I turned off my VPN for the first time in forever to test something and forgot to switch it back on. However, I finally caught it when I tried to go to Archive.today, only to find that my local ISP had blocked the site, claiming it was some kind of scam site.

Let's not forget the Black Legend spread by the Anglophone world that the Spaniards did nothing but abused and exploited New Spain. If that were true, why would they build so many universities in the New World? #education #asknostr View quoted note →
