Oh, to achieve such levels of contentment. Not thinking about anything, just taking what's there, revelling in the moment.

Photographs from Alan Lomax’s “Southern Journey” a long series of recordings of various music such as blues, gospel, country, and spirituals from prisoners, recently freed slaves, poor southerners and largely black communities where these genres originated, this series became the first official stereo recordings of traditional african american southern folk music, celebrating generational heritage and the struggles of black life in the south at the time and impacted the creation and commercial spread of american music as we know it pioneering the “american” country sound, many of the singers, musicians and dancers present in these recordings and pictures are unnamed to this day.

happy juneteenth! if you have the time I really recommended taking a listen to some of these recordings to celebrate the voices of my ancestors and their music of resilience, especially as many of these clips are from after chattel slavery was abolished here in america and this series reflects the hope and newfound freedom black americans in the south were feeling as they looked towards the future

Juneteenth is about Black people who were officially technically supposed to be freed from enslavement. Nobody else. Nothing else. It's not a POC day. It's not a "freedom for all" day. It's Black folk, Black culture, Black emancipation, SPECIFICALLY. Any other observation for Juneteenth is gentrification.

[neshatriumphs]

Your Juneteenth reminder that just because they made it a "national holiday," it's still not. It's for the celebration of Black Americans being freed from slavery, finally.

It's from Texas. We been welcoming other descendants of the enslaved. But we close the gate and draw the line with "everybody."

[neshatriumphs]

Bringing this back on Juneteenth because making Black observations a national holiday didn't and doesn't end racism and the nonblacks are more insufferable than they have been in my lifetime about Black American people and our things.

Happy Juneteenth to those whose lives would not be actively free without the day happening. See the rest of you tomorrow.

the thing about misogyny is that nothing makes apparent how prevalent it is faster than just pointing out misogyny, which will have people scuttering out of the damn sewers like ninja turtles to accuse you of being an overly sensitive shit-stirring know-nothing who's making up things to be offended about. which is actually also pretty misogynistic, but if you point it out people will come scuttering out of the damn sewers—

CBC Gem has a section called Inuktitut where you can watch various media about Intuit peoples and their lives and experiences.

I highly recommend ANGAKUSAJAUJUQ (The Shaman's Apprentice) for Terror fans! It's a short animation about a girl who has been mentored by her grandmother to be a shaman. she faces her first test to help a young hunter who has fallen ill. The animation is so good and the story is very cute and obviously Silna-coded (if she had a happier story 😭).

I also recommend the episode Grape Soda in the Parking Lot of How to Lose Everything. The entirety of the show is a good watch on how colonialism has affected indigenous peoples across Canada, but Grape Soda in the Parking Lot was relatable to me personally, and because of that, sat with me for a long time. It's offered in English and in Inuktitut - I mention this as the episode is a short about the loss of language through colonialism - both Taqralik's father and grandmother lost their knowledge of Inuktitut and Scottish Gaelic (respectively) through English colonialism. The story hits close to home, as I am a child of a francophonie family whose cousins and second cousins are slowly losing our own language. It's not quite the same - French is an official language, has the backing of the Quebec nation to keep it alive. It is taught in schools and much more accessible for people to learn, even as adults. Inuktitut is easy to lose, especially how Taqralik's father lost it - having to leave home to be treated for tuberculosis, which is a common reason Inuit arrive in bigger towns and cities in Canada, because if they get seriously ill, their medical facilities are not equipped to treat them. It's a much bigger system that causes the loss than we really realize. There are places that offer Inuktitut language learning where I live now, but they are few and far in between, and sometimes are not financially accessible to people, despite grants and other supports.

Tonight I'll be watching One Day in the Life of Noah Piugattuk.

I hope you guys find time to check out some of these pieces, and maybe also check out Isuma.tv - a film production company and platform that showcases Inuit (and other indigenous community groups) stories and media.
