gravedangerahead: tetrafelino: gregg-araki: losing my mind at this like. something not soooo fun was happening in brazil in the late 60s I can't… Christ. I’m just going to say this: when you’re a Brazilian kid learning about tropicália, when you first come into contact with the art, and you listen to the music and learn the history behind it all - all your world is grief and rage. The Brazilian art of that time are well disguised screams of agony, and when you live here and you know the history, you can feel it under your skin. The “fun” and “nonsensical” aspects were a shield against censorship, and they became so strongly related to the military repression and violence of the time that they’re almost synonymous with grief for loved ones, lost to the dictatorship without closure. The art wasn’t fun because artists’ lives were, but because they couldn’t survive it being anything else. That’s what tropicália was; being forced to grieve with a smile on your face. Moreover, members of Tropicalia who were not arrested or tortured, voluntarily escaped into exile in order to get away from the strict and repressing authorities. Many continuously went back and forth between different countries and cities. Some were never able to settle down. People like Caetano, Gil, and Torquato Neto, spent time in places like London, New York, or Paris.[14] Some, but not all, were allowed to return to Brazil after years had passed. Others, still could only stay for short periods of time. Fun time to be an artist in Brazil :)

northgazaupdates: northgazaupdates: northgazaupdates: Baby Ayla and her family were in their tent today when the IOF suddenly appeared and began firing on the tents. The family barely escaped with their lives, a bullet having narrowly missed baby Ayla’s head! They had to leave their tent and most of their possessions, which are now under IOF control and are irrecoverable. They are currently on the street, with no tent, no blankets, no food, and no clothes other than what they were wearing when they had to flee for their lives. They are literally just sitting in the dirt under the night sky. Ayla’s mother Bashaer @bshaeromars-blog is trying to get Ayla to sleep, but Ayla is too cold and uncomfortable. The low temperature in Gaza tonight is just 47 F or 8 C. They are starving, freezing, and totally without resources. They DESPERATELY need funds for a tent, food, and other basic necessities!! The tent alone is $3000 Currently: $40,469 New temporary goal: $43,469 USD Please send anything you can so baby Ayla and her family can survive the night!! Donate to Help my family escape Gaza, organized by Reem Shaheen Hello, my name is Reem. I have created this fundraiser in hopes to save my family members from… Reem Shaheen needs your support for Help my gofundme.com NO SUPPORT IN A WHOLE WEEK!!! Bashaer and Ayla returned to their home in north Gaza, but as you can see, it was rendered uninhabitable by the IOF: They are still living on the street, still without shelter, and still in desperate need of your support for food, medical care, and repairing their home to the point where it is livable again. We are setting a low temporary goal to try to restart donations. Please help a young widow and her baby rebuild their lives❤️‍🩹 Current: $45,755 USD New temporary goal: $46,000 USD Need to raise: $245 USD Temporary goal met!! Thank you🩷 Sadly, Bashaer and Ayla’s situation has not improved. They remain living on the street, vulnerable to weather, disease, starvation, and ongoing IOF attacks which continue despite truce agreements. We need to get them off the street and under a functional roof ASAP! Current: $46,313 usd New temporary goal: $47,000 usd Need to raise: $687 usd

isuggestlandback: tartrazeen: spider-xan: Annoyed at both US and Canadian liberals acting like Canada is an oppressed Global South country that is under the boot of US imperialism and full of progressive revolutionaries when it’s actually one of the wealthiest countries in the world and an enthusiastic ally of the US in its imperialism most of the time, and when it isn’t, it has its own imperialist and colonialist projects, especially mining, both in the Global South and on stolen Indigenous land within so called Canada - don’t even get me started on how reactionary Canadian settlers are either, and it’s not just the white ones born here bc a lot of non-white diaspora and immigrants are just as nationalistic and hate both Indigenous peoples and the Global South, even if their families are originally from the latter. I saw a Reddit thread from someone in Europe going, “Wow, Canada, I always thought you were just a smaller America, but you’ve really proven yourself to be a democratic power who protects the liberties of your people. The world’s eyes are watching you and we’re all really impressed.” Followed by Canadians being like, “thank you uwu i hate when people compare us to Americans and it’s so nice to be recognized for our contributions to civil liberties” It was the smuggest smugfest for a country that only just barely kinda-apologized for the hundreds of thousands First Nations children they slaughtered and dumped into mass graves outside of the residential schools they abducted and sent those children to, and on the heels of suing to say, “No, we don’t have to provide clean water to reserves, we only do that as a favour” Embarrassing. I. HAVE. A. SUGGESTION!!!
