Spotted Feline

Tolita-Tumaco

1st century BCE–4th century CE

This small anthropomorphized feline is carved of bone. The animal is standing upright in a human position, with front legs further raised like human arms. A huge head, as tall as the rest of the figure, has bared fangs, flared nostrils, and wide eyes that exude aggression and strength. Two different patterns elaborate the body. On the right are the dots of a spotted feline, while on the left is an unusual banded design. The meaning of this difference is unclear. Utilitarian objects such as needles, awls, spatulas, and fishhooks were also made of bone.

El anon de la marcha de colombia, la verdad estoy re perdido con las demás, pero les dejo un artículo que habla de la universidad nacional y un mini vent. Igual la idea es que se redacte un documento resumiendo bien la situación en el país, apenas pueda lo roto por acá.

https://revistaraya.com/ataques-a-la-prensa-y-empresas-paralelas-los-legados-de-dolly-montoya-en-la-nacho.html

Ahorita en la nacional tenemos dos problemas densos, 1. En 2019 la embajada de países bajos donó 12 millones de euros para la construcción de la sede de presencia nacional de Tumaco, Nariño.

No se ha hecho nada con esa plata (la sede actual son bunkers, donde meten clases de 30-40 personas a 40°) y la embajada dio plazo hasta el 19 de mayo para que se inicien contrataciones y obras o nos retiran el apoyo, hasta el día de hoy no se ha hecho ni mierda.

(destaco el comentario de un compa de Tumaco, la universidad es la única forma que tenemos de salir adelante, puedo contarles cuántos de mis amigos terminaron en la guerrilla, y no les cuento cuántos ya están muertos)

2. Se hizo una encuesta para la elección del nuevo rector, participan estudiantes, profesores, trabajadores y egresados, en esta ganó con el (creo) 32% Leopoldo Munera. Que pasa con esto? La encuesta no es vinculante, es una sugerencia que se da al Consejo Superior Universitario, donde 8 personas eligen al rector. Ahora, se armó un lío que no voy a detallar por medio a equivocarme, pero lo importante es que se inventaron un mecanismo de votación que asegura que no gane el más votado, y desde el ministerio de educación se pidió que se investigara que pasó, porque designaron al señor Ismael Peña, que quedó en 3er lugar con el 7% de apoyo.

Este señor se procesiona este jueves, EN LA SEDE TUMACO, el asqueroso hipócrita

Que alguien nos libere de la gente poderosa y corrupta que quiere mantener al pueblo ignorante.

Brazil Expands Amazon Route towards the Pacific

The goal is to boost the trade flow of countries in the region and also to open channels to more quickly transport Brazilian and South American products via the Pacific

Brazil has revised the routes of the South American integration plan and expanded the route made in the Amazon region with the support of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia.

Route 2, which will now be called the Amazon route, will now end at four ports in the Pacific Ocean: Tumaco (Colombia), Manta (Ecuador), and Paita and Chancay (Peru).

The original route connected Manaus (Amazonas) to Manta. The expanded route is one of the main bets of the Lula administration to expand Brazil's integration with Asia.

At some point I went through and looked at every Trader Joe's chocolate for a reason I cant remember, and they all had unsafe levels in either one or both (lead and cadmium). I believe the most cadmium in one was 26 µg (safe levels of cadmium is max 4.1 µg/day). So uh stay away from Trader Joe's chocolate.

For those interested, I just checked back and the one with 26 µg was: Trader Joe's The Dark Chocolate Lover's Chocolate Bar 85% Cacao (Tumaco)

Seated elder

Tolita-Tumaco

200 BCE–400 CE

This sculpture is one of the most spectacular examples of ceramic figures created by Tolita-Tumaco artists. It depicts an elderly person, recognizable by facial wrinkles, baggy skin beneath the eyes, the few remaining teeth, and chin stubble. Its flattened head reveals cranial modification during childhood, a cultural practice that could have signaled ethnic identity or rank in antiquity. The gender of this effigy is not clear. Marked nipples, as in this figure’s chest, were more common in female than male representations in Tolita-Tumaco and Jama-Coaque ceramic traditions of coastal Ecuador. This statue, however, lacks the long skirts that are typically seen in female images. Tolita-Tumaco potters are known for their realistic renderings of humans, such as the examples in the collections of Casa de Alabado in Quito and Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino in Santiago. Some of their figures are depicted leaning forward, adopting an animated pose, with flexed legs, arched torsos, and faces staring ahead. Elders were a popular theme, and several examples can be found in the collections of the Museo del Banco Central de Ecuador in Quito and in Guayaquil. A common interpretation is that these elder figures were representations of religious specialists, or ancient "shamans" who had the responsibility to mediate relations between people and other beings in nature. The marked spine in the back may be revealing of more than a very lean body, as it bears a resemblance to iguanas. With dry and wrinkled skin, the comparison of Tolita-Tumaco revered elders with those reptiles could have been a way to evoke the human-animal connection that is a key element in shamanistic rituals.

PARODIANDO A ARACATACA

Siempre que mencionan a Gabriel García Márquez y su incunable Cien Años de Soledad pienso, y lo he dicho una y otra vez, que qué tal que ese monstruo hubiese nacido en Tumaco. Hoy que cumpliría 98 ruedas el vate, voy a tomarme la licencia de referirme, con el mayor de los respetos, a él, a su obra y a su pueblo. Por allá en algún año de los vibrantes ochenta, luego en todo caso de nuestro…
