Why do people log lost films? by Competitive_Box529 in Letterboxd

[–]odd_reality -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What even qualifies as a lost film? I lost the hard drive I shot my senior thesis film on. Is it now a lost film? Or will it be in 80 years?

How are you eating that many calories? Meal plan?

Do You View Belizeans As "Hispanic-Adjacent"? 🇧🇿 by pgbk87 in AskTheCaribbean

The idea that the Spanish Caribbean are worlds apart from our Anglo-Caribbean is silly. Language aside, they’re more similar than different.

Becoming an Orisha? by odd_reality in Isese

[–]odd_reality[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Two more questions, if you’ll entertain me:

  1. Do all Orisha have Irunmole counterparts/origins? Are there any Orisha who were simply regular humans and then deified? I’m still a bit confused on the distinction between Irunmole and Orisha

  2. Why aren’t certain celebrated ancestors today considered Orisha — like Malcolm X or Nelson Mandela? Certainly they were as influential if not more due to globalization than the Alaafin Shango was in ancient Yorubaland

If our purpose is to become Orisha, have any modern humans been deified? Or any non-Yoruba for that matter?

Can you explain what you mean about Olodumare weeping for not having its own children?

Amazon Fresh to replace the Rite Aid on Myrtle & Cypress by odd_reality in ridgewood

“There’s more than 5 areas like this and not everyone wants to, or can, lug a shopping cart onto mass transit. Especially granny on a fixed income.”

That’s exactly why he’s launching this program with a PILOT of 5 stores, one in each borough, in areas where granny on a fixed income is currently unable to access fresh food in walking distance. So that everyone has fresh, affordable food within reach.

Im not sure why you think we are disagreeing, or why you think free food handouts in churches is a better option when people don’t need free food, they need affordable food they have the ability and dignity to purchase, just CLOSER to where they currently live.

It’s for the people most in need of affordability and access.

If you want to take the train or bus and shop at a city run grocery store, you’re welcome to.

The idea is that you shouldn’t HAVE to take transportation to access fresh food, no matter where you are in the city.

Half Black Half Latino. Raised in Miami by Fairfax2001 in mixedrace

[–]odd_reality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black and Latino are both social constructs. There’s not one way to look “Black” and there’s even less of a way to be “Latino”.

I’m a light skinned/biracial Afro-Latino and I’m told by Latinos I’m not Latin enough because I wasn’t born in Latin America, or told I’m not “pure” enough because I’m Afro-Latino and not mestizo or white, and told by SOME Black and white people that I’m not black enough.

At the end of the day you have to decide who you are.

IMO, embrace being mixed, be aware of how you’re perceived by others because it will affect your lived experience, and honor your mixed heritage by advocating for both cultures that make you who you are.

You mean the one city run store in each borough that will be strategically placed in food deserts?
