Read the case study detail.

A third term ? Not so fast

La Marcha de los Cuatro Suyos.

Perú
Dictador

nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/content/peru...

On July 27, 2000, La Marcha de los Quatro Suyos or the March of the Four Directions began. About 20,000 demonstrators, from the four corners of Peru and many of whom had to travel by bus for several days, peacefully marched down the streets of Peru's capital, Lima, to protest against Fujimori's illegal third term election. Peasants and city-dwellers alike shouted ";Abajo la dictadura!" ("Down with Dictatorship!") and paraded all day long. That evening, reportedly 100,000 demonstrators convened in the Paseo de la República, one of Lima's principal avenues. The leader of the opposition movement and the organizer of this campaign, Alejandro Toledo, had arrived in Lima two days prior to this demonstration. The organizer had anticipated that the gathering would be massive and without violence.

Decision makers are always getting it from all angles. Never a moment of peace, always finger pointing no matter what we do. What makes things better is knowing you did everything in your power to make good decisions.

We're seeing mother earth being destroyed in real time. Indigenous engineering and know how can't do it all but if we all emulate those ideas, we're better off.

Monday's sky.

Blue sky with clouds, reflected in a lake. The woods surrounding the lake are also reflected in the water.

I'm not opposed to later migrations coming from wherever they came from, joining w peoples who were already here which is what migration is. We move and connect and break apart. We are not a single river with creeks merging in. We are massive river systems branching and joining and branching again.

Cree Metis anthropologist Dr. Paulette Steeves writes that the evidence is often not found because it is not looked for, & she argues for Indigenous presence here on these lands going back a very long time.

We had our own neolithic revolutions. 2, possible 3 of them.

Finally had a clear night and got out the Seestar S50 - and proceeded to have every problem possible. Got this though. A tiny part of the North American Nebula. No processing other than in the app. #astrophotography

One year ago today we were being treated to a very nice comet in the shape of C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS), visible in the west just after sunset. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

Picture of comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) taken on 14 October 2024. The comet is yellow-orange in colour with a bright, extensive tail. A faint anti-tail can be seen in front of the head of the comet.

oh miigwech!

Becoming Kin was def written with a largely white audience in mind. For BIBC I followed Toni Morrison and wrote for Indigenous people. But I know that everybody will get something out of it. We survive together or not at all. 🔥✊
