you can literally trace the present day wealth distribution in angola back to when it was the centre of the transatlantic slave trade & it's capital of luanda was the biggest port out of which african captives were shipped overseas to the americas in throughout the 1800s. the luso-african (descendants of mixed portuguese and african relationships) people who ran merchant companies profiting off chattel slavery didn't suddenly stop running businesses or had their wealth appropriated when the slave trade was outlawed, they simply reinvested in alternative "legitimate" commerce that was also gained thru the exploitation of black africans' labour and continued to accrue wealth & the present day bourgeois class of angola is made up of their descendants, the wealth they have today can still be traced back to the money made by forcing black africans into chattel slavery in the americas. if you think the exact same thing didn't happen in the USA and across the americas where african chattel slavery was practiced you are sorely mistaken

Okay, a few people have wished me a happy womens day today and like. I appreciate the sentiment, I do, but I'm not a woman. Yes, im afab, and the patriarchy does affect me, so i share lots of struggles with women. I am, however, not a woman. Please dont wish me a happy womens day just cause im not a man either. That being said, I hope every girl and every woman out there has a wonderful women's day. <3<3<3

"Nuria Fernandez-Silleras's remarkable book tells the tragic stories of queens in mourning within the culture of the Portuguese and Castilian courts. Through spellbinding vignettes and case studies we witness the consequences of excessive love, the performance of grief, and the construction of madness within the world of Iberian politics. The Politics of Emotion is a tour de force."
