It's been how many years now?

Does it matter? I don't know.

I don't know who would still read these, as I have been out of this platform for so long now.

I guess I'll just give some of the big life updates so far.

Tumblr, I got married in April. We've been living together for the past four years, and it has been as amazing and challenging as I could only hope.

It is incredibly weird to think that I, a child, have an actual honest-to-god wife.

It's crazy to me how much life has changed since I was here chronically.

My life was much more fandom and being broken than being a human being, and that showed. I was an angry little fella, and I deserved a lot of what I suffered and caused by my small mindedness and selfcentered-ness (are you even a word?).

Making sense of life is hard after all, and few things are as difficult as finding your place and who you truly are.

I'm glad that queer kids have a shot at dealing with this earlier. They seem bolder and way more unapologetic than my generation ever was.

I started a new job not very long ago and one of my training coworkers is a transboy that is young enough to be my child. At his age, I couldn't even comprehend the transness in me as well, but this little fella has been open to it since high school, and will definitely be a force to be reckoned with.

Anyway, I only got on tumblr again because I needed to grab some old art, so I won't be around for very long either.

I guess all I wanted to say is thanks. For all that were a part of my life back then, and those who, somehow, still sort of do, even if in memory.

I hope you're all doing better than ok.

#that's it #I miss tags as an afterthought #this sweet kid sent me a message three years ago asking if they could use some of my old rwby art on stuff #I didn't even know rwby was still going jesus christ #once in a while an old ass meme from tumblr shows up on ig or something and there's someone I used to follow is there being part of the jok #such a wonderful treat from the internet #holy shit I'm 37 now #I've been back in Brazil for almost 11 years je-suhs christ #ANYWAY

Anyone else immediately notice the sun’s path of light is curved and how the moon SHOULDN’T be going the opposite direction of the sun because then you’d never be able to explain lunar cycles?

My favorite thing about flat earth theory is that they have an answer to everything that says the earth isn’t flat, but if you put more than three of those answers together, they cancel each other out

lunar cycles my ass, explain eclypses in general because now I’m very entertained

Here are some maps of recent deforestation in the Brazilian administrative state of Rondonia, source of ongoing extraction industry invasions of Indigenous semi-autonomous land and the subsequent source of the forest fires from which smoke from burning forest has engulfed Sao Paulo, inspiring the “Pray for Amazonia” publicity campaign in August 2019. On 12 January 2019, an initial wave of about 50 resource extraction workers - the first of many - illegally invaded the rainforest territory of the Uru-eu-wau-wau Indigenous people of Rondonia; they immediately began cutting trees, burning forest, and installing vehicle-access trails. [Source.] The Karipuna, in Rondonia, are also fending off extraction industry invasion. You think the subsequent intense resource extraction expansion in Rondonia, the subjugation of local Indigenous communities, and deliberate fire-setting might contribute to the excessive smoke?

Here’s a view of deforestation relative to Indigenous-managed territories (from Imazon, 2015):

Here’s a demonstration of how the smoke in Sao Paulo, indeed, comes from Rondonia forest fires, despite Bolsonaro administration denials and their insistence that “pressure systems” are to blame.

That big red patch of smoke is directly over Rondonia.

Here’s Rondonia:

Here’s a 2011 research article examining how deforestation in Rondonia, specifically, alters climate patterns across the continent: [x]

An excerpt from Amazon Watch [February 2019]:

In what appears to be a concerted strategy to deny indigenous peoples protection and legal recourse from these attacks, Bolsonaro abruptly removed Brazil’s National Indigenous Foundation (FUNAI) from the Ministry of Justice. This has blocked the agency’s ability to conduct direct dialogue with Federal Police, which supports FUNAI’s mission of protecting indigenous rights and defending indigenous lands. The move complicates the ability of FUNAI employees to bring environmental and human rights crimes to the attention of appropriate authorities, creating bureaucratic obstacles in a time of crisis. In addition to losing its home in the Ministry of Justice, the Bolsonaro government divided FUNAI’s mission into two ministries, further undermining its ability to serve indigenous peoples. The agency is now managed by the Ministry of Women, Family, and Human Rights, which is headed by the evangelical extremist Damares Alves who has been roundly denounced by Brazil’s indigenous leadership for her animosity toward native peoples as well as accused of kidnapping a six-year-old indigenous girl from her village to raise as her own daughter.

#this is all true and fucking disgusting #I have never been more ashamed of my country and my people in my entire existence #this has literally driven everyone I've known back home to a sense of depression I have never seen before #this man at our presidency isn't just a lunatic - he is a legitimate monster #and he is going to murder us all
