Hi! It seems like fireworks and firecrackers were a very common item in Santa letters, to the extent that they’re often thrown in at the end along with fruit like a ‘default’ Santa gift. If you know, why and when did fireworks stop being a go-to present for kids to ask from Santa?

This is actually something I keep meaning to dig into more.

It was almost exclusively a Southern practice (particularly in the Deep South), but was so universal there that it's honestly more unusual for Southern kids to NOT ask for fireworks than to ask for them. I'm not sure if there were cultural aspects to this or was just because it makes more sense to give them where it's actually warm enough to shoot them off.

They seem to have been given primarily as a stocking-stuffers, as they are almost always listed alongside the standard fruit, nuts and candy.

From what I've seen, requests for fireworks dropped off sharply in the early 60s, though I as of yet haven't found any convincing reason as to why.

That's a bit early to coincide with the general shift away from little boys asking for firearms, which seems (from my observations at least) to be largely correlated with the advent of video games in the 70s and 80s.

It's possible it may have been a natural result of child safety standards evolving beyond the 'sure, give your six-year-old explosives, what's the worst that could happen?' that seems to have been the dominant attitude for the first half of the 20th century.

If anyone from the South has any insight on this I'd love to hear it.

#asks #small side tangent - #the amount of children who died from tetanus caused by powder burns from toy guns in the early 20th century is mindboggling #I've worked on several large projects documenting African American cemeteries in Florida #and whenever you come across a school aged child who died of tetanus it's about a 90% chance it was a toy gun #it was so common it's mentioned in medical textbooks on gunshot wounds as 'toy pistol tetanus' #southern culture #mississippi #louisiana #alabama #christmas

I've never been able to touch Beloved after finding out what happens in it. Especially the fact that it's based on a real incident. Which was a common occurrence among enslaved Black women.

Thinking about enslaved women killing their own children to save them from the horrors of slavery; the only way they had left to save their babies from being subjected to the kind of unthinkable brutality that left the mothers themselves seeking death as release. Thinking of Margaret Garner slitting her own toddler's throat while the slave catchers hammered at the doors, and then turning the butcher's knife on her remaining terrified, pleading little children. Thinking of her hurling her baby daughter off the slave ship and, though her own attempt at drowning herself failed, greeting the news that her baby had gone to a watery grave "with frantic joy". Remembering Eman Basher, running with her children from end to end through Gaza, watching them run out of food, water and shelter, seeing their friends and family and neighbours murdered every which way, tweeting hysterically whether she should kill her children because it was the only way she had left to "keep them safe".

The horrifying depth of a mother's love and tenderness, dear God. The unimaginable brutality and cruelty that forced their hands.

That quote found scrawled on the wall of a cell in a Nazi concentration camp is never far from my mind: "If God exists, He will have to beg my forgiveness."

#sometimes feel unreal to be part of this species #humans arent the only animal who are cruel for cruelty's sake #any creature that comes close to our level of intelligence is known for their sadism #but they don't perceive the continuity of their species. they live from moment to moment and then die #humans have to bear the burden of all we have ever been #all we are #and will ever be #tw child murder #tw child death #tw shoah #tw slavery #black history #gaza genocide #black african genocide #maternal love #toni morrison #knee of huss

Modern Day Shorts #18

This is the lovely Theresa Kachindamoto, Inkosi of the Dedza District in the country of Malawi. In current day times, and like she has always been, Kachindamoto is a woman on a mission. She's a women's and children's rights activist who advocates for the education of children, abolishment of child marriage, and equality of young women in several African nations.

She is the first female African chief. She was simply informed one day as a college student that she was made senior chief of the Dedza District. Returning home she witnessed first hand the chaos of child marriage and intense poverty plaguing Malawi. Malawi itself has one of the highest child marriage rates in the world.

Kachindamoto took her new role incredibly seriously, and got to work immediately. She's annulled thousands of child marriages in the past years, through commands, lawmaking, and cultural authority.

Education of children, especially young girls is very important to Kachindamoto. The woman has created parent ran networks that help keep children in schools as well, and her work doesn't stop in her home district. She is a strong activist. Despite receiving death threats and resistance, Kachindamoto refuses to back down.

She plans to be chief until her death, and fight until that happens.

Wanted to watch The Snoopy Show while I was high and ep.1 has a joke about Snoopy being in the French foreign legion.

As Omar Sakr wrote: "Even in this cartoon world / There is a desert full of dogs / Soldiers and guns, and somewhere / Out of frame, Arabs being put down."

#kinda shocked because the 40 minute special about Franklin was very aware of its portrayal of an african american child #and then the Tv show was like. 'casually mentions snoopy being in the FFL like that doesn't suggest some very bad things' #and i know it's not that deep but im making it that deep because im tired. if youre going to involve the military in media #i want you to have a damn good reason for it or i want you to gtfo
