Queer Polyglot/Language Learning Community

Do you speak or have resources in any of these languages? I'm building an online dictionary of queer-related words (anything regarding sexuality, romantic orientation, gender expression, intersex traits, etc).

The languages I still haven't manage to get much from are (in no particular order):

Hmong

Yagan

Aonikenk

Manchu

Jeju

Okinawan

Ainu

Kakán

Ossetian

Even if you don't speak any of these, but you speak a language few people know, I'd love for you to reach out.

“La muerte y el silencio” La podredumbre inundó la choza, Ayayema está aquí. No hay quién llore, ni me ayude en mi entierro en el reino del espíritu de la muerte. El dolor se hace más fuerte y me cuesta respirar, unas garras invisibles me cierran el cuello. Él está adelantando mi partida. Llévame, no quisimos ir a la casa de los blancos, vivimos como nuestra costumbre indicaba, y ahora soy el último de mi familia, me iré junto a ti, pero algún día no quedará ningún kawéskar, serás olvidado y te ahogarás en el pantano. El silencio y mi último suspiro fueron la réplica.

Patagonia

Caves in Última Esperanza show that humans, known as the Aonikenk people, have inhabited the region since 10,000 BC. In 1520 Ferdinand Magellan was the first European to visit the region. In the late 19th century, estancias formed, creating a regional wool boom that had massive, reverberating effects for both Chilean and Argentine Patagonia. Great wealth for a few came at the cost of native populations, who were all but wiped out by disease and warfare. With the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914, traffic reduced around Cabo de Hornos and the area’s international importance diminished. Today fisheries, silviculture, small oil reserves and methanol production, in addition to a fast-growing tourism industry, keep the region relatively prosperous.” Lonely Planet

After three centuries there are now only about 60 or 70 from each of the different Nomadic populations left. The ship we see cruising on can accommodate about that number of people. It brings the facts into sharp relief. There were several very distinct groups with their own languages. The Kaweskar were they only ones that shared language knowledge and dealt with other groups. In a number of the groups the women were the hunters and the ones that traded seal skins, shells and seafood with the people from Punto Arenas. There are records showing the women diving naked into the water to collect crustaceans. Man! that would take some courage.

The cruise has been an amazing experience. The ship carries a very small number of passengers and the staff very much treat the guests like family. The food has been amazing, like most cruises food is constantly offered, but here there are no generic buffets here. Lunch and dinner have all been set three course meals accompanied by a different range of wines at each sitting. Seafood has featured heavily. But the absolute highlight of the trip is the scenery and many excursions. Glaciar Perito Moreno is the stunning centerpiece of the southern sector of Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. It measures 30 miles long, 5 miles wide and 60 meters high. It the only glacier in the park that is not retreating. It is advancing at around 2 meters per day. Unfortunately, this is the only one advancing, all the others are retreating. Huge building sized blocks fall off into the water and create mini tsunamis. It is hard to believe that what you are seeing is real. Glaciers seem to appear around every corner and they shine absolutely blue in the sun. Several times a day we moor up close to a glacier and climb into zodiacs and onto the shore. We have been blessed with sunny weather and little wind. The plant life is incredible, with an incredible variety of shrubs, grasses and lichen. The ground looks like it has been landscaped by an elite team of Japanese gardeners. The first full day finished with one of the most spectacular experiences I have ever had. We all loaded into a small ice breaker and travelled into a small bay to see the Fernando, Captain Constantino and Alipio glaciers. The water was full of icebergs and the sound of them crashing into the side of the boat was a little scary at first, but once you braced for the collisions it was fairly exciting. The water was like a mirror and the mountains and clouds were reflected perfectly. The boat was large enough to hold about 80 of us, but small enough to get up close and personal with the glaciers. During one of these investigations we were privileged to see s truely iconic South American bird. We were close of the cliffs looking at (and smelling) colonies of cormorants (imperial shags) and rock shags, when the most enormous hunting bird I have ever seen cruised down onto the rocks. It was a condor. It sat on the rocks and methodically worked its way through the nests raiding the eggs. When it took off it’s wing span was around 3 meters, (they can grow up to 5 meters) a truely magnificent sight.

After travelling for about another half and hour the crew hauled in some chunks of iceberg and we enjoyed a few (too many) glasses of 12 year old scotch with 30,000 year old ice cubes. While the scotch was warming us from the inside we travelled over to moor a few feet from a large waterfall. The whole day was like a series of cascading events, each one more wonderful than the last. This would have to be one of the highlights of our lives. Some very special memories, such as lying warm and snug in soft white sheets with Len and watching glaciers glide past the picture windows; playing dominoes and drinking pisco sours with Alicia and Juan and we sail to another destination; chatting to the crew and other guests at meal times, and just having the time to contemplate the world go by.

[J Raspail, Qui se souvient des hommes...] Puis voilà que le temps change, mais pas la bonne humeur de Lafko. Un temps pourtant épouvantable, un déchainement d’hostilité d’une méchanceté si obstinée qu’il ne se rappelle pas en avoir jamais subi de semblable. D’abord la neige, puis le grésil qui est une grêle très fine qui pique comme des milliards d’aiguilles, enfin la pluie, glacée, pesante, interminable, jour et nuit. Un déluge. Les montagnes de la côte et des îles se sont mises à fondre au sein d’une grisaille qui en efface les contours. Les forêts ruissellent, les cascades descendent des nuages, les glaciers qui émergent des nuages paraissent suspendus dans le ciel. Les chenaux sont balayés par de blancs tourbillons qui s’arrachent à la surface de l’eau et se cabrent en s’élevant sans cesse. On dirait des geysers en marche. Tout cela s’accompagne d’un vacarme de fin du monde. Les vents s’engouffrent dans les chenaux à la rencontre l’un de l’autre et soufflent comme des tuyaux d’orgue qui éclatent. Les lames se ruent sur les rocher et la terre tremble sous leurs coups. De la forêt parviennent des milliers de détonations. Ce sont de hautes branches qui se rompent et de grands arbres qui s’abattent. Mais le plus impressionnant, ce que les Kaweskars appellent la voix d’Ayayema, c’est le lointain grondement d’outre-tombe que produit l’océan furieux qui dévaste de ses vagues formidables toute la côte qui lui fait face.Lafko ne craint plus cette voix. Il sourit. 

Les secrets de Don Enrique ne sont plus tout à fait des secrets. Ceux qui les partageaient avec lui, dans le donjon de Sagres, se sont dispersés à sa mort, emportant vers leurs ports d’origine des visions d’îles et de continents qu’ils se hâtent de replacer de mémoire sur des portulants fabuleux où l’on reconnait esquissé le tracé de côtes inconnues qui sont les côtes des deux Amériques, celles de l’Afrique et de son cap séparant deux océans, l’Inde, la Chine et le Japon, jusqu’aux lointaines Moluques mythiques déjà baptisées de ce nom avant même d’être découvertes. Ils sont les grands initiés de ce temps. Pour entrer dans leur confrérie et accéder à leurs secrets, il faut payer par d’autres secrets.  Vents dominants, courants de haute mer, terres incertaines entrevues dans la brume par des pêcheurs de baleines terrifiés, récits de capitaines égarés découvrant des bois flottés encore recouverts de feuilles vertes à des milieux de lieues d’un rivage identifié, légendes celtiques ou norvégiennes, sagas de navigateurs déterrées dans les bibliothèques de monastères septentrionaux, journaux de bords volés, propos de marins que l’on fait boire dans les tripots de Lisbonne, de Saint-Malo, d’Anvers, et qu’on retrouve ensuite dans le ruisseau, un poignard planté dans le dos, muets à jamais, telles sont les monnaies d’échange pour acquérir les clefs d’un monde que se partagent les initiés.

Nadabrahma

Siento el sonido cósmico, Nadabrahma

y los tambores tras el cuarto de hora, provienen del rito cósmico de Kaweskar , aonikenk.

Siento sus voces en el egreso y regreso de las estrellas

el polvo que observo fue el que observaron tatuados en sus cuerpos

Conecto con la razón universal

Los hemisferios se confunden y observo a Marcopolo en el reflejo de una estrella septentrional 

Nadabrahma  y Buda está en el centro.

http://bit.ly/2VkEnLx Nacional Torres del Paine: la octava maravilla del mundo | Ciencia

La palabra paraíso cobra en el Parque Nacional Torres del Paine todo su significado: 227.298 hectáreas y una geografía excepcional compuesta por imponentes macizos, bosques vírgenes y lagos de color turquesa. Todo ello con un cielo que adquiere unos colores irreales que invita a descubrir el porqué de los incontables reconocimientos que tiene como uno de los parajes más hermosos del planeta. 

Situado a 154 kilómetros al noroeste de Puerto Natales y a 399 kilómetros de Punta Arenas, este santuario de la naturaleza ubicado cerca de los Andes en el extremo sur de Chile fue fundado bajo el nombre de Parque Nacional de Turismo Lago Grey el 13 de mayo de 1959, cuando la actividad principal de la zona todavía era la ganadería y el turismo estaba relegado a unos pocos aventureros. 

El 30 de abril de 1970 el parque sumó 11.000 nuevas hectáreas a su terreno protegido y pasó a ser bautizado como se le conoce hoy: Parque Nacional de Torres del Paine. Desde entonces no ha dejado de sumar reconocimientos y turistas que quieren conocerlo. En él se puede encontrar una geografía imponente compuesta por macizos, lagos, icebergs, glaciares, ríos, bosques de robles típicos de Tierra del Fuego y extensas pampas visitadas por guanacos, ñandúes y pumas. 

Un entorno privilegiado al que uno de los primeros visitantes definió como “uno de los más espectaculares paisajes que la imaginación humana puede concebir” y que abre sus puertas a miles de turistas cada año que buscan experiencias en medio de la naturaleza y con todo tipo de comodidades: senderos señalizados, actividades de senderismo y aventura, así como alternativas de alojamiento y restauración. 

El nombre de Torres proviene de sus dos características elevaciones, también llamadas Cuernos del Paine, que son restos erosionados de una región elevada, creada por plutones de granito que levantan capas sedimentarias superpuestas de las cuales la más baja es una pizarra de color rojo oscuro. Los materiales superpuestos se han erosionado por completo, dejando solo varias torres graníticas redondas y altas: éstas son las torres reales del parque. Algunos de los materiales originales permanecen y, como estos tienen diferentes pendientes y colores, forman las puntas tan características y reconocibles como imagen del parque. 

Según los estudios realizados en la zona, los utensilios paleoindios encontrados en los alrededores del parque indican que fue habitado hace alrededor de 12.000 años por el antiguo pueblo aonikenk. Los indios tehuelches, descendientes de los paleoindios, dieron después el nombre de Paine al macizo, que significa “azul” en su idioma. Desde el siglo XV el área también ha sido el hogar de las personas nómadas kaweskar que conviven con pumas salvajes, cóndores y guanacos. 

Por desgracia, en las últimas décadas la acción del hombre también se ha hecho notar en el parque y éste se ha debido enfrentar diversos incendios forestales que han consumido vastas extensiones de vegetación. 

El 10 de febrero de 1985, un turista dejó una colilla mal apagada, lo que desató un incendio que consumió cerca de 14.000 hectáreas del parque. Veinte años después, otro visitante volcó una cocinilla y originó otro incendio que abrasó una superficie de más de 15.000 hectáreas, de las cuales más de 11.000 afectaron directamente al parque. A finales de 2011, el Parque Nacional Torres del Paine sufrió un nuevo incendio forestal que consumió más de 17.000 hectáreas, esta vez debido a una fogata que realizó otro visitante, y que requirió ayuda internacional para sofocarlo. 

El Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, Declarado Reserva de la Biosfera por la Unesco y elegido la octava maravilla del mundo en 2013 por Virtual Tourist en un concurso en el que recibió más de cinco millones de votos, se ha consolidado como un atractivo turístico a nivel mundial y también como en un ejemplo también de conservación de la naturaleza.

Las entendiste todas? Te cuento que son palabras de dialectos de los pueblos originarios (mapuzungun, kaweskar, quechua, aymara, etc.) el grito de "el que no salta es mapuche" no es solo una muestra de discriminacion y racismo hacia un pueblo originario, si no, es una muestra de la ignorancia sobre nuestras raices, una muestra de la aporofobia que reina en nuestra sociedad, donde no importa si eres migrante o si eres nacido en esta angosta faja de tierra, solo importa si eres pobre economicamente, da lo mismo si eres honesto, solo importa lo que tienes en la billetera.

Ese grito de "el que no salta es mapuche" es una muestra de la discriminacion que existe em nuestro pais, ese grito lo que realmente esconde tras de si es "el que no salta es pobre, negro, nana, barrendero, recolector de basura, jardinero, etc."

Profundizar sobre estos conceptos con nuestros hijos, para que no crezcan segados por normalizar actos de racismo y prejuicio con la verdadera identidad de nuestros pueblos, en nosotros esta esa tarea y terminar con la segmentacion de nuestros pueblos originarios, la verdad siempre sale a la luz y, lusinger no es mas que un catrileo, personas muertas por mapuches en los ultimos 20 años

History Of Geodesic Dome

The first dome that could be called “geodesic” was designed after World War I by Walter Bauersfeld. The geodesic dome is extremely strong for its weight, its “omnitriangulated” surface provided an inherently stable structure, and because a sphere encloses the greatest volume for the least surface area. 

In 2000, the worlds first fully sustainable geodesic dome hotel, EcoCamp Patagonia was built in Chilean Patagonia. The hotels dome design is key to resisting the regions strong winds and is based on the dwellings of the indigenous Kaweskar people.
