Here’s a fun reminder, Jean-Baptiste is an actual French first/given name. There are people who instead of just being named Jean after John the Baptist are given the full title. And I 100% wouldn’t be surprised if I have some Jean-Baptiste in my family tree.

listen to rap. especially in languages thar you are learning or have learned. it will teach you so much about cadence, pronunciation and meaning, but also the zeitgeist and cultural context they are used in, allowing you to engage with language as sound and rhythm while also engaging with it as a medium. listen to rap!
#also so much rap is made my migrants and diasporas which brings another layer to this exercise#me and my best friend at 3am comparing vowel frequency in polish and french rap this is what its all about. to me.#of course u dont have to be anything of course. but engaging with art in good faith even if it does not initally impress you#will always be productive <3

And when I get my all black interview with the vampire remake ala the wiz then what
#listen there truly is so much you can do with blackness and itwv#even what we get with louis and his own struggles with race and racism in the show like lets not stop there#and i thunk it is a great way to get more black fans 1) involved 2) in creative spaces cus imma be real. i dont wanna see more white lestats#like lestat as an alexander dumas type has been rattling around my brain for months i need people to see the vision#i also just see it more as a way to look at how slavery and its legacies have forever warped how the Diaspora interrelates#not only slavery but french colonialism as well. what does it mean to be a free man of color when your cousins are being sold off?#what does it mean to be Haitian in spaces like aristocratic colonial france?#how does the arab slave trade factor in?#like there are so many good points of meta we could do if people weren't obsessed with woobyfying white men in this fandom#hell even the notion of passing in itwv is deeply intriguing#interview with the vampire#iwtv#amc iwtv

Pay attention Christians.
Half of all French MUSLIMS say they want all French Catholics to convert to Islam. More than one-third of all French Muslims want all French churches to be converted to Islamic Mosques. One-quarter of all French Muslims report that the word "France" is a word they reject.
France has 751 no-go zones ("Zones Urbaine Sensibles") where French authorities have ceded control to Muslim gangs and Imams. Nonuslkms can only live in these zones, if they accept "Dhimmi" status, which means they agree to be 2nd class citizens, admit they live in a territory ruled by Islam, and now their heads when they encounter a Muslim.
France is a country where the prison population is 70% Muslim. More than 100 rapes a day are occurring in France, most committed by followers of Muhammads misogynist cult.
45% of French Muslims say they want the total destruction of Israel.
An equal number of French Muslims want to redefine rape murder torture beheading kidnapping burning-alive and massacres as "acts of resistance."
The remaining Jewish families of France, who haven't been forced out, must pretend to not be Jewish, and have left public education entirely.

also lmao the implication that all of upstate new york is like westchester county or some shit and doesn't have parts that are just as rural and poor and filled with racial tension as louisiana like just TELL me you know nothing about the region
#and like if you want to go with the cajun angle there is a somewhat significant acadian french diaspora around there as well#like if you were going to pick somewhere in the north as somewhat culturally comparable to louisiana#upstate new york would be at the TOP of that list lmao

I would absoloutely LOVE to read a story of yours based around brigid showing up in America on a coffin ship. As someone from Ireland, a lot of people don't actually know the history and it makes my heart so so big hearing it even mentioned :')
I don't know if I'll ever do the coffin ships specifically but I have a lot of thoughts about Brighid and the diaspora in America and Australia especially but also Canada, Argentina and Chile. One of the handful of times I've heard Irish Gaelic in public it was from an Argentinian, it was glorious. Sorry, braincells playing pingpong today uhhh where was I oh! Yes. So if you kind of scratch that surface of American consumerism and the whole phenomenon of plastic paddies and yanks ordering car bombs in pubs you might be surprised! There's a real appreciation for the history and culture and music under there, I swear. I'm not Irish-American but I was born in Boston and we're the worst about this, I swear to god, but there is a really rich vein of history and appreciation in there somewhere.
Anyway, all of that to say I will likely write a story about if not the coffin ships themselves, then at least some of Brighid's life and relationships that resulted from the circumstances. Coffin ships, fever sheds, the Irish Brigade, the Fenian raids, the music, the food, the holiday, the legacy of the Celtic Church in the Catholic church of America and Australia. There's a lot of material in there.
#im not irish but im a boston-born ginger named Maggie so I've been mistaken for one so MUCH its so funny#and I got the hair from my scot american parent but in Quebec everyone just assumes I'm one of the Irish that assimilated into French Canad#so I am veryyyyy familiar with the history now#the ask box || probis pateo#hmmm i might have to make a diaspora tag#Brighid || An Bearna Bhaoil#Alfred and Brighid || o'er the raging foam to seek a home#Jack and Brighid || bound for Botany Bay

Ngl the win yesterday almost made me regret my refusal to ever have anything Moroccan flag related bc im anti nationalism in general n bc of the western sahara n also bc the creation of morocco like the creation of all african countries basically is due to fucking Europeans n shit .... But my little sister light of my life was going to a big city w my mom for a street celebration.. neway though i hope moroccans dont use up all those fire flares bc the Moroccan Outlaws org needs tht nrg to repeal 490...
#most of my morocco based like reposting causes shit going on is like on instagram bc its basically all in french#and i don't want to repost here when my grasp on french is shit so there could be sth bad there tht i dont know abt#like i like the soccer game bc its got good players half of whom are diaspora and mote than half are probably amaizgh at least like five#are for sure amazigh...#but i hate tht this is an arm to a Moroccan nationalism orojedr#xxaso

Music helps keep me consistent. I know how to perfect, perforate, perform & play (to various degrees of knowledge of Clefs, Keys, Letters, Scale Tenors, Time Scales, Time Signatures, Tuning Structures, etc) the Alto 6 Guitare, Drums, Guitares of different amounts of strings, Harmonica, Keyboard, Ukulele, Violining with Guitares, as well. 29. The vocal chords are an instrument.
Ever since I found out my mother was French-Italian, I try to take everything more seriously with adue respect.

also btw although I didn’t list them bc the tree was so hard to read already, when I say diaspora Elezen languages I mean things like Sharlayan Elezen and other Elezen-family languages that would’ve developed in communities outside of the main zone of Gridania/Coerthas/parts of Dravania
#saint.txt#Sharlayan is an interesting question bc in game at least even Sharlayan natives follow the naming conventions of their races#(ie. Alphinaud’s entire family all have extremely French names)#which implies either Sharlayan doesn’t have a lingua franca even in places like the Studium (ie. dialects to whole new daughter languages#galore) or Sharlayan does but people speak their own languages (diaspora / daughter / or otherwise) outside of the Forum + academic sphere#(if Sharlayan has a lingua franca it’s probably? hyur or alliance trade standard)#anyways Sharlayan’s super interesting on a linguistic front bc it’s so small and probably has so much intermixing#Sharlayan Elezen to a BSE/Duskwight/Coerthan speaker probably sounds insane#it might even be so different that it can’t be grouped with the ‘main’ sphere. like it’s the equivalent of the difference between like#French and Spanish or smth. same family but wholly utterly different.

El Aïd is supposed to be a big party with a lot of family and a LOTTTTT OF MEAT TO EAT but unfortunately being so far from tunisia we have to settle for a small restaurant food... None of the festivities and the partying and the ENTIRE extended family being super kind and fun and also making snide remarks bc thats how retired tunisian women spend their days doing. just missing the vibe man
#i want to go and live in tunisia for a few years ... rekindle ykno...#its hard being from the diaspora. cow your neither french nor tunisian.. youre some sort of tourist. bad
