Donate to victims of Brazil floods from abroad

Brazil’s southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul, a state the size of Ecuador, has been devastated by historic floods, with most of its 497 municipalities in a state of public calamity. Authorities have described the crisis as “war-like” and consider it the state’s worst crisis caused by natural disasters ever.

Roughly 200,000 people were forced out of their homes, according to state officials. The death toll, which has been growing fast, is inching closer to the mark of 100 — and there are still more than 130 people missing.

A series of public and private initiatives are collecting donations in order to mitigate the devastating effects of the crisis. Post offices in the states of São Paulo and Paraná, as well as some in Rio Grande do Sul, for example, offered to collect and transport donations free of charge.

Can we have some love thrown at Cyanocorax caeruleus? This bird species is the symbol of my home state in Brazil because of it's importance in propagating the local pine tree. I find their blue and black colors very beautiful!

Azure Jay aka Gralha Azul (Cyanocorax caeruleus), family Corvidae, order Passeriformes, found in the Atlantic Coastal Forests of Brazil

This bird is closely associated with the endangered Paraná Pine, acting as a major seed disperser for this tree.

*: During the great European Immigration to the Americas (19th century - 20th century), immigrants from different European countries settled in different parts of Brazil. Southern states, such as Rio Grande do Sul, due to their colder climates, were favored by immigrants from Northern European countries, such as Germany, Poland, Austria and Ukraine, where blonde hair and blue eyes is a common phenotype. Therefore, blonde hair and blue eyes are seen more often in people from Rio Grande do Sul and other southern states than in the rest of Brazil. This makes my joke funny and you should either laugh at it or praise me for my quick wit and good looks.

Incredibly amused by this one upcoming anime that has a foreign girl as one of its main characters and she looks like your average token anime foreigner (white, blond haired, blue eyed, you know the drill), except she’s Brazilian. First time I ever see a blue-eyed blonde Brazilian character in literally any piece of non-Brazilian made media. If my grandpa was still alive I’d give him a call to congratulate him on the representation win.

Do you think the tupi-guarani speaking peoples of coastal Brasil and the area around Paraguai would've ever developed "civilization" (sedentary society with large permanent cities and extensive agriculture) with mandioca and other american cropss if they'd been given enough time?

It's actually a question I would love exploring in depth. I think the answer is yes; after all, tropical civilizations do exist from the Maya to Southeast Asia to the Kongo and the Terra Petra cultures (Jared Diamond me la puede sobar). Manioc is also an excellent staple crop, which is in fact one of the main crops in tropical America, Africa and Asia. And we know that the population of the Americas was much, much higher before disease and genocide (see 1491).

In fact, it's often underestimated how much higher it was. There's still this image of hunter-gatherers all over the continent when in fact, agricultural villages was the norm. People who I have worked with for example have found evidence for large villages and agrarian settlements in the shores of the Argentine Paraná (I will try to find the sources later). And I think the sambaqui of the Brazilian coast are very well known.

The question here is why didn't the Tupí-Guaraní (and other peoples in the area) did not coalesce in a civilization, which is a hard term to define but I'll call it "state building" like in the Andes and Mesoamerica. And honestly, that's one question that could take an entire doctoral thesis to answer. Perhaps it's worth asking what were the forces, or lack of them, that did not result in the creation of states or large cities.

Another interesting thing to me is that the Pampas and the whole Rio de La Plata basin, with perhaps the most fertile soil in the world, did not have intensive agriculture until recent times. This is not unusual though, rich grasslands such as the North American Great Plains and the Ukranian Black Soil become are also rich in large animals to hunt and so many people there adopt generally hunter or herding lifestyles (that was the case even recently with gauchos and native nomads before the enclosure with alambrado, don't know the English word). But if does make you wonder; what if a native civilization, as in a urbanized culture with states, had risen in the Rio de La Plata or the Paraná?

In any case it would be very fun in a alternate history to imagine the Europeans finding a Tupí empire on the shores of Brazil or a Guaraní empire up the Paraná.

Thanks, bro B)

I will now share the different reasons I like to think to why they are in Japan:

Yabusames - Obviously was the song industry, probably a contract with some producer made them move (And I like to think that since Reko was a rebellious little shit (affectionately), she purposely refused to learn Japanese until Alice convinced her)

Kurumada - He was born in Japan, but his parents are brazilian, so he regularly visit Brazil (He's very fond of his Brazil but it's not willing to move out of Japan, he regularly lets a brazilian slang slip so people get to know where he's from and that he's proud of it)

Hinako - She was born in Brazil, but only stayed there when she was a little kid, moving to Japan with her parents and now just lives there (I have a headcannon that she's the type of person who would just lie about what she's saying, she'd 100% just swear at people in Portuguese and then say "Oh no, I said you're beautiful, don't worry…", just spreading misinformation)

Hi, I'm here to cook with my brazilian headcannons, and I will not explain why I think these character are brazilian (Theoretically, they would be half brazilian and half asian, so...)

Just trust me on these ones, I know what I'm talking about 😎 /hj (I'm brazilian)

Avá-Guarani Indigenous people are a target of violent attacks in southern Brazil

In a new attack, big farmers kill the communities' domestic animals and spray pesticides around the houses

The Avá-Guarani community, located in the Tekoha Guasu Guavira Indigenous Land in Guaíra, in the state of Paraná, was the target of yet another violent attack by big farmers on Thursday morning (17). The conflict left two Indigenous people injured, one after being run over by a truck and the other beaten with sticks by men identified as employees of a rural property in the region.   

Based on reports from residents of the community, a truck and four tractors loaded with poison advanced on the Yvyju Avary community, inside the Indigenous Land, at around 10 am, allegedly at the behest of a big farmer who is demanding the expulsion of the Indigenous people from the area. The National Public Security Force was called in to intervene, and the victims were taken to a hospital. “The big farmers have a truck full of non-Indigenous people making attacks. They've run over people and also killed the community's dogs,” said Indigenous leader Nazany Martins.   

According to the Guarani Yvyrupa Commission (CGY, in Portuguese), the Avá-Guarani community live in constant tension due to big farmers' attacks against Indigenous territories that are being regularized. One big farmer in the region agreed to negotiate the sale of his land for the demarcation of the Indigenous Lands, while another chose to resist violently, escalating the conflicts.   

This attack is part of a series of aggressions that have been taking place in recent months. Last Sunday (13), the Y'hovy village, also in Guaíra, was shot at from a neighboring big farm after a suspicious car drove around the area filming Indigenous leaders. Although no one was injured in the incident, the atmosphere of insecurity persists.
