#amazigh new year

[aghilasims]

Asegas amega to all my fellow Imizghen out there in the world! Yannayer 1st is a celebration not only for the new beginnings but also to cherish winter's harvests and share wishes for prosperity during such a harsh time of the year.

My first edit for 2024, and of course it had to be in theme to celebrate year 2974.

Did you know that yannayer translates to "first moon" in tamazight? Cool, right?

Edit is inspired by Mouatez Serbis' 2017 harvest-themed stamps, as showcased below.

I'm not going to reblog the post, but I am once again going to fight people who use the Roman period as the evidence that all Jews, in modern times, are colonised people and Indigenous to Palestine

like, ok... Jews established kingdoms in Palestine as far back as the Bronze Age. the kingdom of Judah was then crushed by the Neo-Babylonian Exile, and many Jews were brought eastward in the Babylonian exile.

the conquest of Alexander the Great allowed a new kingdom, of Judea, to be established with its capital in Jerusalem. but not all Jews returned from the east, and Jews under Hellenistic rule also spread westward into Hellenized Egypt and northward into the Balkans. this was the situation when Rome conquered the Judean kingdom.

during the Roman period, Jews spread further into North Africa and Europe, establishing communities throughout the Roman Empire. when Judea was eventually crushed by the Romans and its citizens expelled, there was already an extant international Jewish community. the eastern community I mentioned from the Babylonian captivity had already existed for 500 years.

when Jews were expelled from Judea, many also eventually returned. a major community was almost immediately established in Tiberias, for instance. Jews would even resettle in Jerusalem. the Jerusalem Talmud was compiled a couple hundred years after the Roman expulsion.

so we start seeing these unique and widespread Jewish communities with their own minhagim (customs) and centuries to eventually millennia-long histories in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Jews were part of established pan-ethnic groups in these regions, so, for instance, there are Amazigh Jews, Arab Jews, Persian Jews, Russian Jews, French Jews, etc.

some of these communities in Africa and Asia would also go on to be colonised by European powers, such as France and the UK. colonisers like the French made distinctions between French Jews and native North African Jews.

Jews largely share common origins from the Near East, and there were Jewish kingdoms in Palestine whose histories are part of our religious identities, but we do not belong exclusively or even generally in Palestine more than wherever we found ourselves in the world. some of us are the colonised, but generally the displaced colonised of other parts of West or Central Asia or North Africa. others of us have been colonisers in those very same regions or elsewhere.

TL;DR Jews are diverse. we have a long history and geographically vast history that encompasses but is also much more than the Biblical narrative.

"Indigenous" in a political sense is not just being from somewhere, but having a relationship with a colonising power. and with that being said, Palestinians, the people being colonised by Israel, are Indigenous to Palestine.

oh so you're just mask off racist now lol

If acknowledging the imperialism my community suffered as second-class citizens under is “mask off racist” then what are we even doing here. The Arab Caliphates empires were imperialist. They took my people’s native land in a military conquest. They massacred us, sent the survivors to ghettos, and made us pay higher taxes because we refused to conform to their mandated faith. They did that for a thousand years. That’s historical fact. They did it to the Amazigh in North Africa, they did it to the Zoroastrians in Persia, and they did it to Jews.

I’m going out on a limb here and I’m assuming you’re a leftist or a liberal. I’m assuming you abhor white supremacy and alt-right talking points. But look at what you’re doing. When Black and Indigenous people rightfully address the horrors they faced under Western imperialism, Fox News and Alex Jones call them the “real racists” for “attacking white people”.

We’re not allowed to talk about our persecution, we’re not allowed to address historical fact, we’re not allowed to educate others on what happened? Because that’s bigoted against the descendants of people who persecuted and killed us? That’s textbook conservative reverse racist ideology.

I didn’t say “Fuck the Arabs” or “Palestinians should die” because of that history. I never have, and I never will. If that’s what you heard, that’s your problem. In the meantime, try your best not to become the monster you hate.

In the Privacy of the Tuaregs

Photos by Ferhat Bouda, 2016.

Between the Sahara and the Sahel, around the cities of Agadez and Abalak, in central Niger, live Tuareg tribes who have chosen to move away from cities, new technologies and assimilation. They are still semi-nomadic, but only move their camps twice a year and only a few kilometers depending on the rising waters in winter.

Livestock raising is their main source of income. Since the 1960s, however, many men forced to leave the villages to go to work in the city and thus be able to support their families

Women, very proud, are the pillars of the tribes. Refusing polygamy, which is very widespread in the region, they are the ones who choose their husband and, at the slightest dispute, it is the man who must leave the house and leave the children and cattle to the woman. In many ways, it appears to be a matriarchal society, but decision-making remains in the hands of men.

Several distinctive signs give Tuareg society its authenticity, such as its habits and customs, its arts, its fashions and other traditional weapons.

Remaining nevertheless the linguistic organ which structures the culture of the Tuareg population. This organ is Berber and makes it an Amazigh entity in its own right.

Asha from "Wish" is not Afro-Latina, and I have no idea why people and news outlets are claiming that she is Afro-Latina representation/canonically Afro-Latina.

She is not Afro-Latina. Yes, she absolutely is African and she is hispanic, but hispanic =/= latine. But it absolutely breaks my heart to see people claiming Afro-Latina representation and praising Disney for this when there she is not Afro-Latina representation.

These are all of the countries where someone could be from and be Latino/e, AKA, Latin America.

"Wish" takes place on an island in the Mediterranean Sea, which is a sea nestled between primarily Europe and Africa. The kingdom that Wish takes place in is a Hispanic country. Hispanic is commonly mistaken as synonymous with Latino/e, but it absolutely isn't. Hispanic can be related to Latino/e, but all it means is from or related to countries/regions that speak Spanish or are connected to Spain. All it really means, at its core, is "Spanish-speaking".

This is why a huge country like Brazil is a Latino/e /Latin American country but NOT Hispanic, despite nearly all other countries in Latin America being both Hispanic and Latino/e

The Mediterranean is not a Latino/e region. It isn't even remotely close to Latin America.

Now, could she have emigrated from Latin America? I mean, sure, possibly, but actually no. Her parents are explicitly confirmed to be from the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa. Both of which are regions that are part of/touching the Mediterranean Sea region.

For those unaware, this is the Iberian Peninsula:

It is a region that includes places such as Spain and Portugal, as well as many other countries, regions, and territories.

It is explicitly confirmed that her parents are from North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula here:

If it's hard to read, the text on the image says:

"Asha is a beautiful character with a mother from North Africa and a late father from the Iberian Peninsula, so her features reflect her heritage. Learning more from our cultural consultant Dr. Aomar Boum about the cultural traditions of the Amazigh people in North Africa, including their history of braiding and ornamenting long hair, inspired me to explore a box braids hairstyle for Asha. - Bill Schwab, ART DIRECTOR, CHARACTER"

Note: Amazigh is not a typo of amazing (it may come across that way if you're using a screenreader, as "amazing people" in this context makes sense). The Amazigh people are indigenous inhabitants of North Africa.

That's all I have to say, but it just bothers me that people refer to her as Afro-Latina, which is an entirely different cultural experience and heritage than hers, which is being from the Iberian Peninsula and North African (Amazigh). (Another note: I do not say "Iberian" as that refers to a group of people that settled in the region a few thousand years ago). I wish she was celebrated for representing the regions she represents rather than falsely for representing a region that's on an entirely different continent.

To be clear, I think headcanoning her as whatever you want is absolutely valid. I'm not saying any of this because I am against representation. I am saying all of this because it is an objectively wrong fact and misinformation that contributes to people misunderstanding what Latino/e and Hispanic mean/are. I would love to have an Afro-Latina Disney Princess, but she isn't one. However, if you want Afro-Latino/e representation in Disney, I highly recommend "Encanto"!

No Amazigh person or Spanish person felt seen is the issue. Effort does not mean anything when you are a company that famously relies on orientalist and racist depictions of Brown people, and the movie you are supposedly representing us in does nothing to showcase that. I can say the concept artists put in the effort, Disney as a corporation did not with this movie.

First of all, like I said, since the movie is not about race plot-wise, that was not the main point of it. For example, Princess and the frog is the story of a Black woman. It was written to depict (among other things ofc) many aspects of the Black culture and the struggles as well of a Black person in 1920s New Orleans. Tiana couldn’t have been but Black. It’s not the same with Wish; Asha’s story is not about race, if you were to change her skin color, the plot would remain untouched, since Rosas is a multi-ethnic kingdom anyway. So her house having cultural furniture related to her origins is just details, but it’s still there. Should have they just not payed attention to the characters’ cultural background, even though that wasn’t the main focus of the plot?

That said, even though I’m sure I HAVE seen some people commenting positively on little cultural details in Wish (again, it’s not huge, but in a movie that is not about race, it’s little things that make you go “hmm. they actually cared enough to do that”), if you say the movie didn’t correctly portray Amazigh and Spanish people (among others, because the movie features many ethnicities), well I’m not Amazigh or Spanish so I’ll take your word for that, and I’m genuinely sorry if that kept you from enjoying the movie. Still I’m curious, what racist depictions of Brown people are in Wish? Also, what racist depictions of Brown people are in general in Disney? Aside from older films, but that was from a time when there was little ethnical sensibility and it was not only Disney making stereotypes (which they also acknowledged in recent years). Is the representation in Encanto bad? Moana? Raya and the last dragon? Strange world?

Oh, we're talking about the TOG racefaker again? Good! Let's also talk about that other profile she made literally months after she was exposed!

Because I can't be the only one who remembers that around the end of that year, an art blog under the administration of an "Asian American" woman popped up, and that all the racefaker's besties were promoting it and reblogging from it.

It took her less than three weeks to try and start another wave of discourse (which was supported by the main bestie, the antisemitic one that is now all about End OTW Racism), and people noticed that she sounded just like the racefaker and would say the same things as her.

Instead of taking a step back and stopping to interact with the asks telling her "Hi Helene," she doubled down and said that what people did to that woman of color was doxxing and disgusting and racist, an attack caused because she wanted to educate people on racial issues, and that there was no proof that she had lied about anything.

Then, because the person handling this account was clearly the same one who got caught for her lies only a couple of months prior because she couldn't keep her story straight, she began lying on the new account too, saying that people were attacking her because she's an Asian woman who only recently moved to the US. Except before that, she'd say that she was Asian American.

She abandoned that profile too because it clearly wasn't going to go anywhere. Just like how plenty of "Moroccan Amazigh" people were creating empty Tumblr blogs to support her before she was exposed, and were all inexplicably abandoned/deleted after the post exposing her dropped.

I don't know, maybe I'm just not rich and privileged enough to have this amount of free time, but if you're creating multiple blogs and fake personalities to pester a fandom, you should definitely consider going outside. Or getting a job. Or literally anything that doesn't require internet access.
