Technically still Halloween, the wee ones are in bed, clutching their tummies with dread, and we can talk about something really scary: The End Of The World! (insert spooky music here.)
Some say the #Hopi people have a legend that says when the Blue Star returns, it will bring about the 5th age, and end our current one. As #3iatlas was nearing the sun (and doing some weird stuff), it started glowing blue. The End is Nigh!
Or so some folks would like you to believe. Only, none of it is true. The "Hopi blue star" legend was started by a white dude in 1963. I would like to point out the sheer volume of indigenous culture white dudes in the 60s appropriated, modified, rewrote or completely invented.
This "rapture-esque legend" has no written or oral record before novelist Frank Water's Book of the Hopi.
So, despite our best and fervent wishes, I don't think we're going to get Giant Meteor 2025 to end this nonsense for us.
