Trinidad, not rn. Ugh

The day actually makes no sense to me. I’m time confused at the moment.

Communities across the northern Caribbean are dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. The storm has left many without homes, power or communication. n.pr/43BQf1A

Nobel Prize-winning author Wole Soyinka said that his non-resident visa to enter the United States had been rejected, adding that he believes it may be because he recently criticized US President Donald Trump. https://cnn.it/47eh4v5

The hurricane deven start yet and Digicel a play hanky panky already.

Tropical Storm Melissa is barely moving through the Caribbean, and that’s exactly what makes it so dangerous.

Tropical Storm Melissa is forecast to become a major hurricane by the weekend. Hurricane/Tropical Storm watches & warnings are in effect for Jamaica & Haiti. Heavy rain & flooding expected. Track the storm: [Article URL] #Hurricane #News

Jamaica really have a heart. Them a send people pon online school when people have to make preparations for a storm. What the flipping hell?

"This is not the first time Puerto Rico has been used as a military springboard. Its bases have served as logistical hubs for interventions across the hemisphere, from the US invasion of the Dominican Republic in 1965, to Grenada in 1983, and Panama in 1989."

Tropical Storm #Melissa is brooding in the Caribbean Sea south of Hispaniola 🌀 It’s future is very uncertain right now, but the NHC are forecasting continued strengthening, possibly to a major hurricane. Residents in Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic need to watch this one.

Sharing again in case anyone is able to help with this goal.

Such a bullshit statement that gives us Caribbean people nothing much, and even then, Trinidad and Tobago opted out of signing onto this docile position. Moreover, this statement legitimizes in some sense, narco-trafficking by the mere mention of it into reality.

To characterize chattel slavery as genocide is to suggest, to me at least, that you think the language ‘chattel slavery’ needed help in validating its horrors. Slavery is already such a terror to me, and I think by trying to breathe meaning into it by calling it a genocide is wrong.

All these articles — none naming who he is from the get-go, and none saying why he’s stepping down, leaving us to create and imagine what the answer to those things ought to be.

I’ve been in a state of disenchantment with the academy since October 2023. The question I return to is what can it do instead of what can’t it do. Not much seems possible with and within the academy.

I really do hate who and what become subjects and objects in our conversations about the ‘Cuban Missile Crisis.’ The language never feels careful. Agency is assigned haphazardly and the descriptions fail to capture the actual powers and the subservients to said powers.
