Mexico Memories 2021, not 2020 🇲🇽

SH -IGS Posted 7th February 2024

SH becomes more nostalgic as he ages or he’s drinking too much tequila. It doesn’t have many activities.So there is plenty of time for ruminating.

He visited Mexico in 2021 and 2022 in a row and this photo of drinking Batanga was in July 2021 in La Capilla (Jalisco) It was not in 2020

Does MN want to revisit Mexico too? 🇲🇽

@kaatje62 I have written about this trip in previous posts. Sam has visited Mexico 3 years in a row, the first was in February 2020, returning to Mexico 🇲🇽 in July 2021 with MN and AN and in August 2022. SH’s photo is from July 2021 in La Capilla Tequila-Jalisco. The UK government in 2021 told people not to travel to "green list" countries (Mexico) except for essential reasons. His travel was not essential. For him, and his friends all travel is essential. A tourist who believed that travel restrictions did not apply to him in Mexico.

M.N. doesn't remember when he was one of the Three Stooges in Mexico during the pandemic 😷 SH, MN and AN were the figures of irresponsible men with a lack of discipline, reckless and risky behaviour, the perfect COVIDIOTS.

The Mexican government emphasised persuasion for people to follow coronavirus restrictions, with mandatory mask-wearing in public and closed spaces and social distancing.

It may have been three years since the pandemic but selfish attitudes are not forgotten. His stupidity was spreading as fast as the coronavirus pandemic, but there will never be a vaccine for his woke stupidity.

The Three Stooges - SH-MN-AN

@imahalfemptykindofgirl Yeah! SH had his best moment in Mexico before using the country as a back door to enter the United States.

@frenchyses Woke stupidity, in this case it is about stupidity and excesses - it the faculty of thinking in delicate aspects, stupidly, they do not adhere to the rules and refuse to consider them, thinking in their own perspective, and their actions just show that they are just a pretty stupid.

@frenchyses Perhaps you have your definition of "woke", but, this has nothing to do with activist rights or umbrella term for political platforms. Woke stupidity and excesses is a term that extends, more precisely, to define people far more prone to idiocy than is desirable - irrational is always stupid, in the course of action over time, is about human behaviour, nothing else.

@frenchyses The etymology is different. But you still haven't clarified your doubts. —-First was the word woke and then idiocy. All answers were about a whole action. The term idiocy, used is an extremely stupid behavior. It was an explanation but it is also a definition of human stupidity that reveals its own insufficiencies, that’s what it’s about not idiocy. The actions are not beyond the imagination.

@frenchyses As I mentioned earlier and would like to emphasise again, the issue I am discussing has nothing to do with political activism. It is simply about the difference in etymology between the words "stupid" and "idiot".

The word "stupid" originates from the Latin word "stupere" which means "to be amazed or stunned, to be astounded", while the word "idiot" comes from the Greek word "idios" which means "own, private, layman, ignorant person".

This is primarily a discussion about reasoning, human behaviour and different ways of thinking, rather than a matter of social justice, as that is not the focus of my notes.

So, a stupid person is a person, whose thought flow is blocked by some internal or external event, for example by the “wow effect”. This state is usually recoverable.

On the other hand, an idiot is someone whose thought flow is blocked by his Ego / Superiority, flow is not only blocked but cannot change. Due to his behaviour, he cannot change himself due to ignorance. It is very difficult to recover from this state for a given individual. That’s what Dunning–Kruger effect.

@frenchyses None of this is superfluous, in this case, In a literal manner, it is associated with a person in a situation: the pandemic, which exacerbated and accelerated trends, increasing very unintelligent behaviour, and unwillingness to learn. The probability that a certain person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

Pluto through zodiac signs in history ☄️

Hi my loves!💕 Today I bring something a litte bit different than usual, myfrustrated career was historian like my mum but end up being the witch of the family, so let's combine and explore today two of my favorite things: astrology and history. Pluto is now entering the sign of Aquarius after more than 200 years and we can see it's effects starting in society. Pluto takes between 12 to 32 years to transit a sign so it creates a generational and collective energy to deal with.

Pluto is the planet of transformation and renewal, it brings destruction to the old and useless and he does it in an explossive and dramatic way, so if you take a look through history with the "astrologer glasses" you can see how pluto works in every sign and his impact in every generation.

If you want to know more about Pluto archetype I'll leave a link to my post about it here

Pluto in Pisces- From 1798 to 1823

The old empires were falling down opening the road for the Napoleonic empire, a complete opposite form of goverment than what there was before. People were open to accept other people outside of prejudices, well... it was still 19th century, at least they weren't cutting heads anymore so let's give them a chance 🤷‍♀️. Socialism was implanted in Europe through these decades and started the Romantic artistc movement too, there were also huge progress in medicine and the study of nature. Edgar Allan Poe was born with this placement.

Pluto in Aries - From 1821 to 1852

Well... If you know a little about astrology you might expect this. This Pluto transit is the generation of pioneers and revolucionaries, through these years is easy to see a lot of independence movements, mostly in America like the independence of Mexico from Spain the 24th of february of 1824. In this season, regions under the control of unfair leaders started fighting for their rights and their recognition, they were looking for freedom from their opressive politics, on Europe started the spring of nations giving way to a series of riots and revolutions . There was a massive industrial developmentn and as a random fact there were also brutal vocanic explossions.

Pluto in Taurus - From 1853 to 1884

This was a time for a process of unify and stabilize, the people from this transit started to explode the resources that the earth had to provide us, the famous "gold fever" was very strong through these decades. The new politic movements that started with Pluto in Aries begins to solidify and get a more stable structure, there was an amazing economical growth and many agrarial and industrial reforms. There were also a lot of earthquakes that left terrible consequences like the one that happened in Japan on November 11th. These times also promoted materialism and the personal enjoyment, self benefit over the common good.

Pluto in Gemini - From 1882 to 1914

This was a generation for the intellect, new ways of communication and travel began to see the light. In terms of knowledge people wanted to look deeper in the meaning of things, the was a lot of new discoveries and progress about science and psychology. We also had the beginings of the sufragist movement looking for the right of women for education. There was a rise on realism artistic movement over the previous romantisism. In 1888 we had the unfamous Jack the ripper on England and his creepy cards to the police, I see this like the worst face of Pluto in Gemini, that terrible man rejoicing himself in his destructive behaviors (Plutonian) through cards making fun of the police (I always associate writting to Gemini or air signs in general). In general, through this Pluto's transit peopple gave more importance to intellect and rational fact over emotions.

Pluto in Cancer - From 1914 to 1939

The right of women to vote in Luxemburg or the vote for the universal sufragge in Belgium in 1919 are good examples for me of this placement. Cncer is Divine Femenine energy and through these decades the role of women in society is forced to be recognized, not just by the feminist movement but because they are needed for working after the loss of many men that were in World War I. There were also a lot of pacific movements like Ghandi and his hunger strike in India ( I don't like this man but at least he did something important avoiding armed conflicts). This was a time where family roots and homeland had a lot of importance in society and this gives also importance to nationalist political movements. Have in mind that people from this transit had very difficult circumstances, WW1 started on 1914 and WW2 started on 1939, many dictatorships started to form through these years.

Pluto in Leo - From 1937 to 1958

Obviously this Pluto's transit brought up a lot of megalomaniac dictators, charismatic leaders that looked like the answer to the problems of the population and ended up being extremly dangerous, starving for power and dominance over the weak and minorities. I'm not going to talk about the man we all know from WW2, I'm going to talk about the Spanish one that was terrible too. In Spain was imposed franco regime, this man orchestrated a coup d`état (<-sorry that was what google translator told me) that led to a civil war where he told to kill a lot of people that were againts him through that war and when he was ruling the country (search about Federico Garcia Lorca, he was an incredible writer with an awesome future, he was killed by Franco´s order). He was the dictator of Spain for a lot of years, he heelped Mossolini and Hitler on some ocasions, as a random fact, some says that when Hitler met Franco he said he would do anything to never spend again a minute with Franco. To end up this transit right lets say that we also had a lot of iconic stars like Marilyn or Elvis, they are literal icons even today.

Pluto in Virgo - From 1956 to 1972

Like Virgo always does, Pluto in this sign tried to clean out the disasters of it's previous transit and put a little order to the chaos. On this transit appeared a lot of reforms and remodeling to clear up the situation and see what really works for population, after years of fear and chaos people were yearning for some social order and peace. The bad part about this... segregation and the start of cold war. Goverments tried to recollect information to use it againts other goverments, the race for the space and all the mechanichal improvements, but also there was a change in the population`s habits giving more importance to health and diet, recognizing that tools and resources that everybody used had toxic or harmful components, for many people with this placement bad aspected I've seen they have a weird but effective way of taking care of their body. Also there was a rise for careers related to health or mechanics through these years.

Pluto in Libra - From 1971 to 1984

This was a time for recognizing human rights and fight againts unjustice, society was involved in too many conflicts and this generation tried to redirect the focus to peace and diplomacy. New agreements related to marriage and divorce, in some countries divorce was illegal, so this also helped to break some toxic traits related to the expectations about marriage, in general there were new ways to understand realtionships. There was also a revalorization of art and recognition to some artist that were left aside. People started to unify as a collective to fight against the unfair and began to give more importance to equal rights, also to the beauty of nature like in Sempember of 1978, that year Quito, the capital of Ecuador became the first place to be into the World heritage.

Pluto in Scorpio - From 1983 to 1995

Our millennial generation! We have a lot to thank to this generation tbh. This Pluto transit appeared to break with many society taboos, making people emphathize with the ones who didn't had a voice before. In this transit people started to loose fear about death and sex, mostly for women who had been repressed the years before. Of course, there were sexual transmitions diseases but in this time people started to give it the proper importance to these kind of issues. Pluto is related to nuclear energy and in 1986 the world had to see Chernobyl and it's disastrous consequences, but remember too that many countries on those decades were making nuclear tests that also left terrible ressults for humanity. (if you like to there's a documentary on Netflix called 'dark tourist', in one of the episodes they go to a lake made out of an atomic explosion). As a random fact, through this transit appeared a lot of serial killers with sexual overtones.

Pluto in Sagittarius - From 1995 to 2008

How are you my fellows Sag Plutos? This transit came with massive existencial crisis where people stopped believing what others said it was good or bad, even more if that good or bad was written thousands of years ago. This generation learned to live life by their own philosophy instead of following religious beliefs, experience as a way of understanding. People from this generation are more open and prone to look for answers in different places because of the dissapointment with the previous beliefs systems. Through these years we can also see a decline in the main religions, people are not willing anymore to accept other's imposed truths without looking for the logic, but we have to say that it also brought religious radicalism. People from this generation are more open to new ways of experience spirituality and give human existence a meaning, this generation is open to things like meditation, astrology, chakras... The worst aspect of this transit would be that everyone wants to be heard but just a little are willing to listen.

Pluto in Capricorn - From 2008 to 2023

Well, this transit started hard with the global economical crisis of 2008, scandals about corruption in politics and banks, our sight of authority figures is not the same as before because all these scandals and the ones in the past, basicaly we don't fully trust our authority figures. People through this transit got a little obsessed about power, money and their social position but it also brought a lot of new jobs and ways of earning money and fame never seen before. Have you noticed how extremes has politics become lately? Also, public cancellations could have something to do with this transit? Like cancelling, somehow destroying (pluto) someone publicly ( Cap also rules our public image) Idk, let me know what you think about this because Capricorn is complex 🤔. Something curious about this placement is that people are trying to be their own bosses and work for themselves instead of working for others.

Pluto in Aquarius - From 1778 to 1798 (2023 to 2044 aprox)

Pluto is now on Aquarius, the last time it was there we had the French revolution, this year we have riots in France again. French revolution started because of unjustice and inequality, while the royalty were surrounded by luxury normal people were struggling to supply their basic needs, maybe a little like now?. Pluto also entered Aquarius in 2020 and we had a global crisis too. The good thing about this transit was that the century of the lights started with it, Pluto in Aquarius helped to develop critical sense and thinking, the circumstances made them focus on their unfair reality and how they could improve it for the common good. On 1791 Olympe de Gouges published the declaration of the rights of women as a response to the declaration of the right of men on 1789, defying the male supremacy of that time (she was a Taurus sun btw). We know what happened then, we'll see what it has for us now.

Please, feel free to add any other historic event and their pluto's transit, I would love to know what you think.

Let me know if you would like to know more about long transit planets and its impact in society through history.

Thank you

~ Lala 💖

American Snout Butterfly (Libytheana carinenta)

Distribution: Found from Argentina to the southern USA, including Mexico and the West Indies. Migrates to the eastern USA, as far north as the Great Lakes region, as well as to central California, southern Nevada and Colorado.

Habitat: Usually found in forest clearings and edges, brushy fields, thorn scrub and roadsides.

Diet: Adults feed on nectar; common hosts include dogbane, aster, dogwood, goldenrod, sweet pepperbrush, etc, with a preference for white or yellow flowers. Larvae feed on the young foliage of hackberry trees, especially the common hackberry tree.

Description: The American snout butterfly's nose is actually its mouthparts, called labial palps. These elongated mouthparts are used in camouflage, as the butterfly will rest with its head pointed downwards, its snout imitating the petiole of a dead leaf.

These butterflies are migratory. Their native range includes the majority of South and Central America, as well as the southern USA; they travel northwards, sometimes in such large numbers that they darken the sky. These migrations are thought to be triggered by droughts, which pose dangers for the butterflies in the form of parasitoids and limited food sources. Inversely, the presence of heavy rain usually prompts a large amount of egg-laying, causing populations explosions.

IRVA (International Remote Viewing Association, Alamogordo, New Mexico)

Ingo Swann was the discoverer and original developer of the remote viewing protocol. Already a widely-collected artist and an accomplished intuitive, Mr. Swann remote viewed the interior workings of a sophisticated quark detector in the physics department at Stanford University, the report of which attracted the interest of the CIA and led to the founding of the consciousness research program at SRI-International from which the military remote viewing program later sprang. Mr. Swann worked with Dr. Harold Puthoff at the SRI lab to create controlled remote viewing (CRV), which provides the foundation for the majority of remote viewing methods in use today, none of which has been able thus far to surpass it in effectiveness.

Mr. Swann will present a two-part lecture on the history and practice of remote viewing. His historical lectures, titled 'Remote Viewing Viewed from the Outside' and 'Remote Viewing Viewed from the Inside', promise to be exciting and informative.

Bill Eagles

Since the 1970s, the American secret service has been intensively researching the existence and possible use of paranormal techniques in intelligence gathering and psychological warfare. The result of years of US Government-funded research at the renowned Stanford Research Institute (SRI) is the technique of Remote Viewing. This technique makes it possible to recognize and describe in detail things, persons, events and places independent of local and temporal boundaries. Dozens of military personnel have been trained as Remote Viewers. The work of these PSI agents is documented in detail in this film. For the first time, Pentagon and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) senior officers, Stanford Research Institute (SRI) scientists and Remote Viewers talk about the amazing success of this secret military development.

Magnetometer Experiment with Ingo Swann (April 1976)

In early April 1973, in an effort to emerge from the daily boredom of repetitive testing, Ingo Swann suggested that the he and the SRI team once in a while do something far out, something that might reintroduce a sense of adventure, excitement, and enjoyment.

The planet Jupiter was literally far out. NASA had earlier launched Pioneer 10 and 11 to fly-by that planet, and information telemetered back by the two crafts would undergo technical analyses. Information from Pioneer 10 would commence in September 1973.

The only real difference between Jupiter as a “target,” and mundane target objects in the next room, was its distance from Earth. But for Ingo Swann there was another difference. It would be exciting to try to extend one’s ESP to the planet, a form of remote viewing. Jupiter was more remote than the next room—and there might be a thrill of “traveling” in interplanetary space.

Are they seriously going to do interviews every single day for the next month? (It looks like they are doing press today as well, so are they working on weekends as well?)

And the few days they won’t do interviews they will be traveling across the world.

This sounds like too much…like, I can’t imagine them doing interviews on February 29th after 28 days straight of press…

That doesn’t sound healthy

I don’t think they work on weekends, they seem to now have time off till Mexico, probably do some press there ,they did 2 days of press in LA so far and then I assume a few days in Europe. But yeah with all the travelling is gonna be long, these press tours are draining

a timeline of major events leading up to and following the mormon rebellion

1839- the mormons, fleeing missouri, start their own super special theocratic city state of nauvoo

july 1844- having a super special theocratic city state culminates in its mayor-prophet-general being murdered

still 1844- after a struggle between different factions over succession, brigham young becomes the new president of the church and prophet. planning starts as to Where To Go and How

1846- the trip to utah starts and they winter in omaha

1847- HELL YEAH DESERET FOREVER BABY! time to establish a theocracy in the desert in that area that mexico owns on paper, but really, GOD owns it ;)

february 1848- control of deseret is officially transferred to the united states in the aftermath of the mexican american war

later 1848- young and his associates draft a petition to the US government for a territorial government headed by himself and others. they don't end up submitting it to the united states government, though, because of fears that a territorial government would not give them enough freedom. they will wait it out for either statehood or independence

1849- the government is declared as "the free and independent state of deseret" to remain so until the united states admits them as a state. which especially pre civil war would have given them a TON of leeway over what they're allowed to do. like keep a lot of their We're a Desert Theocracy With a Governor-President-Prophet in Charge!

1850- the us government doesn't care about your desert theocracy or the name you want to give it. you're the territory of utah and you're gonna LIKE IT! we'll let you keep your guy as governor though. i guess

1850-1851- non-mormons traveling to oregon and california winter in utah and have a Very Bad Time. people are not nice to them. the court system is BAD and the systems are rigged against the federal officers brought in to do these jobs.

brigham young tries to rally the different native american tribes in the region to his cause, because mormon theology teaches that they're also lost israelites. but he didn't consider any of their actual motivations or try to cater to those so beyond a few conversions and some fair weather friends who will work with anyone for the most money, he gets No Alliances TM

1852- polygamy is PUBLIC now! orson pratt let the rest of the world know that it's a thing we do and now we have to publicly defend it! ruh roh

1856- HEYOOO WE'RE DOING RELIGIOUS REVIVAL! right here! right now! you're confessing to sins! and you're confessing to sins! and YOU'RE confessing to sins! ones you probably didn't commit! heyooo come get your charismatic revivalism. time to atone for your sins with blood and then you'll get into heaven!

there were quite a few different recorded murders of mormons trying to leave at this time, including the famous parrish murders, where a father and one of his sons were killed trying to leave the territory. the other son escaped and ran to his uncle's, where he had to pretend nothing happened.

1857- mr. young you have been removed as governor of this territory, effective immediately.

brigham young: actually we are our OWN country none shall pass through our lands without a permit and we totally have talked to all of the native american tribes and they all will do exactly as i ask and i only hold them off as a gesture of goodwill ;) (this is not accurate! and we all know that!)

september 1857- this was the mountain meadows massacre. i'm not going to try to make a joke about the mountain meadows massacre because from around a hundred and twenty people traveling from arkansas to oregon were murder in cold blood AFTER they surrendered to the mormon militia. there isn't a single joke to be made here, and this event was covered up in various forms for a very long time.

the mormon militia burns and destroys US military supplies as the military escort comes with the new governor.

the church forces residents of the north and salt lake city to relocate south with the intention of destroying the settlements to make a statement. while they don't end up following through with the plan to destroy these homes, the forced relocation still happens.

when the military and the new governor arrives, the new governor decides to be The Lamest Stooge to Ever Lame. and basically lets brigham young tell him what to do and what to say, continuing a very similar line of power to what was already there. not to mention the presidential pardon that young and all involved got for most of the Illegal Dealings that they participated in that are known at the time.

the military isn't able to stay very long because the president has decided that accepting the "new governor" is basically enough, and with the looming threat of a proper civil war (which is just on the cusp of breaking out) there's not enough resources to expend on utah.

a judge tries very hard to uncover the truth of what happened at mountain meadows, which has been blamed entirely on native americans (only a few of which participated, all as free agents separate from a tribal affiliation) and he's not able to make things happen before the military is entirely recalled and along with that, any authority he had to make these things happen.

he DOES go on to help found nevada and take a large swath of territory out of brigham young's gaping maw, though, so that's. something.

i need to do more research from some additional sources but like. jesus CHRIST the... everything here. it's just so much

1877- brigham young finally drops dead and loosens his hold on the territory of utah

Cabsweek2023

Hello, everyone!

If you're here from the archive blog just know how much I appreciate you.

Cabs week is a three caballeros event week/prompt challenge that I am trying to make annual!

The dates have been changed if you saw the old post. The original timeline included the actual debut of the movie in Mexico, however, that places us squarely at Christmas which is a very busy time for a lot of people.

The dates are now Friday January 27th-Friday February 3rd, ending on the US release of the movie and squarely avoiding the holidays! (also starting on my best friend's birthday so happy early birthday, Lizard)

This means we'll be skipping Cabsweek2022 altogether! Whoops! #Cabsweek2023 it is!

Prompts are based on my Josepan ship playlist this time around because I am self indulgent:

Set in the Ducktales 2017 universe the loosely constructed narrative of this playlist follows Jose and Panchito's stay in Baia as they try to get noticed. Panchito, an unhappy artist who never gave up on the dream and Jose a lonely romantic trying to get back on his feet still clinging to an old college flame.

Day one: Down the Road/Dear Fellow Traveler

Day Two: There's No Love in February/Those Were the Days

Day Three: Moonshine/Come Along

Day Four: The Good Part/Renee

Day Five: Honeybee/Build Me Up Buttercup

Day Six: Baia/Sober Up

Day Seven: Walking Back to Happiness/ I Don't Want to Set the World On Fire

Day Eight: Isn't this a Lovely Day/Home.

I'll be hosting from here: @imnotgrimimjustagrumpyreaper so please remember to tag me in anything you may post! I look forward to seeing it

Dates are January 27th/February 3rd

FUN FACT FRIDAY!!! What’s one fun fact about you that you haven’t shared with us yet? 💜

Ooh, fun ask, thanks Susie!

Hmm...fun fact? I work in hospitality and one of the perks of my job is free resort stays. It's the only way my husband and I are able to travel as much as we do. We can also be reimbursed up to $250 a year for travel expenses, such as rental cars or flights.

Because of this perk, we're able to travel at least 2-3x a year. In 2022, we were actually in San Francisco and then 3 weeks later in Myrtle Beach. Coast to Coast in under a month!

We try to space travel out, but some years, PTO gets rearranged and it just happens we travel in back to back months. Happened in 2020 as well where we were in Vermont and 2 weeks later we were in Pheonix, Arizona😅

This year we have 3 trips planned. Southern California was in February, Maine is in June, and Colorado is in July.

For 2025, it's up in the air depending on if we can get back into IVF or not. But I do know we'll be back in Southern California, likely in October. It's a destination we try to get to every year. This was our 4th year.

Some states I'd still like to see are Washington, Oregon, New Mexico, Montana, Louisiana, Idaho, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

Thanks again for the ask, this was a fun way to start my Friday! 😊

We Need To Talk...

this post does not contain or condone "jet tracking"

Taylor Swift owns a Dassault Falcon 900. This type of jet burns approximately 267 gallons of fuel per hour. Burning jet fuel results in around 21 lbs of CO2 emission per gallon. 267*21=5,607 lbs of CO2 per hour.

Based on candids alone - which means she could have made additional trips that she wasn't photographed at - here is the amount of CO2 Taylor has been responsible for emitting from her jet use in the last year, working backwards from the writing of this post.

Total = 1,055,830 lbs of CO2 full data below the cut

One of Taylor's representatives has claimed that Taylor purchased "more than double the carbon credits needed to offset all tour travel," but has not been transparent about the exact number. Regardless of how many offset credits she purchased, research points to these being basically useless. The Earth does not warm instantly in reaction to each ton of carbon dioxide, and the impact of CO2 can last thousands of years — much longer than any offset measures will last. As always, reducing air travel is the best way to reduce harm to the environment.

trips marked with * are tour dates

January 9 - NY <- January 7 - LA ~5.3 hours = 29,717 lbs of CO2

<- December 25-31 - KC ~3.75 h = 21,026 lbs of CO2

<- December 22 - NY ~3.5 h = 19,624 lbs of CO2
