The Netherlands (Holland) 🇳🇱

When the Euro was being designed, they intentionally placed illustrations of fictitious, non-existent bridges upon each paper note, as to not show priority toward one nation or another.

Or at least, they were fictitious... until the Netherlands decided to build all of them...

Confessions of a Burnt-Out Gifted Kid (part 1/?)

[VIDEO ID: A sketched figure, labelled “me now” looks to the side with a worried expression on their face. They say, “You don’t have to be perfect or exceptionally great. You don’t even have to be GOOD”. The scene changes and it shows a slightly younger-looking figure labelled “teenage me”. They look angrily off to the side and say, “But I do.” They point to themselves. “I have to be all of those things all of the time”. END ID]

(Inspired by this video)

I actually have great respect for usamericans and their love of the noble hamburger because we're just as fucking insane about pljeskavica over here.

#you order a 'small' pljeskavica. it's the size of your head.#the usa 🤝 the balkans: big meats #I don't trust the western euros to make good burgers though sorry.#sorry this post came out of nowhere I'm just hungry

the paradesi synagogue in kochi, kerala, india. the first synagogue on the site, built by the city's longstanding malabari jewish community, was destroyed by portugese who'd colonized the area in their persecution of locals. it was rebuilt in 1568 by spanish and portugese jews who fled persecution and later expulsion, hence the name "paradesi" ("foreign" in malayalam).

these sephardic jews and a community of jews of mixed african and european descent who were formerly enslaved ("meshuchrarim", "freedmen" in hebrew) joined the malabari jewish community of kochi and somewhat integrated. they were later joined by some iraqi, persian, yemenite, afghan, and dutch sephardic jews. the middle eastern and european jews were considered "white jews" and permitted malabari jews and meshuchrarim to worship in the synagogue. however, in what seems like a combination of local caste dynamics and racism, malabari jews were not allowed full membership. meshuchrarim weren't allowed in at all, but were instead made to sit outside during services and not allowed their own place of worship or other communal rights.

as the "white jews" tended to be rather wealthy from trade, this synagogue contains multiple antiquities. they include belgian glass chandeliers on its walls, hand-painted porcelain tiles from china on its floors, and an oriental rug that was gifted by ethiopian emperor haile selassie.

#india #architecture #interior #worship #jewish #sephardic #mizrahi #abrahamic kerala #my posts #this seems like a combo of european racism & s asian casteism but idk anything abt castes so idk how right i am #imo the attitude of the paradesi sephardim sort of echoes what went on w/ portugese & st thomas christians #though they were also influenced by ''jewish racism'' (someone not being an ''authentic'' jew or 100% jewish in lineage)#also its interesting that most paradesi jews who left india went to other commonwealth countries while most malabar jews went to occupied #palestine (for the same reason indian muslims went to pakistan more or less). something something the west's unwanted refugee dumping groun #also i'm not saying the portugese didn't persecute against locals who practiced other religions just that there was a Very Specific type of #persecution st thomas christians and malabari jews faced from them #one more thing: i think most americans dont know (and western europeans like to forget) that the transatlantic slave trade went into #western europe as well. even if most w euro countries outlawed slavery before the us did #and also that ‘white’ has never had a linear definition (yemenites are very not ‘white’-looking to the average american)#its really interesting to me how the sephardim who ended up in w europe or euro colonies ended up being richer and more exclusionary than #balkan or most mena sephardim. probably bc more money = govts get off their backs

i think being on tumblr is slowly degrading my ability to argue effectively. i studied philosophy and argumentation/logic in higher ed for a long time and i used to be half-decent at putting forth well-reasoned, thorough, clear, articulate arguments. but now??

now, my response to everything is “hm okaye but what if I bit u?? >:)”

#shitpost #not good omens #to be fair philosophy as it’s taught in most euro-western institutions is barf #all the required courses were just old white men going ‘hm what if the universe is actually spaghetti?’#or philosophers just being capitalists (ayn rand) or racist dickshits (Hume)#“what if we should...wait for it...be nice to one another????”#“it only took me seventy years to come up with this brilliant idea that we should treat others with dignity”#and then all my profs would be like “god he was so smart and hot i want to suck his dick”#so I switched majors #lmao

and i gotta wonder do these ppl not realize this sort of mentality also hurts businisses??? it hurts ppl trying to make a living??

like you've got indigenous people for example making indigenous jewerly and clothing and selling it to people but youve straight up got ppl who arent indigenous afraid to buy it because some looney on the street will stare at them badly or yell at them or give them a woke 101 lecture and theyre supposed to do what agains that, keep the reciet that they bought said thing authentically on them just to not get shit?

#weve lost the thread so hard on what cultural appropriation actually means #i know ive talked abt this before on here extensively but it just keeps popping up and getting on my nerves #literally like everywhere in the world outside of like america snd western euro and whatever people are so happy to share their culture and #to see foreigners appreciating their culture. ive seen it over and over again #but here weve completely lost it on whats Actual appropriation and whats not

America: You want to stop racism? Stop talking about race. It’s that simple. Especially around children who aren’t in a history course.

You all sound like nazis with your obsession of race-based statistics and the upholding of the one-drop rule. If race isn’t real stop putting people into boundaries of fake American caste system and upholding those structures. History belongs in history courses. I don’t mention slavery every time I meet a Jewish person or Roman person, so stop with the obsession of your past when every country went through the same thing. It’s weird.

#Only thing white leftists and conservatives will agree on is putting people into strict hard-line groups regardless of a hierarchy #What is “clearly mixed” mixed race people come in all shades eyecolors and hair textures? Only half west African and half western Euros??#What is “Black culture” Billions of people do not and will never share a culture stop America-washing us #And African Americans and white Americans are the minority of Africans and whites and have more in common culturally than with us Africans #America-washing

the one thing ive always disliked about physical comics is that western comics never got argentina specific translations so they were always in neutral or european spanish

#some smaller western comics did get argie translations but anything marvel/dc/image/dark horse/etc only had euro editions #chizitxt

Imagine switching from a currency named after and illustrated with animals and plants characteristic for your country and holding mythological meaning unique to your region to one named Euro. I'd say couldn't be me but that's what's about to happen

#i hate you croatian euro coins you are ug #ly and i hate you #i hate you prices that have skyrocketed and will skyrocket even more with the currency change #also this means i will switch my commisson prices to euros so paypal won't charge conversion anymore. one bright point in this mess #eernatalk #imagine putting fucling tesla on your money and ignoring the million other things that are uniquely yours. god i hate westernization

one thing thats crazy to think about is how the japanese economy has not really grown past its peak in the early 90s, meaning that it has experienced three decades of stagnation. but it was so wealthy then that, even after thirty years without growth, it remains one of the worlds largest economies

#the economy isnt really enviable now and salaries are low by european standards #minimum wage in tokyo is about six euros an hour... but cost of living is also much lower by western european standards #my sense is that there are many aspects of the economy that are quite singular and hard to understand but seem to more or less work for the #m
