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.]

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.

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.

I'm prepping for tomorrow's workshop with UnidosNow, a local Hispanic/Latinx org that has been shaken by the recent wave of deportations and has decided that working with #clay would be a grounding, healing activity to help cope with that reality.

Before the hands-on clay part, I'll share photos of the #Taíno potter I met in #PuertoRico when we visited in 2023. #AliceChéverez of Morovis carries on the ancient art of her people, passed on to her by her mother. #alttext #Indigenous #ceramics

#Breadfruit: The #Caribbean's #HurricaneResistant #food
21 February 2024
Susan B. Clark

Excerpt: "Originally brought to Jamaica from the Pacific Islands by the HMS Bounty in 1794, breadfruit was an inexpensive, nutritious food for enslaved Africans labouring on British-owned sugar plantations. The trees grow quickly and fruit within a year of planting, producing 200 to 400 fruits per year the size of a large grapefruit or small watermelon. Breadfruit contains all nine essential amino acids and is a good source of fibre, protein and several minerals and vitamins.

"In the centuries since their introduction, breadfruit trees were abundant across Jamaica, and the fruit has been a staple of the country's cuisine. In recent years, as communities have sought out more sustainable, local and healthy food sources – especially ones that can withstand extreme weather (a breadfruit tree that's damaged in a hurricane can regrow itself) – breadfruit has experienced renewed interest as a nutritious and versatile option, providing both health and economic benefits.

"Typically eaten as a side dish and used like a vegetable, breadfruit is most often roasted, peeled and sliced. Its taste is subtly sweet, with a chewy bread-like quality (hence its name). Its soft and starchy texture is akin to a root vegetable like potato or cassava. Like those foods, it takes on the flavour of the main course with which it is served.

[...]

"Breadfruit can also be processed into flour, creating a gluten-free alternative for baking.

"Karlene Johnson uses the flour at her bakery outside of Kingston called Something Country. Her treats include #bulla (a cake-like snack made with molasses), #bammies (a flatbread originating from the island's #Indigenous #Taíno peoples) and oatmeal cookies.'

"'Historically, breadfruit is important," she said. 'Culturally, every Jamaican can identify it as part of their gastronomic experience. Economically, Jamaica stands to benefit from local and international sales of the raw fruit and other processed products.'"

I converted to Satanism when I was 15. I cut ties with my Christian, homophobic family roughly 10 years ago, though I cut ties with my mother later. I have not seen her in 6 almost 7 years. Luckily, my husband’s family is wonderful, so we will be spending Thanksgiving Day with my in-laws, who genuinely love my husband and me instead of merely tolerating our marriage.

The thing my mother and Christians do not understand is that the cruelty of their Christian god and the acceptance of demonic pantheons, societies, and cultures drive people to Satanism, paganism, and witchcraft. Satanists who operate within a secular, humanitarian paradigm are the most decent people you will ever meet.

The ironic thing that I am starting to realize, the older I get, which is oddly affirming and horrifying at the same time because it makes me question my choices in dating and relationships, is that my mother implicitly treated me in the same way a mother would treat her daughter concerning relationship dynamics. When instilling those bizarre Victorian ideas into me growing up, she was implicitly creating expectations for me as someone choosing a man instead of being one.

By the way, my husband is Native American. He is Lenape. I’m Boricua, so I am Taino.

One thing that I really dislike about Mastodon is that many white people who advocate for the rights of Indigenous Americans have stereotypical ideas that connote savagery and tribalism when it comes to Native Americans. Similar to how a lot of African Americans are Christian because of the legacy of colonialism and hegemony, many Native Americans, especially if they are Hispanic, are Christian.

Shamanism is a broad anthropological category that describes spiritual practices that most people in America do not practice. For example, my great-grandfather – my mother’s grandfather, is an Irish Traveler. Irish Travelers are peripatetic indigenous ethno-cultural group in Ireland and the UK however, they are not indigenous in America, albeit they are considered a minority group. Both Irish Travelers and Native Americans have faced significant social stigma and discrimination. Irish Travelers have often been viewed with suspicion and prejudice, leading to social exclusion and economic disadvantage. Similarly, Native Americans have experienced systemic discrimination, loss of land, and cultural suppression.

You could describe many practices of Irish Travelers as shamanic; however, they are racially and ethnically distinct from the tribes over here, such as the Arawak and the Lenape. Being married to an animist, I am not sure where the line between wizard starts and ends and where shaman begins.

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

http://mapologies.com/el-atlas

"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.

The man of religion said yes... The boss then said without thinking twice that he did not want to go there, but to hell, not to be where they were and where he would not see such cruel people.
This is the name and the honor God and our faith have earned. "

My pops was of the #Taino people of #Cuba, which means so am I. We didn't disappear. It fit the needs of #colonizers, #racists, and the powerful of every side, including the revolution's to declare that so there was no claim to land or reparation.
This includes being forced to reject our heritage to gain advantage in a racist society.
I was asked once, "What tribe are you?" I didn't know, thought I was getting fucked with, but I learned later the answer.

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."
