“Microtonal wavering of the Blues can be understood as a continuation of vocal techniques that were gradually brought to the west-central Sudan after the Arabic conquest of North Africa.”
Parícutin is one of the most extraordinary volcanic events ever recorded.
In 1943, in a cornfield in Mexico, a farmer noticed the ground cracking open. Within days, ash, gas and volcanic debris began bursting from the earth, and a brand-new volcano started forming in real time.
Over the next nine years, Parícutin grew from nothing into a 400+ metre cinder cone, burying nearby towns under thick lava and ash.
The old village of San Juan Parangaricutiro was completely overwhelmed, leaving only the church tower still standing above the frozen lava field.
It’s one of the best-documented volcanoes in history, with scientists observing its entire life cycle from formation to inactivity.
Today, a MASSIVE eruption occurred at the Sakurajima volcano in Japan.
Just more confirmation of Hanke's Schoolboy Theory of History: It's just one damn thing after another.
A large-scale fire has destroyed more than 20 buses at a garage belonging to the Anchieta company in the Dom Cabral neighbourhood of Belo Horizonte in Brazil.
I love when losers realize online bots aren’t real people and they just look like losers.
Look at how he’s scaring the women then trying to laugh it off by insulting another woman.
Loser spreading hate
Large eruption from Japan’s Sakurajima volcano today, leaving parts of Kagoshima City blanketed in ash.
While it looks dramatic, this isn’t unusual for Sakurajima. It’s one of Japan’s most active volcanoes, and local residents are well accustomed to dealing with regular ashfall.
I wouldn't want to be dusting today!
I would just say Oprah Winfrey did have some Zambia tribe match on AfricanAncestry and a doppelgänger of Kevin Hart went viral from Zambia. maybe some came thru that small southeast Africa trade to Chesapeake Bay and colonial LA
How far deep into southwest Africa did the slave raids and trafficking pull TAST captives from? I suspect parts of present day Namibia 🇳🇦 and Zambia 🇿🇲. Mozambique 🇲🇿 and Madagascar 🇲🇬 to the southeast was also impacted. On my 23&me report, I matched with Nguni/Shona markers.
@abasimalungu no coincidence;
I can’t tell if I notice as much general resemblance with the Akans yet altho they were the 4th or 5th largest group here; I just notice they can overlap with western Bantus and even Senegambians
Hard truth…
I can speak freely because I’m 65 years old and my pocketful of fucks is seriously depleted.
Working as a paralegal at various studios in LA for thirty years…I had the opportunity to observe studio executives closely.
They’re generally a slippery and clueless bunch who shouldn’t be allowed near anything remotely creative…but the new regime at Paramount is straight up evil.
I assure you.
These soulless bastards have nothing but contempt for a show about grace and redemption and the struggle against fascism.
ATLA is a mystery to them.
They. Do. Not. Value. The. Franchise.
to me they seem closest to certain Geneu phenotype classifications:
-Central Bantuid
-West Congolesid
-Guineo-Camerunian
-maybe Guinesid

@abasimalungu it’s a phenotype range I initially thought came from certain Akan groups. some overlap between them and the western Bantus but the very consistent matches actually come from the Bakongo to me. the eye shape & lips immediately gives it off
Mbundu and Chokwe ancestry from Angola aside: the Bakongo subgroups represented in BA ancestry “might” be more of the Sundi and Vili;
non-Bakongo groups present likely include Mbochi and Teke; just my speculation based on regional proximity #congoriverbasin#angola#loango
the “Angola” label for West-Central slave imports to SC/GA was broad, the Bakongo had diff subgroups from north of modern Angola country sold from Cabinda region & Loango #bakongo#angola#georgia#congobasin
the general lower Congo River Basin and trade networks deeper into Angola could supply slaves from the interior; some BAs have gotten Chokwe, Luba and Teke on their ancestry tests #angola#congoriverbasin
