On November 26th we venerate Elevated Ancestor & Hoodoo Saint Mama Sojourner Truth on the 140th anniversary of her passing 🕊

An abolitionist, Womens’ Rights activist, & itinerant evangelist, Mama Sojourner Truth truly lived up to her name as one of the fiercest, relentless, & unstoppable pro-abolitionist voices of the 19th Century.

Given the name, Isabella, at birth, Mama Truth was born around 1797 to Dutch-speaking enslaved parents on Colonel Ardinburgh Hurley's plantation in Ulster County, NY. The actual date of her birth remains unknown. At the age of 9 she was sold away from her parents. She was passed through the hands of several slavers across NY State before ending up with the Dumonts. As was the case for most enslaved folks in the rural North, Isabella was forcibly isolated from other slaves and suffered physical & sexual abuse at the hands of the Dumonts.

Alone in the nearby woods, she found peace. Here, she'd speak to Spirit/God. Inspired by her many conversations with Spirit, one day in 1826, she walked away from Dumont Farm to freedom. Although the journey tempted her to return to the Dumonts, she stayed the course after she was struck by a vision of a man she identified as Jesus, during which she felt "baptized in the Holy Spirit," and thus gained the strength & confidence to push on. Like countless Ancestors before her, Isabella called on Spirit & supernatural forces for the power to survive her conditions.

Eventually, she married & birthed 5 children. On July 4, 1827, the NY State Legislature emancipated the enslaved, including Isabella & her children. Yet the Dumont family who "owned" her, refused to comply. Before dawn the next morning, with her youngest baby cradled in her arms, she sought refuge 5 miles away with an abolitionist family. During her time there, she converted to Pentecostal and joined their local Methodist church.

She later then moved again, this time with one of her eldest sons, Peter, in NYC wherein by day she worked as a live-in domestic. Here she found & joined a religious cult called, The Kingdom. It's leader, Matthias, beat Isabella and forced her to take on the heaviest workload. Soon thereafter she became a Pentecostal preacher. Her faith and preaching along with her life story as an emancipated slave drew the attentions of abolitionists & women's rights crusaders. Her speeches were not political by nature. They were based on her unique interpretation - as a woman and a former slave -of the Christian Bible.

On June 1st 1863, Sojourner Truth was born. Isabella took on this new name for herself as she headed East to, “exhort the people to embrace Jesus, and refrain from sin". She lived in a utopian community called, The Northampton Association for Education & Industry, which was devoted to transcending class, race, & gender. She preached at camp meetings for a few years before the community was dissolved. Even though the community lasted less than five years, many highly influential & reform-minded individuals visited the Northampton community; including prolific abolitionist leaders such as Frederick Douglass & William Lloyd Garrison.

Through these connections, she began to speak at public events on behalf of slave abolition and women’s rights. Eventually, this compelled her infamous 1851,“Ar’nt I A Woman” speech at a Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, OH. This was a significant moment in the sociopolitical climate of the country at the time because, for the first time for most, "slave" became equated to women & "woman" became equated to Black. She became increasingly involved on the issue of Women's suffrage, but eventually separated her voice from leaders such as Susan B. Anthony & Elizabeth Cady Stanton one they asserted that they would not support the Black vote if Women were not also granted the same right.

In 1857, Mama Truth purchased a house with the help of friends in a small Spiritualist community called, Harmonia, near Battle Creek, MI. Here she lived thriving the years of supporting hwrself thrift paid speaking events, selling photographs of herself, publishing her book titled, "Narrative of Sojourner Truth" which was written by an amanuensis, as she was illiterate.

Once the Civil War began, Mama Truth pushed for the inclusion of Blacks in the Union Army, which was not intitially the case. She then poured her energy into gathering food & clothing supplies for the underserved volunteer regiments of Black Union soldiers. This is when the plight freed slaves captured her attention, as many of whom were living in refugee camps in Washington D.C.. Mama Truth embarked on a round-trip journey from her home near Battle Creek,MI to D.C. to meet with President Abraham Lincoln to discuss the conditions of the freedmen refugees in D.C. & across the North.

After the Civil War, she championed the idea of a colony for freed slaves out West where they could galvanize their desires to become self-reliant. Mama Truth garnered numerous signatures for her petition urging the U.S. Government to provide land for this endeavor. Although she presented this petition to then President Ulysses S. Grant, her mission never materialized. Nevertheless, in the Fall of 1879, a large migration of Southern freedmen ventured westward to start begin life anew. Mama Truth saw this as God's Divine Plan for our people. Despite her old age, Mama Truth traveled to Kansas to help them. Four years later, Mama Sojourner Truth passed away at her home near Battle Creek, MI. She was believed to be 86.

"How came Jesus into the world? Through God who created him and woman who bore him. Man, where is your part? But the women are coming up blessed by God and few of the men are coming up with them. But man is in a tight place, the poor slave is on him, woman is coming on him, and he is surely between a hawk an' a buzzard." - Sojourner Truth @ the 1851 Ohio Women's Convention.

We pour libations & give 💐 today as we celebrate Mama Truth her selfless service and pioneering vision for the freedom & self-determination of our people. May her life be a reminder of: the power of stillness & deep meditation, to lead with Spirit, & the grit of perseverance that's alive in our blood.

Offering suggestions: woodland soil, water, Pentecostal prayers/ scripture, read/share her speeches & written words.

‼️Note: offering suggestions are just that & strictly for veneration purposes only. Never attempt to conjure up any spirit or entity without proper divination/Mediumship counsel.‼️

Victorian Myths That Need To Die

Corsetry and Tight lacing are two different things. Lots of women wore corsets but they didn't all tight lace. That hour glass figure was actually achieved with a hell of a lot of padding. You can see this padding on extant Victorian garments. And on the note of tight lacing, it was almost never that extremely thin figure we see in art of the era. The furthest they typically laced down to was 26-29 inches.

Most Victorians didn't eat mummies. Just the rich ones, mostly. Because, yeah, it was expensive to get a mummy. And medical cannibalism wasn't all that unheard of in the Victorian era to begin with.(See their epilepsy and tuberculosis remedies). Let's not forget that rich people are weird and do weird things with their money, no matter the era.

They did, in fact, bathe, and they did it regularly, as well as wash their clothes (well, their underthing's - all those layers served a purpose beyond fragile sensibilities. they kept your outer clothes from needing regular washing.) They may not have had full bathes often but they regularly washed themselves down with soap and a wash cloth.

Bloomers were not the revolution we think. Many suffragettes protested in acceptable day wear, as they often found wearing bifurcated garments gave them the wrong kind of attention. Newspapers would talk more about their outfits than they did their message and this is the reason Susan B. Anthony returned to acceptable ladies wear for her protests.

There were no fainting couches. Corsets didn't typically make women faint. If they were fainting it was probably because of the arsenic and other toxins in the wallpaper of their houses.

A further note on corsets, they were not as stiff as you would think. Sports corsets were a thing, as women began developing an interest in active hobbies. They mostly corrected posture, and did not inhibit breathing so much as change the way you do it. (#justiceforcorsets2022)

lol i just rewatched Everyone Knows it's Bendy! from foster's home. it's the most disliked episode or something? an imaginary friend named bendy is left at foster's because he's a troublemaker and destroys things for no reason. who's to blame, the kid or bendy? well. Bendy. he gets the main cast in trouble the whooole ep and then gets a teeny tiny bit of comeuppance at the end. it sucks.

but what's funny is i don't even remember hating this one in particular. i think i hated the previous one more. it's paired with that ep when wilt just wants to watch a basketball game but cant because people keep nagging him to do stuff and our boy, OUR BELOVED BOY, he's so nice he can't say no and it gets him into Shenanigans.

oh no what if it was gonna be a full episode, bendy torturing our boy wilt, but then it was too mean and they split it up instead. i dunno maybe ptttthhh [the credits sequence has a bit where bendy writes wilt's name on the wall and oh no now wilt's gotta deal with that noooo] the problem with the bendy ep is theres no real story to it or any comeuppance. we dont know Why bendy acts like that. there's no satisfying buildup or payoff it just turns out oh he IS just a little shit and then bloo has to destroy the house for him to get caught and then the eps over Whooooo. also its immediately after an episode where a character we do like and care about is treated bad

the good news is this ep was so hated bendy never comes back as a character again. i think. it's been forever and internet feedback wasn't As instantaneous in 2004.

that thing when people torture their ocs i gueeeesss lol

i've read that lauren faust Really regrets writing that bendy episode and some other one from powerpuff girls about feminism. lol i baaaarely remember that one but i think it was fine? it taught me about the sacagawea and susan b anthony dollar coins! orrr i already knew about them and was thrilled to see them in the ep. one of the two. and it also taught me that extreme man-hating feminism is Stupid. I think. I hope so lmao

#foster's home for imaginary friends #ramble #there's some later chunks of this show i reaaallly remember hating. so those are gonna be fun to rewatch with Adult Brain haha

‘Scripture Is Very Clear’: New House Speaker Tells Congress God Has ‘Ordained’ Them. Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, in his first remarks after being elected Wednesday afternoon, told Members of Congress that “Scripture” and “the Bible” are clear that they have been “ordained” by God.

“I want to tell all my colleagues here what I told the Republicans in that room last night,” Speaker Johnson declared. “I don’t believe there are any coincidences in a manner like this. I believe that Scripture, the Bible is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority. He raised up each of you, all of us. And I believe that God has ordained and allowed each one of us to be brought here for this specific moment in this time. This is my belief. I believe that each one of us has a huge responsibility today, to use the gifts that God has given us to serve the extraordinary people of this great country and they deserve it.”

Later, speaking outside on the steps of Congress, Speaker Johnson again mentioned “Scripture.”

Critics have characterized Speaker Johnson, who hails from Louisiana, as a “Christian nationalist.”

“An evangelical Christian, he has voted for a national abortion ban and co-sponsored a 20-week abortion ban, earning him an A-plus rating from the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America,” The New York Times reports. “On the day the Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, he celebrated, calling it ‘an extraordinary day in American history that took us almost a half-century to get to.’ He hosts a religious podcast with his wife and considers Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, one of the founders of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, a mentor.”

“Last year,” The Times adds, “Mr. Johnson introduced a bill that prohibited the use of federal funds for providing sex education to children under 10 that included any L.G.B.T.Q. topics — a proposal that critics called a national version of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law. Mr. Johnson called the legislation ‘common sense.'”

This is the Asshole who is now Speaker Of The House, an Election Denier ( ... among other questionable political positions)

" ... Johnson also objected to certifying Biden’s electoral win and was one of the architects of a legal attack on the election that consisted of arguing that states’ voting accommodations during the pandemic were unconstitutional. He led a group of 126 Republican lawmakers in filing an amicus brief to the Supreme Court alleging that authorities in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan had “usurped” the constitutional authority of state legislatures when they loosened voting restrictions because of the pandemic. ... "

" ... Johnson, who serves on the House Armed Services Committee, was one of 57 lawmakers — all of them Republicans — who voted against a $39.8 billion aid package for Ukraine in May. ... "

" ... Johnson, a constitutional lawyer who identifies as a Christian, opposes abortion and has celebrated the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that had established constitutional protections for abortions nationwide. The antiabortion nonprofit Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America gives Johnson an A+ ranking on this issue, stating that he “has voted consistently to defend the lives of the unborn and infants,” including by “stopping hard-earned tax dollars from paying for abortion, whether domestically or internationally.” ... "

" ... Johnson has positioned himself on the far right of the political spectrum on several social issues, even within the current conservative Republican conference. Notably, he introduced legislation last year — modeled after Florida’s “don’t say gay” bill — that would have prohibited discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as related subjects, at any institution that received federal funds. The Human Rights Campaign, a pro-LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, gave Johnson a score of zero in its latest congressional scorecard. ... "

I love how Batman gets knocked the fuck out by Two-Face hucking a coin at him here. I wonder how much a silver dollar minted in 1922 actually weighs, because I don't think that I've ever seen one in person before. But according to my dad who has presumably seen them in person before says that they were actually quite large. Like often times Two-Face's silver dollar looks comically large in some of these panels. Actually it might be more to scale when it's drawn as a larger coin than a smaller one.

So here are some coins I have. Sometimes Two-Face's coin is depicted as a quarter. Often his silver dollar is portrayed as being about the size of the Susan B. Anthony dollar coins. This Australlian 50 cent coin was the biggest piece of actual currency that I could find around the house... But apparently actual silver dollars as they would have been printed in 1922 would have been closer to the size of the novelty Pokemon Sword and Shield coin that you see here than any of the others... According to my dad at least.

So apparently Two-Face's coin is actually a big ol' honkin' thing! Maybe it would have been heavy enough to knock someone out with a good throw! Because let me tell you. This novelty coin is not very heavy at all. Its probably made out of tin or something. Makes a good sound when it's flipped tho.

Women’s History Month: Biography Recommendations

Ida B. The Queen by Michelle Duster

Written by her great-granddaughter, this account tells the awe-inspiring story of Ida B. Wells, a pioneering woman who was often overlooked and underestimated - a woman who refused to exit a train car meant for white passengers; a woman who brought to light the horrors of lynching in America; a woman who cofounded the NAACP. Like her contemporaries Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, Wells left an indelible mark on history - one that can still be felt today.

Eleanor by David Michaelis

In the first single-volume cradle-to-grave portrait in six decades, acclaimed biographer David Michaelis delivers a stunning account of Eleanor Roosevelt’s remarkable life of transformation. An orphaned niece of President Theodore Roosevelt, she converted her Gilded Age childhood of denial and secrecy into an irreconcilable marriage with her ambitious fifth cousin Franklin. Despite their inability to make each other happy, Franklin Roosevelt transformed Eleanor from a settlement house volunteer on New York’s Lower East Side into a matching partner in New York’s most important power couple in a generation.

Red Comet by Heather Clark

With a wealth of never-before-accessed materials, this account brings to life the brilliant Sylvia Plath, who had precocious poetic ambition and was an accomplished published writer even before she became a star at Smith College. Refusing to read Plath’s work as if her every act was a harbinger of her tragic fate, Clark considers the sociopolitical context as she thoroughly explores Plath’s world: her early relationships and determination not to become a conventional woman and wife; her troubles with an unenlightened mental health industry; her Cambridge years and thunderclap meeting with Ted Hughes; and much more.

Code Name: Lise by Larry Loftis

In 1942, Odette Sansom decided to follow in her war hero father’s footsteps by becoming an SOE agent to aid Britain and her beloved homeland, France. After landing in occupied France to begin her mission, she meets her commanding officer Captain Peter Churchill and, as they successfully complete mission after mission, Peter and Odette fall in love. They are eventually sent to Paris’s Fresnes prison, and from there to concentration camps in Germany. But in the face of despair, they never give up hope, their love for each other, or the whereabouts of their colleagues.

Former President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign angered leading pro-life voices this week by reportedly deemphasizing abortion in private comments, then appearing to disavow national action on abortion by leaving it for the states to decide. On Thursday, the Washington Post reported that Trump is privately “telling advisers that he believes [the abortion issue] is a difficult one for Republicans and not something he should focus his time on,” and that pro-life leaders were frustrated by Trump’s failure to raise the subject at all during a recent donor retreat. “His silence spoke very loudly to the pro-life movement,” Students for Life of America president Kristan Hawkins told the Post. “We were pretty disappointed.” In response, Trump 2024 spokesman Steven Cheung declined to answer whether the former president supports the 6-week abortion ban recently signed by his chief rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, instead issuing a statement that “President Donald J. Trump believes that the Supreme Court, led by the three Justices which he supported, got it right when they ruled this is an issue that should be decided at the State level.” The statement also took credit for Trump’s appointment of three of the justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade last summer. “He will continue these policies when reelected to the White House,” Cheung added. “Like President Reagan before him, President Trump supports exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother.” (In fact, Ronald Reagan, who backed a constitutional amendment to ban abortion nationwide, did not support rape or incest exceptions.) The answer drew reactions from various pro-life leaders, groups, and figures. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America president Marjorie Dannenfelser called Trump’s “states-only” position “morally indefensible” and vowed to “oppose any presidential candidate who refuses to embrace at a minimum a 15-week national standard.” Americans United for Life, without mentioning Trump, advocated “hold[ing] presidential hopefuls to the standard of supporting a national Pain Capable Abortion Ban.” Live Action president Lila Rose declared that Trump “has DISQUALIFIED himself from the nomination of our nation’s pro-life political party.”

‘Here we go again’: Republicans split over post-Roe abortion laws

Several presidential hopefuls are pushing for stricter bans to differentiate themselves from Donald Trump

Oblivious to 2022 election results showing that voters strongly disapprove of their aggressive posture on abortion, by a margin of two-to-one or more, congressional Republicans resolve to charge ahead with efforts to criminalize procedures that 70% of Americans believe should be fully legal and universally available.

Top Republicans are increasingly split over where to draw the line in restricting access to abortions in the wake of last year’s landmark US Supreme Court decision, as White House hopefuls look to carve out their own positions with an eye to the 2024 presidential contest. Several would-be candidates, including Mike Pence, Donald Trump’s former vice-president, and South Dakota governor Kristi Noem are courting support from party donors and grassroots voters by pushing for strict bans. They are differentiating themselves from former president Trump, who despite appointing the three conservative Supreme Court judges who brought about the overturning of Roe vs Wade, has since suggested he believes outright bans are unpalatable to voters.“They are all going to try a different route,” said Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia Center for Politics. “[Trump] is bound to have three, four or five opponents, I’d say that is the minimum. So here we go again.”

The schism has emerged after the Supreme Court’s decision to scrap Americans’ constitutional right to an abortion, which effectively handed responsibility for regulating the procedure to states rather than the federal government. More than a dozen states have since passed outright bans, while others have brought in restrictions.

Groups such as Susan B Anthony Pro-Life America have called for other states to do the same, and pushed for Congress to go a step further with a federal ban. Several thousand supporters gathered in Washington on Friday for the annual March for Life to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Roe decision on Sunday. The issue has emerged as an early litmus test for establishing conservative bona fides, as Republicans jostle for position in a field still dominated by Trump, who is the only Republican who has declared he will seek the nomination.

The former president, who has described himself as the “most pro-life president ever”, attracted the ire of staunch anti-abortion activists this month when he blamed the “abortion issue” for Republicans’ disappointing performance in last November’s midterm elections. Exit polls suggested abortion rights were a galvanising issue for Democratic voters and independents who rejected candidates who had called for strict bans without exception. “It wasn’t my fault that the Republicans didn’t live up to expectations in the midterms,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. “It was the ‘abortion issue’, poorly handled by many Republicans, especially those that firmly insisted on no exceptions, even in the case of rape, incest, or life of the mother, that lost large numbers of voters,” he added.

Mary Ann Shadd Cary (October 9, 1823 – June 5, 1893) was an American-Canadian anti-slavery activist, journalist, publisher, teacher, and lawyer. She was the first African American woman publisher in North America and the first woman publisher in Canada. When the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 in the US threatened to return free northern African Americans and escaped slaves into bondage. This is where her symbolic effort to create free African American settlements in Canada began. She founded a racially integrated school with the support of the American Missionary Association and published a pamphlet called, "Notes on Canada West," which was a plea for emigration and discussed the benefits, as well as the opportunities, of African Americans in the area, and she ran an anti-slavery newspaper called The Provincial Freeman. During the Civil War, at the behest of the abolitionist Martin Delany, she served as a recruiting officer to enlist African American volunteers for the Union Army in the state of Indiana. She taught in African American schools in Wilmington, before moving to DC, where she taught in public schools and attended Howard University School of Law. She graduated as a lawyer at the age of 60, becoming only the second African American woman in the US to earn a law degree. She wrote for the newspapers National Era and The People's Advocate and in 1880, organized the Colored Women's Progressive Franchise. She joined the National Woman Suffrage Association, working alongside Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton for women's suffrage, testifying before the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives and becoming the first African-American woman to vote in a national election. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CjffBKQORwR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
