No joke, go read The Open Veins of Latin America before even trying to send me a political ask. Mandatory reading.

It's a cliché that every Latin American leftist has read it and quotes it, but that's because it's written in such a clear language with undeniable strenght on its facts. It presents the history of Latin America solidly just in the first few pages, and it only gets more engrossing the more it goes on. While it is now a bit outdated in the sense that it was first published in 1971, the historical, social and political issues presented are -in an unfortunate way- still current. It is a relatively short book, passionate and in a clear, poetic language.

Sometimes it's good to return to the basics, and this is THE basic book if you want to understand the effects of imperialism in Latin America, and our struggle for freedom and identity.

Instead of losing your time with half baked twitteroid takes, go read it. Here you go, for free, in Spanish, Portuguese and English:

The cultural reason is super interesting!!!!! the canon reason is that Jefferson's dad was a bad person and he didn't want his son having the same legacy (last name)

LOL yup. Tbh, I don’t entirely know how I feel about it. Inarguably, EVERYTHING about how they’ve gone about doing this has been unnecessary and fucked up, and like. Yikes. But on the other hand, there’s the fact that Kamala’s creators always intended her to be a mutant, and its literally just because of stupid film rights stuff that Marvel decreed nope, make her an Inhuman instead as part of our blatant push to make the Inhumans the new mutants in all but name.

Then there’s the fact that being an Inhuman has as of this point in the comics absolutely played a pivotal role in many of her stories and how she’s developed, but I would argue that outside of a couple stories, they’ve never really invested in making her all that connected to the greater Inhuman community? Like, she has other Inhuman friends but she could give a fuck about the Royal Family, its not like she’s ever lived in Attilan, etc.

And realistically, now that Marvel has the rights back to mutant characters/concepts, they’ve pushed the Inhumans so far into the background that while the Royal Family will always be around, Inhumans as a larger community/identity aren’t likely to be pushed to the foreground in any major way for yeeeeeears, if they ever are again at all.

Being an Inhuman DID work to Kamala’s advantage at the specific moment in time that she debuted, because the combination of Marvel’s push to make the Inhumans the new mutants at the same time as they were making a point to give new characters of color a high profile boost (ie Kamala debuting around the same time as Sam Alexander, as Miles being shifted over into the 616 universe, Amadeus Cho getting spotlight as half of the Hercules book during their dynamic duo era, etc)......like I think this indisputably worked together to give Kamala the rare kind of story focus & marketing focus that is CRUCIAL to helping new characters break out and cement their presence in an already crowded superhero landscape. And there was far less competition for story time when pushing the Inhumans, given how little they’d been expanded on before, than would have ever been true if she HAD debuted as a mutant.

But now that situation has completely flip-flopped, so in those respects, I do think that in the LONG-RUN, Kamala NOW being retconned as a mutant and integrated into the larger mutant community - while already cemented as a high profile character in her own right - does a lot more to ensure her longevity as a focal Marvel character than would be true if she remains an Inhuman (while Inhumans continue to dwindle in relevance).

So its like, I don’t HATE this move and think it can potentially benefit her character and presence in a lot of ways.....but I hate literally everything about how they’ve gone about making this move, and it makes me very leery that the potential for this to be a good thing for her character will actually be REALIZED.

Shutting down anything you don't want to hear is not a "boundary." It is emotionally abusive.

Accusing people of not caring about you any time they confront you about your behavior is emotionally abusive.

Wanted to address this because pretty much anything I post about abuse can be flipped to where the "victim" is actually the abuser.

My abuser used to flip things on me a lot so that they could paint themselves as the victim. And the thing is it often works so that the victim questions themselves and their own character, which is the goal of gaslighting like this.

Look for which direction the power tilts in the relationship. A parent is not their child's victim. It's often not so blatantly obvious between peers but who has more control in the relationship? Does one partner blow up at small mistakes, turning mundane interactions into a conflict? Does one partner approach with fear when asking to be treated with respect?

The person seeking safety, security, and respect is not the abuser in these scenarios. The person seeking control, trying to maintain an environment where their word is law and they can do no wrong is. The person who's almost always unwilling to modify their own responses or consider the others' feelings is. They may pretend they just want "respect" but it will feel a lot more like respect = compliance because it is.

"biblical angels" you do realise there are angels in the old testament that are literally just regular looking guys, right? you do know that the hallucinogenic incoherent descriptions are in like. two books. and the rest of the time angels are just guys. you know that, right?

and I'm not saying don't have fun with weird angels. I'm saying, either the eldritch forms are for special occasions, or the society of the angels is Many-Eyed-Many-Winged-Interlocking-Circles, Four-Faces-Six-Wings, and Mike.
