Highland Heritage Day 2023: A Way Forward?
by Susan Kruse Did you know that there are around 100 heritage organisations and over 50 museums in the Highlands – and a number of community trusts and individuals who have heritage projects on the go? Few of us know what others are doing, and we rarely have a chance to meet up. ARCH has over the years tried to find out contact details, in part due to work organising the Highland Archaeology…

I will not pretend to understand my dreams, but this one in parcitular wouldn't leave me alone, where @patricia-taxxon invaded my dreamscape.
#artwork#of my dreams#Aydin#otter#Patty#pomeranian#Patricia Taxxon#the dream followed me leaving my family to go explore a store floor and there was a movie corner being hosted up against a wall#I snuck in and then Patty (Avery?) crawled over to my spot to visit and I just decided “y'know what fuck it; wanna cozy up”#gave pets and got my finger gnawed on (i encouraged it - I remember the bites feeling firm yet barely painful). the fur was soft.#the movie was about capitalism (imperialism)'s destructive effects on Africa's culture and heritage.#but yeah sometimes a friend (that i might not see much/anymore) or someone i follow the workings of just show up at random in my dreams;#and i find it a forever curious happenstance#I frequently journal my dreams such that I'm okay at recalling them but this one stuck HARD in my head all day

When you guys talk everyday and they used to be your person and now it feels like they couldn’t care less about you or anything u have to say
#istg I was crying the other day and I ended it like its fine even though I had been sobbing and he just started talking about random shit#and today he called and didn’t listen to a word I had to say and didn’t pay attention to anything#but got mad when I wasn’t invested in his whole ass family heritage retelling#and we used to be able to banter but now it just feels bitter like it’s not fun or funny anymore#idk what’s happening it’s just shit

Under the cut are mostly self-insert doodles of decreasing quality. Again, not much directly tied to Team Fortress 2. Might as well toss these out while I have no access to my puter. Much yapping under the cut and in the tags incoming.
Another self-insert, this time less of a "here's me as a tenth class" and more of a "here's my game experiences translated into the class I would take the place of". The Cleaner. Although I guess they could still be wearing either suit. It doesn't matter that much.
That one Convict's Case taunt with Backup would be extremely funny, because the man would be on the verge of a breakdown (he does not want to go to jail so bad you have no idea). The second image- I owe no explanation. You know what I am. You see the pattern with my favourites.
The duality of the man. Resting face versus "just heard you express interest in religion/Russian folklore" face. He's not that hard to make friends with, when you pull him away from all the explosions.
Some doodles of trying to figure his face out. Unfortunately, the more I stare at him, the more I worry that he looks like A Certain Guy With The Last Name "Kazarin", and the fear of never being original in my life caught up to me.
Don't look at me, don't perceive me, I refuse to explain any of my actions to you.
#team fortress 2#tf2#that's it that's the only tags i am putting this in. maybe someday i will have the balls to do more but for now that's about it#while i have the chance - and since posts with more of my yapping in the tags don't pop in people's feeds much - i might as well ramble-#-about these guys here. self-inserts or not i'm projecting only half of my bullshit on each one of them. creativity 👍#backup is tall and pale and has sharp canines and more of a dull brown hair colour with tired grey eyes. no amount of babyface or soft-#-hands can really help a motherfucker when he's grimacing so much because he just Hates being around half the people on the team.#cleaner meanwhile is on the shorter side and has constantly flushed skin and brighter colours and whatnot. you can't see it because of the-#-mask most of the time but they do smile a lot more and have a more cheery disposition towards life and see the whole team as their friends!#backup transitioned fully (albeit not very legally lmao) and is scared shitless of not being seen as a man although the last time that ever-#-came up was years ago. he holds onto his last name as part of the heritage he loves and loathes at the same time - attached to his culture-#-and religion and bloodline while also resentful of his family and the regime he knows someone else on the team suffered under.#cleaner just kinda binds and calls it a day. he only does it to confuse the team because while he doesn't identify with being a girl he-#-loves the confused looks his epic gender reveal moment gets. they do not remember their family name or where they grew up or what even got-#-them to this kind of mental state. and he's chill with it he values the here and now way more than some dark edgy backstory.#backup despite trying to be an honest man is afraid of vulnerability as well. he stubbornly refuses to express love towards certain people-#-lest they feel disgusted and turn away. he's afraid of consequences afraid of losing the people he loves afraid of his ''interests'' being-#-what drives them away. it doesn't by the way and he just wasted time being a cold indecisive loser for several months lmao#cleaner wears a suit that hides all of them yes but they pretty much never lie. he is always his truest self and he can always just burn-#-people who don't like him enough to make it a problem. they are a lot more comfortable indulging in their interests - be they innocent-#-and juvenile or violent and dangerous. he is quite open with his affection and his fascinations that backup would rather keep secret.#i want to establish that these two can only exist in separate universes because they both have feelings towards the funny assistant lady-#-and the funny inventor guy (selfshipping for the winnn) and would fight over those two. cleaner would win by the way#it's also a really funny point of comparison. cleaner is objectively more fucked up than backup and still managed to be more normal about-#-their feelings and live as a healthier and happier person than that guy. comedic gold honestly#OKAY I'M DONE if you read up to here you get uhhh a cookie :-)

honestly the grip sinophonia has on america. embarrassing
#how are you unironically blaming a country on the other side of the world for like 2/3rds of america's problems.#the willful ignorance is wild#“chinese people are ok as long as they are Certified American 🥰 not like those brainwashed mainland chinese people”#be so for real.....#and this is more like us complaining but theres so much of like. our personal ancestry/heritage we just Dont Have#because of how strong the anti chinese sentiment is in our taiwanese family#we want to visit china some day especially fu jian bc thats where some of our family is from#but literally all of our family is like China Dangerous and Bad#its just. frusturating#confluence.txt

Hii, Anon!!
Unfortunately I don't :(
I hopefully one day this answer changes though :D!!
#Ideally one day I collect all my heritage languages... but there are many 😭#My great grandfather didn't teach my grandmother so she couldn't teach my mother so I do not know it#But I know how to write the family name for that part of the family#(he specifically spoke Lebanese Arabic (because he was from Ain Ata which is in Lebanon))#anon!!#toiletpotalkto

possibly my most self-indulgent oc yet & guess what. she’s for obey me
#obey me#oc : himura no chiyoko#the no is there for a reason#i love chiyoko… so much… ok what if :#you were essentially the heir of a clan of space pirates (not that that’s all the himura is but u get the picture) and. also somehow d#descended from a demon… and also you were kind of a sports star… and you came from 500 years in the future… and (during sport) you jumped#into the heart of a dying star after your childhood best friend / first love and somehow you end up in 21st century london so you do your#best & you generally do OK except said bff died going thru the star & you didn’t cos of ur demon heritage so you’re just alone here. so you#start various relationships all of which end with you getting your heartbroken because you’ve been in love with the same person since u#were 8 and ur not ready for the 21st century dating scene and then#you get abducted into what is basically hell as a ‘human’ exchange student when half of the time you Are Blue.#so you think OK maybe this is how i get home maybe they can time travel except they’re all DICKS to you and you (you are like 23/24 by the#way) cry in your closet every day because it’s just a Lot and then you FALL IN LOVE WITH SOME OF THEM and they seem to love u back#and for the first time since u left home u feel like maybe u can have a family again. because u left ur fam behind when u jumped into the#dying star remember. but then#this freak in the attic KILLS YOU and none of them do anything about it#so you move in with the hottie next door (mephisto)#but you are 1. hopeless 2. romantic 3. stupid 4. beautiful so you eventually rekindle things … and maybe even w the guy who killed u#idk i’m undecided if she romances belphie yet#we got mephisto lucifer mammon & levi for sure. maybe 4 husbands is enough for her#OH YEAH. AND YOURE STILL GRIEVING YOUR DEAD BFF/GF. UNTIL YOU REALISE YOURE ONLY STILL GRIEVING BECAUSE ITS ALL YOU HAVE OF HOME.#anyway that’s chiyoko 🥰

As an autistic child who didn't fit in anywhere, I always looked at the people I knew with strong ties to their heritage with big ol sparkly eyes. I would constantly pester my family about our heritage. Of course, Native American would be included in the list. Potawatomi, I'd be told, "she was the daughter of the chief," someone claimed at some point... Then I grew up, learned history, studied anthropology, and all together came to realize that any native heritage I had (if I had any to begin with) was nothing more than a "fun fact" to my family. It didn't mean anything to anyone.
I was still curious, though, and through working on a family tree for a few years, I realized I did have "native heritage," an x-times great grandma who was Shawnee. It made me wonder a lot of things. Did she pass on any of her culture to her children, or, for any of the numerous reasons that would have prevented/pressured her to not, didn't? And if she did teach her children, when did it stop being passed down? At what point did she stop being our grandmother and start being a "fun fact"?
#disclaimer time#i do not in any way identify as native#and while I do want to learn more about her and her culture#I'm not seeking to “reclaim a culture I've been disconnected from” or anything like that#and honestly#even though I want to know these things#I more so would never want to impose upon people who have no obligation to teach me these things#Don't read anything deeper into this#because at the end of the day#I'm just an autistic nerd with special interests in anthropology and family history#admittedly#Curious if others have had similar experiences#but I want to first and foremost stay in my own lane and not insert myself where i dont belong#and the reason im “fixating” on this part of my tree#is that information#even further back#is easy to obtain for my ancestors#I'm very privileged in that regard#but all i have for her is a name. and i dont even know if it's her birth name#her story is just...gone...#musings#ramblings#heritage#anthropology#family history

cuban hope lupin and italian lyall lupin who travelled the world together before they had remus, learning languages and cultures and meeting people from everywhere.
and remus lupin who's never gone further than newport, half an hour away, constantly reading of the rest of the world. imagining being able to go there, to explore the world.
#if the war didn't happen and no one died then 100% all four marauders went around the world together for a year#james keeping in touch with his partners through letters and meeting them at some places they went (france and india)#im kinda planning where they'd go in my head. like so far im thinking:#iceland. quick stop in canada. right down america stopping at like las vegas maybe. then to cuba for remus to meet his mum's family.#probably staying there for like 2/3 weeks maybe.#then to nigeria. maybe spend a little time in egypt. then up to greece. then romania. then to india where they stay#for about 3 weeks. and lily and regulus meet them there to visit james' family#they go to thailand. malaysia. and down to australia. then back up to japan then south korea.#then to russia. sweden. through germany to italy. they stay in italy for about 2 weeks for remus' grandparents.#marlene and dorcas would meet them in italy since marlene has a italian heritage and hasn't gone to italy since she was a kid so misses it#then over to france where lily and regulus and mary meet them all. mary marlene and dorcas leave after a day or so#to go to the isle of wight to spend a few weeks with mary's sister and her girlfriend#the others stay in france for about a week. regulus and sirius being very obnoxious and showing off ofc.#lily and regulus go home and the marauders go to ibiza for about a week before finishing and going back to britian (boo! britian sucks!)#anyway. rambling about this hc.#marauders era#marauders#remus lupin#hope lupin#lyall lupin#lyall&remus april fest#l&r april fest

"you know you're getting a bit old for meeting people if you want kids"
WHO'S FAULT IS THAT?!
Who chose to raise us in the middle of the the fucking woods?!
Who actively deliberately isolated us from our ethnic community because you were embarrassed by how we were failures and your internalized self racism makes you think all brown men as skeevy and you specifically wanted to keep us away from them and put effort into achieving that and cutting us off from all community connection?
Who let me switch to correspondence school and study alone at home because I said I was bored, instead of giving a single solitary fuck about me and noticing I was obviously depressed?
Who raised us abstinence only to the point that any mixing with the 'opposite' sex was unacceptable?
Who actively shut down any attempt I made to develop or act on hobbies or personal interests, because the only think I should be doing is studying?
Do you think that somehow the negative effects of keeping kids at home only allowed to do schoolwork and chores and unable to drive unable to leave the house unable to get a job unable to engage in hobbies unable to engage in community unable to leave the house... somehow the negative effects only apply if you're deliberately doing it for patriarchal cult reasons?
Bitch managed to raise us fully traditional entirely by accident
With a good dash of learned helplessness with constant messaging that were incapable of managing to do anything or survive by ourselves
I've only been out the house for 3 years! And 2 of that was the last year of the degree and the first year of the job being a new grad Covid nurse in peak Covid!
I've only been able to breathe for one year!
I've had one year of freedom and I've been using it to learn how to be human for the first time!
And you've spent that year telling me to break up with everyone I happen to meet!
Don't fucking tell me I'm too old now
You were supposed to help me!
You knew I wanted kids! Why didn't you help me earlier!
You did everything you could to keep me isolated because you were projecting your own trust issues onto me and never stopped to think what effect that might have when you're raising someone!
Why does generational trauma have to be so mundane
#Vent post#Negativity#My posts#My life#Aka I have spent one single evening with my family#Day 1 of a full 30 days#Luckily I'll be with my dad not my mother#The way he doesn't care about me is a lot less sharp for me these days at least#He saves that all for not giving a shit about my sibling#I'm going on a quest to reconnect with my family and heritage#This is a great start#.... She's not wrong tbh#But it's still a sore spot#Haydn's parents bought me supplies for the hobbies I want to try#Ive wanted to do them for 10 years#But I've only just now got the freedom and support to start#I'm a beginner now at everything#But I'm starting.#I'm starting.#Just let me live.#Without making mundane things into stress.#Haydn's mum is so nice.#I know mine is stressed and has a hard life too#But she's miserable for the same reason I am#Right#Flight tomorrow#Gotta sleep#And think morw positive thoughts#My birthday just gone is the best one#Thank you for making me feel loved

This is just a map of New England (minus Connecticut the fake New England state)
#text post#new england#source: boston 25 news website: believe it or not massachusetts is not the most irish state new study finds#18.9% of mass residents have irish ancestry#really this is not surprising at all. massachusetts is the most population-dense state by far with the most immigrants#and new hampshire? ask anyone where their family lived before they came to new hampshire. it was massachusetts#new hampshire is full of ethnically irish and italian and polish catholics whose families have been here long enough#to assimilate and move to the suburbs and become xenophobic and anti-immigrant.#literally bothers me so much when ppl named molly o'flannigan and patrick sullivan talk shit about dorchester lawrence etc#and other immigrant-dense areas in new england. i'm like baby your grandparents lived there#well or at least that's my experience#new england still does have a shocking amount of wasps whose families have been here since the fuckin mayflower#i dont have a direct link to that in my own family but it's very strange how that is taught to new england children as like#'our' heritage in schools. plymouth plantation and the puritans and all that. you're weirdly made to identify w it#and like as time goes on#just factually that only represents the population of ppl who live and are raised here less and less.#not to mention it does nothing to address DIVERSITY in the area. but i suppose there's like a local mythos#we have to teach a story to children and it has to be a 'we' story and that story has to be pilgrims#bc the story has to start at colonization and not expand after that. thats too complex. happy thanksgiving?#new england white people have a habit of thinking theyre irish catholic anglo-protestant settlers and they built this country#they dont parse out their own identity at all and they certainly don't want to have to consider other ppl's.#wow i didnt mean this to turn into a culture-critical rant im sure most of my followers arent even from here so idk what this means 2 u guy#happy saint patrick's day!

Seeing the ammunition shortage affect Ukraine because of fucking stupid American Politics while they take a lil' vacation is going to jokerfy me 🙃 For guys who have a big thing about jerking off the military-industrial complex the Republicans sure are ghoulishly delighting in avoiding doing so when given the chance
#I. Want. To. [redacted non actionable anyways threats].#kill kill kill bite maim kill <- also non actionable I'm just... RAGE NO THOUGHTS JUST ANGER#Long story short drop em on the battlefield. Do that to them. :)#make them watch 20 days in Mariupol clockwork orange style if necessary#sorry gotta get this rage out NOW because I work today#I will NEVER forgive the US for this. btw. This is going to live in my memory FOREVER.#Also something something I can have critisism of the US's whole.... deal with their Military and recognize it WAS#greatly benefiting somewhere I care about deeply because of my heritage and my friend's family. two things can be true at once#kat gets personal#me#ukraine#current events

May you find chocolate coins and tiny gifts hidden in your shoes this morning 🥰
#saint nick#Saint Nicholas day#I’m not religious anymore but I have always loved this feast day#and it’s my first Saint nick’s day alone#so I’m kind of sad#it’s like the only holiday where I felt u could really connect with my heritage#cause I’m so far removed from like my family history#idk I’m just emotional today ig
