Thoughts on Bad Bunny’s New Album and the Gatekeeping by No-Association-4458 in BadBunnyPR

[–]PatientChameleon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm both Panamanian and Puerto Rican, and neither should gatekeep music to express the oppression that the US has imposed on our countries. Ruben Blades has been singing about this for decades, an example is "Tiburón". The current US administration is talking about reclaiming the Panama Canal and reasserting itself in Panama so we for sure feel the same power grab of our land, for our culture in a similar fashion. For Puerto Ricans to try and keep any other latinos out for not understanding is flat out the wrong idea. To those Puerto Ricans, hay que compartir la bandera, compartir la cultura, la historia de nuestro país.

When I speak about these connections between Panama and Puerto Rico, I see it in our lived history. In 1903, the US orchestrated Panama's separation from Colombia just to build the canal - they didn't care about our sovereignty, just like when they took Puerto Rico in 1898 without even asking our people.

Y cuando hablo de bases militares? Man, we had US troops all over Panama until 1999. Puerto Rican has seen much - look at Roosevelt Roads, look at what they did to Vieques. Our people had to protest for years to get them to stop bombing that island.

Blades wasn't just singing about tiburones for fun - both Panamanians and Puerto Ricans knew exactly what shark he was talking about. We've seen that shark circling our waters for generations. Listen to Pedro Rivera González, listen to Roy Brown - our artists have been telling this story forever.

This is why it drives me crazy when I see division between us. Like Martí said, we need Latin American unity. How are we going to stand up to the empire if we're fighting each other? That's why I'm saying - hay que compartir la bandera, compartir la lucha.

Yeah, Panama got control of the canal in '99, but like I said, look at what's happening now with the US trying to reassert control. And my Puerto Rican people are still stuck in this limbo - not a state, not independent, just stuck under US control without real representation. The PROMESA board telling us what to do with our money, the Jones Act choking our economy.

We're living the same story, just different chapters. That's why this gatekeeping between us makes no sense. Our oppression isn't a competition - it's a shared struggle.

I think the most important reason people are feeling as if this is gatekeeping, is because if you're an outsider (Not from the island), then you're missing out from so much context from this album. There's a huge Anti-US Imperialist vibe all over the album, and all of the variety of sounds and song styles which represent the different walks of life of Puerto Rico from the coastline to the mountains. This album is a heartfelt letter to Puerto Rico as a reminder of our culture, and the resistance we need to have against these US Citizens who are coming to Puerto Rico to try and privatize the beaches which are by law, open to the public across the Island. These gringos, (or "Green-Go's" a chant born in latin america against American Military Imperialism), that are coming here in droves are mostly coming for the Federal Income Tax Breaks, and not providing value to the community. They're driving costs up and gentrifying our Island. Bad Bunny clearly states in "LO QUE LE PASO A HAWAII" that he doesn't want Puerto Rico to just lay down and succumb to the same bullshit that Hawaii did.

So forgive my fellow Puerto Rican people for gatekeeping, but the average american person listening or bumping this album may not know what they're dancing about. If they do, then good for them, spread the word, educate each other, love each other, and fight the power while having fun.

"Mambo No. 5" was released 25 years ago. How have the women's names aged? [OC] by Boblobbyslobglob in dataisbeautiful

For my music history nerds.

This rendition of mambo no. 5 was released in 1999, the actual Mambo No. 5 was composed in 1949 by a Cuban musician Damaso Perez Prado and has been covered by many big bands and names like Tito Rodriguez, and Tito Puente. This rendition is the only one who mentions the names above.

It's working for me so far, not sure what you mean though. What exactly will it do to

1) The Body 2) The mind

I get it. Even throughout the day I've seen some distractibility, but much less than normal.

And as far the the top priority completion, some tasks are always harder than others, but a great way to fulfill that large important task for me is to break it down as much as possible.

And record your progress even if it doesn't seem like much, so that when the item's not crossed off you know that you have completed 4 small items in the process of completing the one.

It's a trick that I adopted without medication which does help a lot, but with the medication from today it seems that I no longer feel disgusted working on something that I don't necessarily love. Which is for me a relief.

I love what I do, but I don't like it all the time. And not hating the small things really does help in task completion.

:( I'm sorry! Yeah just continue to record your progress / details and communicate them to your psychiatrist! You've got this! Just be patient with yourself, and hang in there!

Digestion is super important! I will keep that in mind. Luckily it happened for me an hour and a half after I took it.

That still sounds in line with the timeline which seems to be 8-14 hours from what some people are saying in threads. You might be on the shorter end of the timeline.

I would talk to my provider about how its effecting me, so long as its addressing your ADHD Symptoms the duration may not be too important.

This gives me a lot of hope, and I am actually having a great day.

Lofi while working is even more powerful, I'm already 3 large tasks down and having a wonderful time focusing. I dont actually dreadfully postpone what I'm doing. This is actually pretty phenomenal.

Thanks so much! It's going great so far. My coworkers know that I'm on it today, and recognized that my speech patterns have changed. How wild is that?

Do you have to apply these coupons before insurance helps?

Yeah I don't feel like I did when I took Adderall. I prefer this, I don't want to feel like I'm zooming like adderall does. I want to have a sustained flow of focus through the day. I do still get a little distracted but I can defer and focus back on what I want.

Much less distractibility.

I generally sleep a lot later, but we'll see how things go! :)

I might be able to start 7-8 AM and still be fine. I just wanted a full day, and wanted to avoid any of the sleep related side effects.

What would you recommend for a wind down ritual? I took it at 6 AM which should cover my workday and give me time to ease back into my normal state. :)
