THE MOON RABBIT

Many cultures have interpreted the dark markings on the moon to look like a rabbit or hair. This has led to many myths and folk-tales about how that rabbit ended up in the moon.
Interestingly a lot of those story revolve around the themes of virtue through self sacrifice.
In the Jataka tales from India, The rabbit came across an old man begging for food. Knowing only how to collect grass, the rabbit threw itself onto the fire so the man would have something to eat. The rabbit miraculously was not burnt though, and the old man reviled himself to be a Deva, and touched by the rabbits show of virtue drew the rabbits likeness on the moon as reward.
There is a similar Japanese legend with localized elements.

In Aztec legend, there is again a similar story, of a hair offering herself to a hungry Quetzalcoatl, as the god traveled in human form. Again, the rabbit was placed in the moon as reward for its selflessness.
In Mayan art, glyphs, hieroglyphics, and inscriptions, a rabbit frequently is shown with their Moon Goddess and another deity related to the moon.
Interestingly, there is not believed to be any crossover between the Asian and indigenous American
moon rabbit legends.

In Chinese mythology the moon hair mixes herbs for the elixir of immortality for the immortals of legend.

Hello fellow antifacists,

if you speak german, I could need your skills.
(boost appreciated to actually reach out to the german speaking side of the fediverse)

1/4

so tired of anarchy's only vibe being punk.

instead of white boys drawing graffiti on brick walls, give me black lesbians harvesting the vertical farm on the side of their collectively governed skyscraper

instead of white boys wearing black and flipping off cops, show me an open air market that doesn't need police because everyone can take what they need

vandalizing walls and flipping off cops are valid forms of resistance, but what we're fighting for is beautiful too

lo-fi beats to trudge and loiter to

capitalists: without the profit motive, nobody would do anything

modding communities: i have ported rollback netcode into super smash brothers melee

ok hear me out: what if libraries, but for everything
