Denmark returns iconic indigenous cloak to Brazil
Tumblr media
The National Museum of Denmark is handing over an iconic cloak belonging to an indigenous group in Brazil at a ceremony being attended by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Considered sacred by the indigenous Tupinambá people, the garment was taken from Brazil during the Portuguese colonial period and has been on display in Copenhagen since 1689.
The 1.8m-long cloak is made of 4,000 red feathers from the scarlet ibis bird.
Brazil’s government has been trying to recover artefacts taken during the colonial period from around the world.

August 2nd marks the International Day of Remembrance of the Roma Genocide Victims.
On the night of August 2-3, 1944, around 3,000 Roma prisoners were killed in gas chambers in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. It took 52 years for this day of remembrance to be established, which was spearheaded by leaders of Roma organizations from 10 European countries and the USA.
Ukraine has observed this day since 2004. In this remembrance, there are 140 places of mass execution of Roma by the Nazis in Ukraine.
Babyn Yar was one of them. In September 2016, a memorial monument was put in place of a Roma tent covered in bullet holes from machine gun fire.
Tumblr media
"Babyn Yar is a horror for Gypsies. They died without even knowing what they were being killed for,” says Roma writer Rani Romani (Raisa Nabaranchuk),whose grandmother died there.
On this day, the Holodomor Museum reminds us that, "it is crucial to emphasize again that human life is of the highest value, and human rights require unquestionable observance. Disrespecting and neglecting them leads to the gravest crimes."

Hi.
I'm going to break my very strict format for once because I need your help. For the past 9 years, the irl human behind this blog has been involved in the effort to save a museum from incompetent and money hungry executives.
The museum is filled with precious objects, telling the story of the history of technology, and how it relates to art and society.
Many of these are objects are large, but delicate and have been in place for over 30 years.
No one within the museum's community trusts the CEO, who was appointed by a hostile former government, and prefers renting out museum spaces for business functions over educating the public.
In a few days, the museum is set to close down for renovations. Yet none of the staff or volunteers have been given any clear details about these plans. All we know is displays which have inspired generations will be torn down, likely never to be restored.
We have a petition asking the new government to step in and stop the closure:
If you could sign this, you'd be doing the human behind this blog a massive favour.

have Jedidiah and Octavius watch brokeback mountain on Larry’s phone
Sorry anon, but my headcanon is that Jedediah watches it alone for some reason (maybe Octavius was busy that night with something else) and he starts questioning his whole existence.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Internalized homophobia am I right? (Also Jed is definitely the kind of person who thinks like 'this isn't all that bad except from when I'm doing it, then it's the worst thing ever). Anyway, I think it's way more difficult to actually think about your feelings than just have them. It can be scary too, putting a proper name on a situation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then he just kinda dissappears for a few weeks, no one knows where he is. He doesn't say anything to anyone but even when he gets back he kinda avoids everyone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He vents to Larry without giving him any context.
Tumblr media
Octavius just blames Larry. It was something on the phone that made Jedediah upset, so naturally it must be Larry's fault.
Tumblr media
They make up in the end but I don't know if they talk about what actually happened. Maybe Octavius watches brokeback mountain too and he understands idk
A little sequel to this here

In order to turn a very embarrassing moment of my life into something funny have this stupid Timbern au:
The Drakes are alive so Tim is still on track for being the heir of D.I. but is interning at W.E. for the summer because Bruce offered a position
Bernard has been interning at W.E. as well, for volunteering hours
The both work in a small, newer branch of W.E. that focuses on cultivating more information about Gotham’s history
Bernard’s there because it's the most teen focused thing and Tim’s there because he wants to figure where exactly the Lazarus pit is under Gotham so he can mess with Ra’s
They are currently stationed at an old house that was made into a museum which is managed by Wayne Enterprises, but since most of it is a museum there are only a few rooms to actually work, however it being a teen thing it’s very much choose your own hours so that prevents too many people from being there at once
Tim, who doesn’t want someone to come in a see the fact that he’s already finished cataloging all of the 2023 Donations to the museum and is instead using the time to further research the numerous curses in Gotham and/or watch Demon Slayer, is very happy about this fact and only comes at either the earliest or latest times so he gets a room to himself and only has to pretend to be going through boxes when someone checks on him
Bernard immediately messes up Tim’s plan
He’s always there- morning, night, even when Tim changes up his schedule
And no matter how many how many empty rooms there might be he always finds Tim and sits with him, even the time Tim tried to hide in the attic under the guise of organizing a couple boxes up there
Being the paranoid idiot that he is Tim assume that Bernard is a from the League of Assassins and enacts a 46-step plan to figure out what he’s planning (read: stalks him) and in the course of it ends up falling in love
Meanwhile on Bernard’s side, the first week of the internship he walked into the room Tim was in and wanted to be friends with the cute boy
The reason that he kept finding Tim was that he was talking to Dick Grayson, his gymnastics instructor, and Dick had realized that the boy in question was his honorary little brother and told Bernard that “Timmy’s shy, you just have to break down his walls to get to know him” and tells him when Tim’s going to the museum
Dick is well aware of what Tim thinks the situation is because he’s the one Tim rants to, but he thinks it’s funny and will make for a great story to tell at their wedding

i feel like "it's important to not disregard the overarching message of a story in favor of fandomizing its characters for your own gratification" and "fandom, aus, and shipping are the audience's way of showing how deeply your story and characters have resonated with them and it's not disrespectful for them to want to explore dynamics and scenarios outside of what is present in canon" are two notions that can and should coexist
