Y’all gotta see this. I just fell down a research rabbit hole involving a 19th century children’s magazine published in the Ottoman Empire, the Fisk Jubilee Singers, and traditional black music. 🗃️ youtube.com/shorts/4BWQS...

I wonder how someone with so many advantages and so much privilege still manages to feel themselves oppressed, still imagines they are marginalized, still feels perpetually under siege by the world around them—a world that has always favored them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/an-open-le...

Roanoke College in Virgina recently dedicated a sculpture on its campus to memorialize the school's ties to slavery. Roanoke's study of its history is impressive and sobering, and much of the research was conducted by students. Great work & not easy at this moment. www.roanoke.edu/news/authors...

Another big win for local Tribal sovereignty. “Tribal citizens…after 350 years of being separated from their mother, the Rappahannock River, have unimpeded opportunities to practice life-sustaining traditions…Hunting, fishing, & ceremonies can resume on the lands where their ancestors are buried.”

Happy Bat Appreciation Day! The German word for a bat, Fledermaus, means “flutter mouse.” The Basque word, saguzar, means “old mouse.” And the Estonian word, nahkhiir, means “leather mouse.” But to me (and to anyone who’s seen the picture below) the correct term for bats will always be “sky puppies”

We have just received these beautiful scallop shells at the cathedral. They are from Orkney waters; cleaned, drilled and threaded by lovely volunteers Stuart, Corwen and Kate. You will receive one, along with a certificate, if you complete the St Magnus Way pilgrimage. Photo by Corwen.
