Animals by Hebe Uhart, translated by Robert Croll

George Musters, in his book At Home with the Patagonians, says that the people there have a custom of allocating a few mares and stallions to a child at birth. The parents cannot sell or trade them; they're the child's property. If a boy dies, they'll also kill the dogs, horses, and other animals that accompanied him. It's the same when an adult dies; the animal he used to use is sacrificed and his clothing and belongings burned. And couples who have no children will adopt puppies and allot horses and other articles of value to them.

Margaret Mead, regarding the indigenous inhabitants of New Guinea, says that everyone there is constantly touching and hugging each other, and when there are no other human beings nearby, they'll embrace a dog or a pig; she says that they pamper pigs so much they seem like dogs; they'll bow their heads when reprimanded and nuzzle up against a person's body when they mean to ask for something. On the day of the festival of pigs, the people sprinkle them with holy water and will often sing the name of their favorite pig in refrain.

Perito Moreno tells of how once, when he asked an Indian friend, María, if he could borrow a horse from her, she said: 

“Ask the dog.”

She added that the dog was the owner of four horses, two cows, and a bull, and she also told him that her puppy once chased after a guanaco that had come up to the tents and came back from this pursuit bleeding, and in response to this the women all cried and sacrificed a mare to the Evil Spirit so as to ease the animal's suffering. Perito Moreno also describes how some guanacos once came up to him when their curiosity conquered their fear. He whistled Rigoletto for them, and he says that they "paid great attention, stretched out their necks, and made pirouettes, but I think they preferred Aida.”

Returning to Musters, he says the spoiled puppies of the Indians ride on horseback along with the smallest children, and he once even saw a hen laying on horseback, brooding just as well as you please! And he adds that one of his native friends, old Orkeke, dispatched one of the Chileans who was passing through the camp to cross the river with his puppies up in his arms so they wouldn't get wet. 

Musters also says the Indians tame horses more gently than whites, so that there are no nervous horses, and they'll put leather shoes on them for climbing up steep or rocky slopes. 

In the indigenous children's world, animals are very present; skunks and rhea chicks serve as playthings, and the parents will make them miniature bolas to hunt for small animals. In his friend Orkeke's tent, there were two domesticated skunks who carried themselves like kittens.

To the indigenous people of Patagonia, animals are the equivalent of the mountain to the populations who live in forests or jungles: the mountain gives them everything. Among the Patagonians, animals provided everything: they ate the guanaco's meat and used their hide to make cloaks, blankets, and tent coverings; they fashioned pipes and used ostrich feathers to clean them. The shell of a rhea's egg served as a cup for coffee. The armadillo's shell was a vessel for drinking soup or storing sewing tools. From the guanaco's forelegs they made little boots for the children, and from the guanaco's tendons they made thread to stitch their blankets.

There were, in that region, migratory birds: blue and orange parrots that flew from Entre Ríos to Patagonia. The natives asked Musters where England was, and he said: "Where the sun comes up." And they would think, quite logically, that if there are traveling birds, there might be traveling people as well. (Surroundings, pp. 1339-42)

The anteater looks like it was created in parts, like those houses with clashing add-ons. They're always walking hunched over in search of ants. According to Toba legend, when a great fire came and laid waste to everything, the people sought shelter inside a well; the deity allowed them to come out as long as they didn't look around, but the first to come out was a little old woman, hunched and with bent fingers, very curious. Since she disobeyed, she was turned into an anteater. (They're crooked, slow, and walk with their feet bent inward.) They defend their young from the jaguar's attack clumsily, in fits and starts, and people don't consume their meat. Why have they caught man's attention? For their looks. From bears they have only the fur, the snout comes from a tapir, and the claws look like the talons of some enormous bird. And people wonder why they have a mouth so small you couldn't even fit a finger inside and an extremely long tongue. In summer they shade themselves from the sun with their enormous tails (their only beautiful feature). And they can swim, crossing rivers just like that. They only live in America, and when the Europeans first saw them, they were astonished by their appearance. They also called them caballos hormigueros, ant horses. One will cover himself right up to the head with his tail, whether from rain or sun, and that blanketing tail makes him look more absurd than he is, but now I'd like one myself so I wouldn't need an umbrella or a hat to block the sun. In the mountains they can get by on ants; in captivity they have to be fed a supersmoothie of yogurt, eggs, mincemeat, vitamins, fruit, and low-lactose milk. On a TV program, a woman was keeping one as a pet. What would they name him? I’d call him Ruperto, but I wouldn't want him as a pet. He looks like an outlandish walking hut; it's unsettling to see a hut moving around. The woman who keeps him as a pet has a face that says she believes in destiny and will accept and celebrate any incident fate or chance may bring. She says, with a smile filled with understanding:

"He likes to get into the freezer."

Of course she lets him. Mysteries. (The Anteater, pp. 149-50)

There’s a bear who eats flowers and scratches his body up against a tree. He wears an expression of great happiness; I’d like to try both of those things.

How strange is life upon earth. (Oddities, p. 205)

I feel bad for not updating the UHART fic for so long but I started it when I was feeling really sad after learning about my own diagnosis. I'm not as sad anymore, so it's hard to write it now... I'll just have to tap into my inner angst I suppose.

8/5/24

9:34 a.m Added to/Edited 9:52 a.m

The only thing I can think of are the commonalities with the two nights that I had to double up to sleep:

1) I had 2 Red Bulls.

2) Both days were a game day where I did nothing but game. I gamed for like 8-10 hours yesterday. The day before my dad's house I gamed for like 8 hours at least.

3) Having a little caffeine after 5 p.m

Other than that there aren't other commonalities. I didnt even shower both of those days cause I showered the day before my dad's and the night I came home from dad's.

I didn't even make a phone call or run an errand or anything. I relaxed. I relaxed and played Minecraft both days and played my heart out. I mean that's all I can say.

I slept fine the night I came home from my fathers on the standard dose but I was outside. I was social. I showered. I exposed myself to sunlight. Although the half was so thick it must have been a .7 or a .8....

Last night it was probably a .6 or .7. The night before my dad's I mean it was 1.5 by the time I fell asleep.

Was it bc I didn't do anything but game and I drank two Red Bulls? I mean I've had many red Bull days Aka 24 ounces of red Bulls.. and fell sleep on the standard dose.

I had anxiety last night cause I could only take 1, 50 mg of CBD cause I only had one more gummie left. Im getting them today.

Today I'm feeling really depressed, I don't have many things on my list of things to do. Shave my face/Head idk If I'm going to do it. I'll likely shower.

Part of me wants to bring the clear bin by my game stack up to the attic despite it being empty mostly. It only has my uhart target bag in it and 2 shirts I don't like much. I wanted to fill it but I'm sick of it taking up space in my room. I can always bring stuff upstairs and fill it.

I was also planning to "set up" both Macbooks. One is purely professional and is set up. The other I want to hook my fb to and Instagram bc it's my "gaming/fun" macbook.

I'm meeting with Erin today. I'd do laundry but I'm going to wait until later this week.

This whole week I barely have anything to do but therapy Tuesday and thursday. I have nothing to be anxious about. I know I was anxious about my cbd.

I am anxious about my uti... but I'm coping. I honestly just want to watch TV. I used to have TV days but now that my gamers burn out has been cured every day I can relax I just game.

Idk ill eventually get out of the rut and at least shower.

I still got to figure out what to do with the mouse deodorant and stuff...

I also got to finish putting my shreddables in bins but I'm absolutely not doing that today.

I got to try to be active. I just feel depressed cause I had my eyes closed for a long time and couldn't sleep... and then I don't want to buy cbd but it def helped with my panic attacks...

I def had some microsleep flashbacks last night and the night before my dad's. Rapid eye movement nervousness about it being fucked up and not working right/not being in alignment.

I mean I bought 100mg a day of CBD again.... I want to go down to 50 but my brain is like take 100mg fuck the money... and I used to not even be able to think about the word panic without having heart palpitations.... so it's hard to decide not to buy it.

I also notice white on my inner cheeks could be From SLS and my cheek healing now that I removed it... or could be a yeast infection, when I have my psychical I'm going to ask to get tested for yeast again as my tongue is still black hairy tongue that is insanely clean bc I scrap it twice a day... but with the white on inner cheeks if it doesn't clear up, it could be yeast or a sign of cancer...

I'm just wondering why I'm trying so hard. Part of me is like go to prime house despite knowing I won't meet anyone there anyways.

Another thing that is getting to me is my ac is slowly shitting the bed and I can afford to put it on the new credit line... I mean not if I want to get a bed... but I feel I may have to spring the cash from the new credit line cause it really is shitting the bed.

Also my cigarettes are due soon. I got one more carton and I don't want to go to new Hampshire but I'm thinking like somewhere around the 15th or so... that'll be another bill... I wanted to get my southern degree replaced with my name... but I can't afford the fee cause I had to pay for my car taxes. Also l salvariuos. And cbd...

Maybe next month. Also I have to eventually bring in my "gaming" Macbook to apple but can't this month too broke.

I def have money anxiety. And I was thinking about going to prime house today bc maybe it is just 2 red bulls and gaming all day effecting my ability to sleep and caffeine after 5 p.m... cause that is also a commonality between the night before dad's and last night.

So yea I'm a ball of anxiety and I'm sick of being alone and i wish I could find a gf.

Beyond that my car ac is terrible.. I'm sick of how hot it is. It makes me want to stay in the house all day everyday. I can't wait for the weather to be less fucking disgusting.

Being in my car makes me nasous it's so fucking hot and I can't even crack a windows both motors on the driver side and passenger side are blown.

SÉANCE #5 — Non, les Redditeurs ne sont pas des reclus crasseux

Les réseaux socionumériques ne cessent d’évoluer, de s’adapter, en proposant aux utilisateurs et utilisatrices de nouveaux usages, de nouveaux moyens de se divertir, de s’informer, de communiquer, etc. Au-delà de ça, ils permettent aux internautes de créer des communautés en ligne pour se réunir et socialiser. Ces communautés virtuelles offrent à ses membres non seulement des moyens de socialiser en ligne, mais aussi de socialiser parfois hors ligne. Ainsi, on peut dire d’elles qu’elles rassemblent les gens.

En effet, les réseaux socionumériques réunissent jusqu’à parfois des millions de gens autour d’un ou plusieurs intérêts communs. La plateforme Reddit constitue à mon avis un exemple évocateur. Les utilisateurs et utilisatrices, appelé(e)s Redditeur peuvent, comme dans n’importe quel autre site web communautaire, se regrouper en communautés, appelés subreddits, afin d’échanger, publier, commenter, s’informer ou encore se divertir. Il existe une immense quantité de subreddits aux sujets divers et variés. En outre, il se passe sur la plateforme de grands événements collaboratifs qui rassemblent au-delà des « Subreddit », comme celui du "Pixel War". Cet événement, qui s’est déroulé du 20 au 25 juillet 2023, a réuni un très grand nombre d’internautes autour de la création d’une grande fresque virtuelle composées de milliers de petits pixels (Uhart, France info, 20 juin 2023). Plusieurs médias, à travers le monde entier, ont couvert l'événement. Y compris ceux du service public comme France info.

(Uhart, France info, 20 juin 2023)

Étant moi-même un « Redditeur » assidu de cette plateforme, j’interagis tous les jours avec plusieurs inconnus qui partagent souvent bien des intérêts et avis semblables. Mais je dois admettre que c’est en grande partie pour profiter de l’humour qui circule sur cette plateforme que je me connecte régulièrement.

Cela m’amène donc à défendre l’idée que mes pratiques et celles de tous les autres utilisateurs et utilisatrices des réseaux socionumériques comme Reddit peuvent être considérées comme des formes de socialisation.

Certes, certains pourraient rétorquer qu’ils nous isolent physiquement des autres.

Néanmoins, je réfute cette prémisse puisque les communautés virtuelles sur les plateformes numériques permettent également de réunir des gens physiquement. Les réseaux socionumériques nous donnent l’occasion de prendre contact avec des inconnus sur la base d’intérêts communs, d’apprendre à les connaître et ainsi de former des groupes qui peuvent, s’ils le souhaitent, se coordonner, se rencontrer et socialiser dans la réalité physique.

Ainsi, contrairement aux gens qui affirment que ces réseaux nous éloignent les uns des autres, je pense plutôt qu’ils nous rassemblent.
