Bamboula’s Village was an attempt to recreate an Ivory Coast village within the Planète Sauvage zoo in Port-Saint-Père, near Nantes, in France.
In 1994, the biscuit brand Biscuiterie Saint-Michel teamed up with the safari park to create the village, naming it “Bamboula’s Village” after its “Bamboula” chocolate biscuits, which had a black mascot with the same name (a racial slur, dating from colonial times).
Twenty-five Ivorians, including children, were hired for six months to build and inhabit the village. They performed every day of the week, and received pay below the French minimum wage. Dancers were forced to work bare-chested despite bad weather. Performers’ passports were confiscated; most lived confined to their huts (the park gate being closed in the evenings), which provided less space than required by labour law. Children were kept out of school, while medical care was provided by the zoo’s veterinarians.
Anti-racist organisations and unions formed the group “Non à la réserve humaine” [“No to the Human Zoo”] and began legal action against the park. By the time that the court had sent an expert to document human-rights violations, the performers had been ordered out of the country. The village was closed in September of 1994. The park had to pay a symbolic one French franc (€0.15) in damages, plus legal fees. Bamboula’s Village was demolished, and the Bamboula chocolate biscuit was no longer sold.
just playing i respect it, personally i think we should aim for this

When I was in middle school my brother was pissed at me so he replaced every piece of paper in all of my folders with pages of manga he ripped out of my one punch man book
My high school sex ed never taught anything gay or anal. So I knew to wear a condom with my first girlfriend, but until I was a freshman in college (a year ago…) I didn’t realize it’s important to wear one with a guy too. First gay experience, we’d been seeing each other for a month and I thought I was pretty ready, sock on the dorm door and everything, but then bro asked me if I had a condom and I was like “huh?” And obviously I didn’t so he just gave me head instead
For whatever reason I thought condoms only helped in vaginal sex, since that’s the only thing they taught its use for. Didn’t really know how gay and bi men prevent STIs other than monogamy and a few other assumptions. Part of that stupidity was probably just me being optimistic and horny brained about not having to wear anything
They want protestors to be quiet and in the distance. God forbid they inconvenience people to get their voices heard
I’m a zoomer and my middle & high school had us do a large majority of stuff on a computer, so my handwriting kinda sucks now
whenever I use pen & paper now, I look at what I wrote and realize I still have the handwriting of a fucking 12 y/o. I also type a lot faster than I write

Ok I didn’t see that thread because I tend to look over some posts. I still think drawing attention to a post isn’t fully the same when we’re all one giant community of communities. I feel like you’re being a little over reactive to some terminally online people being argumentative and annoying you a bit. Maybe it is sort of a brigade tho.
you’re turning on your peers, whilst patting yourself on the back for being inclusive
Respectfully I feel like you’re doing this right now, wanting to separate from other trans folks just because the vocality of their beliefs is annoying you and a few of the people in this thread were rude. Unfortunately stuff like this is gonna happen if someone makes a post specifically about us, but in no other cases have we gone around dominating blahaj posts. I also don’t see how we’re “disrupting a safe and inclusive space” by giving our takes.
I’m sorry but I don’t understand how commenting under a post from an instance we’re federated with is considered brigading. It’s not like we’re posting about/linking to a separate space to infiltrate. Our communities are under the same umbrella, so this just shows up in our feed.
Are people from hexbear jumping into a discussion that should maybe primarily be reserved for blahaj? Maybe, but I think people just want to offer our side of things, and we honestly just don’t want the two biggest queer spaces in the fediverse breaking up because we’re often edgy and argumentative/passionate about leftist beliefs.
I also don’t think we’re derailing from anything or preventing you from having a defederation conservation among yourselves just because we leave replies.
(some) Americans are so self-important when they mention states being the same size as other peoples’ countries lmao. "Why should we have to point to Germany on a map if Germans can’t even point to le bigger Montana? "
It’s like, do they feel the same about knowing other big countries’ internal divisions? Canadian provinces? Russian federal subjects? Brazilian states? Chinese provinces? Australian states? Cuz the average subdivision in all those countries is larger than the average US state.
And people usually know the most important ones, anyways (Cali, Texas, Florida, NY)
Not that much easier, there’s 23 countries not 3 lmao
In high school, I dm’d a guy in my class “you’re handsome bro”
His response was something like, “you too man I appreciate it!”
We both assumed each other were straight after that, but like a week before graduation, he randomly tells me he had a crush on me. And when I tell him I felt the same, he was like “damn I assumed that DM was probably only a compliment”
wasn’t this the lady who was racist and transphobic on the set of AHS
