J'ai reçu le roman graphique "Tout le bleu du ciel", d'après le roman de Melissa da Costa, pour mon anniversaire. Grosse bd format A4, de 200 pages, avec des belles illustrations.

Je viens de la terminer. C'est une histoire pleine de bons sentiments, deux personnes cabossées par la vie, qui se rencontrent et font un bout de chemin ensemble. Emile a 25 ans, Alzheimer précoce, n'en n'a plus que pour deux ans à vivre et ne veut pas que sa famille le voit dépérir, ni ne lui impose de rester hospitalisé pour des tests sur les effets d'hypothétiques traitements médicamenteux, il passe une annonce pour partir en camping-car avec un ou une partenaire de voyage, et rendre son dernier souffle dans les montagnes. Il rencontre Joanne, qui reste mystérieuse, on apprend son histoire petit à petit, en même temps que lui. C'est l'alchimie entre eux, ils respectent chacun la bulle de l'autre et évidemment le voyage ne sera pas de tout repos.

C'est du feel good à plein poumons, mais avec des petites touches de réflexion sur la maladie, le deuil, le respect des dernières volontés, la perte d'un enfant, le retour en enfance lorsque le cerveau se vide.

Je suis un peu émue dès que je pense à la maladie d'Alzheimer, quand j'avais 19 ans j'ai vu ma grand-mère s'éteindre à petit feu, touchée par cette horrible maladie. Vendredi, j'étais au téléphone avec ma maman, elle a 70 ans cette année, et j'ai remarqué qu'elle cherchait un peu + certains mots, pourtant assez usuels. Sûrement juste de la fatigue, parce que 5 ans après une triple opération cardiaque pendant laquelle elle a bien failli y rester, elle est hyper active toute la semaine mais surtout le vendredi, elle a commencé cette année des cours de dentelle, ça lui demande 4h de concentration assez soutenue, dans une position pas top mais "ça va, je vais aux toilettes handicapés pour faire des étirements, le fais le chat-vache comme la kiné a dit et ça passe". Mais je vais rester attentive à certains signes qu'on peut retrouver dans le langage. C'est un truc qui m'angoisse très fort, la gestion de la fin de vie.

Mon père est décédé à 41 ans, il était en vie et puis il ne l'était plus. Entre les deux, il y a eu une journée de douleurs à la poitrine que cette abrutie de médecin de garde a pris pour une oesophagite. Je crois que je savais que c'était son cœur et je m'en veux encore de n'avoir eu que 16 ans à l'époque et pas suffisamment d'assurance pour aller à l'encontre d'un avis médical.

Mais ça se passe comment quand ça tire en longueur, quand les personnes qu'on aime ne sont plus elles-mêmes, comprennent leur état et en souffrent ?

Finalement le seul truc qui me rassure un peu c'est redevenir l'enfant qui subsiste en chacun de nous jusqu'à la fin, et offrir à nos aînés l'amour et la bienveillance dans les soins. Peut-être l'occasion de leur offrir aussi du temps et de rencontrer l'enfant qu'ils étaient autrefois.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ mais les illustrations font une grosse partie du boulot, pcq l'histoire ne m'a pas transportée, c'est un peu trop feel good à mon goût, je suis une vieille aigrie. J'ai néanmoins apprécié ce moment chill et apparemment ce roman est un must read pour les amatrices et amateurs du genre. Puis ça a permis de parler de la fin de vie, tiens d'ailleurs j'avais réfléchi récemment aux limites du deuil, je ferais bien un billet là dessus à l'occasion, pour l'ambiance.

Fundraiser for Jamaica WNT ⚽️

Help the Reggae Girlz' preparation for the Women's World Cup

Note: this GoFundMe link was shared by Jamaica WNT player Cheyna Matthews on Twitter

From the players:

From the GoFundMe link:

Hi my name is Sandra Lee Phillips (Solaun) I am the proud mother of Havana Solaun who plays for the Jamaican Reggae Girlz National Team. The 2019 Women's World Cup in France represented a ground breaking entry for the small Caribbean island onto an international platform. Their maiden voyage into the competitive arena proved the Jamaican girls are a talented athletic force that had risen to the highest level of soccer. Fast forward to 2022 - Mexico - World Cup Australia Qualifiers. Once again the Reggae Girlz "Rise Up" to beat Mexico, Haiti and Costa Rica and qualify for the Australia World Cup - July/August of 2023. The Reggae Girlz success has been supported by the talented entourage of staff members consisting of coaches, therapists and doctors who spend endless hours ensuring the Girlz are well taken care of. The journey to Australia in July of 2023 is a costly endeavor and it is my intention to to allow both staff and players to focus on the competition by helping raise funds to cover some of the expenses incurred on this incredible adventure Down Under. I sit on the sidelines, a proud Jamaican, an even prouder mother of one of these strong independent professional women who represent their country for pride and love of soccer. I'd like to show our support by raising money to show our appreciation for staff and players for the amazing job they do in representing the country of Jamaica at the highest level. I'm reaching out to ALL Jamaicans, those residing on the beautiful island I call home, to the Jamaicans residing overseas whose love for their country remains strong and deep, to all the soccer enthusiasts who love the power of a Cinderella story, to all women who know the fight for equality continues. Let's band together and Rise Up to support the Reggae Girlz and staff who continue to make Jamaica proud. "Out of Many One People."

Most likely to get addicted to hard drugs

Osaka, on a fluke. She doesn’t even know that she’s Taking drugs until it’s too late

Most likely to be a billionaire

Chiyo

Most likely to go insane

Lets just pretend yukari doesn’t exist ok. I think it would be sakaki. She never gets to pet a cat and the grief drives her Fycking Insane……

Funniest

Osaka

Most likely to get run over

Chiyo

Most likely to disappear and never come back

So obviously it’d be Osaka but I’d like to entertain the idea that it’d be tomo. She gets lost on the school trip and gets deserted in the jungle. Worst part is no one notices until they’re all back home. “Yknow, everything feels so peaceful right now! I wonder what changed?..”

Here’s the Osaka version: they all graduate and go to university and stuff and Osaka tries but drops out like a month in. She starts a part time minimum wage job but also does odd jobs on the side. These odd jobs tend to be Really odd though and everyone’s mildly concerned when she talks about it. Then one day she just disappears and no one ever sees her again. This is entirely unrelated to the odd jobs, she accidentally boarded a cargo ship and gets sent to Costa Rica. The crew discovers her on the ship and she doesn’t have the money to pay for the voyage so she has to work for them. This sparks her new life of being a wandering vagrant. She returns to japan when she’s old and chiyo is her assistant nurse

The coolest

Sakaki

Who would kill first in a lord of the flies type of situation

So we all know the victim would be chiyo, but I do NOT think tomo would kill. She is too much of a coward. No, it would be kaorin. on accident! Chiyo was standing behind her on a cliff and she bumped into her…. They’re all practically starving on this island so they eat her. THEN I think tomo would develop the capacity to kill

Cutest

Chiyo

Hispanic Day

Hispanic Day is celebrated every October 12 to mark Christopher Columbus’ first landfall in the Americas. Did you know that Columbus was seeking a direct route to Asia when he discovered the Americas? Spain Hispanic Day, also known as Fiesta Nacional de España or Día de la Hispanidad, is an official holiday in most Hispanic America under different names. All government administrative buildings and offices, banks, and stores are closed for the day. The day shines a light on Spanish identity and heritage — the bond between the old European country and Spanish-speaking Latin America. Learn about the historical significance of this day in Spain.

History of Hispanic Day

Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the Americas significantly changed the continent and Europe, making Spain the first modern superpower and shaping the Americas’ ethnic, cultural, and political landscapes. Columbus’ first voyage to the New World began on the evening of August 3, 1492. He left the harbor of Palos de la Frontera with three ships: Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Niña, with Christopher Columbus traveling on the first ship.

On October 12, 1492, the crew on the Pinta sighted land and informed Columbus. Then, Columbus and his men landed on an island and were received by the indigenous Arawak people. He later named the island San Salvador, though it was called Guanahani by the locals. He also referred to the indigenous people as Los Indios, creating a generalized term that will be used to describe the indigenous people of North, Central, and South America.

Columbus later continued his voyage, exploring northeast of Cuba and the northern coast of Hispaniola. In December of that year, Columbus founded the settlement of La Navidad in present-day Haiti and left 39 men there, after the permission of the local chief. On March 15, 1493, Columbus arrived in Spain with native prisoners. His discoveries were received with great celebration and quickly spread across Europe.

On September 24, 1493, Columbus set sail for the New World with 17 ships and about 1,500 men. During this voyage, he encountered the islands of Dominica, Maria-Galante, Montserrat, Antigua, the Virgin Islands, and more. In November 1493, he returned to Hispaniola and established a temporary settlement in La Isabela, present-day Dominican Republic.

The Spanish settlers soon introduced the encomienda system, where indigenous people provided labor for the Spaniards in return for food, shelter, and protection. That, along with the introduction of European diseases and the exportation of enslaved locals, led to a drastic reduction in the indigenous population.

Columbus set sail again on May 30, 1498, locating the regions of modern-day Central and South America. In 1499, Columbus was accused of tyranny and corruption. He and his brother were arrested, shipped to Spain, and spent six weeks in jail. The Columbus brothers were later absolved of all charges by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella and got sponsored for their fourth voyage to the New World.

On May 9, 1502, Columbus returned to the Americas with a fleet of 30 ships, but only one made it back to Spain. During this voyage, Columbus explored the coasts of Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. However, he was impeded by a storm and shipwrecked in Jamaica, where they remained stranded for six months. In a desperate attempt to induce the natives to keep providing for him and his men, Columbus used the lunar eclipse of February 29, 1504, to scare them. He accurately predicted the event using Abraham Zacuto’s astronomical charts. On June 28, 1504, he and his men were rescued, and they arrived in Spain on November 7, 1504.

Spain’s National Day today is a celebration of the country’s heritage. The day is an homage to over 400 million people across continents united by a common language, history, and culture. The quintessential Spanish lifestyle is fully displayed – concerts, street shows, dance, people in regional costumes, and excellent food and wine. The National Day of Spain has faced many changes throughout the 20th Century, but many still regard it as one of the most important days in Spanish history.
