April 8th- International Romani Day

Today, April 8th, is International Romani Day !

April 8th, specifically, is dedicated to drawing attention and participating in the celebration, well-regard, and remembrance of the Romani people, their histories, their strengths, their continued perseverance, as well as supporting the many Romani communities!

Today is, plainly, dedicated to remembering, respecting, and understanding the continued resilience and strength of the Romani people, honoring their rich histories and cultures, as well as paying honor and tribute to the strength of those who have overcome all genocides, enslavement, continued injustice, and calling for the rights and regards of Romani peoples to be observed and respected.

Lots of love and regard to my Roma friends, mutuals, followers, and all beyond 💙❤💚

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…

Lady Jane Grey (1536/7 – 12 February 1554), also known as Lady Jane Dudley after her marriage, and nicknamed as the "Nine Days Queen," was an English noblewoman who was proclaimed Queen of England and Ireland on 10 July 1553 and reigned until she was deposed by her cousin, Mary I, on 19 July 1553.

Voyager where everything is the same except B'elanna Torres has crazy ass Latin nicknames for everyone. I am not talking about Spanish versions of their names I am talking about calling Paris "Salamandro(a)" bc he turned into a lizard or calling harry "pan plano" bc he is not rising through the ranks or something along those lines

Acadian Day (LA)

While this day is to celebrate the resilience, contribution, and culture of Acadians, it's also Native American Heritage Day, so I'd also like to celebrate and thank the Wabanaki Confederacy, specifically the Mi'kmaq, Penobscot, and Wolastoqey Nations.

Without the Mi'kmaq Nation accepting the French colonizers onto their land and extending a hand of peace and teaching, the French would not have easily survived, if at all.

Thanks to the bravery and resistance of the Penobscot and Wolastoqey Nations, some of the Acadians were able to evade capture, deportation, and death. If not for them, there would have been nothing for the returning Acadians to come home to.

Thanks to all of them, the Acadians were able to settle deep roots that would resound through time.

Wela'lin, Mi'kmaq Nation.

Woliwoni, Penobscot Nation.

Woliwon, Wolastoqey Nation.

We owe more than we could ever repay to you.

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.

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"?

Little psa, since a few people have noticed that a lot of my ancients' discord bots have different features from their canon counterparts! This is because I am Armenian, and I like to project this onto my muses, and the ancients especially fit this, being inspired by ancient Greece which is close to Armenia. A lot of my ancients have curlier or fluffier hair than canon (Lahabrea, sometimes Emet when his hair is short), more prominent hooked noses (Hyth and, to a lesser degree since i like his canon nose, Emet, and Lahabrea doesn't have a hooked nose per se but it's still different from canon), or darker or more olive toned skin (Hermes and Hyth again). This applies to my ocs, too- my Azem has dark skin, curly black hair, a hooked nose, and full lips. Coeus is a pale white bitch, but they're intended to stand out and look a little odd. In addition, I give them more varied bodies, and apply Armenian cultural aspects to ancient society in general, though I still stick pretty close to the original lore and inspirations.
