Book 19 of the 50 book challenge. Wake: the hidden history of women led slave revolts by Rebecca Hall. It’s a memoir in graphic novel form. It’s really upsetting but everybody needs to read this. Women who led slave revolts don’t have their names attached so nobody really knows their stories. It’s heartbreaking but something people need to read about. The authors research took her to Lloyds of London who refused her access to their historical archives because they insured slave ships and now don’t want to be sued for it. The art is very powerful.

Rebel Faces: An 18th century painting containing the actual faces of rebels who participated in one of the most well documented revolts by black enslaved people.

      “...The main figures in the revolt were the three brothers Wally, Mingo and       Baratham.”

“... Because of the shortage of women, many of the enslaved men had wives and children living on other nearby plantations and it had become custom for these men to visit their families during their free time.”

“...warden Westphaal was given the order to increase the yield and restore order and discipline. To effectuate this, one of the measures he took was bringing down the amount of free time from two days back to one.”

the boxer in the thumbnail is named Bill Richmond. He was adopted by a British General as a child and left America for England after the Revolution. In England he became a carpenter, socialite and prize fighter. He had many legendary boxing matches all over the UK and became the first boxer to make the 'bop and weave' tactic popular.

April 2023 on The Hoodoo's Calendar asks us to remember our power x reflect on what it means to be liberated & the sacrifices it has taken to achieve it.

Hoodoo became the path to liberation. And our use of fire played a significant part in that. The Spirit(s) of Fire knows us. It knows the War Cry in our Freedom Songs. It knows our fears & desires, where we have been, what we have fought for, & how we have bled to attain/preserve it. Thus, our liberation has been intricately tied to our relationship with Fire.

We wielded this great power, once; for family, for justice, for freedom, & for retribution. Many of our Elders say that we, as a People of today, do not have the fight in us that we once did. I'm inclined to agree. We have allowed ourselves to become divided (i.e.: Diaspora wars, battles of the sexes, intergenerational combativeness, etc.). We have grown comfortable in the ease in which we can exist today that our more recent ancestors couldn't have fathomed. These things make us weak and complacent These things make us vulnerable.

Which is why, we need to remember; how we fought to stay united, when we've triumphed and lost, what sacrifices were paid to got us to where we are today, what it means to truly be free - how to remain so -,  & what it truly takes to fight for our lives. Most of all, we must remember our Why. Our ancestors knew their Why. They burned & bled for it. This land is scorched with the memories of it. They were not afraid of fire. They wielded it; in respect & out of unbridled determination. We must remember to do the same. Our path toward liberation & self-determination may look different in today's reality, yet the fire that burned in their breasts & the whys of their use of it, is the same fire that must burn in ours & is the same Spirit(s) of the South (Musoni) that remembers us.

think cannibalism should be a thing in menzoberranzan actually, or maybe it is and I haven’t known about it, but it should be a thing amongst the nobles where they eat rival lolth priestesses since they’re lolth’s fave sacrifices anyway. like if we’re all constantly vying for lolth’s approval, and you have these people who actually has her blessing (which is rare) why not….eat them….😳. like eating the priestess of a rival house would be a ritual after you’ve succeeded in bringing their house down as a way to consume lolth’s blessing, and its def an intimidation tactic and def one of the plenty weird shit nobles have done for the sake of playing their power games. maybe they eat males who are in power too if they’ve overstepped their position to remind them of their place in the hierarchy, or maybe matriarchs/nobles eat their favourite bed mate/partner so no one else can have them, kind of like actual spiders. anyway. if menzoberranzan is this immoral lethal and ruthless place cannibalism should def be a thing lol
