An interesting look at a Maya book that predates the Conquistador reign in the Americas, the ā€œCĆ³dice Maya de MĆ©xicoā€:

\n
\n

Only four known Maya books have survived both Spanish colonial destruction and the passage of time. Created in the 11th or 12th century, the CĆ³dice Maya de MĆ©xico (the Maya Codex of Mexico) is the oldest of these works and the only one to predate the arrival of the conquistadors in the 16th centuryā€¦Here, myth and astronomical knowledge converge, offering a glimpse into a complex worldview rich with insights into how ritual and the cosmos shaped life in Maya society.

Tawny Lara on Embracing the Sh*tty First Draft:

Letting yourself be bad at something is a radical act in a world that demands a polished, filtered, curated version of you. Creating terrible art because we trust that it might become good art is the whole point. If we donā€™t enjoy the artistic process, do we actually enjoy being artists?

How Native Nations Shaped the Revolution:

\n
\n

The Revolution was not, however, a contest between the order of the state (reason) and the perceived disorder of nature (savagery). It was a contest between competing visions of governance and law, and between colonial sovereignty and the sovereign traditions of Native nations.

@todd Thanks Todd. Iā€™m mostly teasing, knowing full well the type of society we live in that commands such a thing as this for daily life, but I still find it amusing when those in sacred or secular realms prop up countercultural views like this while still ā€œplaying the game,ā€ so to speak.

I like this definition of charity that preserves relationship amid diverse beliefs:

Charity literally means love; to be charitable, therefore, is not to move to the middle, to become a mushy moderate or ā€œsquish.ā€ Itā€™s to treat your neighbor with respect, whatever you think of her beliefs.

Here, the NIN score is the only thing that keeps the movie going. Lending the bandā€™s name to film feels like an act of generosity; you can charitably treat this as a series of whiz-bang sci-fi visuals made to accompany a pretty good Nine Inch Nails album.
