Context for anyone who is wondering: Lamine Yamal's parents won an UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot in which Barça players posed with kids, and 5 month old Lamine happened to get 20yo Messi. Which is like. Literally insane

practicing self care less out of self love and more for the sheer logical reasoning of it’d be kinda stupid of me to expect myself to be able to function without proper maintenance

Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.

He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"

"What?"

He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"

"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."

Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.

Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.

“How to speak amidst so much shattering? Returning to Sarah Ihmoud, she writes precisely of the need to speak through grief, to break out of ‘this غصة/ ghassa, this lump in our throat that keeps us from speaking, and to speak loud and courageously into the wind.” I hear an echo of Audre Lorde who teaches us that what makes it difficult to speak is why we need to do so. I want to pause here and acknowledge that there is so much that is difficult right now, so much that is depressing and exhausting. Even using the words to name what’s happening right now puts you at odds with what is happening right now, words like genocide, treated as extremism, words like transphobia, treated as censoring. The reasons for doing the work can sometimes be confirmed by the consequences of doing it. When they try to stop you, doing what you are doing, being who you are being, we need others all the more, to lend a hand, to carry that weight. We need to become each other’s resources. Today I want to think about that need for translation as a resourcing for movement, not just how we keep each other’s words alive, the work alive, but how we speak courageously into the wind despite being warned of the consequences of doing so.”

I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.

Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.

Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.
