They found the body of Camilo Torres today :) But again nobody told me 😭
A solid at least 40% of the current fascist movement was the result of passive indoctrination of suburban and urban whites globally via video games like Call of Duty concurrent to the 2000-2010s defunding of the humanities in public education to center STEM.
I got asked to be in meetings this semester to negotiate plans for buying a new MRI machine for the medical school / university hospital to rep one of the investigation departments that would contribute to the bill / be using it
Where Saint Augustine preached! Where Saint Augustine walked! Where Saint Augustine baptized infants and people generally! Also where Saint Augustine walked presumably a tomb but I cannot read it! (Ruins of Hippo in Annabas, Algeria)
relatedly we got confirmation that the Amani celebrate the Eve of Fire which I am choosing to headcanon as the night before the Summer Solctice
Reposted with permission but yeah I do not think Blizzard is introducing Harranir into the game well. I think the way they are written overlaps with Troll, Night Elf, and Tauren lore in a way that undermines those races.
