Centuries of History at the Twin Buttes Traditional Powwow

You haven’t always been able to attend the Twin Butte Traditional Powwow. But now you can. Only Since the 60s A couple of decades ago you would never find a local traditional powwow like this one at Twin Buttes.  They were illegal from 1900 until late in the last century.  That egregious law was overturned and now, communities such as Twin Buttes host spectacular weekends of color and…

the 2020s really seems to be about returning to old names for places

türkiye, chornobyl, aotearoa, Keev, Palastine (with a little ph sound) and Gaza but soudning like HUZZAH inshallah i hope we hesr the HUZZAH ring from gaza soon

So I have the headcanon that like for Pierre and Pierrot and le Gros and Petit Gros in real life le Teigneux and Petit Teigneux are 2 separate beings, father and son too, and it just happens the son looks and acts similarly to his father, and is the one we see in real life being part of the kids who listen to Maestro and attend Peter's class, he just imagines himself as an adult looking like his dad in the stories he hears or his dad himself when the 2 are featured. And even if we never see a Petit Nabot in the stories we can imagine since there is a kid looking like him in real life among those listening to Maestro and Pierre and imagining himself as an adult that he is different from le Nabot and could be his son even if in canon he has no kid, so like for Petit Teigneux he alternates between imagining himself grown and his dad

And it's funn because last night I has a dream that respectey HC and actually opened my eyes on a ship I actually did consider before shrugging it off because canon contrasted with it but now holy fucking shit it can fit

So in the dream Psi and Pierrot as kids have a kid crush on each other and as teens and young adults dated like we see in Il était une fois... la vie. Problem is Petit Nabot also crushed on Psi but secretly and just fantasizing only once like in that episode in which he does as Narive Americans (which had me root for him but alas) but that aside just played bullies with Petit Teigneux (who I suppose has a crush on Petite Pierrette since he often tries to woo her or Pierrette as adults in stories and is happily surprised when he gets his cheek kissed once). But the crush would NOT fade with age, on the contrary with puberty it woumd intensify with actual love and desire but also anger since she was with Pierrot. But in the dream, since after all one rarely stays together forever from childhood, Psi and Pierrot part ways to if I remember well live their own lives (new studies, or new work, or moving out). I suppose Petit Nabot JUMPS on his chance and moves in the town she moves in ("OH HI PSI IT'S BEEN LONG I DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE HAHA WHAT A COINCIDENCE) and perhaps Petit Teigneux made fun of him openly ("HAHA YOU SIMP"). I don't remember the details, just a few flashes but it was like Psi and him being the only 2 people from their childhoods knowing each other here they would instinctively see each other more (a reflex we have in an unknown place even if we weren't friends, humans love familiar faces), I think I even remember them cheering with 2 beers at a bar in a party, I suppose that far from the influence of Petit Teigneux and determined to please her NOT the good guy way but genuinely he would be less tricky (plus again it feels like neityer him or Petit Teigneux nor le Nabot and Teigneux are evil and just are depending of who they are as antagonists of authority figures in stories they imagine), and even if I don't remember well how she would end up falling in love back it does happen and himself could hardly believe it since he is used to be a karma slapstick antagonist in that universe real life included lol, if I remember well they even hug at some point. And something I do remember well ! A flashforward of him older like his dad is in real life and stories, waiting in a cold rainy street wearing a coat and mindlessly scrolling his phone before being joined by a 13 or 14 years old girl with a warm coat too, a purse/bag and looking like a FUCKING MIX OF HIM AND PSI (pretty with petite face traits, a small nose, manga eyes and dark skin like her, a red nose, pointy red hair and short like him) who seemed to be in a hurry as if late or knowing he had been waiting for her "hi dad !" "Ah, you're here." he puts his phone back in his coat, pats her head a little and holds her back as they go on with their day. Meaning that my dream fucking made them a fankid before I would even decide to ship it or not. Not precising if at this point they were married or divorced or never were married and just dated and broke up or if still dating but one thing is sure, they had a daughter

And while yesterday I'd have LAUGHED at you if you told me I'd ship it one day given how it comes out of nowhere (well not exactly out of nowhere he does crush on her in that one episode) and since she is officially with Pierrot and since it is quite cringey to imagine this ugly bastard and this pretty girl in some... situations (GEE THANK YOU DREAM I DID NOT NEED TO PICTURE HIM PLEASURING HER WITH HIS MOUTH YET YOU DID ANYWAY I DIDN'T MENTION IT EARLIER BECAUSE I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING AGAINST IT ALL DAY NOT TO SEE IT AGAIN SO NOW PEOPLE MUST SUFFER LIKE I AM I SAID SO), my dream fucking offered me a fanfic that fit my preexisting headcanon to make it work, even for how it ended with her and Pierrot without ruining their ship either. I love it when my brain does that and as much as I FOUGHT not to give in, it was too cute (THATSCENEASIDE) and too detailled/complete to ignore. Even a fanchild, can you imagine ?

So I am Bobo the clown and sorry to admit and hating myselg for being so weak and coming up with the weirdest ships no one else will agree with, I have a new crackpairing : Psi X (Petit) Nabot

10/27/2022:. We can talk crap about Jews all we want, but there are two very famous and intelligent: Jesus and Einstein. The best way to hate people is to not do business with them and hang out with them. Talk is cheap, action speaks louder. I too was hurt by a Jew (German-French homo Jew who worked as a manager at Starbucks who was there when I got a back sprain at work and failed to report it to H.R. even though I told him I have to go home because I just got I injured) so now I protest by not relying too much on gay people, Jew people, gay San Francisco where I got hurt, etc. I could be famous if I were on Twitter (based in San Francisco), or on Facebook (own by smart young Jew), or gain businesses by associating with gay people, but I chose to protest by not doing business with them and I no longer go to Starbucks. A lesbian Muslim boss at Starbucks hurt me too by failing to report my work injury when there's camera at the store to document my injury and I protest against Muslim people by trying to stay away from them as much as I can. Then I have tons other ethnicity who hurt me at Starbucks (assistant store managers, workers) who are Italian-latino, latino-narive-american, all color hair white whites. I too try not to do business with them. Now I only do business will the my kind and people I like even though I don't make much as a hardcore heterosexual human. Never will I spend a penny of my hard-earned and hard working money again on people who hurt me and people I don't like and never will they see my face in their areas again for i O.V.E.R. with them for they have nothing I need.

Between homework, work study, and volunteering I have somehow found time to go to Barnes and Noble.

My work study program is in the ancient collections on campus. So far we've been rephotographing and measuring marbles for cataloguing. We have a tube of ash from Vesuvius in the marbles collection, which I thought was really cool.

I started volunteering at the museum on campus again as well. I'm doing research for artist files that are lacking. The first artist I've been researching and reading about is Jayne Quick-To-See Smith, a Narive American artist. My favorite of her works is State Names, a representation of stolen land and identity of the people who were forced from it

I spent far too long trying to work on a paper for my Russian History class. This one was about two memoirs, Behind the Urals by John Smith and Journey into the Whirlwind by Eungina Ginzburg. Both take place during the Stalinist regime but both of these people have severely different attitudes towards Stalin and experience totally different worlds in one country.

My Barnes and Noble was a little treat yourself moment after my tax return came in. I walked out with Woman on Fire, a fancy copy of Black Beauty, a fancy copy of The Tales of King Arthur, Bright Ages, and The Library of the Dead.

So far I've gotten about a quarter of the way through the Library of the Dead and It's very good. Definitely a YA read but it's a good read when I don't want to focus on anything academic.

Unfortunately, because I've been so busy with classier I haven't been able to read it for a few days s And I still somehow haven't managed to read any of the book I need to have read for class tomorrow.

That's a tonight problem I suppose. But only after I finish my tea and watch The Picture of Dorian Grey for the billionth time.

1. Tayo's liminality is that he feels like he doesn't belong to either of his heritages or his family. Since childhood, Silko depicts Tayo's life as being abandoned my his parents and neglected by the auntie that raised him. He was treated differently because of his mix race during these times in the novel "Ceremony". Tayo struggles with finding his identity and he also struggles with PTSD after World War 2. 2. Tayo feels his liminality on page 61 in the novel "Ceremony". On this page the reader is informed of Tayo's shame of not having parents that appreciated him and causing his Auntie to not feel comfortable with him being around Rocky. 3. During WW2 the white despised Narive Americans. Tayo was both white and Native American and he appreciated his traditions with his native side and hated that his White aide was associated with hating his native side. In today's world I can make the analogy of Tayo's struggle being like the possible struggle of a biracial black and white individual. Facing the harsh reality of slavery blacks endured and also the reality that they have the genes of the ones that thought slavery was okay. Tayo is aware of the inequality Native American face in the eyes of whites and he tries to stay away from being influenced by those around him. He is in the pursuit of finding his own identity.
