Nude beach, vegan BBQ: Nat'l Bikini Day

How to celebrate our American Buddhist freedoms most gloriously on this long Independence Day weekend?

First, the Boss says we have to work Friday. She's obviously never heard of rapper Kid Cudi and his "Pursuit of Happiness" because, like Project X which was filmed in Pasadena, we say F that.

• JULY 5, 2024 IS NATIONAL BIKINI DAY

Hedonism is no answer, but it's Nat'l Bikini Day.

"Independence" means taking days off when you feel like it. It was better in pagan times (according to scholar Dr. Hillman) in Europe when there were many more holy days to explore the Mysteries (initiation cults of the goddesses), when gentiles enjoyed almost as many holidays as Jews still do. We'll all call in sick and it should be fine.

And "bodily autonomy" means taking off everything down to our birthday suits if we feel like it -- if not everywhere, at least somewhere. Are we slaves to Judeo-Christian uptight morality or hippies who value personal freedoms above all things?

(DJ Chesney) California's best nude beach? Vlog 1: It was Valentine's Day 2018, when DJ and Oliver decided to visit Black's Beach. It's one of the only nude beaches in Southern California. There's a better one. It is breathtakingly beautiful, mainly due to the scenery, not so much the naked people.

Second, with this heatwave and not a cloud in the sky, it's time to hit the coast of Santa Monica Bay. Six beaches in Los Angeles are brown flagged, meaning the bacteria levels are too high to swim in, but the secret nude beach should be fine. If swimming nude is good enough for the dolphins, it's good enough for us. (Bikinis optional with some sunbathing).

Except the perchlorate and other "forever chemicals" from the Great American 4th of July Pastime of "drinking beer and playing with explosives" has left the air, sand, and water contaminated. So we better wear N-95 masks and filter our water and pick a better beach than Hermosa (Hyperion to a Satyr) or Dockweiler.

Third, how to build a clean and safe BBQ pit? We'll use real wood, burn it down to glowing embers without letting oil or juices drop into it, which creates smoke and flare ups that lead to acrylamides and other toxic formations (like soot and char) on food. Menu? Indigenous vegan dishes with Beyond Burgers (soy-free, gluten-free) and tangy BBQ sauce.

Ten Course Vegan Menu

1. HempFu (soy-free hemp seed tofu) sauteed with BBQ sauce
2. Jack-o-Molie (guacamole of avocado, Tajin, fresh lemon, serrano chilis, sea salt, cilantro/coriander leaves, cayenne pepper)
3. Salad (leafy green with tangy raw soaked seed dressing)
4. Amaranth, Mexico's indigenous staple (before corn)
5. Beyond Burgers (pea protein with avocado oil)
6. Three Sisters (beans, squash, and purple maize)
7. Salsa (tangy, spicy appetizer with lots of cilantro)
8. Purslane (verdolagas, one of the healthiest plants)
9. Mint lemonade (filtered water, ice, sweet lemons)
10. TJ's chocolate chip cookies (almond flour, coconut sugar)

US celebrates National Bikini Day July 5th

Long silk [boiled silkworms] "Buddha" Kimono (Bikini Beach Australia)

DANGER: Bikinis are a magnetic distraction to men, who are mysteriously drawn in by them.

.

Clumsy man overboard from red bikini.

Since July 5, 1946, females have been hitting the beaches and pool sides scantily clad in "bikinis" (floss and patches).

National Bikini Day marks the anniversary of the invention of the revealing two-piece bathing suit.

Named after the Bikini Atoll, where the United States military annihilated indigenous land by conducting atomic and nuclear bomb tests, the two-piece bathing suit made its debut in Paris in 1946.

Evidence of bikini from 1,000,000 BC

[This was possibly to distract US soldiers with pin up girls while they traveled the world, met new people, and killed them; after all, up until then the Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield posters had too much on].

French designer Jaques Heim wanted to name revealing bits of fabric "atom" [as in atomic bombs falling on Bikini Atoll?], but designer Louis Réard named his piece, revealed on this day (July 5th) in 1946, with the name "bikini" and the word stuck.

By World War II [because war and carnage have an odd way of wearing away at a nation's morals], sunbathers cast aside the chaste one-piece bathing costumes for simple two-piece bathing suits.

Settle down, Censors. This woman is 64, old enough to make a Beatles' song.

Is that Atom Atoll, Mom? - No, it's Bikini Atoll, Honey. - I'd like to wear one. - Me, too.

.

Should I come out, Claudia? - Why, Bil?

However, nothing prepared the United States for the revealing bikini when it hit the beaches on July 5, 1946.

[It wasn't even the Fifties yet, and eyes were bulging out of boy's and men's heads. Then the hippies in the Sixties went from two-piece down to no-piece in their efforts to help the USA wage peace.]

The skimpy strips of fabric were seen as less than a women's unmentionables [britches, panties, undergarments, lingerie].

We prefer modern Jain nuns

While Europe [which is cool with toplessness and has always had nude beaches] enthusiastically donned the bikini after a long and arduous world war, American's sense of [Puritanical] "decency" kept them from accepting the bikini until the 1960s.

[Hippies saved the day again because tooth floss bottoms and eye patch tops were seen as an improvement over pure nudity. Ah, hypocrisy, we're all for violence on TV but T&A? No way! Sex on the silver screen? Maybe, but only with an R, NC-17, X, or XXX rating, but carnage, slasher flicks, gore, sadistic violence? Sure, it's good for the kids. It makes them better soldiers, drinkers, and gun owners when they grow up.]

• Hooray for #NationalBikiniDay every July 5
• Bikini Beach Buddha, Cape Byron?

Commentary

Well, that's not so bad.

Please avoid Buddha Bikinis, as they are very offensive to the spiritual lives of more than a billion Buddhists in the world today. There are more than a billion uncounted Buddhism in communist China alone, so the true number of Buddhists worldwide is unknown but could be two billion.

And also please avoid places that call themselves Buddha Bar because it is an oxymoron given that the Buddha spelled out Five Precepts, things to abstain from doing:

Okay, now we're offended.

1. killing
2. stealing
3. sexual misconduct
4. lying
5. alcohol.

And while, no doubt, some Buddhists drink, it is not in keeping with the rudiments of the religion or the advice of the Enlightened One.

And while we're on the topic of things best avoided, the American habit of standing in front of a Buddha statue to take a picture is in bad form and very offensive to the locals, all the more so if you sit on his lap, put your arms around him, or heaven forbid kiss him.

Tibetan goddess in very revealing outfit

We in the West know what you mean and would love to go dry hump Dionysus in Greece or play grab@$$ with Aphrodite or get super friendly with Bacchus, but the Mediterranean Antiquities Department (MAD) would get really mad if we did. They won't even let tourists graffiti the Colosseum or deface ancient petroglyphs or take home souvenirs of ancient archeological digs like Gobekkli and Karahan Tepe. Go figure.]

Hawaii before US colonialism (video)

Hawaii used to be nice until the US decided to hit it with a Directed Energy Weapon: Maui fire

This is a private Scottish island in Hawaii

Happy Hawaii Day, the day the queen was overthrown and the islands were forced into subjugation and statehood, as rumor has it, by a giant fruit corporation that was intent on capitalizing on cheap production costs while enticing the US military with an offensive outpost to attack Japan and threaten Indochina (Vietnam), Laos, Cambodia, China, Korea, Russia, and the rest of the world. If the US could take the Philippines as a colony, they saw no reason why they couldn't or shouldn't abduct a thousand spare islands, atolls, and outcroppings (most of them now reserved for military purposes) we call the state of "Hawaii."

• NATIONAL HAWAII DAY | July 5 (National Day Calendar)

How was life in Hawaii before colonialism?

(Captivating History) Feb. 13, 2023: Just how did the ancient Hawaiians sail thousands of miles of open ocean without modern methods, without getting lost, and somehow discovering new islands? How did such a rich culture even come to exist on perhaps the most isolated archipelago in the world?

• ["Hawaii" is actually a set of over 1,000 islands though we only hear about five.]

Is the nickname of a “beach island paradise” an accurate description of the various kinds of beautiful, intriguing, and sometimes even dangerous topographies and natural phenomena that make up Hawaiʻi?

Neanderthals had sex w/ modern humans?

Ancient humans had a wild sex life

(Intrigued Mind) It turns out that ancient humans weren’t just having sex with each other. They were also having sex with other now-extinct human sub-species like Neanderthals and Denisovans. With the power of modern genome sequencing, scientists have been piecing together what parts of our DNA might be the result of interspecies affairs. #AncientHumans #Neanderthals #Denisovans #Pre-HistoricalAffairs

The strange truth about Neanderthal sex lives

(Weird History) Neanderthals (an extinct human species) remain one of the great mysteries of human evolution. They are modern human's closest relatives, but their habits elude us. We are learning more about our hominid cousins every day, and there is still so much we do not know, including the mystery of Neanderthal mating habits, as there is not a lot of evidence to describe what Neanderthal sex would have been like. Thankfully, there are new advances in genetic paleontology shining a light on this elusive subject, and the discoveries surrounding ancient human mating rituals continue to develop.

An Indigenous Peoples' History of the USA

AUDIOBOOK: An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States

(The Learners Library) ROXANNE DUNBAR-ORTIZ: What if Native Americans wrote a history of the USA? Howard Zinn wrote a book that Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz noticed left out the Indigenous contributions. He then deputized her with the responsibility of covering that portion of our collective history. And she lived up to it with a tremendous contribution to American history.

INTRODUCTION

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

Chapter 1, 2/11: Welcome to the Learners Library, a bastion of knowledge that embarks on an enlightening auditory journey. This edition presents An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by the esteemed Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz.

This audiobook installment includes the introduction and the initial chapters, offering a profound exploration of the historical narrative often obscured.

The introduction sets the stage for an in-depth examination of the Indigenous experience in the United States.

Author Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, a distinguished author and historian, meticulously guides us through the intricate layers of American history, providing valuable insights into the foundational chapters of American civilization.

Chapter 1: "Follow the Corn"

International Day of World's Indigenous People

In the initial chapter, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz takes readers on a journey into the heart of Indigenous (Native American) societies. This chapter serves as a foundational exploration of the intricate agricultural systems of Native American communities, with a particular focus on the significance of [the Frankenfood] corn (modified from ancient maize).

The title encapsulates the essence of the chapter, inviting readers to understand the profound connection between Indigenous peoples and their environment. By delving into the cultivation and importance of corn, Dunbar-Ortiz challenges prevailing Eurocentric perspectives, offering a more nuanced understanding of Native American cultures.

Chapter 2: "Culture of Conquest"

Following the agricultural exploration in Chapter 1, Dunbar-Ortiz transitions to a more somber theme. This chapter delves into the darker aspects of American history, examining the pervasive culture of conquest that shaped the interactions between Indigenous peoples and European colonial settlers. The title encapsulates the central theme, emphasizing the ideological underpinnings that justified the conquest, dispossession, and violence inflicted upon Indigenous communities.

"Culture of Conquest" serves as a critical examination of the forces that drove the colonization of Indigenous lands, challenging readers to confront the harsh realities of this historical period. As we embark on this intellectual journey, we encourage you to engage with the content, reflect on the narratives presented, and join the discourse on the multifaceted history of the United States.

Rite of passage: 'Long Line of Ladies' (film)

Long Line of Ladies (LA Asian Pacific Film Festival)

I called my dad and told him my menstrual period began. He was so happy, he rushed home.

.

(

When does a girl become a woman? Ihuk

VCM) "Long Line of Ladies is a stigma-breaking, female-directed short documentary that gives viewers a glimpse into the story of the Karuk tribe of Northern California.

"It takes a significant step forward, normalizing period conversations by highlighting a culture that celebrates and uplifts its young women when they come of age."

From Academy Award-winner Rayka Zehtabchi and Shaandiin Tome, Long Line of Ladies intimately observes the months-long process of one girl, her family, and their tight-knit Karuk as they come together to prepare for her Ihuk.

• Indigenous America's most sacred landmarks (USA)
• Ty'ithreeha Allen's Ihuk Ceremony: Alliance for California Traditional Arts (actaonline.org)

Are goddesses only symbolic?

The Ihuk is the Native American tribe's coming-of-age ceremony for girls, which had gone dormant for over a century due to the violence and destruction brought on by the new Americans and their California Gold Rush.

In the weeks leading up to her Ihuk, Native American girl Ahty learns traditional songs and dances and mentally and physically prepares to spend four days blindfolded and fasting on sacred, tribal land.

Meanwhile, the women and men of the tribe around her support and uplift her as they pass down knowledge, prepare regalia, and above all promote the continued revitalization of their sacred ceremony. 

• The Ihuk Ceremony and Maple Bark Skirts - Alliance for California Traditional Arts (actaonline.org)

When I was a girl

The Daughter-Goddess Persephone

My name is Ty’ithreeha Allen. I am 16 years old now. I had my Ihuk ceremony when I was 12. I grew up attending flower dances, which are coming-of-age ceremonies held for [Indian] girls who have become young women at the onset of their period. My mom was pregnant with me when the first flower dance, or Ihuk as it is called in the Karuk language, was held again after not being held for over 80 years. So I have grown up attending the dance and other ceremonies my entire life. I have grown up dancing, learning, and practicing my culture. My family and I prepared for my Ihuk for two years before the actual ceremony took place. All of that prepared me for my Ihuk as I entered womanhood. More

Discussion with the filmmakers

It's good to get our ancient culture back.

Stealing Native land for a good 4th of July

"Turn in your arms: The government will take care of you" (ironic billboard)

.

Map of the independent tribal nations

First, we (New Americans) settle on the East Coast. Take a little land here, a little land there, establish a beachhead at Plymouth Rock then construct a fort, order some guns from England and Europe, drop some diseases on these savages, and in no time, we'll own everything up to the Mississippi.

We can "purchase" the rest for our Manifest Destiny because Catholic Rome says by the Pope declared a Doctrine of Discovery, so white Christian men can claim any savage land for God, which becomes Vatican property by default but is lent to those who find it as regents on behalf of the papal god-king.

The Doctrine of Discovery (1493) is preserved in international law and used by settler colonial states (US, England, Israel) to justify and excuse their violence and genocides.

• Part of ReVisioning History:

BOOK: An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States

American author Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz has 4.7 out of 5 stars with 4,925 ratings. This is the first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples.

Today in the United States, there are more than 500 federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly 3,000,000 people, descendants of the 15,000,000 [with some estimates saying 100 million] Native people who once inhabited this land.

The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial project has largely been omitted from American history books.

Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire.

Native American woman, child, 1930

With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present.

In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing, eliminating, and erasing them.

Modern Apache in Pasadena to save Oak

And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military.

Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under Pres. Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who in 1836 wrote of the Seminoles:

“The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.”

Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative.

An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.

This New York Times bestseller is now part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul Peck. It is a recipient of the American Book Award. More
