It's peanut, but not as we know it!
Arachis vilosullicarpa is a different species to "normal" peanut, grown by some of the native peoples of the Central West of Brazil (eg the Tauandé and Nambiquari). It's an 'independent domesticate'.
Look at those amazing S-shaped seeds!
Seeds from the fantastic @USDA germplasm bank!
*Correct spelling is villosulicarpa

Native American scholar Professor Tink Tinker once explained to me that the US is a State not a nation. Once that concept is internalised, it really helps to make sense of a lot of the history of the US State and its institutions of power, culture, & (war) economy.
E.g. nations (depending on how you define the word - I'm broadly influenced by Benedict Anderson) are generally organic, 'imagined communities', that evolve, move, dissolve, are murdered from existence, and can be born & reborn. States are static, top down, instruments of power.
The US is not a nation because although it was very much an imagined community, that imagining wasn't a shared, inclusive, process of unification and identification, because, most importantly, the ownership of that imagining wasn't shared, and the right to it was segregated.

OK - I know I think some people's perception of the current state of play is twisted by their long term deep dislike of JC. They probably think the same in reverse of me and others. So let's set that to one side, if we can & see what we might agree on...

I’m remembering how much I love about Brazil 🇧🇷 today. I’ve traveled almost all over the country over the past decade here, and I thought maybe I should share my very favorite places.😻 Thread, share with your friends who want to visit #Brazil!👇
(1) I’m a beach bunny, & Brazil provides endless beaches for me to explore. Several of my favorites are in a rarely-visited area along the south coast of Paraíba state in the Northeast. Pink cliffs juxtapose turquoise waters like a painting, & the forests are awesome for hikes.
(2) Brazil has a ton of really special colonial towns. Paraty is wonderful, but I often get annoyed by crowds & rain. The town I prefer is #OuroPreto in Minas Gerais. The air there is so brisk & fresh, the people are so kind, and all I want to do when I’m there is stroll forever.

We’re now going to Brazil, where a Sao Paulo court ruled that the censorship of a play about a transgender Jesus is unconstitutional.
jezebel.com/sao-paulo-cour…
The play The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven, which follows Jesus living as a transgender woman in the present day, became so popular inside #Brazil that it went on tour around the country.
(Photo: @JundiaiAgora)
Originally presented in 2009, the play recounts the story of Jesus living in the present as a trans woman grappling with intolerance while at the same time offering a message of forgiveness.
