media list (15.01.2024 - 21.01.2024)

👂 Listened:

Albums:

The Truth About Love by Pink (2012) [6.5/10, kind of suffers from being too long - I loved all the songs in the first half, but barely any from the second half.]

Sorry For Partyin' by Bowling For Soup (2009) [6/10, fun album - though I think I liked this artist a lot more when I was younger.]

SOS by Sza (2022) [7/10, this album really grew on me as I listened to it - big fan of F2F and Nobody Gets Me.]

Podcasts:

RedHanded [Murder in Ulvila was my standout episode, just because of how the injustice felt so irreparable for those involved. And that's not even getting to the fact that it's unsolved.] Episodes: ⤷ EP 327: Murder in Ulvila ⤷ EP 326: Sarah Payne - Into Thin Air ⤷ EP 319: Lam Kor-wan - The Rainy Night Butcher

Morbid [Leonarda and The Bonebreaker case were the standouts to me this week - the former because of why she committed her crimes and how her upbringing and state of mind impacted her actions, and the latter because it related a lot to my question regarding minors being tried as adults.] Episodes: ⤷ EP 479: World's End Murders ⤷ EP 504: The Sauchie Poltergeist aka Wee Hughie ⤷ EP 505: Leonarda Cianculli - The Soap-Maker of Corregio ⤷ EP 476: Bobby Mackey's Music World ⤷ EP 465: The Devil Made Me Do It ⤷ EP 456: The Bonebreaker Case

National Park After Dark EP 196: The Slenderman Stabbing. Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. [This is the podcast episode that started me thinking about juvenile incarceration and had me doing this poll; it's also what inevitably got me doing more research into prison abolition. Really interesting episode.]

Ghost Story from Wondery [This one was intriguing, and I was super shocked to hear actual Hugh Dancy appear in it. It's absolutely what eventually led to me re-trying Hannibal, I just found him charming and smart and introspective and supportive - I would say the last episodes were a bit repetitive - especially with the psychic - but otherwise highly recommend.]

📖 Read:

Articles:

What About The Rapists and Murders? by Angel Parker from Medium [Article trying to formulate a response to the question of what should be done about people who commit violent crime should prison abolition take place - I found this article was not what you should read if you're truly looking for answers to this question. While I appreciate what the author is trying to do, in terms of highlighting the injustice that happens to those who are incarcerated, and the corruption that occurs within the penal system, it was a frustrating read for someone who was trying to learn more about the more practical aspects of prison abolition as a movement.]

NYC to pay $125K to woman who accused two NYPD cops of rape in last-minute civil suit settlement by John Annesse from Daily News

Should police officers be able to get away with having sex with detainees? from Daily Times [Has some good statistics about police who commit rape. "In 2015, after a year-long investigation, the Associated Press revealed that in the six-year period from 2009 to 2014, about 550 police officers had lost their badges for rape, sodomy and other types of sexual assault; and a further 440 for possession of child pornography and other sex crimes; or sexual misconduct such as propositioning citizens, sexting juveniles, or having consensual but prohibited sex while on duty."]

The Mysterious and Lonely Death of Joyce Vincent from Historic Mysteries

Books:

Luck In The Shadows by Lynn Flewelling [in progress, pretty much no progress since last week due to me being totally distracted by trying to read a 40 page article on prison abolition - that I still haven't finished!]

📺 Watched:

Television:

NBC Hannibal EP 1 & 2 [I wrote a post about this. I'm enjoying it so far. Incredibly dark, but also a lot of subtlety in the characters' dynamics! Definitely something to watch slowly.]

#prison abolition #true crime #media list #after the disappointing article on prison abolition i found one that explores of prison abolition and the question of violent crime #but its 40 pages and so ive had to read it slowly in order to take notes and etc #so that will probably show up in next year's list #as i continue to research prison abolition #i wonder if i should do a post on it when im done w everything #of course theres a lot theres writing from the 50s etc #its really fascinating and its so interesting to think that there was a time when people truly viewed prison as something that was temporar #and now its the default #✎ #list.

The New "Nicolet High School" - Article #001

by FoxWithAKeyboard / CosmicSoda

Written: 13th August 2022

A forest presumed to be haunted is perhaps the last place you would expect to find a school, however this isn’t the case for the Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin, USA.

The school opened some time within the past few weeks, with no permit authorising its construction. No scaffolding or construction of any kind was witnessed by wanderers or park rangers and it has proved quite difficult to navigate to.

It goes a mile off the marked paths and seems more as if it was messily placed in a shrouded area of trees rather than built due to the short time it took to appear.

The school has a metal fence surrounding, similar to that of a prison meant to protect those outside its walls. It’s constructed similarly to a run-down British primary school but slightly larger and more threatening. I doubt any child would set foot inside but then again I don’t see the world through the eyes of a 10 year old.

The school has a sign proudly placed in front of the metal bars proclaiming that they are “The Highest Rated High School in Wisconsin”. Because the school currently has no pupils this is bogus and a fraudulent attempt for students to enrol.

I asked my assistant Tye to monitor the building and he has some outlandish claims.

First off, he mentioned how there were “12 slender figures in suits with tentacles”. Perhaps that is his unflattering way of describing white Americans.

The “Playground” is a glorified cage with a basketball hoop and a wooden bench which “seems only big enough for 4 children.”

The rooms within are what make me the most fearful.

Most seem bland, the walls painted an off-white with a few tables and chairs. At the front of each, a blackboard with chalk. A whiteboard and pens would’ve been more appropriate given the times but it isn’t a major issue.

What shocked me however, was Tye’s description of what he called a “surgeons home”. He does exaggerate often but from the fear in his voice over the phone I think that this is mostly accurate.

There was a table with tools spread across it, laced in blood and uncleaned. If it had a hygiene rating it would be lower than 0.

There was a plastic operation table, with a gas mask (presumably for anaesthetics).

To the side, by the refrigerator, were mini coolers that looked more like bland lunch boxes.

I wish for the best when this school opens in the coming weeks, and I pray my fears aren’t confirmed.

Dear readers, keep your eyes peeled for any suspicious activity in the Nicolet Forest area.

Camping

My father's (and my) first camping trip was in a large canvas tent, in Nicolet National Forest in northern Wisconsin. A heavy rain was predicted and Clyde and Marge tightened the guy ropes - a mistake as they were to find out. The accumulation of rain caused the already tight ropes to pull out of the wet ground causing the canvas to sag on both ends. Clyde and Marge were doused when the ropes on their end gave way and the canvas collapsed from the weight of the accumulated water.

They knew the tent at the other end where the children slept was about to do the same thing so they got up and went outside. Did I mention they slept in the nude? So there they were crawling around outside the tent attempting to drain the water off the top of the tent over their girls. They managed to get it fixed up enough to allow them to go back to bed. By the time they came back into the tent, they were covered in mud and leaves and soaked but they went back to bed anyway.

In the morning, my mother got up early and, after putting on her clothing, went out to see the damage. Since they had been unable to pound in new stakes during the night, they tied the ropes to the nearest trees. When my mother saw the tent in it's comical glory, she laughed out loud. My father followed her out to see what she was laughing at and joined in. They took a photo of the tent, and for years we couldn't identify what the slide was until my mother pointed to the rope tied to a tree.

This trip was in 1955 and I wasn't quite 5. Everything was new and fun. The only bad thing about the trip was that I couldn't stay and play in the water for very long. After about 20 minutes in the water, my lips would turn blue and they made me get out. I hated it.

I remember my dad got up really early and went out fishing, and brought back trout which my mother cooked for breakfast. 68 years later, I can still smell and taste how wonderful it was.

I got lost in the national forest for like 4 hours yesterday with a dead phone and I was eventually able to find a road and make my way back but apparently I wandered past some guy's trail camera and he's sending all the photos of me being lost as shit to the guy who's cabin we're staying at.
