Slaves escaped frequently within the first generation of their arrival from Africa and often preserved their African languages and much of their culture and religion. African traditions included such things as the use of certain medicinal herbs together with special drums and dances when the herbs are administered to a sick person. Other African healing traditions and rites have survived through the centuries.

The jungles around the Caribbean Sea offered food, shelter, and isolation for the escaped slaves. Maroons sustained themselves by growing vegetables and hunting. Their survival depended upon their cultures, and their military abilities, using guerrilla tactics and heavily fortified dwellings involving traps and diversions. Some defined leaving the community as desertion and therefore punishable by death. They also originally raided plantations. During these attacks, the maroons would burn crops, steal livestock and tools, kill slavemasters, and invite other slaves to join their communities. Individual groups of maroons often allied themselves with the local indigenous tribes and occasionally assimilated into these populations. Maroons played an important role in the histories of Brazil, Suriname, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Jamaica.

There is much variety among maroon cultural groups because of differences in history, geography, African nationality, and the culture of indigenous people throughout the Western Hemisphere.

I know you said you haven't seen the movie but the last anon is insane if they think a kid moving to a new country and changing his name to match his new culture was in any way supposed to instead be a trans character. Like that was so specifically about cultural assimilation that as a trans person I can't believe we're being so pigheaded to view the joke through that lens. And also!!! gee I wonder why a guy named Taika Waititi would write a joke about saying a name wrong.

damn is that really it? there isn't like a thor in a dress joke or anything? thor actually does dress up as a woman once or twice in norse mythology so i thought maybe it was that.....

#anonymous #and it's not transphobic in the mythology it's actually kind of feminist ally of him but i could see why it would read poorly in the modern #western hemisphere

Haiti has a population of 11.5 million people, the largest in the Caribbean, and it is 800 miles away from the southern tip of Florida. Historically unstable and impoverished, Haiti is the only nation in world history to form from the aftermath of a slave revolt, and it has descended into anarchy.

There are many different types of mice in the world, with several hundred different species and perhaps as many subspecies. In the Western hemisphere the species are referred to as New World mice, in Europe, Asia and Africa, you’ll find Old World mice. Of course over the centuries, many species have migrated from one side of the world to the other. Still the general distinction between New World and Old World mice has tended for the most part to hold true.Some of the more commonly encountered types of mice are assigned specific names, the common deer mouse being an example. Other types are simply referred to as brown mice, black mice, house mice, field mice, and so on. What one person calls a particular species of mouse, may be something completely different from how another person refers to that same species.

During my masters the harassment from Dominicans was

Do you know how to write an outline?

I went to a specialized chartered high school. My grades were great. I passed all my Regents - most above the 90th percentile. I had done so many outlines that by the time I reached college I could pump a paper out of my brain with no problems.

This Dominican that just went to school to learn paper writing skills Freshman year, asks me (A graduate student);

“Where is your outline? Have you ever learned how to write an outline?”

It’s disgusting what these people in our government let certain people get away with. The complete degradation of their American kids.

This was a woman that was proudly dating a rapist at the school and associated with guys who literally terrorized an African student out of the school because they rushed into his dorm room with ski masks waving sticks while yelling (believing it was just a prank bro) and sent him into shock from ptsd bc of the raids he endured as a child to his home when he lived in Africa.

He was such a nice guy this African student. He kept to himself and was really at the University to learn.

It was a shame when I heard he had dropped out after the incident.

Next up law school.

Most of my life I’ve used an agenda. After several concussions and being overly medicated for several “illnesses” (such as depression and anxiety) I seemed to lose my way at times when it came to academics. I was tired, sick, beaten down, alone, frustrated, very busy (taking care of my mother), abused (with people around me who belittled and mocked me), ect.

I tried to set up a group to help the situation in Cuba.

This Latino that is friends with another Dominican, he sent me an “eggplant emoji often”, asks me “Do you know how to create an agenda? Do you know what every role is for? The social chair isn’t for sending out emails regarding the agenda (even though social chair has to do with communications and marketing most of the time)

It’s hard to “stand with the latin community” when this is how you treat each other.

I’m not saying Dominicans are bad people. I’ve met a lot of amazing Dominicans that have helped uplift me in life - including my college roommate who was also in my sorority. She was a wonderful Christian joyful Dominican American that was very supportive. Some of my family members are the some of the strongest (emotionally, physically, and intellectually) people i know!

There have also been lots of very amazing Mexican Americans out there that have offered a ton of support throughout law school and helped me with my studies.

But when you’re in this culture that often is cut throat with each other Puerto Rican against Cuban and Cuban against Dominican and Dominican against Salvadorian or whatever it makes you wonder why you’d even want to consider yourself a Latina. 

I’m American. I love my Americans that treat me like I’m an intelligent human being, regardless of their background or my own and regardless of what parts of the American continents you come from. Or what part of the West.

Because even the people in Cuba and Venezuela are a little coo-coo sometimes and don’t understand that they are LOCATED IN THE WEST. 

So if you’re talking crap about the West you’re talking crap about your own culture and your own Hemisphere. 

Most of the people I know that consider themselves American are humble.

They see the value in me.

Like my environmental law professor at times that told me to recognize my worth.

I am grateful for my mentor who is an amazing, intelligent lawyer, and activist towards Unions, equality for people of color, and LGBTQ rights - who is always there for me when I need study tips and advice. She has also put up with a lot of my annoying complaining and crap but still stays very supportive and compassionate.

I am so glad that god has introduced these people in my life.

I am resilient - as all of my fellow proud Americans at the school would tell me.

Thank you :)

I will keep trying to persevere.

Thanks for seeing me when I couldn’t see myself.

#I was sooooo patient trying to capture this #even then it was dumb fucking luck #this one defo gets its own post #addition fun facts abt this night: #I left my driver's side car window down the ENTIRE storm and did not notice. nothing damaged but I have a stinky seat :( #however a stinky seat is the small humbling moment at the end of a phenomenal experience enjoying the storm from my small cave-like patio #so I sat outside enjoying the rain. me n my bong. and also a mogwai album. eyes closed. just sounds and my own deep breathing - peaceful #lighting would streak the sky and I could see the bolts through my closed eyelids - they were bright and crisp; defined. even if obscured #everything just snapped into place. the lightning and the music had moments of perceived synchronization - probably pareidolia #waves of euphoria radiating out from the base of my skull. full goosebumps. momentous feeling - I must've been manic #when I opened up my eyes the world had gone from being heavy and dark to just. red. so red. like a wildfire on the entire western horizon. #my driveway doesn't come with a glamorous view either. it was just that the entire western hemisphere was flame-red fading into eigengrau #i have those photos too lmao - will be sharing soon #my art #aesthetic #art #artwork #webcore #glitchcore #internetcore #photography #original photography #nature photography #lightning #storm #rain aesthetic #stormy aesthetic #dark aesthetic #surreal aesthetic #surrealcore

my danmei fanfic pet peeve is when xianxia modesty standards are referred to as “victorian.” queen victoria wasn’t just over there chilling in ancient fantasy china. there has to be other words out there for prudishness that don’t have the connotation of 1800s european culture.

#danmei #svsss #mdzs #this is pretty prevalent in scum villain fandom but i’ve seen it in transmigration fics for other fandoms as well #like idk using a word so steeped in western hemisphere meanings to describe chinese culture feels wrong #like you realize’victorian’ means queen victoria. of england
