It was a pleasure to chat today with Jez and Paulina from @romanistanpodcast.bsky.social - talking about Romany Traveller representations in publishing, sensitivity around the term Gypsy and, er, my Traveller 'crush' - keep your 👀 peeled for it...

“On 16 May 1944, more than 600 Roma prisoners… had broken into an equipment warehouse and armed themselves with hammers, pickaxes and shovels, and taken apart the wooden sections of the bunks they slept on to make weapons. The courageous revolt … is widely referred to as Romani Resistance Day.” -COE

There is a story about The Black Brigade.
They would do Roma chant before battle.
Their faces would go "dark", their "tongues out" and would become "Kali"
Hunting Nazi Soldiers in The Woods. Physically attacking overwhelming Nazis. No Nazi escaped the battle.
Heroes of The Roma.
