Tlālōlin F.G.H. (he/him)

I remember seeing the salaries in PE in my last year as an adjunct, while working at two colleges in cities 40 miles apart, teaching 4 courses, and not even earning 1/2 the advertised salary.

I considered that it might be healthier to strive to be an asst. mgr. rather than an asst. prof.

Odd that Homan hasn't made any propaganda appearances recently.

Our world would be a much different place if more people knew about Gonzalo Guerrero, Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, and Vasco de Quiroga instead of Cristóbal Colón.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death. The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died. While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants. Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

Algo que se me hace muy de hueva es que la derecha en México solo es una copia de los talking points de la ultraderecha gringa.

A qué se refieren cuando critican "ideología woke"?

As someone who grew up hearing conservative talk radio hosts rail against participation trophies, this cracks me up.

The worst part of the asinine proposition that you can "catch autism" via circumcision is the erasure of autistic women.

So much absolutely deadly and awful garbage that is spewing from Leatherface's brain worm.

Just seeing the news about Mark Bray, hfs. I hope he and his family are safe.

The geese are steppping

Goose chasing person meme. Line drawings. Two panels. First panel with text on goose saying who were antifa against during the Weimar republic? Second panel with goose chasing person saying who were they against.

"Honey where's that rumbling coming from?"

-The sound of WW2 casualties and vets rolling in their graves after that farce at the White House today.

What a dishonor.

Those bastards

Newsom needs to lean into ICE at the Superbowl. Get the National Guard out there and search & interrogate each and every person that attends the game. Fat cats who can afford tickets think they are immune, make sure they aren't.

Turn Levi Stadium into the South Shore Drive apartment complex.

Lol, I liked this welcome tune better.

Hi, I’m an Early 2010s Tech CEO I wear the same T-shirt every day, and I have a relatably unkempt haircut. I remind you of the smart kids from high school, so I give you hope that...

That is one hell of a headline. A more accurate one reads like: "ignoring reality and legal precedent, president Trump deploys National Guard to Democrat-led cities"

I've strived to speak the truth and correct my position when presented with verifiable evidence. The ease with which this administration lies and doublespeaks cuts deep and is enraging

❓Do you have an #earthquake prediction? The Collaboratory for the Study of #Earthquake Predictability(https://scec.org/research/projects/CSEP/scec3.html) accepts predictions & evaluates them. Careful though: saying you did predict after the #earthquake happens means nothing😉

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Everything they are saying about Portland's situation is a a lie.

Listen for dangerous words.

Stephen Miller is on the weirdest power trip I've ever seen.

“No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.”

Draw a little encouragement from the fact that this is a Trump appointee saying that Trump's reasoning is "untethered from the facts."

RE: general strike in Italy

4. Children do not experience hunger.
5. Transparent processes and public/worker audits of institutions and corporations.

I don't ask for much, only for a political platform that includes the following 5 items:

1. Eliminate the profit imperative.
2. Establish policy focused on workers, not jobs.
3. United States signs onto International Criminal Court
