Kids playing at the Iglesia de Jesus, Tercer Orden, #merida. Like many churches in Yucatan, it is unquestionably beautiful … and built from stones pulled from Maya structures, an attack on Maya culture, pure and simple. How should we look at these structures today? #hiddenspots

I’ve discussed this with a digital content expert*, and we’ve identified that the problem with the lameness of Bluesky is that people don’t repost content enough on here, which, bc there’s no algorithm, they should, to amplify posts worth seeing.
Y’all need to retweet (yes I know) more.
