'Serpentine Cosmopolitics: Cross-cultural analysis of the Rainbow Serpent'

From Amazonia to Australia, rainbow snakes coil at the heart of the cosmologies of Indigenous peoples, embodying forces of creation, destruction, and renewal. Known variously as nagas, dragons, or rainbow serpents, these chthonic entities are intimately entangled with water, blood, women, and untamed power. Among Batek hunter-gatherers of Malaysia, as well as other Southeast Asian Indigenous communities, the violation of taboos—especially those linked to blood—is believed to incite the wrath of these beings who are said to unleash catastrophic floods capable of annihilating entire settlements.

Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Malaysia, Ivan Tacey examines the roles of rainbow serpents in Batek creation myths, rituals, and cosmological landscapes, comparing these traditions with similar narratives and practices from Amazonia and Australia. Offering a cosmopolitical analysis, Ivan critiques the limitations of New Animist approaches, proposing instead that the global prevalence of rainbow snakes in Indigenous cosmologies reflects a 'time-resistant syntax of myth and ritual,' as theorized in Knight, Power, and Watts’ model of human origins.

Lecturer at the University of Plymouth, Ivan will be speaking LIVE in the Daryll Forde, 2nd Floor of UCL Anthropology Dept, 14 Taviton St, London WC1H 0BW. Come in good time by 6:30pm before doors close please. You can also join on ZOOM ID 384 186 2174 passcode Wawilak

I'm early awaiting next Apple Watch to have some kind of hardware utility for people with High Blood Pressure.

Until then, I think I'll be happy with recommending a normal Blood Pressure cuff with batteries and just annotating the values on a spreadsheet.

YHE BP Doctor Fit looks cool, not going to lie, tho.

Giving blood frequently may make your blood cells healthier.

New Scientist reports: "Men who had given blood more than 100 times in their life were more likely to have blood cells carrying certain beneficial mutations, suggesting that donating blood promotes the growth of these cells."

maybe its #fearmongering

but just keep in mind this #woman could be right

the #pressconference might have been one big show

to show the world how bad #zelenskyy is, that he does not want #peace and does not want a #deal

#pressconference #fallout: what might be also right, that #mankind will die not because of #climatechange but lack of #socialskills X-D

will #Trump abandon #Ukraine (and #democracy)?

pull out of #NATO and let #Europe and #Russia fight to the death = #worldwar3?

it is basically the #ww2 business concept all over again: #USA will sell a lot of #weapons like this = boost their #economy (based on #blood of others)

it has happened before infosec.exchange/@Linknation/1

and when #Russia wins they support #Europe and when #Europe wins they support #Russia X-D

"hurray" "congratulations all involved"
