Please remember that "land back" does not mean "indigenous people are mystical elves with innate epigenetic wisdom of land stewardship and they don't belong in big cities," nor does it mean "non-indigenous people can't be farmers." What it DOES mean is that "non-indigenous farmers should be paying the equivalent of property taxes to the native governments their land was stolen from." It means, "there's a great deal of indigenous scholarship on sustainable agricultural practices that farmers should be taking into account, because indigenous agriculture was more advanced than European agriculture at the time Europe invaded the Americas and western agriculture *still* hasn't caught up in terms of figuring out how to produce equivalently high crop yields without compromising the ecosystem." It means, "non-indigenous farmers should be in an intellectual discourse with indigenous agricultural scientists and indigenous peoples that still do traditional farming, figuring how to repair the damage western farming practices have done to the ecosystem."

It also means that indigenous peoples should regain the right to sustain themselves on the land according to the practices they want, and they should have free reign to perform their cultural practices and protect their holy sites, as opposed to the current model where if they try to honor their dead on public lands they get violently removed.

"On each of the week’s eight days, the Midden King shares his Crown with a different sort of clown.

On Mondal one hears nothing but a high-pitched jingle, and Daedal asks for money more for wigs than for cannons. Wodensdal, alone, hides away its knowledge. Midweek tallies up the future and the past, crying as it breaks in laughter, and Thunor rains when it is golden. Friar’s Day sets the loophole and the trap, but Sabbath is for contemplation. Resurrection Day is a clean slate. The country’s laws are no more; they will all have to be rewritten."

Aeneid Daily: because to my knowledge no one’s done it yet, and if I can get even one more person to read the Aeneid, I’ll die happy!

In the fashion of Ovid Daily and e-pistulae, Aeneid Daily emails you Vergil’s greatest work in daily chunks of roughly 100 lines each. Each post will include the selected lines in English, as translated by A.S. Kline, as well as in Latin, as accessed from thelatinlibrary.com. I’ve also included some links to helpful resources for first-time readers, as I think knowledge of the poem’s historical and literary context really helps it come alive.

The newsletter is scheduled to start on June 1st, 2023, and run until the second week of September. Subscribe for boats, battles, bleeding bushes, journeys to the Underworld, women warriors, unspecified dirty activities in a cave, arms, men, and, of course, pietas.

experiencing the succ finale the way it was meant to be: through a series of seemingly fake and increasingly deranged messages in the group chat

It was mentioned in Una McCormack's "The Crimson Shadow" that Cardassians grew fond of coffee and I think it is totally true. Also so-called ikri buns were mentioned. But the catalyst for me to draw this picture, however, was a scene that my mother saw in the street: an ambulance stopped near ice-cream stand and two EMTs went there to buy ice-cream. We agreed that this certainly had Bashir & Parmak vibes and I got so inspired that literally next day drew THIS. The Cardassian version of ice-cream stand, but with buns and coffee. And I wonder what else do they sell in such stands... Any ideas on Cardassian street-food? :)
