*Twoot!* Happy New B'ak'tun 13.0.0.0.0!

Yup! It's the Mayan version of the New Millennium!

And yes, that's all it was ever going to be -- even in ancient Mayan mythology.

Let's hope the next 394.26 years is better than the last 394.26 years...

Be good to each other, people!

Yay! I even got to go to a party. It was an early Christmas dinner but I liked to think of it as a Mayan/Solstice celebration since it was on the right date.

\o/ Party for the Win!

And a happy new B'ak'tun to you!

I could write a post about how problematic the deliberate misunderstanding of other culture's myths in the name of sensationalism is. I am so tired of the mystical-prophetic view of non-Western.

Amen! I swear there aren't enough words in human languages to write a book on how bad and wrong this is... Really.

I did catch this video, yesterday (this morning?), that I thought was a good response:
