  1. I just realised I only have one piece of clothing with PR / Taíno (?) stuff on it.
    I don't really want to just buy random new shit tho, but I also don't want to add to misconceptions either.

    So... I kinda want to design a shirt, I guess?
    Or booty shorts obv, but good fucking luck finding anything short enough on a random print-on-demand apparel website.

    Any ideas / points to avoid?
    The obvious one would be the Coquí, especially since autistics and queers sometimes gravitate towards frogs.
    I prefer fungus and plants tho, myself.

    [Update: I forgot hashtags were a thing.]

  6. On Nov 19, 1493—532 years ago today—Columbus “discovered” Borikén (Puerto Rico), a place already thriving with Taíno life and culture. The conquistadors strutted in like gods, peddling Jesus and immortality while terrorizing the people. The Taíno had questions. So they tested the myth on Diego Salcedo—drowned the motherfucker and waited three days. When he turned blue instead of resurrecting, they said “fuck this” and rose up, marking the first Indigenous uprising in the "Americas."

    Don’t celebrate the colonists. Celebrate the resistance.

  7. There are two wolves inside me. My mother's #AngloSaxon #Mayflower wolf, and my father's mixed #Taino, #Black, #Spanish #Boricua wolf.
    Both wolves are tired. Worn out.

  8. Just added the inspiring #Taino #Indigenous #Futurist SORDIDEZ by @egconde to the Great Reads on my site.

    Doña Margarita is so grounded throughout and perseveres by staying connected with the land and gathering folx together. As the author says in acknowledgements, all the people coming together to reclaim #Borikén (and other Indigenous folx rising to reclaim their lands) are her. Hail Doña Margarita!

    Annihilation by Labor

    New research suggests, that even though most indigenous people in the colonies died of european diseases, way more people died in the mines then expected and those who died by a disease had a lack of immune system because of the daily physical exploitation and destruction.

    Citation Wikipedia:

    "While the populations of Europe rebounded following the devastating population decline associated with the Black Death, there was no such rebound for the indigenous populations of the Caribbean. He concludes that, even though the Spanish were aware of deadly diseases such as smallpox, there is no mention of them in the New World until 1519, meaning perhaps they didn't spread as fast as initially believed, and that unlike Europeans, the indigenous populations were subjected to slavery, exploitation, and forced labor in gold and silver mines on an enormous scale."
