Friday Ephemera (828)
Confounding house numbers, 1961. || “Dad, you can carry big rocks.” || Dawn upwardsness. || It’s possible they went too far. || The formidable Miss Whiplash. || Boy Wonder, big pants, Batman in a jam, 1943. || “Photography not permitted.” || Japanese people encounter Marmite. || Mole relocation. || For manly striding. || “White empiricism” oppresses magic black womanliness, claims bint featured here. || At last, Star Wars… in Welsh. || Mauler parses the moral logic of the latest Spider-Man film. || It’s all in the neck. || Look away now. || The Englishwoman and the Horse, 1981. || Visible roots. || A tour of ancient Rome. || You want one and you know it. || I’m not sure what to call this. || For children of all ages. || Blinky. || And finally, the thrill of smoking toad venom. “Relax,” says he. “Feel the love.”

Be sure to hit the links and read the abstracts for quality learing like this
Near as I can tell from the abstract, there’s some logging going on around Fairy Creek (SW Vancouver Island, I think), and there were protests from the Aboriginals, and they got arrested, and it’s all emblematic of the ENTIRE COLONIAL/SETTLER PROJECT since 1492.
Also, “extractive capital.”
I’m still not sure what “the distinct geographies of carcerality that emerge in resource extractive zones” are, but it sounds like she’s peeved that cops can arrest protesters out in the forest.

Classes at Clown School let out early?
Hatred of Jews and whites is mainstream among blacks.
Simon Webb discusses the old boys network of unqualified blacks.
