How to Increase your Patience

1. Recognize that we are all different and unique. That can make it hard for us to understand each other but it also makes life more interesting. Choose to value that uniqueness in others.

2. Learn to accept your weaknesses and don’t expect yourself and others to be perfect. We’re all on a journey and change is a slow process.

3. Know your triggers. Try to be aware of what annoys and upsets you – then prepare in advance so that you act, and don’t react.

4. Slowly count to ten, and take some slow deep breaths, before you open your mouth and say something you’ll regret.

5. Try to broaden your perspective, and see things from different angles. It makes you more understanding, and more compassionate.

6. Decide to laugh a lot more and to take life less seriously. Then you’ll feel less frustrated and you’ll feel much happier.

I learned in a Latin Studies class (with a chill white dude professor) that when the Europeans first saw Aztec cities they were stunned by the grid. The Aztecs had city planning and that there was no rational lay out to European cities at the time. No organization.

When the Spanish first arrived in Tenochtitlan (now downtown mexico city) they thought they were dreaming. They had arrived from incredibly unsanitary medieval Europe to a city five times the size of that century’s london with a working sewage system, artificial “floating gardens” (chinampas), a grid system, and aqueducts providing fresh water. Which wasn’t even for drinking! Water from the aqueducts was used for washing and bathing- they preferred using nearby mountain springs for drinking. Hygiene was a huge part if their culture, most people bathed twice a day while the king bathed at least four times a day. Located on an island in the middle of a lake, they used advanced causeways to allow access to the mainland that could be cut off to let canoes through or to defend the city. The Spanish saw their buildings and towers and thought they were rising out of the water. The city was one of the most advanced societies at the time.

Anyone who thinks that Native Americans were the savages instead of the filthy, disease ridden colonizers who appeared on their land is a damn fool.

They’ve also recently discovered a lost Native American city in Kansas called Etzanoa It rivals the size of Cahokia, which was very large as well.

just a note, we don’t think of old european cities as ruins, because those civilizations continued and kept building over the old–there are no abandoned ruins for us to visit & photograph. when we picture those old cities, we have only mental images drawn from our own assumptions & prejudices–images that tend to glorify ‘civilized’ europe.

since victors write history, our image of native american cities was created by colonizers motivated to uphold the ‘native savage’ myth. when we think of these civilizations now, we think of ‘uncivilized’ (rough, broken, abandoned) ruins, because that’s what remains. ruins are the only thing left. because of the destruction wrought by western invaders, these civilizations never had a chance to continue building. they were destroyed, and all we have left is an unimaginative shadow of their former glory.

went to peru and visited some of their museums and learned inca history that american schools don’t teach you. basically you know why they were beaten out by the spanish invaders? because incas were mostly scientists and not warriors. they had advanced medicine, farming and science technology. THATS what they were good at - tech - not building weapons to most efficiently kill people. the spanish were good at that. so they won. basically the real savages and thugs won and murdered a bunch of scientists, and their technology and advancements are lost forever. it took into the 20th century for colonizer technology to advance in the field of medicine and agriculture to the level of the incas. colonizers literally set human knowledge back like 500 years.

It’s crazy to me that, literally everyone in the world was doing just fine until Europeans showed up flipped the script

homoquartz

i mean all of this yes but if you are nonnative please make sure you are not internalizing this idea that somehow our cultures are more “worthy” of preservation or w/e bc we were “advanced” by european standards

let’s please bust the myth that western europe was somehow this bastion of technology and knowledge (bc it is absolutely untrue) WITHOUT devaluing indigenous cultures that didn’t create long-standing monuments or what have you

hey I saw the bi woman using butch/femme post you reblogged and I just wanted to let you know that bi woman can't use butch/femme. Butch/femme is more than a label, it's part of lesbian culture. An aspect of it is being yourself and dressing and acting how you like But Not For Men, only for other lesbians. It's all about the complete exclusion of men. If bi woman are attracted to men, how can they be part of this culture?

Butch and femme identities have existed since a time when differentiating between lesbians and bi women wouldn't have been as crucial and common as simply making it known you were a woman interested in other women.

They are not part of a lesbian culture. They're part of the culture of women who love women.

That is our link and our solidarity. That we are women who love women. Cis women, trans women, lesbians, bi women, pan women, we are all unitied in our love and in our struggle.

When queer bars and groups faced violence and oppression in the past, do you think police and homophobes stopped and said "all the bisexual women here may leave. We'll only assault the lesbians." Do you think that'd happen now?

Get a grip. Bi and lesbian history is intrinsically and irrevocably intertwined.

On a personal note, the bi community is precious to me because I identified as bi for years before I realized I'm a lesbian, and my bi community supported me every step of the way and celebrated me when I came out as a lesbian. I don't identify as bi anymore of course, but that identity was an important stepping stone that will always be a part of me. Many others have gone through the same journey. Others start out identifying as lesbians, then realize they're bi. Do their butch or femme identities suddenly disappear? Does some lisence get revoked?

For reasons like this, the bi and lesbian communities are again, linked on a fundamental level that can't be separated.

I appreciate and understand that you see butch and femme as identities which exist to deny the involvement of men.

However, for me, these identities exist to focus on the involvement of women.

That includes bi women.

You're so focused on a bisexual woman's attraction to men that you forget her love for women.

You need to learn your own history.
