lightning & thunder need time,
the light of the stars needs time,
deeds need time, even after they are done,
to be seen & heard.
this deed is as yet further from them than the furthest star, &
yet they have done it!

LONG HISTORY THREAD
So I'm gonna own right off the bat that this isn't my original idea but something that I've seen brought up a lot of times in things like history TIL threads. With that out of the way, I do feel like brainstorming this a bit more.

First off, Spanish colonialism connected Western Europe to Africa (Northern African Moors and primarily Western African slaves) to the Americas (Gulf of Mexico, SW US down to Chile etc) to Asia (Marianas, Philippines and China). Other countries participated too but stay with me.
Their main goal was to connect Spain to the Spice Islands (Moluccas/Maluku) and convert people to Catholicism along the way. The papal bull Inter caetera issued in 1493 and Treaty of Tordesillas the next year "allowed" the division of the New World between Spain and Portugal.
The call for #GenerationalBlending and an #IntergenerationalConsensus continues to gather traction as we draw towards elections. Zimbabweans are a conservative lot who are not attracted to extreme right and liberal undertones being fronted by the MDC

The next election will be no different from the previous elections. The only difference will be the different names on the ballot. This means, the party that won in 2013 is poised for the same, if not greater, win this year. @MisterFa1980 @YLZANUPF1
3. ZANU PF has proven beyond any shadow of doubt it is the party whose policies and polity resonates with the masses of Zimbabwe. This Zanu PF has done through opening up the space for economic growth and prosperity for all Zimbos. @BooBoy112
One thing I’m worried about—in addition to my family’s safety—re: #Maria in #PuertoRico is how #colonialism capitalizes on #NaturalDisaster
In the early 1900s US #businesses were able to monopolize #PuertoRican farm land after Hurricane San Ciriaco (1899) devastated the #island
#Farmers who were never able to rebuild after the #hurricane were forced to either give up their #land or enter unjust agreements
