There is also supposed to be a social media blackout, supposed to be "IPOC" posting only (so Liz Warren can still do it?)
one more thing, this has been going around for awhile and i thought i’d share this on here as well ! :) October 12 is Indigenous People’s Day and people are saying that if you ARENT indigenous, do not post on that day because it’s a blackout for us :)
— Layla (@layyllawastaken) October 10, 2020
this is to spread awareness of what has been happening in the Native American Culture :) it’s also for the non-ipoc (indigenous people of color) to listen to us & stay quiet. that is what the blackout is for !! it’s also for us to reclaim what we have lost :)

The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent

Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

I find a lot of Native American culture to be hauntingly beautiful, and that's not an uncommon sentiment, appreciation of it actually crosses a lot of political lines. So the mystery is: why are so many "Indigenous Peoples Day" memes so cheesy?

(Mho, so far from what I've read by her, Prof. Thompson is a real pill, an Inspector Javert type who thinks anyone who wants to own art or antiques has criminal intent and needs to be thoroughly investigated to the ends of the earth. Better yet, if they're not Marxist, just prosecute them and lock em up , lock their culturally appropriating asses up. But that's another thing. A lot of archeologist types think like that, they think only they should get to touch the antiques, yo see....)

The point of posting the above: in case you haven't paid attention, like it or not, this is the type of thing the children have been learnin in college for at least the past couple decades. And this is also the kind of thing that gets you tenure, you have to have the right message to your research.

Cuomo's message in the video is very savvy. In pointing to "look we have this other Italian-Catholic-Immigrant American we can honor," it's also basically pointing out how rage protesting is often stupidly divisive and counterproductive, how it's better to look outside the box to go high when others go low and try to unite or at least not irritate another "tribe."

Alright, who was this Mother Cabrini, and what were her tawdry little secrets? Ever since wasshisname, right, Christopher Hitchens, trashed Mother Teresa with "where's all the donations?" (and frankly since I read All the King's Men), I realize there's something on everyone.

should that be the case, for one thing fugged what I said about Cuomo going high, I think he might punch em in the eye don't you dare say that about my mudder
But yeah, there are no real human heeeroes, it's all a crock.Use the figure of an actual human being as a symbol, it's a given that someone's going to want to contradict that symbol with truth of their human foibles.
Edit to add: you can move away from the iconoclasm/statue thing here and move on to other kinds of symbol making: I.E. saints defrocked of sainthood for one reason or another at different points in time...

I would miss the statue of Columbus in Barcelona overlooking the harbor. What could replace? Franco? Picasso? Nothing.
by PeraclesPlease on Tue, 10/13/2020 - 2:10pm
Picasso obviously. Who better to replace Columbus than a likely pedophile. Arta would probably know more about those allegations than I. I only have an amateur's knowledge of art and artists.
by ocean-kat on Tue, 10/13/2020 - 3:24pm
Picasso qualifies these days for cancellation for being mentally abusive to women , a #MeToo problem, he liked them young but of age. (I think what people don't get is it probably wasn't a feminist issue, as he was abusive to everyone, the more you were around him, the more abuse!)
by artappraiser on Tue, 10/13/2020 - 6:12pm
But he was never called an asshole (at least not in New York)

Isn't the story that he groomed a 14 year old but waited until she was legal age of 16? While technically he waited until she was of age it's still child sexual abuse in my mind. Though again I've never looked deeply into the story I read some years ago so I have no opinion as to it's veracity. I read a lot so I come across information but I don't always research every story to get the details.
by ocean-kat on Tue, 10/13/2020 - 7:18pm
I think you're referring to Marie-Therese Walter. That's the only one of his many paramours that was extra young, he really didn't have pedophilic tendencies, he just found her very inspiring as an example of youthful female fertility, his paintings of her reflect that. She was very naive and uneducated but basically all the others were not. I guess you could say he liked to explore all the different sides of the feminine. He was very self-centered, that's for sure; his women were not chosen to be equals. And honestly, an equal partner for someone like him would be hard to find and if managed, there'd probably be explosions every day and they'd end up killing each other.
by artappraiser on Tue, 10/13/2020 - 7:48pm
p.s he trusted her more than the others with personal stuff precisely because she had a dull intellect! He was a user, self-centered.

Until one looks at that map, one has no idea how tribal the human race once was.

Yes, and most of those tribes were at war with their neighbors. It was a comparably low tech low death count war with bows and spears instead of guns and bombs but war none the less.
