the pathologic Kin is largely fictionalized with a created language that takes from multiple sources to be its own, a cosmogony & spirituality that does not correlate to the faiths (mostly Tengrist & Buddhist) practiced by the peoples it takes inspirations from, has customs, mores and roles invented for the purposes of the game, and even just a style of dress that does not resemble any of these peoples', but it is fascinating looking into specifically to me the sigils and see where they come from... watch this:

P2 Layers glyphs take from the mongolian script:

while the in-game words for Blood, Bones and Nerves are mongolian directly, it is interesting to note that their glyphs do not have a phonetic affiliation to the words (ex. the "Yas" layer of Bones having for glyph the equivalent of the letter F, the "Medrel" layer of Nerves having a glyph the equivalent of the letter È,...)

the leatherworks on the Kayura models', with their uses of angles and extending lines, remind me of the Phags Pa Script (used for Tibetan, Mongolian, Chineses, Uyghur language, and others)

some of the sigils also look either in part or fully inspired by Phags Pa script letters...

some look closer to the mongolian or vagindra (buryat) script

looking at the Herb Brides & their concept art, we can see bodypainting that looks like vertical buryat or mongolian script (oh hi (crossed out: Mark) Phags Pa script):

shaped and reshaped...

#not sure how much. what's the word. bond? involvement? not experience. closeness? anyone in the team has with any of these cultures #but i recall learning lead writer is indigenous in some way & heavily self-inserts as artemy [like.

There are 84 recognised languages native to the European Union, but only 24 of them are official. Most of the time, the speakers of indigenous, minority or “regional” languages are discriminated against and have the state’s official language imposed in their everyday life.

Reposting from EFA Youth’s Instagram account:

On International Mother Language Day we reiterate our demand for the right to live, learn, work and communicate in our own languages.

We’ve set out 4 steps for the European youth to improve linguistic diversity on our continent.

1️⃣ To demand the right to live, to work and to communicate in our own languages.

2️⃣ To fight for the right to learn our own languages and to be taught in them. Education is key to a language’s survival.

3️⃣Insist on public services being delivered in our own languages for the benefit of all.

4️⃣Speak up and use your languages, no matter how confident you are, the way to guarantee a language’s future is to speak it wherever possible.

Food Bowl: Frigate Bird with Shark Melanesian, Solomon Islands, 20th c. Wood w/ inlaid mother-of-pearl, 8 7/8 x 9 1/4 x 28 1/4 in. (22.54 x 23.5 x 71.8cm) Seattle Art Museum 65.24

"A sequence of species in a food chain is commemorated in this bowl. In a season that lasts from November to April, fishermen watch for frigate birds, who follow schools of small bait fish and are signals that a school of bonito is coming. As the bonito and bait fish stir up whirlpools of frothy activity, sharks swarm behind and devour the residue. This vessel merges two species in their cycle of consumption and that serve humans in feasts."

McGill University and a group of Indigenous elders have reached a deal to search for the possibility of unmarked graves at the former site of a Montreal hospital, following a court ruling described as precedent setting.

The Mohawk Mothers allege there are bodies of Indigenous patients buried on and around the old grounds of the Royal Victoria Hospital, which McGill is renovating to expand its campus.

"I'm glad that everybody agreed with that, and we all want this to happen and we're going toward justice," Kahentinetha, one of the Mohawk Mothers, said in an interview. "We always said we're here for the children and we want justice for all the children."

The Mothers say they have uncovered evidence of graves following interviews with survivors of mind-control experiments that took place in the 1950s and 1960s at a psychiatric institute affiliated with the hospital. Canada and the United States allegedly funded abusive psychological experiments on vulnerable patients with the MK-ULTRA program, which included experimental drugs, rounds of electroshocks and sleep deprivation.

I'm in love with these beautiful wooden statues of the gods, spirts & other folkloric figures in Chuvash mythology. There are over 100 of them in the Suvar Bulgar Ethno Park not too far from Cheboksary in the Chuvash Republic.

"There are successful immigrants, why can't Black and Native Americans be like them? Get over it and stop being alcoholic criminals!"

Maybe because new immigrants didn't have to go through the generational trauma of having their entire communities sytematically humiliated for hundreds of years in the US.

Not to say that immigrants do not also face racism, but that it's different when you come from a people who's spirit and culture have been broken. As recent as the 1970s, there were boarding schools that Native children were forced into and beaten if they spoke their own language... these kids grew up to be elders who are still alive today. I'm not condoning drinking or anything, I'm just saying maybe, maybe if a person didn't have to go through abusive situations they wouldn't feel the need to cope in unhealthy ways.

#My mother coming into the country already having a degree from back home is not the same #As a kid who grew up the ghetto with parents who are drug addicts #Hawaiians are disproportionately more likely to be homeless in their own homeland than white settlers #Think about why #America #USA #Generational trauma #Alcoholism #Indigenous

There is a Helen in every language; in American her name is Marilyn but in my subversive country, she is dark earth and round and full of names dressed in bodies of women who enter and leave the knife wounds of this terrifyingly beautiful land; we call ourselves ripe, and pine tree, and woman.
