Ask not for whom the 300-year-old chipotle is photographed

It is photographed for thee

(also, I would like to respond briefly to someone who commented on the other post I made featuring the 300 year old chipotle, and Who seemed to think that I was entirely opposed to the idea. While I wish the building was still a bookstore, as it was for many years between being a publisher’s office and being a chipotle, the choice was basically between a chipotle and a parking garage. Meaning, the only way the building stays standing is because it’s rented out to businesses. so all things considered, I’m pretty happy to have the chipotle there for the moment)

The fireplace and Dutch oven in the kitchen (at the back of the basement) in the Old Merchant's House, 29 E. 4th Street on April 5, 1954. The kettle, with a swinging arm, was still in usable condition. The small, square opening to the left of the fireplace is the Dutch oven.

The Old Merchant's House, built in 1832 and now the Merchant House Museum, still stands and is open to visitors. Below is a spread from a 1944 issue of House & Garden about the historic house. Click/tap to enlarge.

Pretty much nailed it

youtube

This video explain perfectly how, what the Zionists call, the ”Israeli culture” is just them stealing elements from real Arab cultures and claiming that they are theirs. I’m not saying that cultures don’t implement things from other ones, that has happened in the past many times and it’s still happening today as we speak, but those implementations happened naturally and they were not done with the intention of creating a new culture.

Even if you’re not familiar with the methods of studying a culture(sorry for using the word over and over again) you can still tell that this knockoff is completely fabricated and not ancient like the Israeli claims it to be. I mean, dammi yehudi is just the Israeli stealing dammi falastini and trying to make it more marketable, like how Disney did with wish and we all know how that turned out. It’s not even a good ripoff! I’m not a musician, but I can tell that the songs have different intents and different feelings to them. “My blood is Palestinian” is filled with emotions of joy and pride in both the lyrics and notes of the instruments. “My blood is Jewish”, you would not believe my reaction when I listened to it. It was so SOULLESS!!! I kid you not, I could not stop laughing at how bad it was.

Also, if they intend to fabricate their own narrative about their “ancient history”, they do realize that they also have to erase any historical records of the region from other countries history too, right? We don’t just research one region’s history, we also research other regions history too so that we know how they viewed it. And from my own research of Palestine and the history of Jews in general, there is a lot of evidence and accounts that the Zionists have to either alter or erase to fit their narrative.

You just can’t fool people who know their history with this poorly disguised identity theft.

I know this is a long shot, but are there any historians or history graduate students willing to help me with my paper? It’s historiography and I just want opinions on that chapter of my thesis. I have no one to turn to, sadly, and the professor in charge hasn’t talked to me in months. :)/s

I’ll trade you something for your time.

If anyone is willing to reblog this for visibility, that would mean so much. I have no one to ask for help from so I’m desperate!

I found some old Terror Tracks CD ROMs (audio choose your own adventures) from my days at TSR in the 90s. These were quaint attempts at innovating new storytelling formats. I soon realized for all its new technological innovation in the day, I had no device to play the damned discs in my home and that the only way to listen to them was in the old car. Today the challenges faced by libraries and archives to collect and preserve our digital-only culture are real and ever growing. Many digital formats are already inaccessible – webpages, floppy disks, even smartphone apps that are no longer supported. Can libraries and archives store a WebToon as a PDF? Should they? So many questions... but this is a great interview to get a sense of the issues.

"There are a lot of digital publications that are published in a more standardised format that we know we can collect at scale. But there are a lot more publications, which sometimes can be interpreted as games or sometimes are defined as electronic literature, that are all part of the current UK publishing landscape. They’re very much things that we want to preserve for future generations." ~ Giulia Carla Rossi, Digital curator and British Library’s head of digital publications

Since 1973 the Stadtzürcher Heimatschutzbund takes a stand for the conservation and maintenance of historically valuable buildings, gardens and urban plannings in Zurich, Switzerland. As an independent association under private it takes a stand against the excesses of capital-driven, short-sighted interventions in the grown urban fabric and thanks to Swiss legislation is also allowed to file complaints: in consultation with the Zürcher Heimatschutz, the local authority for the protection of monuments, the organization is allowed to have a say in Zurich’s building projects. And in this capacity the Heimatschutzbund seeks to shape a sustainable, vivid and livable city.

On the occasion of its 50th anniversary the association takes a look back at its achievements but also on the manifold losses the urban fabric of Zurich had to sustain: „Baukultur erhalten. Urbane Qualität schaffen - Stadtzürcher Heimatschutz 1973–2023“, published recently by Triest Verlag, is a compendium of history and present. After a brief retrospective the book focuses on exemplary, successful projects that illustrate the broad approach of the association: one such example is the Kongresshaus, a design by Haefeli Moser Steiger completed in 1939, that the city of Zurich slated for demolition and which should have been replaced by a new building by Rafael Moneo. The Stadtzürcher Heimatzschutz already in 2005 held its annual meeting inside the Kongresshaus, organized tours around the building and most importantly showed Jakob Tuggener’s documentary of the old Zurich Trocadéro’s demolition and the consecutively erected new building. The result was a shift of opinion, also supported by journalists, that resulted in the preservation of the building.

This episode is representative of a number of successful campaigns launched by the Heimatschutz and included in the book: the association very efficiently organizes its protest against unnecessary new constructions and for the preservation of grown structures with the effect that historic layers at least in part remain visible. Accordingly the present anniversary publication by looking back also formulates ideas pointing to the future of urban planning.

Critically Endangered Language Introduction:

Ainu Language

アイヌ・イタㇰ

Photos provided by AMNH

Some information about the Ainu language:

It’s critically endangered, meaning there are very few native speakers left, who are also elderly, and young people are not picking up the language. Ainu doesn’t have its own original writing system, so Latin script and a modified version of Katakana are used. For this post I will be using both Latin and Katakana script. You can read more about the Ainu language and people on Wikipedia, here and here.

There's a historic house for sale from 1939 just outside of Houston that still has its original stove, refrigerator and freezer from the 1940s in situ and working. And my new refrigerator went kaput after 6 years. 😑
