    [a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    The #US announced $100 million in humanitarian aid to Cuba, some of which is now being distributed to vulnerable families through the CatholicChurch.

    So we went to #Bejucal, one of the towns where the aid first arrived.

    In a town of 22,000 people, the Church delivered 380 boxes of aid. Those who received it expressed their gratitude. But there is a stark contradiction at the heart of the US aid effort: Washington is offering relief from a crisis its own policies have brought about.

  6. have columbused a way to watch #carib #caribbean #cricket and it is giving me aaaaaall the life.

    the way they celebrate every score is an absolute hot ass mess of afrocarib joy. it's the dancing, the chanting, the cheerleading, the animations on the tv screen, the conches instead of vuvuzelas. this is balm for my afrocarib soul.

    shout out to the folks of St. Vincents, the island of one of my ancestors.

  7. Very very tall and on stilts. The green man at the Manchester Caribbean Carnival parade.

  9. I am not saying there was a cyberattack, but it is within the realm of possibility in an Anerican territory with a fragile water supply. Infrastructure there was previously targeted in 2023.

    Aging infrastructure is the main factor.

    That leads to another conversation, unwelcome or welcome, related to the relationship of Puerto Rico and the United States.

    If a US related Caribbean nation has water problems now...
