im newsed out y’all, too much is happening I need a boring week. how yall doing? come chat, vent, and joke. em poc only. also ive been seeing an uptick in misogynoir on hexbear. its fine to attack kamala for being a bad person and what not yall but please make sure you are checking yourself for brain worms yall you are not immune to misogynoir. think “if a leftist black women came here and read my comment, would she feel uncomfortable?” “am I keeping this a welcoming space for black women”
also reading a book on pre-colonial African history. it makes a good point on how (usually) Western historians rely on archaeological information (remaining structures, their age and design, etc.) that created a portrayal of distinct tribes as seemingly living as one large group because those structures were still intact (conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa were generally far smaller, over minor issues and were quickly resolved).
ironically makes a point on the heavy overlap between Western imperialism and cultural assimilation through the destruction and erection of their own cultural symbols over others.
