The Kids of Turtle Island

@CosmicEggEarth @archaeologyart Ayob nazir Ezekiel vid is about Ezekiel seeing Aurora in the west.

@archaeologyart It's Aurora. As in - the Northern Lights. But on the equator. x.com/CosmicEggEarth…

In a Latin manuscript from around 1420, on the page of a book about alchemy, stands a black-skinned, green-winged angel. The angel's abdomen is cut open, with a serpent and a dagger inside. The manuscript is titled Aurora Consurgens, meaning 'Rising Dawn'. For a long time, it was attributed to Thomas Aquinas, but today, scholars agree that the text belongs to an anonymous 14th- or 15th-century author known as Pseudo-Aquinas. The copy I'm sharing is housed in the Zurich Central Library under the shelfmark Ms. Rh. 172. Among the ten known Aurora Consurgens manuscripts, it's the oldest surviving illuminated copy. The 100-folio parchment measures just 20.4 × 13.9 cm. The angel simultaneously embodies the three classical stages of alchemy: blackening (nigredo), whitening (albedo), and reddening (rubedo). The transformation starts with the black skin, continues through the white garment, and culminates in the red background and the golden-rayed mandorla. I think the text's original logic is essentially this: a genuine whitening is only real if it has first passed through blackness. That's why the angel's skin is still black even at the end of the transformation. The whiteness doesn't erase the blackness; instead, it's layered on top of it. As for the serpent and dagger duo in its abdomen, the motif is directly related to Hermes' caduceus, the staff with two snakes: it illustrates the reconciliation of two opposing natures - mercury and sulfur - embracing and uniting within a single body. The dagger, meanwhile, represents the alchemical operation known as dissolutio, the conscious fragmentation of matter. I interpreted the dark sphere beneath its feet as the sky/heaven above the Earth (though alternative interpretations also mention it as the moon). The fully transformed soul stands in perfect balance above the material-celestial order. I'm adding the link to the book and the illustration; it's really beautiful if you want to check it out: archive.org/details/Aurora…

Take the 🍉 out of your profile if you’re endorsing a Dem in the CA Governor’s race. You can’t oppose genocide and support the genociders. Also. Dems are saying we have to ‘vote strategically’ for a billionaire who bought 50M of airtime, or an empty suit who has corporations do it for him. Because these are the ‘viable’ candidates. Pure media brainwashing. Before the Dems illegally removed me from the Ballot I was polling ahead of Becerra in every poll and within 5 points or Steyer. I destroyed them both in debates that union leaders and media will not let you see. You endorse their corruption with your support. And it’s not strategic. Weak, unpopular, corrupt Dem candidates is why Repubs win, not third party voters. If you want the Repubs out of the race, and you think you can ‘push the Dems left’ the best way to achieve that goal - in CA and nationally - right now. Is to write Butch Ware on your ballot.

@NetworkDirecto1 @Afrikaa_Elite melanated ppl fought in the own region for the confedrates.Why wouldn't it be a thing?

@Afrikaa_Elite There's not really FBA people that wave Confederate flags are there? That's can't be a real thing 😭

Native American people have sovereignty on their homelands and don’t identify with the United States FBA Pretendians contradict everything they claim to stand for when they wave USA 🇺🇸 and Confederate Flags

@Afrikaa_Elite Chitimacha tribe enters chat.They are federally recognized.Here is a melanated algonquin indio on the cover of schoolastic mag. You have to come up with better lies!share.google/k2opSwt26jFQFT…

Bonkers story: Israel built a base inside Iraq just before the war with Iran. When Iraqi troops investigated, Israel launched air strikes against them. All with US knowledge. wsj.com/world/middle-e…

@PurpStickyRice @ButchWare bot

@ButchWare You're pathetic dude, you're going to play spoiler to get a centrist elected

I need panicked liberals to develop basic pattern recognition skills. Tom Steyer is Gates, Bloomberg, Bezos, Zuck, and Musk. Y’all told yourself in each one of these instances that he was one of the good ones and then you act shocked when they go full Bond villain. Steyer is evil. Refusing to call Gaza a genocide is evil. Opposing BDS is evil. Supporting AB 715 is evil. Making money from private prisons and giving none of it back is evil. Billionaires are evil. There are no ‘good ones’ that will protect us from the ‘bad ones.’

@BobLMandeb @_rathbone @ButchWare 😧He had Angeleica Ross on .And she's returning to work with him in ATL

@_rathbone @ButchWare I really don’t like transphobes. Like, I hate how he got screwed off the ballot but he wouldn’t get my vote regardless.

Democrats are scared of @ButchWare on the debate stage, aren’t they…

@HarpMV3 @MikeNellis Liberals havegotten attacked. And I know you know about satire and the graphic novel being satire of the bush regime

@danielprescott1 @Dr_TheHistories youtube.com/playlist?list=… one episode may have spoken about some pacific ppl being melanated Caucasians

@Dr_TheHistories Wild to me that these super isolated pockets of humanity that developed completely independently are still all the human species, perfectly capable of interbreeding. You would think they would be completely different lines like Denosovan or Neanderthal or Bigfoots.

A Highland New Guinean reacts in pure shock after seeing a white person for the very first time. Until the 1930s, many Highland communities lived so deep in the mountains that they genuinely believed they were the only humans on Earth. When Australian explorers finally reached the region, both sides were stunned. The Highlanders saw pale‑skinned strangers with strange clothes and tools they’d never imagined. And the explorers discovered more than a million people living in valleys they assumed were empty. The Highlands of Papua New Guinea remained one of the most isolated human regions on Earth well into 20th Century. Because the terrain is mountainous, densely forested, and extremely difficult to cross, outside contact simply never reached these inland communities. While coastal groups had interacted with Europeans since the 1500s, the Highlanders lived in complete cultural and geographic separation. They developed their own agriculture, social systems, and belief structures, with no knowledge that other civilizations existed beyond their valleys. When Australian explorers unexpectedly entered the Highlands in the early 1930s, they encountered more than a million people who had lived uninterrupted for thousands of years. For the Highlanders, the arrival of pale‑skinned strangers was a world‑shattering moment. Many believed their own tribe represented the entirety of humanity, and outsiders were often interpreted as spirits or supernatural beings. The photograph captures that raw, unfiltered shock, a man reacting to a reality he never imagined possible. For the explorers, it was equally astonishing to find thriving societies in a region they assumed was empty. This encounter remains one of the most dramatic examples of first contact in modern history, showing how two human worlds can evolve side by side yet remain completely unaware of each other until a single moment changes everything. #drthehistories
