all of my love to the chileans and those in the southern cone in general who have to deal with the increase of usamerican nationalism on the eleventh of september, which also serves as the anniversary of the us-backed chilean coup, which marked the beginning of the arrest, murder, torture, and disappearance of thousands of people

Letter from a daughter to her disappeared-detainee dad. Circa 1973. Chile.

Dear Daddy:

I am sad because you’re not coming, daddy, I love you so so much, I’m waiting for you, because you’re good and not bad. Poor daddy. I remember you so much and I love you more.

Daddy, in school I got good grades and I study very hard, so you don’t have a lazy daughter, mommy says I have to be well-behaved and study a lot so you can come home. Lulu (her sister) and I don’t know why they took our daddy. Our mommy says that when we grow up we will understand, that now we are little and we gotta study.

I love you so much, and when you come back, we’re going out to play, with my sister we can’t be happy because you’re far away, I caught mommy crying, but she says it’s nothing. We are all sad.

A hug and a kiss from your daughter.

Little duck.

Sin perdón ni olvido.

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

#9/11 #serious post #not a shitpost #this should be one of the first things kids learn when they learn about the 9/11 attacks #politics #this is just...it's such an essential and brazen fact and i rarely see basic outrage over it #i want outrage. i want fury. i want disgust over the way fundamental facts are disguised and discarded and downplayed #because there are things we should KNOW. basic fact we should ALL KNOW. and they are tucked away in the footnotes.#and no this is NOT to put the blame on other middle eastern countries #we know this was carried out by a specific terrorist organization not a national government #but King George the Second decided (and was encouraged by his cabinet!) to invade a nation!#a nation that was not at all related or responsible!!!#a dictatorship to be sure--but a dictatorship that King George the First had been happy to support #so what changed? why did we go in guns blazing to DEMOLISH a country *we had NO PLANS OF REPAIRING*???#well. because they wanted a villain didn't they. a nice clean war. clarity of purpose. us the heroes against them the villains #and when you're in that mindframe--truth is irrelevant. you can pick your villain (your victim) by rolling a roulette wheel #truth is irrelevant #worse: to the people in charge #truth is a HINDRANCE #'Alternative facts' existed long before it became a catchphrase #facts don't matter. truth doesn't matter. the impulses of a handful of volatile & rich & power-high people--that's History. congratulations

Middle school, especially Gotham Academy, can be the worst but they got each other.

#dc #SoA AU #robin #batfam #jason todd #tim drake #my art #theyre brothers #ride or die bitches that can't do anything not intensely #They met when Jason was 11 and Tim 9 (my other Sons of Anarchy posts has more about them)#the NPC comment was inspired by a 5th grader who put 'i like NPCs' on a post it note on someones back idk why but I think it was devastating #I literally threatened to quit my job if they moved me to the middle school (it was for a lot of reasons but a big one was that Middle schoo #is the worst)

JJBA part 6 was a good time. the real bizarre thing about this one was that lax prison dress code.

I feel like I always sound like a crazy person when I try to describe to younger people that if you were under the age of 14 or so in 2001, 9/11 coping fanart was absolutely a fucking thing and there was a ton of it.

Here are Neopets screenshots. I'm not crazy

imho the tragedy of britta perry is that a lot of the time she was RIGHT but she was based off the creator’s ex girlfriend so the narrative always treated her like she was wrong

#the cops DO say that your car trunk has something to do with 9/11 it’s called the patriot act #which is an excuse for cops and other law enforcement to do whatever they want in the name of antiterrorism #but also abed’s face alsmbfkbwkdhk #britta perry #community

I hope that no one takes the posts that I reblogged as meaning that I don't care about what happened on 9/11 in the USA. I remember being 3 years old and watching television and not understanding what was happening but crying when I saw so much suffering.

However, I do believe that it is important to give MUCH more visibility to the military coup in Chile than what the media gives it on this date (Both happened on the same day, different years). It is worrying how the entire world only talks about what happened in the USA while many, including the gringos themselves, do not even know what their own government did not only in Chile but throughout Latin America. The millions of dead and missing people that affect us to this day. Look for Operation Condor if want to know what happened here not that long ago.

"Never forget" seems like a phrase only applicable to the United States and the rest of the "first world", while the crimes committed here by their imperialist governments seem irrelevant in their school history books.

#chile #9/11 #11/9 #I #If no tragedy is more relevant than the other #why is only one of these two receiving attention?#Im not saying that one tragedy is more important #I saying that historically speaking the media makes it look like that #golpe de estado #allende #pinochet #911 #september 11 #latinoamerica #Operation Condor

So question for all the non-Americans in my follower base, do you guys have a group of historical figures that your country’s culture associates with patriotism to the point they’re almost deified? Like in America, we have the Founding Fathers, and I feel like every American knows all about that whole group, along with a sort of mythos surrounding them (like Ben Franklin’s key on the kite or Washington’s Cherry Tree or even Lincoln’s Log Cabin, although thats technically real).

Do other countries have that for their historical figures?

#i feel like this might be a bit of a dumb question #because america is all about jingoistic patriotism #and i was 6 when 9/11 happened so that was ramped up even more #but im curious if other countries have this

If you’ve already answered this then no worries, but what would the typical clan cat lifespan be then (assuming they don’t die prematurely from injury/illness). Just curious as to how many generations have passed since the clan’s founding in the 80 or so years.

Clan cat lifespans can be pretty variable! They're considered senior warriors at 5, but if all works out their lifespan is often 16 years. Kittens usually enter the picture for a parent who is 2 to 8 years old, but they COULD have them anywhere between 1 to 15.

Clan cats play less attention to raw age than to EXPERIENCE, though. It is socially discouraged for a fresh warrior to become a parent, and you are NOT an adult until you're out of apprenticeship. They see age like this;

Child: Less than 6 full moons SEEN. If a kitten's eyes were not opened when the first moon of their life passed over them, that is not a month they were alive.

Adolescent: The amount of time you are an apprentice. Flamepaw was considered a child while his sister was an adult.

Young Adult: The first full year out of apprenticeship, when you've handled a full year on your own. A warrior is only eligible for an apprentice after this length of time, so by extension a cat COULD be a mentor around age 2 (BUT that's considered young. 3 is a better bet.)

Adulthood is even more variable, because you're usually not considered "aged" until you've had an apprentice or a litter and you're around 5 years old. Without either of those things, you often won't be considered a "senior warrior" until you're as old as 8.

So to answer your question directly, you can comfortably estimate a new crop of warriors about every 5 years, and full population turnover every 15. Between the numbers, 8 is a good estimation of how long it takes for a generation to pass

(Though I'm more partial to historic events and time periods than crunching numbers like that)

Elders can hang on for a LOOONG time though-- One-eye over in ThunderClan was a personal friend of Pinestar and witnessed the Crusades before passing away at the tender age of 20-something.

#clan culture #better bones au #Age #It's good to remember that population isn't like salmon who die when they have kids #Gen X Millenials Z and Alpha are all coexisting right now #And imo the distinctions between the generations have much more to do with what we grew up with #I'm a lot more fond of the benchmark ''do you remember a time before 9/11'' to separate Millenials and Z for example #Rather than the imo silly division of the year 2k #One of those is much more meaningful to how you developed as a person than the other imo #A SECOND TREE HAS HIT THE RIPPLESTAR
