December 5th 1492, the first wave of virus landed on a large island in the region of the western Atlantic Ocean that later came to be known as the Caribbean. It was inhabited by the Taíno and Arawakan people, who variously called their island Hayti (Ayiti) Bohio Kiskeya (Quisqueya). #ayitikiskeyabohio #akomicsart #ajiayabombe #tainos #arawak 🐚🪶

Members of the Munduruku community line up to board a plane at Altamira Airport, in Pará, Brazil, on 14 June 2013. After protesting at the site of the construction of the Belo Monte Dam on the Xingu River, they traveled to the national capital Brasilia to present their demands to the government. The Munduruku community inhabit the banks of another tributary of the Amazon, the Tapajos River, several hundred kilometres away, where the government has plans to build further hydroelectric projects. Despite pressure from indigenous people, environmentalists and non-governmental organisations, the Belo Monte project was built and completed in 2019

More than 80% of the river’s water has been diverted from its natural course to build the hydroelectric project. The drastic reduction in water flow has an adverse impact both on the environment and on the livelihoods of traditional communities living downstream of the dam

Murdering over 10,000 children and abusing more over generations is 'a day at the office' for the Catholic church.
And to think, they believed they were 'saving' these children.

like the british, french and spanish really fucked up our lives. my grandmother still recalls her days in the british concentration camps as a child and it is so hard to hear her talk about it. i have cried a lot because the trauma in my family so fresh and it's horrifying to see the evidence of our violation as a people and land everywhere.
but when i see, hear or read about what empires like canada and the u.s. have done and are doing to native americans and black americans (especially the women), i want to fucking throw up it. is beyond inhumane like those countries have always run on a fuel of these people's blood it's so fucking EVIL.
living as a neocolonial state will never compare to what native americans who are still being held hostage by their oppressors directly on their land are going through
like shit man at least i can roam freely on my land and have rights relative to how much money my family has, but these people are living human horrors i cannot comprehend. they are literally what would have happened to us if the colonizers never left and it's so traumatizing to read about and see.

I don't know, I feel like if I was supporting a side that Indigenous communities around the world were against, I would feel pretty stupid. They understand the pain and trauma colonization brings, and I would think they wouldn't just blindly support Palestine based off of "Hamas propaganda". If you are an Israel supporter, you should open your eyes and read the room.

"I had to take a bit of time to reflect in order to respond with respect. I usually either take or leave recommendations and feedback but this one really called for me to stop and make a video."
I hope this video is helpful 🙏🏿.

Day 930
Happy Indigenous peoples day everyone!
Today is a day to celebrate the many indigenous groups of people native to the Americas. As you know, this blog I'd largely dedicated to Fate's version of a Mexica Deity (along with an Alien Deity based on her Maya form) so I'm very much invested in celebrating the cultures of the Indigenous mesoamerican peoples. And I do intend to continue that today with a few more posts.
Hopefully I can be sure to finish them today and not be late. But I can't fully promise.

I think the reason I dislike Hamilton so much (besides the glorification of literal slave owners) is because at is core Hamilton is a musical about The American Dream.
I find everything about The American Dream (and yes I'll capitalize it) fascinating. Maybe because being from a developing country I grew up being groomed to maybe have a change at either imigrating and following The American Dream myself or getting close enough to it that my kids would finally be the ones to bring my family to the U.S (and I wasn't the only one) or because I have a cousin that lost it all trying to immigrate and was barred at the border for no real reason and is back here with no money and a bad job because he put all his cards on The American Dream. Or maybe because U.S media is deeply popular for south american kids and we wach more your movies and read your books than our owns. Either way I grew up with the idea that I was unlucky to be born here and if I had just being born in the US. Only to find out that this wasn't true. People on the US were just as unlucky.
And if it hurt me to discover that all the promisses and pressure I got were empty at least it was before I tried to emigrate and follow it. What about all the people who crossed the board and didn't make it? Yes there were succes stories, but still. And what about the kids who were born there? Who were raised to believe they lived in the best country in the wolrd and hard work always meant success only to realize that this isn't the case? Do they blame themselfs? Do they think they just didn't fight hard enough? Do they feel angry?
Lin Manuel Miranda's pro-imigration musical, his masterpiece, is about how the U.S was funded by great people and how it is the job of today american's to remember them and follow their legacy. Is that all the failings on the country aren't systemical problems. It's people forgetting. Forgetting the founding fathers were immigrants, forgetting how liberal and charitable and great they are.
Hamiltom says the American dream is there. That people just need to remember their roots and take it. In the wolrd of Hamilton the system isn't bad au contrary it is good and it was made by great people (yeah, sure) is just that the people defending the system now days are bad and don't understand the REAL system (and that's why the musical conveniently forgets that the founding fathers were slave owners). The final song in Hamilton, "Who lives, who dies, who tells your story", is hopefull. It acts as if remembering the founding fathers for their supposedly progressiviness (Jefferson being complimented for having a good economical system instead of rightfully called out for being an awfull person, the only mention of slavery being when Elisa says she fought against it and that Hamilton would have been proud - would he?) and following their legacy is all one needs to achieve the perfect country. And that's bullshit.
I may not be american but even if the founding fathers were this great people the musical is portraying (and they sure as hell weren't) that would have been bullshit. What makes or breaks a country is more than their legacy, is their systems, is how they were build.
My country has a legacy of real insurgencies being destroyed so moderate conservatives can give us them in lighter shades and pet their backs for how good they are, how much they care for the people they see as lesser. Our independecy was buyed and our republic was negotiated. And people fought before that. But the people who fought wanted to much. They wanted a republic, they wanted the end of slavery, they wanted to compensate the slaves and not the slave owners. So they were silenced. The only insuressionist that got a holiday is the one for the tamest of the failed insurections. The first time the people's will trully mattered was when we took out the dictartoship. Our new republic for all it's multiple failures is the closest to a real people's legacy. So maybe the mensage of Hamilton apply better to us. But if our only good legacy is too fight against the system than how would it work when in Hamilton the system IS the legacy?
I have no answers or solutions. I barerly know what this post is. I just was listening to "Everbody's Got the Right" from Asassins on Spotify and when it ended Spotify went automatically to "Who Lives Who Dies Who Tells Your Story" and listening them side by side gave me a terrible whiplash.

There was a time when someone asked if I could do an Antares/Reader fic and while I'm not a fan of that my brain still started thinking of some promps about them and it lead to having a small hyperfixation about a Dragon Priest OC:
And here is Ananké

not much to say about her except she speaks sarcasm (to the Monarch) and costumer service (to everyone else.
Also she likes to drink a lot of chicha.
