The 1985 MOVE bombing, locally known by its date, May 13, 1985, was the destruction of residential homes in the Cobbs Creek neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, by the Philadelphia Police Department during a standoff with MOVE, a black liberation organization. Philadelphia police dropped two explosive devices from a helicopter onto the roof of a house occupied by MOVE. The Philadelphia Fire Department allowed the resulting fire to burn out of control, destroying 61 previously evacuated neighboring homes over two city blocks and leaving 250 people homeless. Six adults and five children were killed in the attack, with one adult and one child surviving. A lawsuit in federal court found that the city used excessive force and violated constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure.

Today in the 13th door a little beauty that is often forgotten. Once built in India, she is now the oldest English frigate still afloat. We are talking about HMS Trincomalee

HMS Trincomalee

More infos about her here:

Laid down in Honourable East India Company's shipyard in Bombay in 1816, together with her sister ship HMS AMPHIRITE and launched on 12 October 1817, TRINCOMALEE was one of 47, 38-gun Leda class frigates built between 1800 and 1830. Nearly all of them were of oak, but the two Bombay ships were made of Malabar teak.

Her building had been delayed by the plans being lost on HMS JAVA which was sunk by USS CONSTITUTION, a second set of plans not arriving in India until two years later.

When TRINCOMLAEE reached Britain in 1819, she went straight into 'ordinary' for 26 years in Portsmouth harbour. In 1845 she was commissioned for service in areas which lacked adequate coaling stations for the new steam vessels. Her stern was modified to an elliptical style, and she was reclassified as a 26-gun Corvette. In 1847 she served in the West Indies and then in the Eastern Campaign of the Crimean War. After patrols in the Pacific she was again paid off into ordinary in 1857. Three years later she became a Drill Ship for Royal Naval Volunteers. Between 1860 and 1897 she was moored, mast-less and with deckhouses in Sunderland then West Hartlepool and finally in Southampton. She was sold to shipbreakers in 1897.

The philanthropist G Wheatly Cobb bought HMS TRINCOMLAEE to replace the training ship FOUDROYANT which had foundered two years earlier on its way to take up a similar role, and renamed the ship FOUDROYANT. She was moored in Falmouth and later at Milford Haven and finally at Portsmouth. On Cobb's death on 1932 she was managed by the IMPLACABLE Committee of the Society for Nautical Research.

During the war the vessel was taken over for the training of Sea Cadets. In 1947 she was given back to her owners and became an adventure training base for Sea Cadets, Sea rangers, Sea Scouts and other youth groups. From 1957 to 1987 she was moored at the entrance to Haslar Creek, Portsmouth. The Foudroyant Trust later moved her further north to avoid her being rammed by submarines. Training was discontinued due to the poor state of the ship and insufficient trainees. In 1987 the Foudroyant Trust transferred the ship to Hartlepool where a private yard had just paid off after restoring HMS WARRIOR 1860. In 1990 the Trincomalee was restored under the Trincomalee Trust. In 2016 the National Museum of the Royal Navy took responsibility for oversight of Trincomalee.

Throwback Thursday

Today I drew John Africa for today's theme.Which is MOVE Bombing.When members would greet each other they would say 'on the MOVE.' The MOVE organization spoke about racial and environmental injustice on street corners and protested in front of numerous organizations throughout the city of Philadelphia. And euring these protests members were more often than not arrested and jailed.In March on 1976. while seven MOVE members were returning home from jail, police were called to their residence claiming they were responding to a disturbance of peace complaint. A fight ensued and while MOVE member Janine was trying to protect her husband Phil from being beaten by police, she was GRABBED and THROWN to the ground while clutching her three-week-old baby, Life Africa, in her arms. Janine was stomped on by police until she was nearly unconscious and the baby didn't survive...and the worst part is no officer was ever charged with any crime (So apparently murder,assault and hate crime are not crimes when THEY did it? What the actual f@#k).MOVE members reorganized and moved to 6221 Osage Avenue in 1981. The house was a fortress, fortified with bunkers inside and on the roof. They continued to stage protests and broadcast their messages day and night by bullhorn from the rooftop bunker. Numerous complaints of disturbing the peace, unsafe living conditions, and child endangerment were filed against MOVE from neighbors and federal agencies. Several previous attempts at removal were met with violence by MOVE members. The city subsequently cut off water and power to the home and stopped picking up their trash, heightening tensions with the organization.On May 13, 1985, city officials sent police to serve arrest warrants, with orders to carry out by extreme force. Nearby local residents were told to evacuate but could return to their homes the following day. Nearly 500 officers in SWAT gear, backed by heavy artillery and an anti-tank machine gun, surrounded the block. A shot fired from inside the MOVE residence was met by a volley of over 10,000 rounds in 90 minutes all shot into the home.5 fire trucks pumped gallons of water through the basement (if you're wondering why they pumped water in there it's because the MOVE members were hiding there...WITH CHILDREN) and tear gas was thrown into the windows of the home. SWAT teams tried to blast holes in the walls of adjoining houses to gain entry. MOVE membersk were holding the children up in the air to avoid drowning in rising waters. The all-day standoff led to the city dropping a C-4 bomb on the rooftop of the home. The bunker did not fall, but the roof of the home was engulfed in flames. 65 neighborhood homes were destroyed and over 200 residents lost their homes.11 MOVE members, including John Africa and 5 children were killed. One adult, Ramona, and one child, Birdie (13 years old), survived the bombing but were severely burned. Ramona was convicted of conspiracy and jailed for seven years. She later sued the city and was awarded a $1.5 million settlement in 1996.Several articles, books, and two documentaries, The Bombing of Osage Avenue (1986) and Let the Fire Burn (2013), have been produced about the incident. In 2017, a historical marker was erected on the corner of Osage and Cobbs Creek Parkway, by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. Plans for redevelopment by city officials and private companies have failed, and the destroyed homes remained boarded up.

pumpkin and bonfire 🎤 also i’m kissing your forehead so gently ily

i love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am squeezing you until you splode!!!!!

pumpkin: so here's the thing!! you'd think being a First Responder™ i would've become old and jaded but the opposite happened!! i don't think anyone is bad. i think people suffer greatly and we don't always make decisions that are necessarily in line with our own integrity. i think people make decisions when their backs are against the wall and out of everything i've seen, no matter how horrific it's been, my take away has always been that that person is suffering and needs help. as it turns out all of the clients that traumatized the fuck out of me have made me a better person. what doesn't kill you ig

bonfire: oooookay so i have this plan to build a cobb house. it'll be two bedrooms one bath with old wooden floors that i source from old abandoned houses and the walls will have handpainted tiles on them from the old mountain grannies that i am slowly befriending. i'll have a garden and a few chickens and it'll have a creek out back that i can swim in

There are essential decolonial texts in the Decolonization folder, so look through them as well. I haven't read Guillaume Blanc and Hamza Hamouchene's books on Green Colonialism myself but the subject is a fascinating look at the ties between environmentalism and white supremacy and how Landback is tied to climate justice.

You can find The Schumacher Lectures here and buy The Ice Is Melting by Oren Lyons for USD 0.99.

As always, do try and support the authors if you have the resources to do so.
