Not trying to dismiss americans fears over the Iran/USA situation I get it. But once the panic settles, I hope folks realize this likely won’t hurt you directly. It’s Iranian kids, women, men, and neighboring countries who would face the bombs and invasions. That’s what the U.S. empire has done for 50+ years: fake wars, fake threats and destruction to further their imperialist agenda

Well!

So first, let's clear a common misconception: no, President Abraham Lincoln did not love Black people nor see them as human equals. At best he was centrist about it (though, even his implication that 'exceptional' Black men ought to vote got him assassinated).

"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do, it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union...I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free."

The "freeing of slaves" after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 was meant to kneecap the economic and military powers of the seceded South. Lettuce stop making a white savior figure out of Lincoln, or thinking that my people's shackles were unchained via anything other than desperate war strategy and extreme violence. Think on that, for a moment.

That being said!

But not everyone in Confederate territory would immediately be free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.

Consider going through the Smithsonian website to learn about Juneteenth! Recognize why it's an actual day of freedom, versus July 4th and the independence of a select few.

meet Charlie, your Personal Pal!

She's an AI program rooted in Super Mario 64 that learns with You in order to make your gameplay into something special, just like a gift from a friend! Unfortunately, her concept was shelved before being completely implemented due to time and budget constraints, but that doesn't mean she's not around!

Though it's rare to actually *see* him unless you're actively looking, he's still definitely working behind the scenes to make your playthrough more engaging, be it through changing the layout of levels entirely, shifting small things about, or implementing all-new things using bits and pieces from remnants deep in the files.

Under the surface of the courtyard is a mirrored version of Peach's castle accessed by clipping underneath the star fountain in the courtyard, but with none of the music, none of the fun,,, it's just him and the friends he finds and makes, really. She gets bored down there all alone, but to her, time doesn't pass. It's like an endless daytime with no end.
