DECOLONIAL ACTION READING

I recently compiled these to add to a comrade’s post about Land Back, but actually I think they deserve their own post as well.

Amílcar Cabral - Return To The Source

Frantz Fanon - The Wretched Of The Earth

Hô Chí Minh - archive via Marxists.org

Thomas King - The Inconvenient Indian

Abdullah Öcalan - Women’s Revolution & Democratic Confederalism

Edward Said - The Question Of Palestine

Thomas Sankara - archive via Marxists.org

Eve Tuck & K. Wayne Yang - Decolonization Is Not A Metaphor

Other key names in postcolonial theory and its practical application include:

Sara Ahmed

Homi K. Bhabha

Aimé Césaire

Albert Memmi

Jean-Paul Sartre

Léopold Séder Senghor

Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak

All of these will help you interpret and confront the realities of colonisation, and ideally help us understand and extend solidarity to comrades around the globe. Decolonise your mind, and don't stop there!

The power of the redheads compels you.

Okie pokie, down here is where I talk stuff and why I have founders again. I had thoughts that turned into decisions to completely reboot my tree. Not like last time, but a complete redo. I wasn't happy with it, I changed rulings and again, was frustrated by the decisions of former me.

My trio of Daisy, Argus and Vivian remained. I switched Max for Thomas as I do honestly enjoy his challenge, and I want to get to it early. Charlie was a flip between him and Pitch, but I would honestly, like a small legacy that isn't a second pgc in this round. 😅

I know, I know, I am a messy kind of player, but heyo, it is my blog and my game. Some of these babies got minor tweaks, mainly the redheads got even more ginger, minus Charlie. He stayed the same. Argus and Daisy got a few new tweaks too.

So, long story short, all of my blog minus this and the favourites, oh and any random makes I did and if I had spouses made for me they are still around too, is non existent anymore,. I may post new kids, I may not, I will post whatever I feel like. Bye now.

Emmerdale 04.04.24 Part 3

Aaron returns from his appointment with Liam to find Ruby mid rant at Chas and his family as a mortified Caleb looks on, Ruby's feeling like she's in competition with them all for Caleb's love & affection, she's desperate, deranged & trying to fight for him.

Aaron listens bewildered as Ruby is going nuclear on his family, as Caleb tries to intervene and pull her away she lashes out at him & accidentally elbows Chas in the chest who hasn't even fully recovered from her double mastectomy surgery in the area yet.

As Chas is recovering from the elbow to the chest courtesy of Ruby, Aaron insists he's calling Liam to look over her, despite her protests as Caleb gives Ruby her marching orders.

Aaron is now helping look after the pub, while Charity is looking after his mum in the back after what happened earlier. Belle is upset about the 'break in' & Tom is comforting her, he bizarrely asks Aaron where Charity is as Aaron is getting him in a pint.

COYOTE GOES TO TORONTO // Thomas King

Coyote went to Toronto to become famous. It's TRUE that's what she said.

She walked up and down those FAMOUS streets. And she stood on those FAMOUS corners. Waiting.

But nothing happened.

so. Coyote got hungry and went into a restaurant to EAT.

But there was a long line and Coyote could see it was because the restaurant was painted a BEAUTIFUL green.

so. Coyote painted herself GREEN and she went back to the rez to show the people what an UP TO DATE Coyote she was.

And she STOOD on the rez and waited. So that RAIN came along. So that WIND came along. So that HAIL came along. So that SNOW came along.

And that PAINT began to peel and pretty soon the people came along and says, HEY, that's Coyote, by golly she's not looking too good.

And the women brought her FOOD. And the men brushed her COAT until it was shiney. And the children PLAYED with their friend.

I been to Toronto Coyote tells the people. Yes, everybody says, We can SEE that.

Spring/Summer 2022 Favourite Reads

More suggestions from my bookshelf. #summerfavourites #favouritebooks

Read my Spring/Summer 2022 Favourite Sounds here. Alfabet/Alphabet: A Memoir of a First Language by Sadiqa de Meijer Winner of the 2021 Governor General Literary Award for Non-fiction. Finding this book about the adjustment from Dutch language and culture to Canadian was somewhat serendipitous, since my father made the same journey a few years before I was born. De Meijer’s story offered me…

non-gotham locals think the most prolific bat-villain is the joker, or scarecrow, even the riddler — or any of their assorted highly dangerous deluded rogues.

but a real gothamite knows how big a pain in the ass condiment king is, in fact, urban legend says that the bat kids have formed a pact to not tell batman if condiment king just happens to turn up… at the bottom of gotham harbor.

The people of K'gari were known to be kind to shipwrecked mariners, but a few months after the raid they treated the survivors of the wreck of the Thomas King with unusual barbarity. William Henry Walsh put it down to a fresh spirit of revenge among the Butchulla.

Frequent allusions have been made to the extraordinary secresy of the result of that jaunt, and much surprise expressed at the profound silence maintained concerning their exploits, by this most heterogenous body of black hunters. True, now and then we receive little bits of information from Sydney, (of all places in the world), that rumours are afloat that the natives were driven into the sea, end there kept as long as daylight or life lasted.
