I think I've done a sufficient number of threads to begin compiling them here. They'll mostly be dealing with history and socio-cultural issues, and I'll throw some folklore in too
, the Golden Shell of Kaptan has the power to transform its wielder into anything. It was supposed to be a gift to the sea god Maguayan, but was stolen by the giant, Sinogo, who was later punished by Kaptan. #Philippinemythology#MythologyMonday
Know those times Southeast Asians fight over who created certain foods? Now imagine you're a westernised Pakistani who believes certain Indian food isn't Indian but is specifically Pakistani because it has meat. And imagine thinking that all Indians are vegetarian

After the Japanese god Susanoo was banished by the other gods for bad behaviour, he killed an 8 headed dragon & saved his future wife. From the dragon's tale he pulled a magical sword that he gifted to Amaterasu, which later became part of Japan’s sacred regalia

Good morning, bird app! Us at IKAT released another information slide deck regarding what it means to be Indigenous with a capital I. That's right, just because you're Filipino/a/x doesn't mean you're Indigenous.

#Kruengdailylife They play music for spiritual figures and their musical instruments are traditional and include singing a song together. They said spirit will be happy with them processing this traditional custom.
There's a reason there are barely any fascist archaeologists. The story of humanity and the past is all about movement. It's one of the first things you realise.
Also this is Monty Python-esque levels of daftness:
I often hear men say that they simply don’t see a lot of misogyny because no one in their circle of friends is a misogynist, which is weird because I’m not friends with any misogynists either but I see misogyny all the fucking time.
The purpose of philosophy is to examine the underlying assumptions of our society. People who say philosophy is useless apparently think this work is finished, and what you see now is the ideologically perfect society.
I don't know about you, but this seems a bit off to me.
I used to work with the office who helped Naj*b write the "pembangunan lestari" part of the Malaysia Plan. I can confidently say that no one knew or cared about what it really meant or entailed. Just sexy buzzword at the time like "blue ocean strategy" (usage = auto left swipe).
White people are responsible for educating themselves about systemic racism, and their role within it, as part of our mandate to dismantle it. So too, are men responsible for educating themselves about misogyny. I’m tired of the bullshit. If you wanted to learn you would.
I often imagine the direction Islam would've gone without the hadith

Thread on the unreliability of hadith and Zoroastrian influence on early Islam
While the Quran is the central text in Islam, the religion would be massively different without the hadith. The hadith informs sunnis of the 5 pillars of Islam, how to pray salah, sharia law etc
It is amazing how much sexual repression exists in the Muslim community. All the insults towards ex Muslims and Atheists seem to be of a sexual nature. "Now that you're an Atheist you can do incest, bestiality" etc LOL it is clear what's on your mind.
One of the greatest military heroes I've ever met was Chinese. His rise in the Royal Malaysian Military was 'stunted' due to him being non-Bumi, but he knew that going into it. So he retired at the highest rank a he could, after decades of active service.
You don't know shit.
#Krueng They used an old tradition to keep water inside a bottle gourd and the water is cooler inside. In this picture, a little boy drinks water from a bottle gourd. Look at the little boy and you will see the answer by his face.
