Happy Columbus Day

[I stole Audre’s article for today to cover my lack of preparation, so it’s only fair for me to present this today. This was my post for Columbus Day in 2011, and somehow seems quite apropos for today, so enjoy. Neo] Another Columbus Day has come. And again we celebrate the (re)discovery of the New World. And look what has been erected on that discovery! If you didn’t know; Columbus was a student…

With the Wattasids the long and bloody history of European colonialism in Africa begins in its modern form:

In turn, too, the Wattasids also show why the Saadi were so willing to adopt the influence of the Gunpowder Empires and the example laid out for them by Suleiman the Magnificent, and that the very expansions and aggression from the perspective of the Sahel and 'Sub-Saharan' Africa could be in its own way a reaction to imperialist aggression in North Africa.

The Wattasids displaced the Marinids and then immediately confronted the first waves of European colonialism under Henry the Navigator and his immediate successors. In the course of these confrontations Henry was able to successfully seize and hold various coastal enclaves, most particularly Ceuta, and in that process cast the first shadows of European colonialism. This was also the beginning of the process that would help to shape the evolutions of the Kingdoms of Ashanti, Benin, and Dahomey, as well as their more interior neighbors.

It began rather simply in places geographically closer to Spain and Portugal than the Sahel, and in these clashes the two sides would evolve the institutions that brought the doom from the north and the context that would shape the dawn of the slave trade.

And that, as well as the history of this dynasty's struggles and its ultimate failure that saw it displaced by the Saadi of Tondibi and Alcacer Quibir fame, is where the long history of Islamic rivalry and ebbing and flowing with European colonialism in Africa starts.

WALKING THE ALGARVE'S WILD WEST

WALKING THE ALGARVE’S WILD WEST

It’s long been known that walking through a town, or through the countryside, is one of the best ways to discover a place. In his book A Philosophy of Walking, French philosopher Frédéric Gros suggested that walking is a route to entirely being ourselves and experiencing the sublime. Indeed, the inherent solitude one experiences while solo hiking has been known to open the flood gates to…

The Tudors ran so Wulf Hall could shuffle awkwardly around reiterating the same tired old Tudor stereotypes while claiming to be something new.

#It's so funny but as a historian I will genuinely defend 'The Tudors' to the death even with all its problems #Because it did was so few other Tudor shows/movies/media have ever done #And that is: it focused on things BEYOND just Henry and his wives.#Yes Henry was the focal point which makes SENSE but that's just it:#HENRY was the focal point. Most other Tudor media pieces have one of the wives (usually Catherine/Anne) as the focus and doesn't delve muc #Into the history or what was happening in England beyond the King's Great Matter.#The Tudors went ALL out. Yes they didn't get everything right but the fact that they tried and spotlighted so many other #Historical characters and events? The Pilgrimage of Grace? Actually LOOKING at the religious issues even if they weren't always accurate?#(Like with Aske for example. BUT AT LEAST THEY INCLUDED ROBERT ASKE like good lord it's like other Tudor media forgets everything else)#Focusing on Cromwell but also the Seymour brothers? The politics behind Henry? Even Brandon as annoying as his storylines could get.#Even smaller characters like Tallis and Gardiner and other Reformation and Counter-Reformation figures.#The fact that they featured the Reformation and Counter-Reformation AT ALL let alone tried to dive into the complexities of England's #religious crises. The burning of Anne Askew even? People having to navigate England's increasingly unstable religious situations?#The series hit its peak after the CoA/Anne stuff was over imho. Yes Cranmer and Norfolk annoyingly vanished despite being major figures in #the R/CR and they combined Mary and Margaret but god the Tudors did SO MUCH that NO OTHER PIECE OF TUDORS MEDIA has EVER DONE.#It looked BEYOND Henry BEYOND his wives and tried to paint a comprehensive pictur of a deeply troubling and divisive time in English histor #And it did so without demonising one side and it was just so good for so many reasons that I forgive its errors because damn did they TRY.#Tried in a way no one else ever has (no Wulf Hall did not I'm sorry)#(Wulf Hall was just the same old stereotypes rehashed and branded as something 'original' because it was from Cromwell's POV but again.#Same old stereotypes. Nothing actually original about anything else.)#The Tudors is so underrated for what it tried to do and what it achieved and I am reaching the tag limit but UGH god. Amazing.#Not even getting into how wonderful they were with Mary Tudor/Mary I herself and showing figures around her #Because that would be another tag essay considering the subject of my thesis.#Flawed but wonderful.#text #chey.txt

Henry: "You mentioned that sometimes you can love and love and love someone, and no matter what you do, they don't love you back. Well sometimes, you can love and love and love someone who isn't good to you, and no matter how bad they are, you still love them."

(Episode 13: Terry Jr. and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Dad)

The unintentional foreshadowing of this quote kills me. Was absolutely smacked in the face with dramatic irony when relistening to this episode.

Of course Henry would say this. It's such an excellent thing for him to say, because loving the world and everyone in it is the core of his character. He explicitly tells Lark and Sparrow to love everyone like they love each other, on the precipice of a major battle with someone who defined Henry's misery.

Henry loves so, so much, to the point of tearing himself apart.

Because eventually, what Henry describes to Ron, happens to him. Someone he loves with his whole soul doesn't (CAN'T) love him back anymore. Someone he loves more than anything hurts him, in more ways then one.

But never, ever, will Henry be able to stop loving his son, no matter what.

#today in 'crying over the oaks'#calamity speaks #dndads #dungeons and daddies #henry oak #lark oak #dndaddies #i think this is a big part of why the oaks are my favorites #the conlicted love and (un)deserved anger that runs through them #and how they deal with it #their family dynamic post s1 is so messed up #and no one's happy!#the world is ending but even if it wasn't they don't get that closure #instead they have to navigate around each other #mercedes and sparrow in the middle #while henry tries to reach out #and lark just tries to get away #how do you deal with loving someone who is *supposed* to love you back #but doesnt #partially through fault of your own #how do you forgive yourself? how do you forgive them?#is there even anything to forgive? is there even forgiveness?#it's such an interesting scenario #its like a redemption arc in which no one did anything wrong #(yknow except that one thing where lark did do the big oopsie)#(that was on him)#(or well not completely but im already ranting so ill save that for another time)
