Historians contend that Dutch settlers began the process of establishing New Amsterdam, the town that would eventually become New York City, at some point in 1624.
Dutch government officials joined city officials and others on Wednesday to commemorate that moment and begin a process for facing the history that followed – the transatlantic slave trade and the dispossession of indigenous people from the island of Manhattan.
The launch event for what is called Future 400 was held at the National Museum of the American Indian. It begins two years of Dutch government-funded exhibitions, theater productions and dances marking colonial history and the partnership between the United States and the Netherlands.
“We cannot change the past but we can face up to it,” Birgitta Tazelaar, the Dutch ambassador to the United States, said at the event.

The kickoff follows a historic speech in 2022 by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on the Netherlands' role in the history of slavery. Rutte noted that over 600,000 enslaved Africans had been shipped to the American continent “in deplorable conditions” by 1814.
“Today, on behalf of the Dutch government, I apologize for the past actions of the Dutch state: to enslaved people in the past, everywhere in the world, who suffered as a consequence of those actions, as well as to their daughters and sons, and to all their descendants, up to the present day,” Rutte said.

My Favorite Buckingham-James Letter of All Time
October 1624
I shall make you wonder at a resolution I have taken never to enquire more after your health. You can bear me witness, that I have never given credit to those that undertake to have the Philosophers' Stone, especially when they become takers themselves, as my devil hath now proved himself. If he blow as profitably with all the world besides as he hath done with me, he will have little need of the Philosophers' Stone; yet if all be true he hath assured to me, I shall think my four hundred pounds well bestowed.
I confess so long as he concealed the means he wrought by, I despised all he said; but when he told me that which he hath given your sovereignship to preserve you from all sickness ever hereafter was extracted out of a turd, I admired the fellow, and for these reasons: that being a stranger to you, yet he had found out the kind you are come of, and your natural affections and appetite, and so, like a skilful man, hath given you natural physic, which is the only means to preserve the radical humour.
And thus I conclude: my sow is healthful, and my devils lucky, myself is happy, and needs no more than your blessing, which is my true Philosophers' Stone, upon which I build as on a rock.
Your majesty's most humble slave and dog, Steenie.
Modern spelling by David M. Bergeron, in King James and Letters of Homoerotic Desire

Year 1624
TW/CW: Miscarriage
Isabella celebrated her birthday and while she began to develop a bad habit of theft, she was the spitting image of her mother.
Karmine took on a more active role with the children of the house because this time around her pregnancy was treating her far more kindly. She was excited to have so much energy. Vincente couldn't help but imagine just how nice it would be to have the kids grow up together. The somber mood of the household began to lift as winter gave way to spring.
Francisco and Karmine tried to busy themselves with the crops on the farm which wasn't hard to do. They didn't want to hope only for their hopes to be dashed again but they'd exchange looks that couldn't contain their dreams.
Ramon returned home for a visit during the less busy days mentioning that Easter preparations were to begin in a a few days, just enough to stop by and meet his niece and nephew and check in on his family in Tartosa since he was living in the church in San Sequoia. The distance wasn't too far. Giulia had been too shy to really meet her Uncle but Piero was happy to let the visitor hold him though Ramon was rather uncomfortable with dealing with young kids.
Karmine had barely begun to show her pregnancy when she was gripped with painful cramps and bleeding. It was no surprise that the next night she lost the pregnancy. In a way she was grateful she didn't have to deliver another stillborn but she was just as devastated with this loss as she was before.
Vincente took it upon himself to keep the children entertained while his brother and sister-in-law grieved their loss. Alexis did her best to comfort them given that her first pregnancy had ended in a loss at around the same time in the pregnancy but it was difficult to convince them of the future after two consecutive losses. It also didn't help that Alexis had once again learned she was pregnant.
The Carlisle family dealt with their own complicated feelings throughout the spring and summer and Autumn brought with it Emma Robles's thirteenth birthday. She grew into a lovely young lady and was celebrated by her entire family including her cousins who made a point to visit.
Alexis woke up in December to labor pains that came much too soon. She had expected to deliver sometime between February and March of the next year but her body had other plans. She couldn't help but wonder if this was caused by her children being born so close together.
Late at night on December 18th, Osana Carlisle was born. She was the tiniest baby Alexis had ever laid eyes on and knowing the dangers of early births, it was unclear if she would survive but she was full of life.
In fear that their daughter would pass sooner rather than later, the Carlisle family made sure to shower the little one with all the love they could give. Though Giulia and Piero were not fond of their sister. Giulia didn't understand why the grown-ups spent more time with the baby and not her. Piero just wanted the little crying thing out of his house. Against the odds, as the year drew to a close, Osana only grew stronger in strength.

Release: July 28, 1997
Lyrics:
No I don't lack ambition
Can't you see what I hate
That it's you who is sinking
Locked behind iron gates
You should know
You're falling into fiction
I can tell
You're on some foolish mission
You're black eyed soul
You should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy
You will find
Your own space and time
You call me superstitious
Tie me up with your deceit
I could never be malicious
Though I seem so bittersweet
You should know
You're falling into fiction
I can tell
You're on some foolish mission
You're black eyed soul
You should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy
You will find
Your own space and time
Black eyed soul
You should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy
You will find
Your own space and
Time
Yeh, you should know
You're falling into fiction
I can tell
You're on some foolish mission
You're black eyed soul
You should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy
You will find
Your own space and time
Black eyed soul
You should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy
You will find
Your own space and time
Songwriter:
Black eyed soul
You should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy
You will find
Your own space and time

jaspersprite has made his appearance! i would like to point out that all the humans got mixed with sprite of the opposite gender.
jaspersprite - princess doll + jaspers
jasprose - rose + jaspers
nannaquin - nanna + harlequin doll [that john had referred to as 'he']
davesprite - dave + crow [idk. gives me Feminine Energy <- jokes but also yea]
davepeta - dave + nepeta
jadesprite - jade + bec
damn those kids can fit gender fuckery in them!
the ones who dont follow this are the troll sprites except for tavris [arguably two of the Most transgender characters] but you could make an argument abt the trolls and THEIR relationship to gender. anyway.
