I found an interesting rabbit hole while looking into the origins of the Castas and limpieza de sangre. It has quite a different meaning here in New Mexico, and it illustrates some of our history that I didn't expect to surface through this exploration of Castas.

An interesting aspect I'd kind of forgotten as a people is how the Government/Church left us for decades if I remember correctly and we had Penetentes or the Brotherhood of Light to keep our villages and churches going through that time. Then it has never been super smooth with the church once the coast was finally clear and the Church returned.

The mix of politics and church are quite interesting from back in the day. I am hearing that the Casta System hit the scene based on the Council of Trent. I'll have to dig deeper on this for the details. But it has origins in the conversion/expulsion of 1492.

@justinz Ta but no, noooooooooooooooooo, no. I'm a browser kinda gal, i wanna do as much as i can of my daily pootering* within my browser, not have to run separate apps [which i stubbornly regard as being entirely superfluous if the same function can be performed in a browser].

* Notable exceptions: Thunderbird & LibreOffice. Oh, & KeePassXC + KMyMoney. Um, also Ksnip. Erm, then there's Goodvibes & RadiotrayNG. Ah, whatabout...

Amongst our weapons... I'll come in again. #SpanishInquisition

After 6 weeks of no -stop working in the house, I’ll give myself a day off & watch the #cricket. It’s a dead rubber, so no stress. I’ll need tea, biscuits, gin, tonic, crisps, 3 Ginsters Steak Slices &, of course the comfy chair.
