[...P]rior to 4500 B.C. (the onset of the Bronze Age), widespread cultural uniformity throughout Europe and Western Asia centered on the worship of a great-goddess figure, first in the form of a Mistress of Wild Animals (often depicted as androgynous or hermaphroditic) and later, after the invention of agriculture, in the form of a Grain Goddess. Commonly associated with this Great Goddess, especially after 7000 B.C., was a subordinate male deity, often depicted in the form of a bull or a horned figure.

you ever see discourse about something where youre like yeah that kinda sucks but isnt all that bad in the grand scheme

but then the person its about reacts to it in the most outlandish indefensible way that youre like actually im against it now

*did* someone ever get you started about how cat anatomy is similar to humans? ����

If yes where can I find it please?

I think someone did.

In case I can't find it and you're the lucky person to get me started, I am more than glad to educate. >:}

A cat's digestive tract is almost identical to a humans save for the fact that humans can smell lilies without dying and eat things most animals generally can't (like chocolate). I mean, they got an appendix, an ileum, a jejunum, a colon, a liver, kidneys...

I'm probably grossing out people but... Somebody gotta do it.

And cats brains are built similar to humans: just smaller. They have a dura mater, an arachnoid mater and a pia mater... SPECIFICALLY IN THIS ORDER WORKING FROM THE OUTSIDE IN :D

The dura mater is how we feel pain. The arachnoid and pia mater handles everything else. Such as reaction and moving our muscles for us.

And how I know this? I was originally supposed to go to college to be a surgeon but my old college really screwed me up and pushed me in liberal arts. Oy vey... And my major changed because of this. I changed it to business in the culinary arts because when I'm not writing fanfiction, I'm... Uh... I'm raiding the cupboards.

And the name of the cat we dissected was called Lord Farquaad. That was in 2018.

[sparklyaxolotlstudent]

The more I see about "Oye Primos" and how the staff are reacting to the controversy, the more I think is revenge for the "No se habla de gringos" and "Shut up Gringo" from Encanto.

Like, the intro itself has only some problematic but kind of passable stuff (Calling their neighborf "Earthquake heights", the thrash, the incorrect grammar... ). But then we have them saying that Spanish is a language brought by colonizers and forced upon us, which is technically true, but she's using English to convey that message, which is the same thing. Or saying that they're lucky they weren't born in a shit country like Mexico... Or calling "grammar nazis" the people correcting the title (It should be "Oigan primos", or "Oye primo"). I won't be surprised if next they call us racists for not liking the show.

[ghostatrandom]

Listen, the one thing I will say about the Disney Show: Primos is damn, I'm tired..

Mostly because on one hand: this show technically does not reflect my reality, or any southamerican reality. This was a show made by and for Latino-north americans (Latino gringo if you wanna be more explicit). The no sabo kids deserve to have their mixed culture represented on tv, because I can't imagine what is like to be an inmigrant child that is constantly told that they are not accepted in any of their cultural heritages. This should not be my place to speak.

(Also without mentioning that latinoamerica also has racist roots, I have already seen redesigns making the protagonist light-skinned saying she is now argentinian. Just tell me you envy my tanned sweet skin you bastarda conchesumare-)

But on the other hand: it kinda is my place to speak? Because even if this show tries to only show a mexican-american culture, sadly, at the eyes of the white public, there is no difference. They will probably assume that yeah, this is a southamerican reality, that shows many of the estereotypes/shared realities that latino people have been fighting against (because yeah, my family grew up in a single household for a long time, and I love my family, but that wasn't healthy, we are much better now living in our own spaces). Especially because when you label a show as a "latino show", you generalize the culture, and we are the ones who have to educate time and time again that no, we are not a single culture, We share the palo encebado and a lot of recipes, but we are not a mono-culture.

Also a lot of the crew has been outright mean? Not very receptive of the simple criticism of "es oigan primos, no oye primos" and calling spanish a colonizer language? Which, yeah, it is, but hear yourself for a moment and tell me, what language are you speaking?

It feels patronizing, it might be that weird internalized envy every latino feels when someone is out of this region and fullfilling that "american dream" we were fed up everytime we were kids. And know seeing our cultures distorted on a big tv channel is breaking our pride.

But I don't blame the full crew, they grew up in that distorted reality of what it means to be latino, to be rejected by both sides and growing up without a clear identity.

Yet, it still feels wrong to feel good about this show, but it feels wrong to try to hate it? Is this what No Sabo people feel all the time? It's weird

I guess all I'm going to say: this could've been avoided if they hired hispanic-speaking people into the crew.

[saveme-storybrooke-potc]

This is just one big rant of mine because I am just tired at this point.

Can the newer (just now rising to fame) Hispanic/Latino actors PLEASE stop trying to gaslight young Latinos by telling them that there are little to no Latino content out there?

I am so sick of this "Diversity" ideology that is out there, people are acting like just because there are shows out there with a White cast that it's bad when it isn't.

Things don't have to have a bit of EVERYTHING just to be good.

and I'm not saying that we shouldn't see things like poc or lgbtq (but I'm mainly talking about poc) but I want to see things more naturally and NOT meant to be there as a way to say "I LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU AND YOU MATTER"

because guess what? We were fine with the media we had beforehand where we just had a show that had a multi-cultured cast and it wasn't treated as a big deal it was just enjoyed. And there can still be lessons on why some people may not be treated equally but I want the media to treat us like we are actual human beings and NOT some marketing tool or used because now you won't be eligible for the Oscars unless you have a good majority of minorities in the cast.

But back on Hispanics, there is this new show called "Oye Primos" (Which is the best example on why we don't need any more "diversity" in the media) and when people pointed out that there was a problem with the spelling the creator behind it went on to say "Spanish isn't even the Mexican language it is the language that we use now that we've been colonized" (I will fix the quote but it was from a video so I don't remember it word for word) But SHE is choosing to make the show about Mexico after Spain happened. Also, Spain colonized Latin America hundreds of years ago so I don't get why she's the one complaining, if she really wanted to do something then she should have made a show or movie to "educate" people on the history.

But she also says (Which is just straight up BS):

“As a kid, I didn’t see myself or my culture represented onscreen,” Kline recalled. “So I’m excited to share my family dynamic through these new Disney characters and stories.”

Which chica Disney is NOT the place you want to work for to create your Hispanic heritage into content.

Some people are complaining about the "stereotype" of "big Latino family small house" (which I can't really comment on because that's literally my uncle and his kids) I don't really like the word "Stereotype" when it refers to something you see every day (like if you were to say "How dare they use the stereotype that Asians are hard at studying" which is only an example of how people complain when it comes to it but that isn't really a harmful stereotype on how people look at Asians it's just a difference in culture and behaviour compared to white folk because even Hispanics or at least people in Ecuador are hard at studying) But I WILL comment on the kid's names because good Lord are they atrocious. Listen I know that kids' shows choose to give the kids weird ass names to describe their personalities (violently side-eying Ever After High, and Descendants here) but those names are like what Mexicans cook on Cinco de Mayo celebration I don't know about any of you but we've never given each other nicknames after food (my cousin's was literally "The Tank" and she was a fucking child) What are you going to do next? introduce a kid named Empanada?

Do you want to know an amazing Latino show?

George Lopez THAT is a show that is about Latinos (and other minorities), all laughs reminds you all the time that he is Mexican married to a Cuban but it's still not rubbing it in your face. This is an old show that should never die because it is perfect because it pokes fun at everyone and everything while also teaching great value to different everyday struggles.

Please can I stop being told that I am not represented as a Latino in the media, hell I'm from Ecuador and I don't complain about there being hardly any Ecuadorian content other than (as far as I am aware of) Miguel Diaz from Cobra Kai which of course I enjoyed to see but that was only a small detail about the character that wasn't made his whole character and that's why I watch the show. And yes I always joke about wanting Disney to make a movie about Ecuador (before I even consider watching Encanto yet) but like it's not that deep to me.

We literally have our own channels so half the time we really dgaf about what Hollywood is whining about go touch grass if your main concern is there "aren't enough poc" in the media over any other important issue in the world.

[cowboymenace]

the !OYE PRIMOS! discourse is funny cuz the staff clearly had no one one on the team who spoke spanish fluently, and rather than admit theyre mistake theyre doing the chicano move of "um actually this language is a colonizer language so who cares if i speak spanish incorrectly" which is what i did last year to cope with not knowing spanish. i get that reasoning but theres way more people speaking latin american spanish than there are speaking spain spanish or castilian spanish. it's our language now.

however the amount of nonlatinos or edgy latinos who doing the "UGH LATINX IS SO CRINGE" shit is just as annoying. it's super performative and i know your ass doesnt know spanish either. if i see that fuckin comic or cartoon of the american made latino cartoon vs mexican made cartoon one time im gonna punch them in the neck

[ithaerielbrenagh]

Oye feck colonizers!

[cyggiestardust]

Honestly?

I don't know when I'll be ready to talk about the majority of what has happened since the last time that any of you really saw me. It's not something that I'm proud of and honestly what it feels like in my body is that I just started combination venlafaxine and klonopin withdrawal at the same time.

I don't recommend it. It's brutal shit. I feel like I've done micro razor cuts into my muscle directly and then applied...vodka with salt. Liquid that should be washing this stuff out of my system just makes it feel worsse than when I originally started.

I'm just going to get to the biggest piece of it, because that is honestly the worst part of it:

My relationship has fallen apart, violently so. (No one is in any danger, despite all the people who seem to think that I am one.) It happened last week. Day before Colonizer Food Day.

(Well I sure as fuck don't have much to be thankful for, so leave me alone on my word choices there. Also fuck off I'm half Mayan I'm not celebrating the men who bought and sold my people. Fuck you thinking.)

I had one of my anger outbursts the day before I went on grippy sock vacation. The trigger: I lost my keys. I lost my keys and suddenly I was in the space between the living room, the hallway, and the kitchen, freaking out because I was in absolute apocalyptic trouble for losing the keys, the last thing that I had a responsibility for.

Is this minor? Fucking yes. But it still happened. Pillows went places, furniture got punched, and have you ever heard a draconic therianthrope primal scream because there is just no way to get that shit out of the body otherwise? I felt like I was on fire, and things needed to fucking die. The inside of my head knew oy th desire for destruction, and there was only one way to get it out of me, because apparently people freak out at my volume. Another trauma. I'm not currently worried about pulling that rabbit out of the hat right now. There is too much shiti to take care of to do that right now.

By the end of the outburst I was in the other side of when these things happen: the guilt, the shame, and the wanting to absolutely fucking die. That thanatic impulse was so strong that day that when I shut myself in the back room I made a concerted effort to perforate a major artery in my arm with a medium point ink pen that I immediately managed to lose on the first stab.

...which was just as well becaause as much as I wanted to fucking die right then and there, this right here would have been a very permanent solution to a very temporary problem.

So I picked up one of my older belts, one of the ones that has actually come with me from every place that I've lived. Its front is worn, the elastic stuff on it almost worn soft.

In other words, the perfect flogger for a former Catholic with tendencies to take violent urges out on zirself rather than trynig to fight everyone else.

By 100 lashes in all that I had left to sit with was the anger again.

Usually that fixes it. This time it did not.

I did somethng that I always second, third, fourth-guess when it came to talk to my...

...Christ, what do you call them when your handfasting falls apart? Is there a word for that? Do we need to make a word for such a depressing situation? (I mean probably.) (At any rate I'm going to stop trying to look it up in the library because this is actually making me intensely mournful. It's bad enough I need my breakup playlist to do this in the first place.)

Anyway, I was honest about how bad it was. That I needed help.

I should have remembered that never goes well.

-----

Several things happened while I was in there: There were so many Trauma Bumps before we ever even really got together, but I think the straw that broke the sacrifical llama's bac was my going off on them when the phone went straight to voicemail trying to call in when I finally woke up situatued. I panicked. I was ugly. I lashed out at them because I thought I was being abandoned.

Again.

The breakup came over the phone, where other people in the bin were able to watch me break.

Something my head snapped. The time I finally admit that I can't do this alone, I...have to.

The good news is, I have a place to stay while I fight these people on my disability.

It's all so complicated. I might need a few days to explain how everything is fucked. My head is fuzzy and I don't think I can keep thinking today.

Unless I know you well, no questions right now.

"OY! Stay away from her!" a loud voice rings out. You turn around and see your date for the evening, Sir Harry Kane, angrily walking towards the French fellow who was asking you for a dance. "Stay away from her or my fist will colonize your face like your country colonized half of the world!" he threatens.

Pigment and Valentine?

pigment; what color is your hair naturally? if you could dye it any color which one would you choose?

My hair is naturally a dark brown color! If you were to find it in a crayola crayon box it would probs be called “Burnt Umber Brown”

I’d loooove to dye it a dark pink or a dark red purple color. I even have the box but I don’t know how to properly dye hair myself. I know there are some countries who are always dying their hair or know how to do a good job with it but I personally don’t know them well enough to ask.

valentine; best gift you’ve ever received?

"oh, my god." luz rolled her eyes. "i can't believe i let myself forget how annoying you were for a minute." she really couldn't believe it, actually, because intermittently she was enjoying herself. between the digs and comebacks (okay, some of which were pretty good), maybe thiago wasn't so bad. and he was helping her. aaand maybe she did sort of enjoy the arguing, not that she should. she was starting to get in her head a little bit, breezing past whatever stupid jokes he was making about miley cyrus and annoying comments he was making about museums when something stood out that really pissed her off.

"i don't think we can compare me finding the phaistos disc in crete while working in association with the archaeological society of athens the same as christopher columbus colonizing the neighbors of either of our ancestors, but go off i guess." but that wasn't actually enough. she turned on her heel to face him, finger pointing. "oye, chavo. you're lucky i'm not my mother, because she would've smacked you upside the head, but i don't parent that way." he wasn't a kid, but he was certainly getting more of a rise out of her than her daughter ever could've. "so how about i'll stop calling you a thief if you stop acting like i'm out here stealing artifacts for gold and glory, yeah?" although she'd certainly given as much shit to thiago as she was being dealt out. but, honestly, as a doctoral student, she was barely clearing the poverty line. which was the only reason rodrigo was able to get primary custody of naya. fucking trust fund archaeologist.

luz wasn't used to be shot at either. she had grown up modestly in yakima, washington, but it wasn't like she was dodging bullets as a kid. she played ball, she smoked weed, and she studied hard. still, she wasn't a stranger to the sound of gunshots and hit the deck accordingly as they rang out. at least thiago could keep his good humor about him. she returned his easy smile with a shaken one of her own. "glad you're an optimist." she joked, but she was glad. letting out a sharp exhale, she looked towards where they'd gone. "the only stealth kills i got were in call of duty, so how confident are you that we're making it out of here." with that disc, she didn't add. it sort of went without saying, but she really wondered if they'd make it out at all.

"it's always heartbreaking learning about our heroes' flaws," thiago retorted without losing a second, almost as if the comeback had been brewing in his head for a bit. he wasn't quick enough to avoid being hit even though he boasted about his quick reflexes to anyone willing (or not) to listen. "i had no idea you and miley cyrus were besties," he started, sarcasm dripping from every word. "how come you are lost in the middle of a jungle with me rather than in a malibu mansion, teaching miley kun fu?" one of his thick brows arched questioningly. "and 10% sexier is still better than not sexier at all. just so you know."

he watched her through narrowed eyes. it was a good enough explanation. and he really had no business questioning her. neither did he have any reason to suspect her intentions were spurred by a secret agenda. but that didn't mean he was going to let her off the hook so easily. "ah, so it's okay if you say that but provide no evidence it's the truth but if i do the same you accuse me of being a dirty thief." he crossed his arms over his chest and waited for the insult that in his mind was sure to come.

he had to admit the little crease that formed between his brows was quite cute. "Only the average citizen can locate the british museum on a map but would assume you're talking about a new social media app for the i-phone if you bring heraklion up." not that he thought the british museum had any right to exhibit pieces belonging to other cultures unless they had been temporarily exchanged. but many made a compelling case in the name of accessibility to culture, and he wanted to see how strong his argument was. "and isn't the purpose of museums to reach a wide range of people?" he couldn't help but chuckle at her admission. "oh, really? you discovered it? i'm pretty sure a certain christopher columbus said something similar a couple centuries ago." now he was getting smacked for sure.

thiago couldn't quite remember the first time bullets had rained upon him, it must have been before he could form proper sentences. but if he closed his eyes, he could still taste the fear in his mouth. after a while it got easy. it became part of the routine. for some, it was taking the commune. for thiago it was facing heavily armed, loosely moral men. so he granted luz time to recover, watching out for any sign of impending danger around them to grant her some privacy. the down from the rush of adrenaline could be quite overwhelming. when she took his hand, however, a playful smile took over his face as he nodded. "wouldn't be an adventure without some bad guys chasing us, would it?" thiago joked, helping her out of the bushes. "besides, now we know we are on the right path. what i don't know is how the hell did they find out about this location."

Purya Buyag

Cebuano expressions are everywhere and I'm telling you, you uttered almost half of it since you are a child.Some expressions came from a myth or so and some of it are just merely millenial things.One of them is, "purya buyag!".We often hear this from our bisaya parents.When a stranger praises the baby or a child, for example "Kagwapa gud sa imong baby oy." (Your baby is so beautiful) to which our parent replies "Purya buyag!".I surely can't count how many time i have heard it since I was born.I also remember hearing this almost everyday when my two nephews were born.The term buyag came from the spanish word "Fuera" that means away.It is really hard to say where the word or the expression originated.

Before the Spanish colonization, according to an article Visayans were badass.Back then, rituals and belief systems were there to guide lives of the Visayan people.Celestial bodies are some of the things we respect.Visayans believe that there is an unseen world full of creatures that we can't see.Such as engkantos, dwendes and diwatas or gods namely Malitong Yawa, Dalikmata, Makabosog and we also have Bathala and many more to mention that we almost forgot.One creature we believe in is the evil spirit that we are driving away when saying purya buyag. So the question is how do we use the word purya buyag?Usually said when someone sees an infant or child who looks cute.Used when a baby is being admired by another person."Kacute gud sa baby" (The baby is so cute) "Pila ka months?Gwapaha gud. " (How many months old is this baby?She is so beautiful.),these are one of the compliments the babies receive from relatives or even random people.Rose took her kid to the shopping center to get her something new to wear, abruptly the salesgirl spouts over her kid by saying:

Salesgirl: Wow...pagka-adorable na man lang bataa. (Gracious, what a charming kid.)

Rose: Buyag. (Underhanded spirits remain away)

This is where the purya buyag expression enters the conversation.It is said to prevent the evil spirit to take away the blessings.This expression is not only applied to babies, but to adults also.The expression is sometimes paired with another expression "Tabi apo".This is to show a sign of respect to the elementals or reatures we do not see.The term purya buyag is also used to announce your presence and for them to step aside and for you to avoid on stepping, hurting most importantly offending them.As the population developed alongside colonization, urbanization and modernisation, this profound feeling of regard is as yet reflected in our inactive conviction that specific spaces in nature are houses and domains of inconspicuous spirits. It likewise implies how we Filipinos see ourselves as basic co-occupants of a spot, along with the climate and otherworldly animals.

The term purya buyag has two different uses but on the ocassion of not saying it after a compliment or doing something in unfamiliar place, there is only one effect.Something bad happens the moment we don't reply from the admiration. Buyag is another type of odd notion that comes from animistic or customary convictions among Cebuanos as well as to most Filipinos. It is their method of understanding regular events, particularly on someone for which they don't completely comprehend what the primary driver are of the clinical/logical clarification o.f such an event. One sign or impact of a 'buyag' is a physical disease on somebody who is distressed by it. One of the principle purposes behind 'buyag' to happen is that the individual distressed didn't ask the consent from the soul living in a specific spot where the individual accomplished something. Another explanation is that the individual tormented accomplished something upsetting in a spot which is segregated or captivated – where a few spirits live in that domain.A few outcomes brought about by buyag could be both mellow or serious like gentle cases: skin rashes, odd staining, irritation, abrupt event of bubbles, and so on.Genuine cases: getting fever or wiped out unexpectedly; or, one could become ill for quite a while and that she needs a fix from somebody who is master in heading out that affliction or pacify the soul that caused that infection – an 'arbularyo'. This individual is thougth to have some exceptional aptitudes to recuperate by utilizing indigenous medication joined with his apparently additional capacity to speak with spirits in another domain. 'Buyag' can torment both small kids, children, and grown-ups.As a matter of fact buyag can emerge out of the spirits who live in some particular spots, or it tends to be brought about by somebody who said something to somebody. The remark or welcome could be the welcome inducer of an illness.

I imagined that this circumstance is novel in the Philippines, nonetheless, one of my understudies disclosed to me a comparative practice in Thailand. As per her, to keep malicious spirits from hurting a youngster or an infant, the Thais state to the kid: You are so terrible, I need to take you home and deal with you. (saying this in a spouting way while holding the cheeks of the newborn child or infant and kissing him abundantly.).Also through my research I discovered that the english term for purya buyag is thank you.It's that simple.Because americans don't have such belief in unseen creatures.There are two-word additions which start with the Spanish word "Puera." These are articulations that are spoken by the Ilonggos to drive away abhorrent spirits or to forestall detestable things to transpire when welcomed by outsiders or others. The most much of the time articulated is "Puera buyag!".Other "puera" articulations may mean uniquely in contrast to "buyag", yet, the idea of heading out troublesome happening is the equivalent. For example, when the Ilonggos state "Puera aswang!", this implies they ought not be beguiled. Another is "Puera lumay!", alluding to an admirer whom a lady loathes. It is articulated so the lady may not likely be bewildered to succumb to the admirer. At the point when Ilonggos don't needthat a similar shocking or tragic occasion be occurred for on them, they state "Puera gaba!" or "Puera sulay!".In fact, there is a song that is titled after the expression,purya buyag.

Their are so many cebuano expression and some of us, purya buyag is our favorite.It's not just and expression but it's also connected to our culture as Filipinos.We have so many superstitions that the incoming generation may forget.It's really nice to look back on our expressions' origins.May I say,hitsuraan kaayo mo buyag!
