Welcome to Litsy!

Tonight on The Americas, we got to see this octopus mate and her babies born. It wasn‘t long, but it was amazing! Highly recommend!!!

A lot of things in here that I never learned in school.

Sooo disappointed by this book 😭 I loved 1491 so I was hoping to love this too, but despite all the extremely interesting historical research, he does not have the range to discuss globalization… like this book DRIPS with neoliberal ideology. To him, the terms of the debate are free trade or no trade (fair trade is not an option) so naturally the answer is free trade (that is, capitalism) because people gotta have their commodities, of course 😒

I read the whole thing b/c there was important & interesting information, but this author did not really have the range to write this book lol. She has a college freshman‘s analysis of concepts like race, class & nationalism, and she chooses to write from the perspective of empires and states instead of a “people‘s history”… plus the chapter naming convention barely makes sense 😒 Ambitious but ultimately pretty superficial.

Doing a segment on Dad Bios/Dad History. Wondering if any of these count?
