  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.]

  3. 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.

  5. The term "maíz" is directly derived from the Taíno word "mahiz".

    "Elote" has its origins in Nahuatl, spoken by the Aztecs in Mesoamerica.

    In South America, "choclo", comes from the Quechua language, spoken in the Andes.
