In reality, the Nahua peoples who spoke of "Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl" didn't use that name for what's now the Gulf of Mexico. Instead, that name means "the Fresh Water of Chalchiuhtlicue," and it refers to her mansion in the midst of the cosmic sea, to the east the sea-ringed world.
I'll explain.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Additional scripts for cis het white men who want to be better allies:
“What a weird thing to say”
“Do you hear yourself right now?”
“You shouldn’t say shit like that to people”
“I won’t let you talk to them that way”
“That’s a disgusting opinion to have”
“Shut the fuck up, dude”

Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man
The responsibility for resisting and correcting this behavior shouldn’t fall solely on a specific gender. If you’re a man of conscience and you see another man mimicking Nick Fuentes, fuck him up on sight before the women even get a chance. I mean that.

When Trump paused federal funding to all grants and loans, it plunged scientific research into chaos. Though the freeze was rescinded for some sectors, it's still in largely place for universities and research institutions. The damage will be lasting.
The Damage to Federal Medical Research Is Already Done
Clinical trials may have to be scrapped, research applications will be pushed back, and unpaid researchers will quickly leave the sector—even if the Trump administration’s funding pause is only…

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

Per an NIH source:
“Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”
