Durant el confinament i passada la urgència d les primeres setmanes, vaig decidir q aquell tancament només podria sobreviure si consumia molta cultura (i, és clar, feia pa). Així doncs,per a mi,el confinament va anar lligat a molt teatre, molts concerts en viu i moltes sèries 🎥
També vaig decidir q ja n'hi havia prou d testosterona audiovisual i q calia cercar (sí, cal fer-ho pq no està massa accessible) productes q estiguéssin protagonitzats, escrits, dirigits i/o produïts x dones. Vaig tard però aquí va la llista d sèries q vaig veure aquell temps 🎥
Segurament no vagi per ordre però tant se val. Som-hi amb aquest "cabdell": Com que havia vist "Crashing" vaig decidir començar per "Fleabag". Escrita i interpretada per la premiada Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Crec que segurament ja la coneixeu i no cal dir res més 🎥

THREAD: In 1935, as Ethiopia braced for a war with Fascist Italy, African Americans from Harlem to Chicago and beyond rose in support of the African nation.

#BlackHistoryMonth #Ethiopia #WWII #Italy #Fascism
In 1935, Black people in a segregated and racist America saw Ethiopia's struggle for independence as symbolic of the larger fight against oppression. They saw the upcoming war as an extension of bigger struggle.
There were sites in cities like Harlem and Chicago where people could register to go to Ethiopia and join the army or provide medical and other services.

At around 4am, someone kept buzzing & buzzing the intercom. Everyone was at home so we ignored it.Then we heard heavy steps in the building. I found out just now that it was the police trying to get onto the roof. Apparently, their “gun detection” system was triggered in our area
I am just now hearing about “ShopStopper.” This combined with cameras I keep noticing on so many streets is pure what the fuck police fuckery. #NYC

NYPD will expand gun detection program called ShotSpotter to cover more parts of the city. h/t @rerutled

That article is about NYPD using ShotStopper in #Harlem, where I live.

So basically, there are microphones on rooftops, on light poles, etc, that pick up and record sound and send it to a server. WTF

@Ls_Madriles @Salvemos4C @metro_madrid @verdechamberi @cristinazaragoz @PlataformaZN @sevegi @EeAmadrid No hace falta apostar; es fácil comprobarlo. Igual que verificar lo de los 88.321.000 € + IVA que @MetropolitanSOS pagará (en efectivo y especie) por la parte del recinto adjudicada. @metro_madrid retiene el suelo de las instalaciones que debe modernizar boe.es/diario_boe/txt…
@Ls_Madriles @Salvemos4C @metro_madrid @verdechamberi @cristinazaragoz @PlataformaZN @sevegi @EeAmadrid @MetropolitanSOS Un fotógrafo histórico puede averiguar que el primer edificio de @ElPorvenir_cole fue encargado por Federico Fliedner en 1894 para servir también como residencia y centro de culto de la @IgCristoMad_IEE. Esto llegó después del buscado permiso gubernativo de enero de 1912
@Ls_Madriles @Salvemos4C @metro_madrid @verdechamberi @cristinazaragoz @PlataformaZN @sevegi @EeAmadrid @MetropolitanSOS @ElPorvenir_cole @IgCristoMad_IEE En los 60 sólo se usaba oficialmente como iglesia. ¿Un conocimiento propio de eruditos? ¿De vecinos del barrio que no veían allí movimiento entre semana? Para algunos mayores de #Chamberí (mi caso), ese edificio era una iglesia evangélica cercana a la católica; no un colegio

@jnlamstudies Forum, “#Shakespeare and #Black America” before the 2020 print publication if you have access to the
@CambridgeCore platform. Just in time for our #RaceB4Race discussions on appropriation! Buckle up--Tweetstorm a' comin' #LitPOC #MedievalTwitter
2/ These essays are short and, not just accessible, but actually enjoyable (IMHO). I’m always tweeting stuff for you to check out, but this time you don’t have to listen to just me. (Although y'all most def should listen to me) + #ShakeRace #RaceB4Race #LitPOC
3/ Look at this referee comment. Now you KNOW you need to read these if you are interested in #appropriation #pedagogy #theater #Activism #archives #BlackHistory! Thanks generous and insightful reviewer!! #ShakeRace #RaceB4Race #LitPOC #ShaxCultApp

#SesameStreet is 50!
Its set is based on a typical #Harlem #brownstone neighborhood. #Brownstones are a type of townhouse that are mainly brick but have #sandstone facades. They became popular in the 1800s and today are an iconic image of #NewYork.
#nspoli #NovaScotia #mining #ns ImageImage
The stone was mainly provided by the #Portland #Brownstone #Quarry which operated for 300 years until it closed in 2012. It was on the #ConnecticutRiver which made shipping easy.
Portland is named for Portland #England, a place famous for its quarries.
#nspoli #mining #NS #mining Image
Steam-powered machines in the 1800s allowed the #sandstone to be cut and shaped faster and more cheaply than ever before, making it affordable - significantly cheaper than stones like #granite or #marble. The stone is pink when cut but turns brown as it weathers.
