letter to dr moosa regarding my inconstant heart poem
updated
i'm so sorry that i say interesting so regularly lol....
some things that might b good to check out ::
some socialist periodicals can be found on the wonderful marxists internet archive : marxists.org/english.htm
engels' letter to margaret harkness on realism : marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1888/letters/88_04_15.htm
the image breakers : babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89098020514&seq=7
ros has a great video abt queer vixtorian poets which touches on michael field a little if ur interested in them ! : youtu.be/Ex0c0RWl-oM?si=00Pgpnuv-aC1bkVX [starts at 13:27 but the whole video is rly great !]
aimΓ©e furniss, scholar should b available here : https://purl.stanford.edu/zr387dg4736 [but if u have a problem w this just lmk ] [i call her katharine bruce glasier bc that's what she was also called, it's her married name, but she also went by katharine st john conway !]
when i mentioned tramping i referenced the book the five : the untold lives of the women killed by jack the ripper by hallie rubenhold
i didnt rly talk abt this bc i went on for so long already but if ur interested in the short form fiction in the socialist press i would recommend checking out michael rosen's collation of some called 'workers tales : socialist fairy tales, fables and allegories from great britain' :)
u can hear him chat about it on my fav podcast working class literature :: open.spotify.com/episode/3Y7y6B34F5iFnMv7CLKMQm?si=c75629e33f044faa

youtu.be/9rEMG8YenWQ?si=IAu2hEV-u5SaIILU
youtu.be/k3DHZQwL5n8?si=2fR8DS8cubOWMsRJ [i think i would probably disagree w a lot of what i say in this video now, but it still might b interesting !]
youtu.be/0lzA6w9BSlg?si=ALi3U1NrUa8ELFcH
also i kinda think i touch on some socialist writing in this vlog : youtu.be/67sgl7lMpQo?si=1czudgnR5cazpDKB

& one thing i also wanted to say about the film that i didnt like was that all the older women are seen as sex-less/ not fucking in some way ??which i think was fucked up, maybe it was a point on how like youth sees older ppl but i just think it was an excuse to be weird about aging women being undesirable [false]

i know we didnt speak about congo or sudan in this but if you want a place to start learning about whats going on i thought this website might be useful as an introduction for sudan: eyesonsudan.net
& i found this overview about some of the context & human rights abuses in congo was good : youtube.com/watch?v=BF9WE5VE5WI but it is not up to date, it's more background so obviously there are other more up to date things to check out!
find viki here : instagram.com/vikivamp
also i realised we meant to mention the anarcha feminist anthology quiet rumours by dark star collective i think so check that out !!
