#Haitian Family

[the-royal-blue-network]

Bon Ane

When you're Haitian, January 1st is a double holiday! Not only is it the start of a new year, but it's also the anniversary of the day the Haitians gained independence from the French! This double holiday means goal-setting, drinking alcohol, and enjoying lots and lots of squash soup and other Haitian cuisines.

For this double holiday, our main character Pierre, along with his family, his boyfriend Jordan, and their friends are ringing in the New Year with a good old-fashioned Haitian party; that means loud music, lots of laughter, and delicious food. As Jordan and his and Pierre's friends take part in Pierre's culture, they come to learn that there's no other party quite like a Haitian party.

Earthquake Aftermath in Port au Prince

"I was sitting down at the house when it started to rock then blocks and wood started falling, Romario broke his leg, Mum grabbed us all and we got out all except my oldest brother Emanual. He was trapped. We weren't sure if he was alive or dead but we kept looking for him. Then my mother and Emanuel heard each other. He called out, 'Mamma I'm alive,' Mum told everybody she could find that he was alive, journalists, aid workers rescue workers, After 11 days rescuers ( an Israeli SAR) pulled him out, my mother collapsed from joy."

Americans must followed the time honoured tradition of treating every Carribean person like shit, Hatians by far the worst 🫡

People from the caribbean-latinsphere always have shit to say but haitians stay winning anyway !! 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭��🇭🇹

[iphigeniacomplex]

what does it say about a person that their immediate response to the spread of dehumanizing rhetoric against a vulnerable population is to repeat a joke from a movie? does this catchphrase activism indicate genuine allyship?

220 years of freedom and the whole time imperialists tried to bring us down. And we still stand.

Unless you're litterally being held at gunpoint there's no excuse. No one in their right mind would want to become a murderer or participate in the Legal Murder Institution in the name of financial stability. If someone put a gun on my hand and told me that if I shoot a number of people I will have my education and future guaranteed I would just not do it. I'd rather struggle and have a harder life and killing someone else. But you need to recognize the "someone else" in question as an equal to understand that, you need to have an actual interest in seeing the other person as someone just like you, and at that point that's just personal responsability. Being critical of the State is a decision you can make. You're not trapped within the confines of your culture and the hegemonic system is never fully waterproof, the leaks are there you just need to actually care to find them.

Usamericans should be more anti-war actually. They should be straight up insulting marines and shutting down weapon factories, 60s anti-war protests kind of shit. I'm sorry for pontificating from down here but the US military-industrial complex is currently supplying a genocide, and this is not a new thing, the US has sold weapons to Saudi Arabia to starve millions of Yemenis. And though some people think it's not the point, it Is also true that there are trillions upon trillions of dollars that could be spent in anything else that go to the black hole of corruption (and call it for what it is, corruption) that is the Pentagon. Any of those resources could be destined to literally any other activity and be better spent.

I'm talking full contempt here. You should outright be HATING the military. Instead of lining up to watch Top Gun you should see it as a glorification of a fucking killing machine that serves imperial interests, enriches megacorporations and supports genocided. For the love of God be more angry about it. Goddamn.

Never forget the winter where I spent most of my time spiraling due to being gaslight over what our family did (voudou and palo) and i was arguing with my guides over who they really were so the did a "test" away from my mom's side on just my dad (whos very clairvoyant but very much a skeptic) and he gave me a funky music cd and I just about had it 😭😆
