Today was my exam, and... it went surprisingly good. You know. For someone who was... not distracted at all during study-time.

But this wasn't a final-final because, simplifying, when you don't take one of the partial exams, you have to recover it as a final at the end of the semester. That's what I did. The "final for real" comes in two weeks.

I love you all, I will be... hiatusing. But you know how that goes.

(I swear I will answer comments later when I have more energy.)

Hace algunos días atrás estaba haciendo zapping esperando cierto partido que prefiero no recordar y me topé con este magnífico documental, uno de los mejores que he visto de Latinoamérica, en un canal paraguayo llamado Arandu Rape.

Se llama "Pueblos Originarios" y es un una serie Argentina del canal Encuentro que trata sobre el borrado, la invisibilidad, que viven los pueblos indígenas, y también mucho de historia. Centrado en Argentina, pero se aplica a toda Latinomérica.

Es excelente, habla de la historia borrada (la resistencia en América luego de la llegada de los Españoles que nunca fueron contadas, por ejemplo, yo nunca había escuchado lo de la rebelión Diaguita), de hecho usa la palabra "invisibilidad." Algo que me impresionó mucho es como dice abiertamente que la identidad del criolla Argentina es un producto de la violación de mujeres indígenas. Habla sobre La hipótesis del Blanqueamiento que forjó lo que se considera "Argentino," la opresión económica y política, la colonización de mentes y cuerpos. Otra vez, es excelente.

Este es el primer episodio:

Why? Why can't fandom be a place where white people can be freely racist and POC can act like caring and patient educators for them?

We have to start learning that the single objective of showing our anger over, I don't know, trivializing the death of thousand real black people by using them as kink-material for white writers, has always been Making White People Learn! After all, their education is always above our dehumanization, our anger, and or feelings.

If they don't feel comfortable because we are upset at their racism, well, we have to stop acting so savagely. They won't care- well, they never cared int he first place, but we? We have to care about making them care. Otherwise, there is no point.

Them not paying attention to our feelings and not regarding us as human being is a secondary matter. Our priority always always has to be to not make them scared of voicing their, I'm sure, enlightening opinions.

Except no. And fuck you kindly. As you see, what you ask is not a two-way road. Respect people and then you may be entitled to their respect; dehumanize people... and well, they may call you out, you know. That thing you fear so much is not even comparable to, you know, the offense which is part again of our constant dehumanization. (Well, maybe it is comparable if you take into account that POC are not people.)

ETA: This is public, people, and I really don't care what you think about it. (Unless I screw up in something involves my privilege. Real privilege. That power thing you may not like to look at.) But this is still my place, and I will ban you if you annoy me with "reverse ism" shit. Yes, as you may have noticed by this post, I don't feel like educating random strangers.
