exploited for hundreds of years and are STILL getting exploited in a way that ensures their countries do not develop as quickly, they start coming up with ridiculous excuses as to why african nations should against all odds manage to overcome the corruption they’re facing. they dehumanise people of colour so heavily that they can’t even imagine that perhaps we are affected by anything other than assumed racial inferiority

#btw i saw one of u (presumably a european based on the flags on her page) #say she would pick living in a nordic country over africa bc they wouldnt mutilate her genitals #and honestly u are playing into that same racism as that redberry person #u as a european woman in africa are extremely unlikely to suddenly face fgm by virtue of living in an african nation #fgm primarily exists in africa but it doesn’t mean every african country has fgm nor does it mean foreigners in african nations will face #fgm. especially not a random adult white woman

On March 4th, Concordia University is planning an event with their zionist lobby known as 'StartUp Nation' (the link in the video doesn't exist). This lobby was created on September 2023 according to their LinkedIn page, and its sole purpose is to 'bring Israel to campus' as they put it. During this stated event on March 4th, they will be bringing zionist occupation soldiers, yes the very same ones committing genocide right now, for a propaganda event. For a taste of what that will look like, from Aby Volco a self-admitted child killer:

Beyond the fact it's horrific that Concordia is inviting genocide-doers onto campus, it is doubly a problem as Concordia has a sizeable Palestinian student body, an even bigger Arab student body, and an even bigger Muslim one. This is an active threat to Concordia's students. If you're a Concordia student or not, you can email the faculty at the Concordia Uni, just send me an inbox message @el-shab-hussein and I'll send you a template depending on whether you're a ConU student or not. I will only exchange inbox messages privately for your privacy.
