Festa Junina or Festa de SΓ£o JoΓ£o
Translating literally, June Festivities or Saint John's Festivals is a celebration on the months of June and July in Brazil. It originated from European midsummer celebrations and includes some similar traditions like a large bonfire (that seems to make a lot more sense in the southern hemisphere because it happens during winter months) and also a dance derived from palatial European court balls, modified and redefined with new meaning, related to popular and rural themes and paired with brazillian "forrΓ³" or country music.
Dressing up and dances
Traditionally everyone wears plaid shirts/dresses, straw hats, painted on gap tooths, very blatant blush on cheeks and lots of painted freckles, girls wear their hairs in pigtails and boys paint on moustaches and beards. This is the stereotypical exaggerated rural look, and is more common for kids to dress this way, while in parties with mostly adults it's more common to just wear plaid shirts, a straw hat and do some make-up.
The dances are choreographed but very standard between places, with someone announcing vocal cues for specific dance steps, switching partners, doing coordinated group moves and sometimes ending in a mock wedding.
Traditional food
Now, the best part of it all, my favorite thing from this time of the year, THE FOOD!
The traditional foods are super delicious and mostly made out of corn, like corn cakes, cural, pamonha, but there's also peanuts, specially sweetened peanuts, popcorn, sweet or salted, caramelized apples, quentΓ£o, which is a warm spiced drink, that may or may not be alcoholic and is one of my favorite things.
I'll try to update the thread with some recipes later or maybe just talk more about food, but I can't promise I actually will.

Is asking for perky DDs and 2 inches on my hips too much to ask for???
I went for a walk early this morning and saw a shooting star - I wonder where it came from originally?
kind of unrelated, but your comment reminded me of this short film
Spoiler
The story really stuck with me, because it never gave a satisfying conclusion about where the shell came from originally.
Unlike alot of similar Sci-Fi horror this is also much more existential and if something like this happened irl i don't think I could ever sleep soundly again lol
spoiler Spoiler What if it did happen but did so in the 200 000 years of our species before we had advanced telescopes or in the billions of years before that

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
You know if you stare for not all that long at the sky, youll see shooting stars. They're way more common than I ever thought they were - provided its a clear sky and youre far enough away from bright artificial lights at night. They can be pretty much anything, random rocks, comet tail dust, interstellar dust, stuff thats been hanging out since our sun was a baby, just chunks and they dont have to be large to streak across the sky because of the sheer speed they crash in to our atmosphere. Every once in a long while a big asteroid hits a moon or a planet with enough force that it can knock chunks of that planet into orbit - and eventually it can make its way here too. If theyre big enough they can even make it to the ground on Earth. Theres rocks here on Earth right now from Mars, some of em are even in museums.
I bet burning up in the atmosphere feels amazing for the meteor
I mean I love a hot shower too
sex
Holy shit that rave was incredible. It was 90+% trans people and it didn't take long to catch a cute girl's eye, dance with her, kiss her, then make our way to designed succ zone. I think we spent an hour in there but I honestly lost track of time. Along the way, a few other trans girls joined in and it was the most ecstatic experience I've had since starting transition. The space was cool as hell, too. Old warehouse next to train tracks and the dance room had an amazing setup for visualizations that blew my mildly tripping mind.
May this find me one day
Implant update day 8, I'm feeling way less elevated, like I think it's definitely working but I think the levels are evening out. I'm kind of crashing out though.
I've been so hormonal the last week. Lots of extreme happiness but I woke up early one day and cried so much too.
I really want to row, it's such a tiny cut (like a cm) but I really need to let it heal, probably wait until day 10.
If you carefully look at the cloud you will see it is rainbowed!
I did not realize clouds could do this, although in hindsight it was obvious.
Wonder why I have never noticed rainbow clouds before?
I've got other photos of fireflies from yesterday but I need to develop them because my phone camera is not good with low light conditions

Yesterday night was a movie
A horror movie
Getting lost in the woods at midnight
Fucked up by poison ivy
Feeling sleepy but can't sleep
No internet
I must have walked at least 15 km (based on signs and shit)
Oh no π±glad you made it back safe!!
Thank you! It was tough. I kept going by reminding myself that my fav character would never give up 
i once got lost in the middle of a forest, in the winter, during night time while walking two dogs. 
thankfully i had my phone so i could access the map app.
anyway, i'm glad you're oki 
I wish there was stuff to do at night when I'm lonely, but alas
Weed. Vidya. That's all any of us can do, really.
Used to love weed and vidya, unfortunately my prefered way to partake (edibles) always left me feeling tired and a bit high the next day which isn't great, especially around my family
You can get lost in the woods
I'll try that tonight
Make sure to bring plenty of water, some snack bars and wear proper clothing so you don't get covered in poison ivy rashes (speaking from experience)
I was planning on going in hungover in jean shorts and a sports bra
Tch tch
It sounds like you need to work on your plan :)
But you can still strip after you get to a clearing!
I'll bring a bag of Fritos, I'm craving salt right now. And maybe I'll put on a tank top.
Good :) tbh was thinking yesterday about how much more comfortable I am being topless now then I was before.
Being top less sounds fun.
I have too much of a weight complex to be top less even though I am still attracted to people with my body shape.
ll bring a bag of Fritos, I'm craving salt right now
Just remember it'll make you thirstier so pack plenty of water.
It is, I'm surprised how big my tits are. Fun to show them off.
:/ I'm sorry. Weight issues suck, I've been feeling a bit better about my belly lately but it's still not ideal... And I remember how much worse it used to be.
Like buzzballs?
... no. Not buzzballs. I mean ok I'm being a hypocrite cause I had beer myself before heading into the woods.
queerphobia
My dad doesn't talk about lgbt people much, but when he does it's usually not great. This was about the sports team that forfeit a game rather then wear a pride jursey or whatever. And he's like "all people want to do is keep politics out of sports! Some of them said they didn't even have a problem with that stuff, they just want to leave it out of sports!"
βBy the way that jet flyover was sick!β
My dad tells me to say to my girlfriend "in this house we eat 
" chat and I'm trying to figure out how I break the news to her I don't wanna catch her off guard.
serious
I get he means more in the sense of economics and staying true to culture and my values, he's not in the bean meme stuff. I think he's had experiences with past girlfriends before my mom who wanted a lot of material things more than wanting to be with him so he's prob just looking out for me. One day if I ever have money I don't think I'll abandon the crockpot/rice cooker life for fancy vegan stuff maybe just get a bigger crockpot/rice cooker or some better ingredients.
beans and bread are the perfect meal 
they complement each other like us 
Love too spend 20 minutes doing makeup that looks like I've done nothing but slightly yassify my face. I was typing it sarcastically, but I actually do love it, idk what the difference is between no makeup and "no makeup" but I look cute! just have to figure out how to do eyeliner christ
wore skirt out and used girls bathroom for the first time, nerve-wracking but exhilarating? living my truth or w/e
What if I start making my own hormones after I become a pharmacist 
This time I'm going to take anti-depressants seriously.
