some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

An Amazonian girl and her pet sloth.

A reverse image search tells me that this is a Yagua girl with a three-toed sloth, Rosita and Sandra, in Loreto, Peru 2009.

The Yagua live in 30 communities scattered across the Peruvian and Colombian Amazon basin. They’ve were severely subjugated in the 19th/20th century by arriving Europeans in the ‘rubber boom’, when latex was being extracted from the jungle. This included deaths via conflict and disease, slavery and having to flee their land. All these factors lead to a decline in their unity and common culture. Even today, the Yagua like many South American tribes face pressures from deforestation and the violence against them that comes with it, and lack of socioeconomic support from their respective governments.

A lot of people have reblogged this post and talked about how cute Rosita and Sandra are, and how they should have their own Disney movie. The best thing you can do for the Rositas and Sandras of the world is to donate to the continued conservation of the Amazon and protection of indigenous lands, as well as fundraisers to give indigenous people access to vital medical, food and other supplies.
