Very cool!
the record is called “mogadisco” and the tapes survived decades of civil war, looting, and gunfire. mogadishu was nicknamed “pearl of the indian ocean” and it was seen as one of the safest places in africa, a tourism hub.

Over 20,000 West Indians, 15,600 with the British West Indies Regiment, volunteered to serve during the First World War; two thirds from #Jamaica. Our soldiers' stories are coming to light; not as much the sailors. How did their experience shape them, and our islands? So much to unpack on #RemembranceDay.

The Caribbean was not peripheral to American slavery. It was central to the development of the Atlantic plantation economy.
Caribbean plantation systems, particularly those of Barbados and Jamaica, influenced plantation practices, slave codes, commercial networks and slaveholding interests in mainland British North America.
For that reason, the Haitian Revolution fundamentally challenged the entire Atlantic slaveholding world leading to emancipation in all slave holding regions in America.
There werent hierarchies of enslaved. Where your ancestors were enslaved doesn't make you better than the descendants of slaves anywhere else.

Country magazine, a magazine about the English countryside doesn't have an article about Prince William's eviction of small farmers and tenants, from their decades, some families, hundreds years of staying there.
See how things are? Conviently leaving out the critical really important stories.

Your reminder that Gaza had functioning drainage, sewerage and water treatment systems before Israel systematically destroyed them.
And homes.

Hazel Scott was also a disabled Black woman. She had mental illness, struggled with depression, and attempted suicide twice.
Some of her mental health issues can be attributed to racism. Hazel Scott was blackballed for standing up against segregation during the Red Scare.

Ok jokes aside, this man is genuinely smth else. He could’ve easily just shown support for Palestine with a few words and nobody would’ve questioned it, but he literally went to the Rafah crossing, the border of Gaza!!! I’m so fucking proud of him and so happy I support this man

Yesterday I met a Jamaican lady in Cairo who said she's been travelling solo for the last 6 months after winning half a million USD in the lottery...
She said she collected her winnings and haven't looked back.
She was so joyful, I truly love that for her.
