skingrit interior monologue:
I hope no one goes back into my tagged/me and brings up these photos that I took, alone, at home by myself, on purpose.
“Folks, there’s nothing left from the Linguistics division. We lost all the indigenous languages collection: the recordings since 1958, the chants in all the languages for which there are no native speakers alive anymore, the Curt Niemuendaju archives: papers, photos, negatives, the original ethnic-historic-linguistic map localizing all the ethnic groups in Brazil, the only record that we had from 1945. The ethnological and archeological references of all ethnic groups in Brazil since the 16th century… An irreparable loss of our historic memory. It just hurts so much to see all in ashes.”
On this day, 4 September 2005, in the wake of hurricane Katrina the Danziger Bridge shootings took place, when several New Orleans police officers opened fire with assault weapons on an unarmed African-American family. The Bartholomews were on their way to a grocery store when plainclothed police with machine guns shot six of them, killing two and then stomping on one of the victims. Some of the victims were shot up to 7 times and lost limbs. One man was shot five times in the back and a teenage girl was shot four times. The police then fabricated a story claiming they had been fired on by four suspects, an officer had been shot and had to return fire. They even arrested one of the survivors and charged him with eight counts of attempting to kill police. The officer in charge of investigating the shootings helped fabricate evidence to support the shooters’ lies. 11 years later, the killers were convicted of relatively minor offences like obstruction of justice.
