U.S. Graciela Gil Olivarez

Hesburgh encouraged Olivarez to attend Notre Dame Law school, which she did, and in 1970, at the age of 42 and despite not having a high school diploma, Olivarez became Notre Dame's first female graduate, as well as its first Latin-American graduate.

(March 9, 1928 – September 19, 1987) Graciela Gil grew up in a small town near Phoenix, Arizona. Her father, Damian Gil Valero was an immigrant from Spain and her mother, Eloisa Solis Valero, a Mexican-American.

Some of the feminine spiritual apparitions in the folklore and legends of Latin America & the Caribbean

There are many types of female ghost. They are typically (but not always) dressed in a white or red dress or similar garment, reportedly seen in rural areas and associated with local legends of tragedy. Legends are found in many countries around the world. Common to many of these legends is an accidental death, murder, or suicide, and the theme of loss, betrayed by a husband or fiancé, and unrequited love. Many of these entities are also said to appear near water, like the Sirens of Greece or the washerwomen of the Celtic people.

První pád, druhý pád – dobrá, Čechové, umíte do sedmi napočítat!

Což ale naši předci a jejich pojmenování gramatických pádů?? Jak oni musejí samým obracením rozrývat půdu hřbitovů!

Jmenovánek (nominativ)

Rodlík (genitiv)

Dánek (dativ)

Vinovánek (akuzativ)

Volánek (vokativ)

Otdánek/otjímáček (ablativ)

If I see one more "Veni, Vidi, Amavi" translated as "we came, we saw, we loved" I'm going to fucking lose it. The 1st person plural perfect tense for these verbs is "Veninus, Vidimus, Amavimus".

Where is that fucking latin lesson Monty Python gif when I need it?

#rant #lingua latina #i guess this is your friendly reminder i specialized in roman history in grad school #yes i should have pivoted to greek history but nevermind

A message from your friendly neighborhood Appalachian Latina:

Okay so today being the day that it is and me being the person I am I heave decided to talk about Appalachian heritage and culture vs what a bunch crappy people have tried to make it. This is all my experience not universal also some will be funny and totally fine to laugh at.

Im starting on the more serious note here because I feel these things really need to be addresed and as a Appalachian woman of color I often have felt that people dont think that both parts of this identity are compatible.

Things that are not Appalachian:

- Being racist

-being xneophobic

-Being homophobic or transphobic

-Flying a confederate flag (most of Appalachia was border states if not fighting for the Union side)

-Drinking shitty beer

- Licking the boots of cops and corporations

- being against higher education

- being an anti vaxxer

- glorifying the coal industry and the lives it has cost and is still costing

- hatred towards indeginous people

-Supporting a toxic or abusive family dynamic

-denying woman human rights

- shaming poor people

-Intentionally making your truck stupidly loud

-Union busting, and being against care and support for the disabled and elderly

-Poaching (Appalachian people value our resources and nature) WE hunt to eat not just to kill or destroy

Moving onto some lighter stuff, now these are some of things I love about being Appalachian and part of this culture and community.

Things that are actually Appalachian:

-Running from cops (seriously its like a whole ass thing)

-Fighting for Unions and Workers rights (The actual origin of Redneck, that term is not for racist fuck heads, it originated from red bandanas worn for Pro-union rights

-Being completely and terrifyingly unphased by coyotes

-Making your liquor

-Ignoring the screaming in the woods because that aint your problem

-Folk magic and traditions and superstitions rooted in Paganism and some indigenous magic

-Being part of the underground railroad (The appalachians made a ton of safe houses and protections pre and post civil war for people fleeing the south)

-Hunting to control Deer population and for food

-Knowledge of homesteading, useful herbs, and homeopathic remedies

-Strong sense of community and family

-Ignoring whatever is moving in the corn feild because you arent a white guy in a horror movie

-Women forming safe houses from abusive husbands or from other types of danger

-Valuing and appreciating the land and the connection we have with it

-Fist fighting God in a coal mine

-Weird ass folk tales and cryptids (see MothMan)

-Not letting your commuity go hungry

-caring for the old sick and vulnerable not out of pity but out of compassion and respect

-Fighting for your rights and the rights of others

-Resilience and strength in times of adversity

-Knowing at least on person who’s grandmother was some kind of witch with psychic abilities

-Knowing when the woods is silent something is wrong

-Screaming back at screech owls to assert dominance

-verbal history

-vibrant stories and music

These are my experiences as an Appalachian woman of color who loves both parts of her heritage and desperate wants to discourage the narrative that Appalachian people are rude prejudiced and uneducted. We are a resilient and loving people, we are full of stories traditions and a melting together of the new and old worlds. We are people with a murky history, yes, but we are full of acceptance love and strength.

To all my fellow Appalachians who hear these mixed narratives, know that we are the authors of our story. TO all my fellow people of color know that this mountainous region is not built exclusively on hate. Know that you belong, that your cultures are valid and that progress is not about rejecting your culture but about adaption to embrace new perspectives and beginning new stories

Julia de Burgos

Julia de Burgos was born in 1914 in Carolina, Puerto Rico. In 1938, at the age of 24, de Burgos published her first poetry collection, Poem in Twenty Furrows. She was a supporter of Puerto Rican independence and a member of Puerto Rico's Nationalist Party. Her poetry dealt with colonial violence in her homeland. In 1939, de Burgos published another poetry collection, Song of the Simple Truth, for which she won the Puerto Rican Institute of Literature Award. In 1940, de Burgos left Puerto Rico. She ultimately settled in New York, where she worked as an art and culture editor for Pueblos Hispanos, a progressive newspaper.

Julia de Burgos died in 1953 at the age of 39. Another collection of her poems, The Sea and You, was published posthumously. Today, many cultural centers, parks, and schools are named for her.

They can never make me hate you Wikipedia

#hadn’t researched anything in years and for my art history assignment we had to make flashcards on a particular artist #I chose Arnold #bocklin…had to search #one of his paintings while he was still influenced from his landscape painting exhortation before he got big into symbolism #it was the landscape in the Alban hills #and I had to find context about it and learned that the alban hills in Rome was once a ceremonial sight for the festival of Feriae LAtinae #which celebrated the unification of over 30 villages and tribes that predated the forming of Rome and had banded together for defense #I feel like I’m butchering this cause I only studied it yesterday but I just thought it was really cool and makes me want to research more #as a past time rather than just mindless scrolling and entertainment as per usual ://#I’ll make a side blog or something to recount my research so I can better memorize

The Legendary Hurricane G has reportedly passed away.

Best known for her solo sensation All Woman, verse on Redman’s “Tonight’s Da Night” and “We Run N.Y,” presence on Delinquent Habits, and several iconic underground ventures of the 90s, Hurricane G is a hip-hop notable who was always ahead of her time. An avid representer of what we at Old School Hip-Hop Lust label “Original Woman Rap,” born Gloria Rodríguez, G was an unapologetic spitter of cultural rigor—instilling a prominent spotlight on Afro-Latina hip-hop practitioners.

Erick Sermon, who shares a daughter with Hurricane G took to Instagram to break the devastating news and highlight her influence on Puerto Rican female emcees:

“My heart is hardened today. One of my good friends…. my oldest daughters mother passed away today #HURRICANEGLORIA was also a legend in her own right in the Hiphop community. One of the first puertorican female rappers She rapped with me. @redmangilla she paved the way

@keithmurray @diddy she was in all the Hiphop magazines with all the top females at the time.. #stretchandbobito loved a song that she did called “MILKY” She will be missed all around the world. I can’t believe this. Pray for us. Beautiful blessings. She was a beautiful person a wonderful mother as real as they come. We love u.”

Details on Hurricane G’s passing have not been publicized as of yet. The news of her passing was confirmed through the posts of several of her hip-hop colleagues, including Rah Digga who tweeted, “I feel crazy posting back to back death like this but #HurricaneG is family as well as a legend and my good sis deserves her flowers. Rest easy my G <3”

The news of Hurricane G’s death was announced seconds to minutes after the death of Tame One of The Artifacts!

We send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the beautiful Hurricane G.

I feel so sorry for the Afro-Dominicans because when I tell you some non-black Latinos and Dominicans fight to say Afro-Dominicans don’t exist.
