Federal Agency Rejects Developer’s Report That Massive Grain Elevator Won’t Harm Black Heritage Sites

For the second time in six months, a federal agency reprimanded a Louisiana developer for failing to adequately assess the harm that its proposed $400 million agricultural development would cause to neighboring Black communities and historic sites.

In a forceful letter dated Dec. 23, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers rejected claims by the developer, Greenfield LLC, that its massive grain transfer facility in St. John the Baptist Parish upriver from New Orleans will have “no adverse effects.” The Corps is considering a permit application by Greenfield to build on federally protected waters and has the power to halt the project.

That new report, which the Corps received in November, did not address the agency’s demand that the developer conducts a more complete assessment of how the project could damage historic sites and harm residents of nearby towns, according to the Corps’ December letter.

“The report,” the letter reads, “just doesn’t demonstrate adequate engagement, and that must be rectified.”

A Greenfield spokesperson said our team of respected expert consultants and have done thorough evaluations to consider any and all potential impacts. The statement said Greenfield takes seriously its responsibility to provide regulatory agencies with accurate and complete information consistent with the regulatory requirements.

The Corps’ letter criticizes Greenfield and its contractors for failing to meaningfully consult with people whose lives would be impacted by the dozens of looming grain silos, new rail, truck, and shipping traffic, and pollutants from the facility. It says Greenfield and its consultants have not done enough to account for how the development project might harm communities of color, a requirement under federal environmental justice standards.

“It’s very disappointing that they would continue to double down on the report, that they are still saying there will not be any detrimental effects,” Erin Edwards, who blew the whistle on the earlier report, told ProPublica in a recent interview. Edwards co-authored the first version of the information when she worked as an architectural historian for Gulf South Research Corporation, the for-profit cultural resources, and archaeological consulting firm hired by another of Greenfield’s consultants to conduct a federally required assessment of historical sites.

Edwards resigned in late 2021 after her report was stripped of every mention of possible harm to communities or cultural properties, including her conclusion that the area surrounding the development should be listed as a historic district because of its connection to histories of slavery. In internal Gulf South emails obtained by ProPublica, a company manager wrote that it would lose its contract for the report — and could lose future work — if it didn't change the findings.

“Gulf South knew all along that the project would harm the historic plantations there, and they knew that it would hurt the area as a whole,” Edwards said. “There’s no way to look at the evidence and not see that it’s going to be detrimental.”

The Greenfield grain facility has been the target of sustained pushback from nearby communities, civil and human rights groups, and historic preservation organizations, as well as from other federal agencies, including the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, which oversees national preservation policy. The land where the development is planned sits beside the Whitney Plantation Museum, which serves as a memorial to enslaved people in Louisiana. One plot of land down the river is another unusually well preserved plantation designated as a National Historic Landmark.

Two members of the Little Rock Nine — the group of Black students who in 1957 integrated the previously all-white Little Rock Central High School while being threatened by an angry mob — are blasting the Arkansas Department of Education over restrictions placed on an Advanced Placement African American Studies course set to be offered this year.

After Arkansas earlier this week said that the course, which remains in its pilot stage, would not be counted toward high school graduation credits, six schools said that they would still continue teaching the course. In the North Little Rock and Jacksonville North Pulaski school districts, officials announced that the course would count as a "local elective" instead.

The Arkansas Department of Education has argued that there is uncertainty as to whether or not coursework goes against an executive order signed earlier this year by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders that bars "critical race theory" from being taught in the state's classrooms.

In interviews with NBC News, Little Rock Nine members Elizabeth Eckford and Terrence Roberts spoke out against the state's actions.

"I think the attempts to erase history is working for the Republican Party," Eckford told the news outlet. "They have some boogeymen that are really popular with their supporters."

Roberts, who told the outlet that the group "suffered physically and emotionally" in the effort to integrate Central High, said that at a "bare minimum" laws prohibiting what students can and cannot learn shouldn't be on the books.

Roberts recounted that at some commemorations of the group integrating Central High, some have sought to shield the images of the angry mob incensed that Black students dared to believe that they could belong at the high school as well. He also slammed the prohibition of critical race theory — which is almost exclusively taught at a collegiate level — as "ridiculous."

The Arkansas Department of Education in a statement stood by its decision.

"Until it's determined whether it violates state law and teaches or trains teachers in CRT and indoctrination, the state will not move forward," the Department said. "The Department encourages the teaching of all American history and supports rigorous courses not based on opinions or indoctrination."

During a Thursday interview on Fox News, the Governor reaffirmed the decision of the Education Department and stated that she wanted schools to focus on "the basics of teaching math, of teaching reading, writing and American history."

"We cannot perpetuate a lie to our students and push this propaganda leftist agenda teaching our kids to hate America and hate one another," she said.

The AP African American Studies course was offered by Central High during the previous school year, and it will also be an option for students during the new school year.

One of the defining images of the civil-rights movement is a photograph of a then-15-year-old Eckford as she walked to Central High wearing sunglasses and holding her schoolbooks as she faced an angry mob.

Huckabee Sanders, who was elected to the Governorship last November after serving as White House press secretary under then-President Donald Trump from 2017 to 2019, is also a graduate of Central High.

This piece on a documentary on her is worth a read. She's rightfully a legend.

And this interview with Blindboy is great.

the legal system is supposed to be a fair system- one that protects those who need i, brings justice to those who deserve it, and punish the wrongdoers of society. however, this is not the case. i’ve found that according to NSCL.org, Latinos & African Americans are 51% of the population in U.S. jails even though together they only account for roughly 30% of the U.S. population as a whole. this shows that people of color are treated unfairly in the U.S., and even though this isn’t surprising, something needs to be done about it.

On This Day in New York City History February 20, 1895: Former slave, abolitionist and civil rights advocate Frederick Douglass (February 1818 - February 20, 1895) passes away at the age of 77 or 78.

Douglass escaped slavery via the Underground Railroad arriving in NYC in 1838. Douglass would figure heavily in the history of NYC's abolition movement leading up to and during the Civil War. Douglass gave a series of speeches at Cooper Union including The Proclamation and the Negro Army which was given on February 3, 1863.

Post Civil War, Douglass continued to work for the freedom of not only blacks but of women in the areas of voting rights and would lend his support to Ida B. Wells' anti-lynching campaign.

Douglass would pass away at either the age of 77 or 78 in Washington D.C.

not that i'm thinking about the reformation and its impact on england and international relations but i'm very much thinking about humphrey and what it means to be english as a man whose childhood largely consisted of one family raising hell over what the english religion was and what it means for him to be an elizabethan courtier as a presumably reformist man married to a french catholic, and what all of that means to him and his identity after four centuries of distance from All That (not to mention that this religious and geopolitical division is literally what got him killed). i'm also very much thinking about mary and what it means for her to be a christian when it was precisely all the fearmongering of james i and his book on daemonologie and shakespeare's macbeth which created the environment in which she was killed, and on top of that what it means for annie to be a good puritan when the men around her used that to silence and stifle her, and how all of these different characters interact with these broader ideas of a unified church, of some ideal of christendom in the face of england's emerging colonialism revealing a world outside of europe, and splintering factions of protestantism, and the idea of a rightful monarch chosen by god when people are busy fighting over who's even right about god, and specifically the idea of a rightful english monarch, and what even is english anymore when the throne keeps switching between english and spanish and scottish and not-even-royal hands (a country divided, but what's new?), all with international relations challenged by the back-and-forth do-we-want-the-pope-or-the-king-or-hey-why-not-cromwell.

#i don't know if you can tell #but i'm studying the reformation #i didn't even do a deep dive into the civil war or the divine right of kings #or charles i's links to catholicism vs cromwell's puritanism #nor did i mention in any detail philip ii/mary's spanish heritage #or the gregorian calendar #and i think that's relatively impressive #humphrey bone #mary bbc ghosts #annie bbc ghosts #bbc ghosts

March 18th, 2024 Update: 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, U.S. Constitution, Human Rights, Civil Rights, Women's Rights, The Survival of American Democracy and the American Republic, and Easter 2024. Part 3/6: Rachel, Nevada. Chapter 2/2: The MAGA Cult Messiah Blames his Grievances About "America's Steep Decline" On The Last 60 Years Of "TOO MUCH Progress" Empowering The Hopes, Dreams, and Futures of American Women and Girls.

A survey conducted by YouGov in October 2016 found that 43 percent of respondents found the allegations against Rabid Slimy Low-Life Deranged Dishonest donnie j. Dumpster Diaper to be credible. Republicans were least likely to find the allegations credible, and only 19 percent of Republicans thought sexual assault would disqualify Slimy Rabid Low-Life Deranged Dishonest donnie j. Dumpster Diaper from the presidency. (Wikipedia)

Yeah, THAT slimy incestuous pedophile groomer, serial rapist, fraud, habitual offender, and treasonous insurrectionist traitor not only demands PERMANENT IMMUNITY from criminal and civil prosecution, but also believes he's entitled to CONTINUE engaging in all of his many crimes while playing judge, jury, and executioner for anyone in the world he doesn't like for any reason at all. That's why he's already lost the 2024 presidential election with zero legal votes to his name and why Real, Strong American Patriots have already voted him into a prison cell for the rest of his pathetic anti-American, anti-female, anti-human, and disgusting lawless life.

Rabid Slimy Low-Life Deranged Dishonest donnie j. Dumpster Diaper is 77 years old; but American women and girls only just began to get real, equal rights and freedoms since the last 60 years; and THAT's one of the main reasons why the MAGA/Republican Rape Cult says "America is in a steep decline!" The majority of women and girls of all ages in the United States today are witnesses to the battle for Women's rights that the rapist Republican Party and the anti-American, anti-female MAGA Nazi rape cult want to permanently destroy. It's incredibly important to note that American women and girls only just STARTED to gain real equal rights in the United States of America a mere 60 years ago; but THE PROGRESS OF THE LAST 60 YEARS is what rapist Republicans and the MAGA Nazi rape cult are raging against and want to permanently destroy. 60 years of women's rights…ONLY 60 YEARS… That's what the cognitively crippled crooked slimy crybaby insurrectionist, traitor, and incestuous pedophile groomer, serial rapist, fraud, adulterer, and habitual offender connie j. chump is limping around the United States raging and crying about while campaigning to permanently destroy the U.S. Constitution, U.S. democracy, U.S. laws, human and civil rights, and the American republic.

Cognitively Crippled Crooked Slimy Crybaby connie j. chump was born June 14, 1946… THIS is what he says is one of the greatest causes of "America's steep decline": The Equal Pay Act of 1963 is a United States labor law amending the Fair Labor Standards Act, aimed at abolishing wage disparity based on sex (see gender pay gap). It was signed into law on June 10, 1963, by John F. Kennedy as part of his New Frontier Program. In passing the bill, Congress stated that sex discrimination: depresses wages and living standards for employees necessary for their health and efficiency; prevents the maximum utilization of the available labor resources; tends to cause labor disputes, thereby burdening, affecting, and obstructing commerce; burdens commerce and the free flow of goods in commerce; and constitutes an unfair method of competition.

Cognitively Crippled Crooked Slimy Crybaby connie j. chump was born June 14, 1946… THIS is what he says is one of the greatest causes of "America's steep decline": Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, codified as Subchapter VI of Chapter 21 of title 42 of the United States Code, prohibits discrimination by covered employers on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Title VII applies to and covers an employer "who has fifteen (15) or more employees for each working day in each of twenty or more calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year". Title VII also prohibits discrimination against an individual because of his or her association with another individual of a particular race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, such as by an interracial marriage.

Cognitively Crippled Crooked Slimy Crybaby connie j. chump was born June 14, 1946… THIS is what he says is one of the greatest causes of "America's steep decline": The National Organization for Women (NOW) is an American feminist organization. Founded in 1966, it is legally a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization. The organization consists of 550 chapters in all 50 U.S. states and in Washington, D.C. It is the largest feminist organization in the United States with around 500,000 members. NOW is regarded as one of the main liberal feminist organizations in the US, and primarily lobbies for gender equality within the existing political system. NOW campaigns for constitutional equality, economic justice, reproductive rights, LGBTQIA+ rights and racial justice, and against violence against women.

Cognitively Crippled Crooked Slimy Crybaby connie j. chump was born June 14, 1946… THIS is what he says is one of the greatest causes of "America's steep decline": Executive Order 11375, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 13, 1967, bans discrimination on the basis of sex in hiring and employment in both the United States federal workforce and on the part of government contractors.

Cognitively Crippled Crooked Slimy Crybaby connie j. chump was born June 14, 1946… THIS is what he says is one of the greatest causes of "America's steep decline": The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) is a United States law (codified at 15 U.S.C. § 1691 et seq.), enacted 28 October 1974, that makes it unlawful for any creditor to discriminate against any applicant, with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction, on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to contract); the applicant's use of a public assistance program to receive all or part of their income; or the applicant's previous good-faith exercise of any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The law applies to any person who, in the ordinary course of business, regularly participates in a credit decision, including banks, retailers, bankcard companies, finance companies, and credit unions. Before the enactment of the law, lenders and the federal government frequently and explicitly discriminated against female loan applicants and held female applicants to different standards from male applicants. A large coalition of women's and civil rights groups pressured the government to pass the ECOA (and the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974) to prohibit such discrimination.

John 4:6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. John 4:7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” John 4:8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) John 4:9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) John 4:10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” John 4:11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? John 4:12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?” John 4:13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, John 4:14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” John 4:19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. John 4:20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” John 4:21 Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem. John 4:22 You Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews. John 4:23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. John 4:24 For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:25 The woman said, “I know the Messiah is coming—the one who is called Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Pages 999 and 1000: Isaiah 66:10 Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, All you who love her! Join in her jubilation, All you who mourned over her-- Isaiah 66:11 That you may suck from her breast Consolation to the full, That you may draw from her bosom Glory to your delight. Isaiah 66:12 For thus said the Lord: I will extend to her Prosperity like a stream, The wealth of nations Liek a wadi in flood; And you shall drink of it. You shall be carried on shoulders And dandled upon knees. Isaiah 66:13 As a mother comforts her son So I will comfort you; You shall find comfort in Jerusalem. Isaiah 66:14 You shall see and your heart shall rejoice, Your limbs shall flourish like grass. The power of the Lord shall be revealed In behalf of His servants; But He shall rage against His foes. Isaiah 66:15 See, the Lord is coming with fire--His chariots are like a whirlwind--To vent His anger in fury, His rebuke in flaming fire. Isaiah 66:16 For with fire will the Lord contend, With His sword, against all flesh; And many shall be slain of the Lord. Isaiah 66:17 Those who sanctify and purify themselves to enter the groves, imitating one in the center, eating the flesh of the swine, the reptile, and the mouse, shall one and all come to an end--declares the Lord. Isaiah 66:18 For I [know] their deeds and purposes.

“No doubt some ingenious hunter-gatherer stumbled across the cleansing properties of ashes mixed with animal fat, or dreamed of building aqueducts in those long eons before the rise of cities, and we simply have no record of his epiphany. But the lack of a record is exactly the point. In a low-density, chaotic network, ideas come and go. In the dense networks of the first cities, good ideas have a natural propensity to get into circulation. They spill over, and through that spilling they are preserved for future generations.” ― Steven Johnson, Where Good Ideas Come From

Strong's Concordance #439 Allon Bakuth: "oak of weeping"; a tree near the grave of Rebekah's nurse, Deborah, who had helped raise Rebekah and accompanied her when she left home to marry Jacob's father, Isaac. Original Word: אַלּוֹן בָּכוּת

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Pages 72 and 73: Genesis 35:1 God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel and remain there; and build an altar there to the God who appeaed to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau." Genesis 35:2 So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Rid yourselves of the alien gods in your midst, purify yourselves, and change your clothes. Genesis 35:3 Come, let us go up to Bethel, and I will build an altar there to the God who answered me when I was in distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone." Genesis 35:4 "They gave to Jacob all the alien gods that they had, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the terebinth that was near Shechem. Genesis 35:5 As they set out, a terror from God fell on the cities round about, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. Genesis 35:6 Thus Jacob came to Luz--that is, Bethel--in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him. Genesis 35:7 There he built an altar and named thje site-El-bethel, for it was there that God had revealed Himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother. Genesis 35:8 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and was buried under the oak below Bethel; so it was named Allon-bacuth. Genesis 35:9 God appeared again to Jacob on his arrival from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him.

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Page 139: Exodus 13:3 And Moses said to the people, "Remember this day, on which you went free from Egypt, the house of bondage, how the Lord freed you from it with a mighty hand: no leavened bread shall be eaten. Exodus 13:4 You go free on this day, in the month of Abib.

John 13:3 Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God. John 13:4 So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, John 13:5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him. John 13:6 When Jesus came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” John 13:7 Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.” John 13:8 “No,” Peter protested, “you will never ever wash my feet!” Jesus replied, “Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me.” John 13:9 Simon Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!” John 13:10 Jesus replied, “A person who has bathed all over does not need to wash, except for the feet, to be entirely clean. And you disciples are clean, but not all of you.” John 13:11 For Jesus knew who would betray him. That is what he meant when he said, “Not all of you are clean.” John 13:12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. John 13:13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. John 13:14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. John 13:15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.

maybe your anons are mean to you because you’re becoming a lawyer which is a cop by extension and acab and all that

A COP?????? r u being serious rn……the only type of lawyer that is remotely cop adjacent is a prosecutor which i am not planning to be most lawyers have nothing to do w law enforcement at all…..u do realize how important lawyers are to like. making sure ppl keep their rights & are protected under the law right……like lawyers r essential to society and preventing ppl from being exploited or discriminated against. maybe read the wikipedia entry for lawyers at the very least before you say they are cops by extension 😭 there are so many lawyers who have jobs that include combating police corruption and brutality and helping victims of it i can’t believe u would say this 😭 do u think a divorce lawyer is a cop? an immigration lawyer?? an entertainment lawyer???? a tenants lawyer????? i could name a hundred different types of lawyers that have nothing to do w criminal law. and even a ton of lawyers in criminal law are defense lawyers who actively work against the cops in many cases 😭 this is such an insane take i’m floored…….

#esp as someone studying to be a civil rights lawyer 😭 like that could not be anything further from a cop 😭#anonymous #ask //

Alright, little thoughts/headcanons/reminders that will be expanded upon in separate posts in the future, but:

— By all accounts, we know that Guizhong's actual name is Haagentus, this is likely the same to 'Morax' and 'Osial'. Guizhong, keeping in mind that this is what the adepti seem to refer to her as and they also refer to Morax as Rex Lapis (which is the title given to him by the mortals?); I'm tempted to believe that it was given to her by the mortals as well. Granted, this is heartbreaking to think about as Guizhong in Chinese is 归终, of which 归 translates to 'to return' and 终 'to end'. Yep, we all return to dust in the end— yeah, I hate HoYo too. 😭

— She's a bit of a pain in the neck. I say this affectionately, but you need two hands to deal with her. Based on Echoes of the Heart and the quest A Single Harmony for an Irreplaceable Soul, we learn that she's rather competitive, she has no qualms about standing her ground, she tends to push boundaries a little socially even if apparently endearingly enough so (CR: "(...) no matter what nonsense she said, one never felt bothered or offended."), she is very determined (her little tongue as she's working on the Cleansing Bell thrills me so very much) and opinionated/stubborn. Granted, all of this seems to come paired with a certain eloquence and kind air as she was referenced as having been well loved by mortals and adepti alike, as all still speak very sorrowfully even 3700(ish) years after her passing.

— She's very hands-on, she touches everything— she simply experiences life through touch, if you will. As an engineer, she touches to find out how things feel, how they operate. This is, in my opinion, further substantiated by her attire. She's the least clothed of all of the gods and adepti, she's also the only one who's actively shown to always be barefoot. So while I can see this as an entirely standalone aesthetic decision, HoYo is so thorough, so I think there's more to it. So along with being an engineer and what that can imply, I think that the intention of how exposed she is and the specific places where this is a fact (her back, her legs), plays into stimulants. The wind, water, the sun, warmth, the cold, everything is experienced through one's skin, the best way to experience 'mortal life', is to experience the little things that make life... life. This is something you'll see me play a lot into in threads.

#[ mini study. ] she always sought to make everyone happy and one must say: she had quite the gift for it.#[ i literally had more planned but then i got distracted on multiple occasions (i also forgot to use up my resin)... ]#[ and also it's 4:30am and so my brain has wandered off. ]#[ but i'll add more-- and also i'll elaborate on these as time passes. but i wanted those three out. ]#[ because i know before echoes of the heart/lantern rite 2023 happened; there was a bit of a different... perspective of her. ]#[ gentle. very sweet-- and all of that still remains to an extent. but i like the additions they gave her. ]#[ as a friend of mine affectionately put it once; 'i like that she's super sweet but also a little shit' 😂 but it's true. ]#[ but hoyo kind of showed that. ]#[ when she's opposite cloud retainer and morax in EotH? she's so... 'proud' isn't quite right but i'll use it for now. ]#[ when the obscuro vulpes 'wins'-- she's so excited. she's thrilled. she loves to win. ]#[ but it's endearing. like cloud retainer literally says it too. ]#[ on at least two occasions. ]#[ when she stands opposite of ping? hands on her hips. she's challenging her. she's stubborn. ]#[ i /love/ those additions. they make her oddly human for a god. and i love that considering how they ingrained her into liyue. ]#[ and what she represents (the arc of multiple of them going to live among the mortals as she once did. ]#[ but any way. yes. hello. ]#[ also i have so much more to say about her name; but it's saddening because if you think about the fact that 'guili' likely comes from...#[ partly her name and then morax'. so because then it's like... she had her civilization before the guili assembly. ]#[ and was said to have been adored by her people; if they learned she was the god of 'dust'-- her name makes perfect sense. ]#[ but then god; the name of the plains becomes increasingly depressing. ]#[ like we know canonically she herself refers to them as the plains of returning and departing but man. talk about mortality. ]#[ talk about the stupid pain that's linked to a god bearing a name that is inherently linked to... death. 'the end'. ]#[ while gods are supposed to be immortal. heck; they still say 'gods never die'. that's depressing. ]#[ it's fine. i'm fine. ]#[ hi guys; i tag ramble too much. welcome. <3 ]
