HA LLEGADO LA REINA DEL CAFÉ.

Si bien me ha gustado mucho la nueva peleadora peruana, sentía que su traje no era muy peruano, así que decidí hacerla con un traje un poco más típico. Lo hice basándome en como suelen vestir las peleadoras en el takanakuy.

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. Welcome to Too Much Information Tuesday.

School doesn't test your intelligence, it tests your memory.

Venustraphobia is the fear of beautiful women.

A tiger’s tongue is so coarse, it can lick flesh to the bone.

People who get angry easily are more likely to overestimate their intelligence.

‘I’ before ‘E’ except when your foreign neighbour Keith receives eight counterfeit beige sleighs from weird, feisty, caffeinated weightlifters.

Not once in the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme does it mention that he’s an egg.

Nomophobia is the fear of being without your mobile phone or losing your signal.

Erotomania is a psychological disorder where the sufferer has delusions that another person is in love with him or her.

Some restaurants in China actually lace their foods with opiates to keep customers coming back.

Your mind spends about 70% of its time replaying memories and creating scenarios.

Instead of "Once upon a time …" many Korean folktales begin with "Back when tigers used to smoke ..."

In 2013, a man bought a house next to his ex-wife just to install a giant middle finger statue for her to see every day.

One Direction once got kicked out of a hotel owned by Donald Trump because they wouldn't get out of bed to meet his daughter.

You can't make the same mistake twice. The second time you make it, it's no longer a mistake, it's a choice.

Google makes about $40 billion a year in ad revenue, which is more than CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX combined.

On March 13th, 1919, a letter from a New Orleans serial killer said he would kill again at 15 minutes past midnight but would spare the occupants of any place where a jazz band was playing. That night, every dance hall was filled to capacity and no one was murdered.

During the early 1960s, a chimpanzee named Lucy was raised as if she were a human daughter by a psychotherapist and his wife. She ate food using cutlery, wore clothes, enjoyed magazines, enjoyed drinking gin, could sign 250 words and tried to masturbate with a vacuum cleaner.

In 1913, Sarah Rector, a 10-year-old black girl received a land allotment of 160 acres in Oklahoma. The best farming land was reserved for whites, so she was given a barren plot. Oil was soon discovered there and she became the country's first black millionaire.

Okay, that’s enough information for one day. Have a tremendous and tumultuous Tuesday! I love you all.

TAKANAKUY LARA MUJERES 2024 IMPRESIONANTE

[sergeantnarwhalwrites]

I gotta figure out the fighting styles for my Fucked at Five crew. Here's what I have so far. Ian and Elliot's definitely have a chance of changing. These mostly apply to their human and partially morphed forms.

I already know Saz is more of a grappler and up close kind of fighter. She'll tackle, she'll pin, she'll keep you in a hold, she'll throw you. She's got a background in wrestling. I really think bro would benefit from some Judo training. Saz can throw jabs but she doesn't really kick. If she did kick it would be a low kick. Something to try to knock you off balance, or just weaken your stamina in general.

Julie is a really aggressive fighter hence a lot of her attacks are really direct palm strikes. She has fucked up her hands throwing close-fisted punches and really tries not to do so (which is some reasoning to why fighters hands are wrapped or in gloves if you rely on close fisted punching). I feel like I need to incorporate her legs more. And her morpher trait is why I'm saying this. It needs to be difficult to keep a grasp on her. Will do whatever it takes to win. She'll claw before she bites but that doesn't mean she won't bite.

Ian I'm thinking more boxer. He'll at least wrap his hands wrapped before most fights. He's tall he's built and I think he'd have great reach. Can use weapons. Has used weapons. Doesn't like to use weapons. Arguably also an aggressive fighter. He's strikes feel persistent, he's throwing punches even if they don't land. But they're all powerful. Some taunting used. But considerably less stamina than Saz. I'm gonna look into a martial art called Dambe. I think that'll fit pretty well actually. Also I saw something about Takanakuy and it looks cool. Casually sliding that over as a potential fighting style match too.

Elliot I'd think is really a mix. He can and will use weapons, usually his antlers if they haven't broken off (Lol or if they have and he has access to them). He will aim for weak spots and focus on them. Can be a bit of a trickster (will attempt to anyway) anything to break your focus. I'd argue he actually is more of a kicker than a puncher. Arguably he's the weakest of the four of them so his jabs would typically use his elbows as opposed to his hands. Yes he has hurt himself doing this. No he will not stop. He'd bite without a hesitation.

Pujllay! 🌈 La fiesta de la fertilidad andina

Hoy nos dimos con una grata sorpresa en nuestro paseo nocturno por el centro de Pisac. Había un grupo de danzantes ensayando en la plaza para la fiesta de Pujllay que se celebra en Febrero. El baile es muy energético y contagiante. Rochi nos explicó que es una fiesta muy intensa de 4 días que celebra la fertilidad de la tierra y de los y las solteras. Es una celebración que es más allá de la danza pero la danza tiene un papel protagonico.

Remito un artículo de Internet para que sepan más. "Pujllay" es un concepto quechua que significa aproximadamente, "juego" o "intercambio". Este componente del "juego", entendido como un contrapunto pactado, se presenta en distintas fiestas rituales de carácter agrario, sobretodo entre los meses de diciembre y febrero, cuando comienzan las lluvias. Los rituales son tanto guerreros (como es el caso del "Chiaraje" o el "Takanakuy") como amorosos, entre la juventud casadera. El objetivo es propiciar y celebrar la fertilidad de la Pachamama: buenas cosechas, buen ganado, re-generación comunal... y de manera especial, restaurar el equilibrio cósmico entre los opuestos complementarios. Los elementos de catarsis social y celebración de la fertilidad y la vida, lo han vinculado con el tiempo y el progresivo mestizaje, al concepto del carnaval occidental. Las celebraciones del pujllay rural sobreviven sobretodo en Cusco, Apurímac, Huancavelica, Ayacucho, zonas altas de Arequipa, zonas quechuas de Puno. Lamentablemente, su práctica ritual retrocede frente a la escenificación folkórica para el turismo. Sólo en las fechas precisas, los jeans y las zapatillas ceden a las polleras, sombreros, mantas (llicllas o aguayos), y demás elementos del traje tradicional."

En este otro video la directora castiga a los chicos porque tenía que "guapear" o dar chillidos de celebración mientras bailaban y no lo hicieron

No pude poner el video pero puse a este perrito cómico. 🤣

(#4425) Peleas de Takanakuy

Las peleas de Takanakuy son una tradición cultural que se lleva a cabo en algunas comunidades de la región andina del Perú, especialmente en la zona de Cusco y Puno. Este evento es una forma única de resolución de conflictos que tiene raíces en las tradiciones indígenas de la región.

El día 25 de cada año, los residentes de un pueblo peruano celebran una festividad conocida como "Takanakuy", durante la cual se desafían entre sí a una pelea para resolver cualquier rencor no resuelto del año pasado. Takanakuy, que significa "golpearse entre sí" en quechua. Después de eso, todos se emborrachan para olvidar el año pasado y darle la bienvenida al nuevo. La idea detrás de Takanakuy es permitir que las personas resuelvan disputas pendientes y diferencias personales de manera física y pública. Sin embargo, hay reglas y organización en torno a estas peleas para garantizar que sean seguras y controladas.

Merry XMass from your Messiah

The first text ever sent was Merry Christmas.

Every Dec 25th, a town in Peru celebrates "Takanakuy" where men, women and children settle grudges from the past year by calling each other out and having a fist fight. Then everybody goes drinking to numb the pain and move on to a new year.

"Takanakuy" is a high Andes ritual, as much a conflict resolution strategy as a cultural tradition. Each year, community members are selected as cargudos, responsible for organizing a series of dances, parades and ceremonies connected to Takanakuy. The festivities include a procession to honor baby Jesus of Nazareth.

It's been a really tough year, full of war, grief and disaster. But that's not the only story...

Did you know it's also been the best year ever for global health, conservation and clean energy and one of the best ever for economic and social justice?

Time to chillax with bits of Surf music now

I misread this as Wrath Day and thought you were implementing Takanakuy everywhere

i think we would all benefit from a new internationally recognized holiday called Wraith Day where you just shuffle around in a floor length hooded black cloak that completely obscures your entire physical form and communicate only in hisses and vague menacing gestures likea. wraith

Christmas traditions around the world, from fistfights to KFC : NPR

In this Dec. 25, 2015, photo, Karen Quispe prepares to fight another woman for sport at the Takanakuy ritual fighting event on the outskirts of Lima, Peru. Taking part in the fights is voluntary, and no one is obligated to accept a challenge. But by refusing to participate, the challenged party automatically acknowledges the superiority of their rival.

PeruMỗi năm một lần, người dân thị trấn Santo Tomás có một dịp để giải quyết bất đồng bằng cách đánh nhau tại một đấu trường trước sự cổ vũ của cộng đồng. Thị trấn có khoảng 10.000 người nhưng chỉ có 3 cảnh sát, tòa án gần nhất cách đó 12 giờ lái xe và không phải ai cũng có đủ chi phí kiện tụng. Vì vậy đánh nhau để giải quyết mọi mâu thuẫn, bất đồng là truyền thống của người dân. Lễ hội Takanakuy năm 2022. Ảnh: Vice Phong tục này có tên là Takanakuy, ghép giữa hai từ "Takar" nghĩa là "đánh" và "Nakuy" nghĩa là "có đi có lại". Diễn ra từ ngày 24 - 26/12 hàng năm, lễ hội diễn ra với mục đích bắt đầu một năm mới với một khởi đầu mới, nên mọi cuộc chiến đều bắt đầu và kết thúc bằng một cái ôm.Mọi người sẽ đứng thành vòng tròn để xem những trận đánh một đấu một. Luật quy định các đấu thủ được phép đấm, đá và tát. Các hành động như cắn, giật tóc, đánh khi đối phương bị ngã và ôm nhau đều bị cấm. Xung quanh đấu trường là những giám khảo cầm roi và sẵn sàng can thiệp khi các đấu thủ hay đám đông trở nên quá khích.Thị trấn Santo Tomás nằm ở dãy Andes, cao 3.600 mét. Người dân đều rèn luyện sức khỏe từ bé để có thể sinh tồn và làm việc tại môi trường khắc nghiệt. Các trận chiến này cũng để chứng minh với cộng đồng rằng bạn là người đáng tin cậy, sẵn sàng bảo vệ bản thân và những người thân yêu trước những bất công và nghịch cảnh. Những năm gần đây phụ nữ cũng tham gia đánh nhau để giải quyết bất đồng. Ảnh: Vice Vào ngày lễ Takanakuy địa vị xã hội được bỏ qua. Các trận chiến có thể diễn ra giữa sếp với nhân viên, phục vụ bàn với chủ cửa hàng, hay chị em trong nhà với nhau. Mọi người đều có thể tham gia, bất kể giới tính và tuổi tác. Phụ nữ cũng bắt đầu đánh nhau trong những năm gần đây, mặc dù không phải ai cũng hài lòng v�� điều đó.Một quy tắc quan trọng của lễ hội Takanakuy là không có người chiến thắng. Khác với một phiên tòa, những trận đánh này không phải để phán quyết người đúng kẻ sai....
