culture consumed (June, 2018) -- playing catch-up

[hermionesviolin]

I was at two conferences in one week, so that impinged upon my culture-consumed time.

---

tv

• finished watching S2 of One Day at a Time on Netflix --I agree that it ended in a good place, but I'm glad it's getting a 3rd season
  
• finished watching S2 of Jessica Jones on Netflix -- as predicted, the last few episodes did not improve the season
  
• watched the "San Junipero" episode of Black Mirror on Netflix (episode 3.04)
  
• started watching The Good Place (I've watched the first 11 episodes -- through 1.11 What's My Motivation)
  
• Juana Inés (7-episode Mexican mini-series, acquired by Netflix) [I was curious to learn more about her after reading the one English lanuage picturebook that exists and in Googling I found a BookRiot article from last year "What to Read if You Loved Juana Inés on Netflix" -- so of course then I had to look up the mini-series]

books

• 22 kids' books -- mostly working through the backlog of all the books I'd ILLed the previous month and hadn't gotten to
  • I loved The Rabbit Listened by Cori Doerrfeld
• the much-hyped Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
  
• Habibi: A Muslim Love Story Anthology eds. Hadeel al-Massari & Nyala Ali
  
• Bipolar Faith: A Black Woman's Journey with Depression and Faith by Monica A. Coleman
  
• volume 5 of the 2016 runs of Wonder Woman and Black Panther *shrug*

movies

• You Can Be Brave (documentary, rough cut, seen at #SITD18)

podcasts

• one more episode of the Mabel audio drama (now through Episode Twenty-Three: Bull in the Maze)

nonfiction videos

• The last week of June I finally started getting caught up on University of Alberta's Coursera Indigenous Canada (which I had gotten behind on that month) and am now through Module 10 (so I'm now only 1 week behind).
  
  The module on Indigenous Women critiques colonialist heteropatriarchy generally, and includes an interview with Billy-Ray Belcourt -- who I then looked up, which led to me watching Gallstones and the Colonial Politics of the Future | Billy-Ray Belcourt | TEDxUAlberta [2016]
  
  This then led me to other TEDx talks:
  
  
  1. TEDxFlanders - Olivia U. Rutazibwa - Decoloniser [2011]
     
  2. Africa Post-Colonial Development: Fatoumata Waggeh at TEDxGallatin [2013]
     
  3. Is Africa really "rising" | Ali Mufuruki | TEDxEuston [2014]
     
  4. Colonialism, development, and imagination | Joseph Gaskins Jr. | TEDxGrandBahama [2014]
     
  5. What if we broke the chains of neocolonialism? | Brittany Malcolm | TEDxYouth@GrandBahama [2017]
     
  6. Decolonising the Curriculum | Melz Owusu | TEDxUniversityofLeeds [2017]
     
  7. Pedagogy of the Decolonizing | Quetzala Carson | TEDxUAlberta [2017]
     
  8. Never be
     indifferent: 400 years of Dutch Colonialism | Gloria Wekker | TEDxAmsterdamWomen [2016]
     
  9. Mad at Mandela | Sisonke Msimang | TEDxSoweto [2015]
