[Dal fulmine la luce][Marie-Claire Blais]
“Dal fulmine la luce” di Marie-Claire Blais mette nuovamente in scena il respiro apocalittico di una grande scrittrice del nostro tempo, un inno al fragile splendore della Terra e alla forza redentrice dell’arte
Nel secondo volume del ciclo Soifs, ancora una volta ambientato nella lussureggiante isola senza nome del Golfo del Messico, microcosmo in cui luce e oscurità si combattono senza trovare riposo, il lettore troverà molti degli iconici personaggi de “La sete”, tra cui Renata, Carlos, Samuel, Mélanie, Mama e Vénus, ma conoscerà anche nuovi protagonisti tormentati dalla stessa sete di vita, giustizia…

Mayotte doesn’t have any water left.
Tumblr media
Mayotte is a French overseas territory. Aka a modern colony.
The majority of the (indigenous) population is Black and Muslims and yes it matters to the situation. Mayotte is not like other French overseas territories white people don’t go there on vacation and they don’t move to live there.
It became French in 1841. It used to belong to the Comoros. The indigenous people living in the Comoros and in Mayotte are genetically one and the same. In 1974 France made a referendum asking if they wanted to be independent or not on the 4 islands of the Comoros. The deal was that the votes would be counted TOGETHER. When France counted the vote they realized that the island of Mayotte “wanted to stay French” so they changed the rules and said that the vote was independent for each island and that because of the result in Mayotte a second vote would happen. That’s how Mayotte was officially separated from the Comoros and became a French overseas territory.
The inequalities between mainland France and Mayotte are crazy. In mainland France 15% of the population lives under the poverty threshold. In Mayotte it’s 75%.
Now it’s an island and islands are known to have very limited ressources in water. Except the situation is getting really bad. 30% of the population doesn’t have access to running water all year long they just live in such an extreme poverty they can’t get running water at home. But it reached the point where the 70% of the population who had access to drinkable running water now only have drinkable running water 2 DAYS A WEEK. ONLY 2 DAYS A WEEK.
Their only solution is bottled water. Except it cost twice as much as in mainland France and the stores are running out of bottled water the second they restock.
The administration (white people) is managing this like a bunch of fucking idiots and despite the low reserve they are still letting huge leaks of multiple liters of water happening in desalination factories.
At the same time the one and only natural lake of freshwater is dry.
France is letting it happen because it is not affecting white people. France is responsible they wanted to keep Mayotte for fishing then it’s their fucking job to make it so the population can live with dignity and access to basic needs like water. But they don’t care because the victims are Black and Muslims.

ok so i grew up with autism and adhd so obviously the new mythic quest episode hit home today so here are some thoughts
-young poppy’s actress (isla rose hall) was PHENOMENAL in terms of casting and acting and just generally replicating charlotte’s mannerisms? wth???
-also i love me some wasian representation yas
-the scene where ian was talking about how he’s dumb is just SO adhd. i feel that exact same way all the time. it’s tough to be the ‘wrong’ type of smart.
-his relationship with his mom is absolutely crushing, she seems so supportive at first and it’s like wow i would’ve loved to have a parent that encouraged my differences! but then it becomes clear that she’s probably bipolar, clearly neglectful etc and just OUCH
-how something so positive to ian becomes bad so fast
-also this is an ian’s date HATE CLUB. FUCK THAT MAN. also the casting and acting for ian’s dad was amazing and you can really see how ian kind of inherited his dad’s mannerisms.
-another thing that i related to a lot as a neurodiverse bitch was how poppy’s special interest in gaming was discouraged by her parents! when her dad asked her why she couldn’t put as much energy into practicing piano as she could into gaming, i was devastated! i was always told stuff like this as a kid: ‘if only you could put as much energy into schoolwork as you can into creative writing/dnd campaigns/analyzing tv shows/researching psychology’!
-poppy being autistic is so real and so important to me. she’s audhd fr. she doesn’t know what a joke is. her attempts to make a joke fail horribly. who needs friends when you have your special interest. god she’s so me
-and ian’s 2009 beard is shit

Spent a couple hours this morning on a very informative zoom with the vigneron from this place and although I had opened their two least expensive and most-distributed wines the past week, had not really acclimated myself with what was in the rest of the care-package. Sure enough, there’s a 100% Merlot in there and lord knows I love myself some Italian Merlot (and we’re not talking super-Tuscan…

Sometimes it feels like I shall never slake my thirst.
Parfois, j'ai l'impression que je n'étancherai jamais ma soif.

Some images from the multiple fires that hit the Karst region on the italo-slovenian border in the last week. Seven villages on both sides of the border have been evacuated, with more soon to follow as the fires continue to spread. Italian, Slovenian and Croatian firefighters are working together to contain the flames as much as possible, but the extreme draught in the last months and the windy conditions are not helping. Damages to the electrical cables already caused some blackouts in the province of Trieste...
