Sanfoneira of the Night 🦇

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

Amazing poster, this movie. By the way, have I shown you my cangaceiro knife?

Faca de ponta, Nordeste, Brazil, circa 1910-1940, 30.5 cm total, carbon steel blade 20.2 cm, silver and ivory handle. The ivory was probably taken from a billiards ball. Superb knife, one of my favourites.

It may not actually be a faca do cangaço i.e. cangaceiro knife (shhh), impossible to know, but it's certainly like such knives, from that time and place: a faca nordestina, typology Pasmado / Baixa Verde or thereabouts. See here.

Distancia de rescate (Samantha Schweblin) y Pedro Páramo (Juan Rulfo) son novelas fragmentarias que tambien tienen caracteristicas del realismo magico! Estan muy buenas, Pedro Paramo lo recomiendo x1000!!

En Distancia de Rescate hay un mal que esta atacando la sociedad moderna, y a lo largo del libro (el cual esta escrito unicamente en dialogos) tenés que ir descubriendo cuál es ese mal. El libro literalmente empieza asi: "son como gusanos". Tipo, wow.

Y Pedro Páramo uffff no hay que googlearlo ni leer mucha sinopsis pq te spoilean fuerte, y tiene varios misterios. Basicamente es un hombre que va a un pequeño pueblo para buscar a su padre y pedirle que le compense por haberlo abandonado a el y a su madre. Sin embargo, al llegar ahi se entera de que su padre ya murió.
