The first white soldiers made purses out of native american women's genitalia.

Why not be upfront with every horror you did to Black People and POC so we can no longer be disgusted by you?

A Childhood Christmas – Patrick Kavanagh

One side of the potato-pits was white with frost -
How wonderful that was, how wonderful!
And when we put our ears to the paling-post
The music that came out was magical.

The light between the ricks of hay and straw
Was a hole in Heaven's gable. An apple tree
With its December-glinting fruit we saw -
O you, Eve, were the world that tempted me.

To eat the knowledge that grew in clay
And death the germ within it! Now and then
I can remember something of the gay
Garden that was childhood's. Again.

The tracks of cattle to a drinking-place,
A green stone lying sideways in a ditch,
Or any common sight, the transfigured face
Of a beauty that the world did not touch.

My father played the melodion
Outside at our gate;
There were stars in the morning east
And they danced to his music.

Across the wild bogs his melodion called
To Lennons and Callans.
As I pulled on my trousers in a hurry
I knew some strange thing had happened.

Outside in the cow-house my mother
Made the music of milking;
The light of her stable-lamp was a star
And the frost of Bethlehem made it twinkle.

A water-hen screeched in the bog,
Mass-going feet
Crunched the wafer-ice on the pot-holes,
Somebody wistfully twisted the bellows wheel.

My child poet picked out the letters
On the grey stone,
In silver the wonder of a Christmas townland,
The winking glitter of a frosty dawn.

Cassiopeia was over
Cassidy's hanging hill,
I looked and three whin bushes rode across
The horizon — the Three Wise Kings.

And old man passing said:
‘Can't he make it talk -
The melodion.' I hid in the doorway
And tightened the belt of my box-pleated coat.

I nicked six nicks on the door-post
With my penknife's big blade -
there was a little one for cutting tobacco.
And I was six Christmases of age.

My father played the melodion,
My mother milked the cows,
And I had a prayer like a white rose pinned
On the Virgin Mary's blouse.

by Patrick Kavanagh (1904-1967)

Here is the poem, beautifully read by Stephen Rea:

Unusually for me on a school night, this evening I travelled into Dublin not to the National Concert Hall but to the Gaiety Theatre for a performance of Samuel Beckett’s one-act play Krapp’s Last Tape.

The only character on stage for the performance is the eponymous Krapp played in this production by the inestimable Stephen Rea.

Krapp is listening to tape recordings he made as a younger man, apparently with the intention of recording another now he is an old man. It turns into a sort of dialogue between his present and past selves. Finally he gives up trying to make a new tape in favour of his memories. It’s a very poignant statement about ageing and the nature of memory.

Stephen Rea actually recorded the earlier tape about 12 years ago on the off-chance he would get to play the part, and the clear contrast in his voice makes the back-and-forth very convincing.

I’m very glad I got the chance to see this fine production of a modern masterpiece. Go and see it if you can!

P.S. Not a lot of people know that Samuel Beckett played first-class cricket.

The doctor and the devils (1985)

TMDb

Bumserne Fallon og Broom har fundet en ny gesjæft med at sælge lig til anatomiske studier. Men for at tilbyde en friskere råvare end gravrøvere, går de til deres eget, nederste samfundslag for selv at producere nok døde kroppe til at stille efterspørgslen.

Det er en grum udstilling af det georgianske klassesamfund, og fundamentet for vor anatomiske […]
