Guatemala Ig

If the government wants to strike me down, so be it. she/her | MINOR IRL | willing to adopt anyone | not actually Guatemala ofc (I am Guatemalan tho) | NOT COMFORTABLE WITH NSFW MENTIONED ON HERE PLEASE

[guatemala-official]

Alr due to some comments I've decided to actually make an intro. Should I have done this awhile ago yes. Do I care no

I am Guatemala (not literally) I use she/her I am a cis bi girl and a MINOR so please don't make any sexual comments surrounding me or the character, that makes me very uncomfortable. I am guatemalteco (aka Guatemalan) and also partially ki'che, but I am still learning about the parts of the culture besides food.

Please tell me if I make you uncomfortable, I have a hard time with that. You may assume that any post that isn't a reblog to a gimmick blog is either in or out of character.

My children are @the-principality-of-sealand and @sealand-official

But with wings yippee

[AFTER REVEALING VERY TELLING PERSONAL INFO] But don’t read into that. let’s move along

[cowboyhatesithere]

250 years and most native tribal groups continue to not be federally recognized. Embarrassing!

[cowboyhatesithere]

Hey so a small thing that literally everyone who sees this is capable of is correcting any “used to” statements about native people in this country.

“Native people used to live in this National Park” No. They still do.

“Native people used to tell these stories-” No. They still do.

“Native people used to use this plant as a natural remedy-” No. They still do.

Better yet, familiarize yourself with the tribes local to you. Odds are, they do not yet have federal recognition. You can still read the stories they have to share, you can share their ongoing battle for recognition with others, you can sign petitions and spread the word to others to do so as well. But do something.

Saw the news about Venezuela. Two back to back earthquakes, that's terrifying.

update as of 11:04 EDT, via Reuters

Thousands of Venezuelans are feared dead. The U.S. Geological Survey, using predictive modeling, estimated that the death toll would most likely rise to the thousands, with a substantial probability of exceeding 10,000. For now, the official figure given by Rodríguez is 164 people confirmed dead and nearly 1,000 injured. The authorities have not given an update for more than six hours.

white european communists are obsessed with talking about wanting to nuke the entire landmass currently known as the united states because they feel an ancestral call towards killing Indigenous people

not sure what to put as the caption but. yeah!!!!

Here’s my take on this.

Intersex bodies do not need correcting, intersex bodies are not unnatural. Intersex people deserve autonomy.

Stop nonconsensual intersex surgeries.

See the thing about Stratt putting all media ever in the Hail Mary is that it isn’t just for lolz or to keep the crew entertained, it always struck me as something deeply sad. Because even if all the crew survived, there was no way they could consume all possible media ever, language barriers alone would present a problem. And even then, they had a job to do and focus on first (which could have theoretically taken decades of work to figure out) so they wouldn’t have much use for The Great Gatsby or a week’s worth of poorly written amateur Guatemalan experimental opera. Let us remember that Stratt is practical and true utilitarian Instead, I think it was another part of the Hail Mary. If the scientists failed, if the Earth died, then what? Everything would have been completely lost. Art, music, film, history. Destroyed. Without a single living soul to remember it by. It would be as if all of humanity had never existed.

But if it survived? If other alien civilizations discovered traces of humanity? Then the memory of mankind could live on and be remembered. What better way to do that than to send everything (literally everything, the art, the music, the science, the history) out as far as humanly possible so that it might connect with someone else in the universe? It would be a long shot, a Hail Mary, but it was the best chance that humanity had to be remembered

[eviltransgendertips]

Evil transgender tip #9 read up on intersex people. A lot of trans and intersex struggles overlap and solidarity is important.

[queercripintersex]

Yes, and do it by reading intersex sources! I've lost count if how often I've seen perisex trans people write about intersex folks in ways that are medicalising, fetishising, and/or outright disconnected from the intersex community.

Biologists and physicians are NOT the sources you should be consulting for this. Read texts by intersex studies scholars. Watch/listen/read the works of intersex creators. I am pluralising very deliberately because there is no singular authority on intersex, no singular intersex life experience.

[madmonksandmaenads]

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.
