Caroline Darian’s book is such an honest account of the traumatic discovery that her father Dominique Pelicot was a uniquely depraved criminal
But “chemical submission” is far from unique
Now she is on a powerful mission to change how justice works

Ironically African liberation is always helped by French arrogance and failure to acknowledge past wrongs
A history #Macron keeps repeating
As former French President Jacques Chiraq, no left-winger, said in 2007
"Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third world power"

When Sembène and assistant director Clarence Delgado were filming Camp de Thiaroye decades after the events, the French military refused to cooperate and spied on the production. Then banned the release of the film in #France

Musk is weaponising the real trauma of sexual violence to groom low information social media consumers, sniffing out their vulnerability to disinformation abuse, and exploiting it.
It's also predatory. And very, very dangerous.

I just saw Wicked for the second time. The first time was pre-election. Today it landed completely differently.
Especially the shots fired at performative allyship and people who claim to be on the side of kindness but end up following power instead of principle…

I am in love with the Festa Literária das Periferias (FLUP)
In English: the Literary Festival of the Urban Periphery
This year it was curated by Mame-Fatou Niang and was just a haven of Afro-Brazilian and general black Atlantic genius
A haven of honesty & creation in a mad, self destructive world
