The Mysterious Matriarch: Olivia James

My paternal second great-grandmother Olivia James was most likely born in Scioto County, Ohio in 1832. She’s also referred to as Lavina in records. It’s hard to tell if that was her name or if it’s a mishearing of Olivia. Her parents were likely Daniel James and Ruth Nichols, though in over a decade of researching, I’ve still never found any documentation explicitly listing any of Olivia’s…

i've been reading a lot about fundamental differences between homer and tragedy and one interesting thing is the preoccupation of tragedy with the conflicts of women's loyalties to their natal and marital families, which manifests in so many tragedies putting women in situations where they are forced to choose sides in conflicts between their husbands/fathers/brothers/sons (eg medea chooses her husband over her father and brother, antigone chooses her brother over her future husband and potential children, procne chooses her sister and father over her husband and son, creusa remains dedicated to her father and his lineage instead of her husband and his). women are supposed to forge chains between men by their marriages and tragedies are so often interested in what happens to those connecting links when things go sour.

and that's just totally absent in homer, there's never any tension between icarius and odysseus or between eetion and the house of priam or between autolycus and laertes or between tyndareus and either paris or menelaus and agamemnon. most of the time either father-in-law or son-in-law is totally absent from the narrative. there's nothing that would put a woman in the position of mediating between the family she was born into and the family she married into.

but you know who in homer does experience this tension between loyalty to natal and marital families? hector. in iliad 6 andromache begs him to adopt a more defensive strategy because she and their son will be totally lost if he dies, and hector speaks of having to fight for his father's glory and his own. andromache and astyanax will suffer if hector dies well and bravely fighting for a lost cause, but priam will benefit. hector even acknowledges that after troy's fall it will be andromache who suffers most, not priam or hecuba-- for them the memory of hector's glory will be a consolation, while for her it will only be more pain. hector is torn between his father and his wife, the family he was born into and the family he has created through marriage.

How did he know about that imperial law indeed....

But that's just me. He could have learnt by law lessons when he was young since the Grand Duke and all that.

Bound By Endogamy - s/t LP - synth-punk from Switzerland

Geneva-based duo Bound By Endogamy delivers a heavy blend of rave, synth-punk, and industrial music. Shlomo Balexert and Kleio Thomaïdes are both prominent figures in the local squat and punk scene, having been involved in numerous projects over the past decade. Following several cassette releases and a remarkable debut 7'' on Lux Records, the band presents a self-titled album that combines raw, growling basslines, crisp analog rhythms, and passionate vocals ranging from breathy to fiercely cutting. On stage, the project consists of drums, a sampler, and vocals. Shlomo handles the drums alongside sharp synthesizers, while Kleio delivers powerful vocals reminiscent of a professional boxer. Expect a fusion of DAF and Kleenex with a hardcore edge. Junktion Rivers was previously released on LUX REC :)

i think they watered down the levels of insanity and carnage that makes blood and cheese such an important part of the dance by completely deleting maegor out of the story and not making helaena choose to then kill the one she supposedly "loved more", don't get why they did that at all but hey i try my best to watch hotd like it's a fic with a budget so i clap and nod when i like something or sigh, shake my head and move on when it doesn't make any sense

The Move Killed Him: Josiah James

My paternal second great-grandfather Josiah James was born in Kentucky most likely in 1828. All signs point to his family living in either Greenup or Lewis County, Kentucky, across the Ohio River from Portsmouth, Ohio. He was likely born to Jacob James and Jacob’s first wife, name unknown. Josiah was probably born while his family migrated from Bedford County, Virginia, through the Cumberland…

it’s so interesting how Cersei and Rhaenyra having illegitimate kids is both a form of reproductive and sexual agency - and cultural norm breaking. Rhaenyra has children with a non-Valyrian knight - an exogamous affair when Targaryens practice extreme endogamy. Cersei does the inverse and has children with her twin brother. even though Criston’s the main Jamie foil, you can find parallels between Harwin and Jamie - martially talented; known for physical attributes; nonexistent or minimal relationship with their kids; disabled younger brothers who have greater significance in the story; dysfunctional families - there’s no way Harrenhal, a dead mom and two dead stepmoms produces normal childhoods. That’s to say I would eat dirt for a Harwin Strong POV short story - or flashback episodes ffs.

Endogamy Marriage and It's advantages and disadvantages

A. Concepts of Endogamy : Endogamy is the form of marriage in which one must marry within one’s own caste or other group. This rule does not permit marriage of close kin. Endogamous marriage is that which is confined within the group. As a matter of fact, endogamy and exogamy are relative words. That which is endogamous from one viewpoint is exogamous from another viewpoint. In the sub-caste…

One under-discussed conclusion that must be drawn from the period of student encampments last spring is the absolute necessity of linking the student movement(s) with the worker's movement. They were always limited in the realistic achievements they could reach -getting universities to divest from Israeli institutions and companies- and very often also limited in the stated scope of each encampment. This is the manifestation of two problems; the excessive fragmentation and localism which plagues student movements in the imperial core, and the comparmentalization away from the broader worker's movement.

Focusing on the second aspect, students are not a separate class of people with separate interests. They are the children of the working class, many of them forced to work while studying, and all of them conditioned by the functions of higher education within capitalism; to create the hyperspecialiced educated workers demanded by capital, and to ensure the reproduction of the dominant ideology. The only substantial differenciation of students from the rest of their class is the distinct forms of socialization, receptiveness, and in general, the organization of their day-to-day lives. From this reality it would then follow the understanding that specific student organizations are useful and often necessary, but only if it is also understood that it's just a secondary (but also important) action inside the broader stage of worker's organization

If there had been a unified student movement capable of striking with a single fist that also understood its connection with their own class, the encampments could have been framed within a bigger and much more effective course of action. The negotiations and pressure for specific divestments would not have been the end-all-be-all of political achievement, but another facet in the internationalist struggle against genocidal settler-colonialism. Instead of drowning in the shallow pool of its own endogamy and being severely subjected to the comings and goings of student mobilization cycles, it could have supported itself on the more stable (although not free from cycles) workers' movement as well as being an occasional crutch for it.
