This is a much more accurate way to understand the Rwandan genocide.

I might need to read or re-read some things. (Yes, I know about Gourevitch’s book on the subject.)
Louise (Mushikiwabo) was profoundly offended by descriptions of the massacres as some 'mindless ethnic slaughter and "tribal" violence instead of the politically motivated, long-planned, systematic mass extermination of a people by Presidential Guards and the death squads acting under orders. The genocide was not spontaneous. It was not a savage outburst of innate African tribalism. It was the outcome of a methodical, state-orchestrated campaign over decades to dehumanise Tutsis as a means to amass power.'

Hmm. (From page 348 of “An African History of Africa.”)
There were undoubtedly powerful moral arguments by white abolitionists, such as William Wilbertorce, based on the belief that God created all men equally, which triggered widespread discussion, much heart searching and guilt in Europe and the Americas. However, new economic realities also lay behind abolition. There was a transition away from mercantile capitalism as European nations and North America began to industrialise in the early nineteenth century. And for the Industrial Revolution to succeed, large quantities of raw materials, such as palm oil, which was vital as a lubricant for factories and machines, needed to be imported. Since tropical materials such as cotton and rubber could be acquired in Africa, the argument for keeping the enslaved labour there instead of transporting such people elsewhere was a compelling one. There is a strong consensus among African intellectuals that the economic motive was instrumental, even paramount, for the abolition of slavery. As Professor Allen pointed out, 'the very nations that had been involved as beneficiaries of the slave trade, Britain and the United States, were the ones leading the transition to industrial capitalism'. Certainly the continued exploitation by Europeans of African workers (even forced labour) in the decades after abolition undermines the argument that abolition was a triumph of morality.

The lettering could use some improvement, but I like how tomorrow’s page looks.
Notebook-as-Planner for Monday, November 24. Mon 24 is written across the top in yellow cursive letters and pink shadowing. My first to-do reads “Meditate.” To the left is a reminder that I have a package of dip pen nibs arriving.

Someday we will talk about why black and brown candidates are perceived to be leftist/radical/Marxist label despite being wholly centrist candidates. 🙃
Screenshot of a post by Welcome team. It reads: “Our co-founder, Lauren Harper Pope, made clear why Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election.” The screenshot contains image text that reads “Hopefully the next two years will give Democrats plenty of time to “recenter and recalibrate” the party’s future.”

Admitting to myself that I bought this houseplant because it would make a pretty painting.

This framing goes well past what the headline does. Their social media editor should not have that job.
Screen shot of a skeet from the Washington Post. It reads "Exclusive: Military veterans are swamping the U.S. government with dubious disability claims that are exploiting the country’s sacred commitment to compensate those harmed in the line of duty, according to a Post investigation." That's contentious framing that goes further than the article's headline, which reads "How some veterans exploit 193 billion dollar V A program, due to lax controls."

My October 2025 notebook doodle.
October 2025 in hand-lettered script. Below it, a sticker of a crow with a speech bubble that reads “ I'M ATTRACTED TO SHINY THINGS. LIKE YOUR FOREHEAD, FOR EXAMPLE.” Below that hand letter text reads “The spookiest month”. There are doodles of leaves, pumpkins, bats, and a witches hat on the page. At the top of the page, there’s a border of black glitter tape.

Experimented with acrylic skins and fabric today while I wait for these side effects to get gone.

All of the milky white patches will dry to a clear finish eventually.
On the left is lemon patterned fabric covered with acrylic pouring medium. On the right are three blobs of acrylic medium with green and blue paint drizzled on top.

Most of the phrases are nonsensical, ungrammatical and/or contain misspellings.

Not sure how authentic this avgolemono soup is, but it tastes pretty great. (I’ll add less dill for my next bowl.)

Also: Our current moment is a very loud echo. From page 440.
The "strong men," Roosevelt said-referring not to rank-and-file strikebreakers but the millionaires who manipulated them—were restless. Powerful people were "used to having their way," and, FDR went on, they believed that "democracy had run its course," It was time for "totalitarians" to take over.

I feel like this explains some things about the U.S.’s current capitalist class?

(From page 358.)
William Buckley thought Wilson a fool. The Mexican Revolution was a race war, he said, a "revolt of the Indian against the white," and the presi dent of the United States was on the wrong side. For United States capital-ists, race and property relations were inseparable, as was the belief that democratic majority rule was a form of political subversion.
