logging in and seeing the yoi movie officially cancelled lowkey got a chuckle out of me

And I'm not going to lie it became very clear to me after Nationals that USFS was all in on writing Isabeau off in favor of Amber; with the marketing, promo, discussion, etc.

Never mind that Isabeau had a much better season than Amber before Nationals (indisputably, she literally made the GPF). Never mind that AVA and LINDSAY also had a much better season before Nationals (and Ava continued that at 4CC, although Lindsay, who was injured, unfortunately could not). Never mind that Josephine Lee outskated Amber at Nationals anyway. They were deadset on that.

So I was also really glad Isabeau could prove USFS wrong.

Those three spots next year should, imo, probably be going to Isabeau, Ava, and Alysa.*

*We don't know how Alysa is going to be upon her comeback, but if she's at all the skater she was when she retired, she will certainly deserve one. I could see a really exciting rivalry developing between Alysa and Isabeau.

Replaying Age of Calamity again after TotK and ugh, man, while AoC isnt at all my favorite game I forgot how much fun it was to play.

I’m feeling inspired to continue working on my FS/BotW au after this too, I have a fic ive been making for it thats about two chapters done so far. I had stopped working on it after convincing myself that people wouldnt care about more BotW au stories after TotK but I’ve decided that I actually don’t care and will make what I want

The 2017 CHIPS remake wasn't good perse, but the roles of Vincent D'Onofrio and the actor who played the son,,,, interesting

I haven't seen that one so I can't comment. We like interesting relationships around here! Thanks for the heads up.

I saw your post in the thread about the Budj Bim creation myth, and you mentioned that you teach Ancient Civilizations and have a week on Australia and the Torres Strait Islands. I was wondering if you have any recorded lectures on this topic that are available anywhere online?

Or do you have any recommendations for freely available resources to learn more?

Hi there,

I'm so glad you're interested in this (and also so sorry it took me this long to answer)! I'm also tagging @four-ravens-in-a-trenchcoat because you sent a very similar ask.

I'm far from the expert, so I'm going to tag @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist who are both Australian archaeologists with far more knowledge than I. The lessons I've developed have been with their expertise as guidance.

I'll start out by linking to a short piece about Budj Bim and its eel traps being designated as a world heritage site and why that's important:

This page talks a little bit more about the eel traps, the creation story, and the Gunditjmara people who live there:

Unfortunately, I don't record my lectures, and sharing them would probably violate some privacy laws. I can, however, share the readings I give my students.

The week is broken into two class periods, and for each session I ask students to read one scholarly piece and one more pop culture one. The readings for the first part are:

Nunn, Patrick. 2018. “Australian Aboriginal Memories of Coastal Drowning.” In The Edge of Memory: Ancient Stories, Oral Tradition and the Post-Glacial World, 63–107. Bloomsbury Sigma. Clarkson, Chris, Ben Marwick, Lynley Wallis, Richard Law Kelaham Fullagar, and Zenobia Jacobs. 2017. “Buried Tools and Pigments Tell a New History of Humans in Australia for 65,000 Years.” The Conversation, July 19, 2017. https://theconversation.com/buried-tools-and-pigments-tell-a-new-history-of-humans-in-australia-for-65-000-years-81021.

and then for the second class:

Taçon, Paul S. C., Rosalie S. Chapple, John Merson, Daniel Ramp, Wayne Brennan, Graham King, and Alandra Tasire. 2010. “Aboriginal Rock Art Depictions of Fauna: What Can They Tell Us about the Natural History of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area?" https://doi.org/10.7882/FS.2010.008. Smithsonian Magazine. 2019. “A 42,000-Year-Old Man Finally Goes Home,” September 2019. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/mungo-man-finally-goes-home-180972835/.

The important part of this unit is that it comes right after we learn about the four classic river valley civilizations (Mesopotamia, the Indus, China, and Egypt). These "Big 4" all fit the description of the article I have them read at the very beginning of the class about the Key Components of Civilizations.

Australia week is about challenging that definition of civilization by examining where it came from, how it was developed, and who it excludes. At the end of the week I have students come up with another definition of Civilization that does not exclude Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, Indigenous groups in North and South America, nomadic groups, etc.

The book (The Edge of Memory) by Patrick Nunn is a good one (for this class we only read the third chapter, but the entire book is worth a read.

Decolonizing Research Indigenous Storywork as Methodology is an edited volume that features perspectives on oral history from Indigenous people all over the world, including Australia.

Cheers, -Reid
