Starting digging through old recordings. That only means one thing. Spending money. Once I have it. I used to have quite a few Folkways recordings back when. I don't remember everything I had, but if I see them again, I will remember. I have already added and to my To Buy list. One thing I do know, expanded the Folkways recordings to be available and make purchases hard to turn down. That is, if I recall correctly.

This is a remarkable story told in the style of a graphic novel, with gorgeous illustration and heartbreaking content. A window into the sad history of US colonialism.

Maura, a Filipino woman, died after coming to the U.S. to be put on display at the 1904 World's Fair. A Smithsonian anthropologist likely took part of her brain.

“All of us are profoundly shaped by the past, for good & for ill, & the — like so many other & — is grappling w/a legacy once deemed acceptable but that is so clearly wrong today.

“The Post’s recent coverage regarding the human remains still housed in our collections is certainly illustrative of the Smithsonian’s darkest . This is our inheritance, & we accept the to address these wrongs to the fullest extent possible.

Another week, another !! For today’s post we have one of my favorite Allosaurus displays. The Natural History Museum Dinosaur Hall decided to place Allosaurus in a nesting posture. Growing up, only one dinosaurs was ever regarded as a good parent, so it is always great to see that idea changing and morphing especially around Theropods and other Apex predators.

The Washington Post - Revealing the Smithsonian’s ‘racial brain collection’

REVEALING THE SMITHSONIAN’S ‘RACIAL BRAIN COLLECTION’ by Nicole Dungca and
Claire Healy (The Washington Post, free access).

A must-read text of horror and racism.

"Nearly 100 years later, Sara’s brain is still housed by the institution, wrapped in muslin and immersed in preservatives in a large metal container. It is stored in a museum facility in Maryland with 254 other brains, amassed mostly in the first half of the 20th century. Almost all of them were gathered at the behest of Hrdlicka, a prominent anthropologist who believed that White people were superior and collected body parts to further now-debunked theories about anatomical differences between races."

"Most of the brains were removed upon death from Black and Indigenous people and other people of color."

Smithsonian, a poem by Regie Cabico

"We are broken stories, continually breaking, trying to connect with itself, for without this knowledge, we would perish. We are celebrating while climbing an uphill battle just to be who we are. And when the dragon is unleashed on us, we are the ones who create the magic, cast the spells and make the impossible possible."

Playing for the Man at the Door review | Jude Rogers' folk album of the month theguardian.com/music/2023/aug

'This invigorating 66-song set of broadside ballads, blues, spirituals and other field recordings from the mid-20th century American south comes with a telling title. It reveals the power dynamics at play when songs performed by African Americans were taped by white male folk collectors. The extensive archives of folklorist Mack McCormick were also selective: he called his subjects “tribal people”, as they lacked middle-class aspirations, and the recordings are also largely of men.'
