Is there any #book that changed your life? And why?
On #23May in 1541, Juan Pizarro Yupanqui was baptised.
He was Cuxirimay’s son with Francisco Pizarro. Cuxirimay was an Inca princess and had been betrothed to Atahualpa when the Spanish arrived.
Juan died young, but his mother lived an incredible life in Cusco, Peru.

Welcome to some new users I discovered this week :
"Her father instilled in her a respect for Mother Earth — Pachamama — and a passion for agriculture. She would later attend university in Lima and then visited the department of Junín, where she was introduced to maca, which only grows in the central Andean region, at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters."

* What do I enjoy about being my gender?
* Why do I identify with my gender?
* What gendered expectations do I put on myself? Do I enjoy those expectations? Why or why not?
* What gendered expectations do I put on others? Why?
* How do societal pressures affect my gender presentation?
* In what ways could I better feed my gender? What small things could I do in order to make it happy?
* How do I visualize gender as a concept? What does my gender, in specific, look like?

#Today in 1782...
18th May was chosen as the day when Indigenous leaders and their family members would be executed in front of each other one by one.
They'd been involved in a very just 18th-century uprising in #Peru led by Tupac Amaru II.

Some random quick Mastodon tips which new people may find useful:
-You don't need link shorteners on Mastodon because all links count for 23 characters of your limit, no matter how long they really are.
-Make sure you include https:// at the start of website addresses so they will turn into clickable links.
-If you're using website Mastodon, you can switch to dark or light mode by going to ⚙️ Preferences > Site Theme > Mastodon Dark (or Mastodon Light). Some servers have even more colour options 🎨
-On the official app you can go to ⚙️ Settings and select Light or Dark there.
-You can report rule-breaking toots by clicking "..." on the toot and selecting Report. This goes to your server admin, and optionally anonymously to the rule-breaker's server admin too.
Currently reading this for research.
It's a compelling nonfiction account of genocidal atrocities committed during the rubber boom in Peru. Highly recommend. It's definitely something that should be more widely known. I lived in the Ecuadorian Amazon for over 7 years and didn't know how bad it was before I read this.
QOTD: Tell me something that more people should be aware of.

Hello. Hope someone sees this.
I can't log into my account from any device. It says wrong credentials but it's definitely the right email address and I'm 90% certain of the password. I even tried recovering password just in case but never got the reset email.
It's been over a week now.
Cheers
