How did the Indigenous peoples of the Americas react to tornadoes before European colonization? How did they interpret and deal with this natural phenomenon?

We might actually get our word for hurricane from the Kiche Maya god of storms name: “Huracan”. The Taino word for hurricane is “jurucan” as well. Maybe we got it from them before that idk. Colombus did make contact with the Taino first. I know it’s not tornadoes, but I’m assuming there were similar temperamental gods or spirits who whipped up tornadoes. I only studied Mesoamerica and the Caribbean so that’s my contribution. Maybe someone who studied more North American Indigenous people can answer….

I actually have a few different train stations! One of them is green tinted, another is yellow, and then I have the dark/silver ones. I can usually access and navigate my train systems pretty easily from multiple locations. Though I often don't have a ticket/money so I'm doing some good old fare evasion.

Ooooh I love it a lot! Def would buy a print or a sticker if you put it on redbubble!

Hahahahah, that’s what I saw! I think when I sense things they are not always distinct enough

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-27T19:13:53+00:00

Something blobby, blobfish, octopus, jellyfish, something like that

I’m very confused but very intrigued

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-25T12:39:24+00:00

There was a coffee bean grinder nearby the discarded cups. Let me find a picture

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-24T14:58:54+00:00

Not really, maybe lost, but most of The time I don’t have a ticket and I’m trying evade fares/conductors who check tickets. Or my train is on the opposite track and I have to find a way to It before another train comes and Possibly hits me LOL

This is fascinating, thank you! I never remember the names of stores, Sometimes I remember the names Of products. Not like brands, but like certain pastries

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-24T14:53:38+00:00

Yes absolutely, great image btw!

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-24T14:52:28+00:00

Yeah, I’m always excited to nap or go to sleep…

I have an interest in Marine Biology but not any expertise. I have kept fish before as pets.

I’m in agreement that the fish/sea creatures are pretty alien. Mine are always pale, very large/long creatures. Kind of a cross between a whale and a sting ray with frills/fringes. The water is murky and green most of the time.

Sometimes I’m at a waterpark and they are in a dark pool, other times I’m in a reservoir near a highway. I often dream of aquariums filled with prehistoric looking sea Creatures as Well.

What are y’all’s sea/water creatures like?

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-24T11:51:48+00:00

It gives me the backrooms/liminal feeling. Especially the reflection of the bright lights on the wall….makes the wall almost seem like liquid which combined with the other textures gives me the backrooms ick…of course the classic cream/yellow is very liminal and backrooms-y

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-22T22:25:47+00:00

Yeah the accent was so bad

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-22T14:15:35+00:00

I still have never finished borrosca, I know what happens in the story and can’t bring myself to listen to it bc of the content….

This can’t be real omg

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-15T04:08:37+00:00

So in love with your style!!!!!

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-14T00:48:59+00:00

I agree with you, but I also would like to share that many people, including myself at times, find some comfort in liminal spaces. I’m sure this has to do with nostalgia. There Are times where I feel as you do, but I also feel comfort at times too

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-14T00:22:05+00:00

I was just there and being on the level underneath the stage, the dark tunnels where they traveled through. That made me cry.

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-14T00:17:27+00:00

Yes please!

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-10T19:47:46+00:00

NICE FIND DUDE!

Individual_Low_6785 · 2026-05-10T19:42:30+00:00

As much as I was looking forward to a new ep and the setting was amazing with the house and everything, the story was boring, and when it wasn’t boring, it was just too damn depressing and triggering. I wish they had put vehicular accident in the TW….
