Looking through the tags of LRB and someone asked if there is a British equiv of AAVE and the answer is yes, yes there is

It's called Multicultural London English/Multicultural British English which is a mishmash of cockney slang Afro-Caribbean slang (think Jamaican, Trinidad & Tobago, etc), African slang (the ones the come to mind are Nigerian and Ghanaian), as well as little hints of slang from other immigrant communities. But predominantly a mix of working class cockney and black community influence.

This is the accent I grew up with bc I'm from south London, and a lot of the words, phrases and general accent quirks that tend to get taken the piss out of by non-Brits comes from MBE which is why it annoys me greatly lmao

#JUST TO CLARIFY #I am not black #I am white but come from south london and from a working class family #and the examples I give come from the demographic of people I grew up and went to school with

Secrets We Kept Three Women of Trinidad - Kyrstal A. Sital

The Bread the Devil Knead- Lisa Allen- Agostini

When We Were Birds- Ayanna L. Banwo

Archipelago - Monique Roffey

From the books I have read throughout the school year I learned that mainly up north in Trinidad has a lot of mountains. Up north in Trinidad is considered to be more rural and is supposed to have more mountains. All the stories I read this year were a mix of rural and suburban . I remember especially in the book “Secrets We Kept Three Women of Trinindad” by Krystal A Sital the main character Ayra was always talking about running through Shiva’s farm. The story “Secrets We Kept Three Women of Trinindad” by Krystal A Sital was considered to be more rural. “The Bread The Devil Knead '' the story took place in the city, the capital of Trinindad, Port of Spain.

One thing that I have learned from these stories is that abuse was normalized back then, especially in foriegn countries like Trinidad. In three out four of the books I read the main topic seemed to be the abuse women faced from family and or loved ones. The three books that showed abuse being a main topic were “The Bread the Devil Knead '' by Lisa Allen- Agostini, “Secrets We Kept Three Women of Trinidad '' by Kyrstal A. Sital, and “When We Were Birds” by Ayanna L. Banwo. In “The Bread the Devil Knead '’ Ayra, one of the main characters, was abused her whole life and she thought the man she married would be her escape but he soon started to beat her too. In “Secrets We Kept Three Women of Trinindad” Krystal learned that her grandfather isn’t as perfect as she thought and learned his history of his abuse once he was sick. Lastly, “When We Were Birds” with Yejide it wasn’t physical abuse it was more verbal from her mother.

One thing I learned about the food is that curry is really big in their food. I remember a quote from the first book I read that said, "Trinis hah de bess curry, ..." in the book “Secrets We Kept Three Women of Trinindad” by Krystal A Sital. I have also learned that they have pride with their food. There is always a competition on who makes the best curry in the Caribbean. Something else I learned about the culture was how important and fun it is to be a part of Carnival. Carnival is a festival they have in Trinidad that is similar to the one in Brazil. It is celebrated in Febuary. Lastly, I learned that they speak a certain way. They speak Trinindadian Patois. Trinindadian Patois is Trinidadian English Creole which is spoken all through Trinindad. Their accents may be similar to Jamaicans and Guyanese accents but their slang is completely different.

One thing that I learned from each book was growth in different ways. In the book “Secrets We Kept Three Women of Trinindad” by Krystal A Sital I saw the women in Krytal’s life finally be able to use their voice and speak up about the abuse that her grandfather put them through. In the story “The Bread the Devil Knead '' by Lisa Allen- Agostini the main character Alethea finally had the courage to run from her abuser and that takes growth and maturity. Lastly, in the book “When We Were Birds” by Ayanna L. Banwo Yejide was able to get over her mother’s death and find love.

Something I learned about myself while reading was that I relate to some of the experiences the characters went through. For example I relate with Krystal finding out her grandfather isn’t so perfect. My grandfather passed when I was in third grade because he was an alcoholic , he hid it so perfectly never even knew he drank. I relate with Alethea not necessarily because I have been through abuse but because I finally built up courage to leave a toxic friend . Lastly, I relate with Yejide. After a few deaths in my family I felt lost but I was able to find self love and that is the best type of love. I grew and I am strong just like these characters.

“Reflections on a Year of Reading trinidad & tobago Literature”

Archipelago- Monique Roffey

The stars and the blackness between them- Junauda Petrus

When I had the option to pick a country I chose the one most similar to me, one I can resonate with. Trinidad and Tobago. I chose this because my relatives are from there and I am half Trindadian. I thought it would be fun to learn more about it. While reading about Trinidad & Tobago literature, I learned a lot about how people from the Caribbean are passionate about adventure, and how hard it is for change. I learned how resilient my people are. One of the books I read was about an adventure between dad and daughter. It was eye-opening how the bond was between the two. I was happy to see it. There was also a dog in the book and I like that add-on. The second book I read was about a girl moving from the Caribbean to the States. She had a girlfriend and didn't want to separate. It was an adjustment but the love was never lost, and I appreciate seeing how strong the bond was between the two. reading these books showed me unity between the people who love each other. and how far people will go, also the struggle in between showing all the ups and downs

What I learned about life from Archipelago: I learned that adventure is key, regardless of the situation. and to make the journey fun for everyone around. The quote “ he looks at his daughter and says, we are going to have some fun today, my mermaid” (archipelago 163) shows exactly that. The father is trying to mask the situation with something better for her. I think the most important thing I learned was family, to keep the ones you love close in the face of danger. in the quote ”…how ten bucks is all you need to moor next to millionaires,…” (Archipelago page 173) you can see how they didn't need much to persevere.

What I learned about life from The stars and the blackness between them: I learned that love is so strong, “ I am crying so hard, my body is shutter and breath and wet with tears. My glasses fog up, and I wiped them with my shirt…” (The stars and the blackness between them page. 3 ) shows so much emotion which is so valid, separating from someone you thought you'd be able to be with for life. Also when reading these books I have seen how much stress on grammar doesn't really matter, like the slang inside these books makes you understand it more like when they say "ain't" it gives it more oomph.

I learned that I don't like independent reading, I have to really enjoy the book in order to be sucked in. I enjoyed the

The Stars and the blackness between them by Junauda Petrus it was an lgbtq+ book and showed so much passion for love. it was a nice read I was just lazy, I feel like I don't like reading when it is assigned I like to free read. hopefully ill enjoy it more because I'm sure there be way more reading in college. when doing this I felt drained it wasn't my favorite. I like the concept though.

All the 2022 World Cup Songs (Updating)

New Post has been published on https://medianwire.com/all-the-2022-world-cup-songs-updating/

All the 2022 World Cup Songs (Updating)

The FIFA Men’s World Cup, one of the biggest sporting events in the world, is set to kick off Nov. 20 in Qatar. As has been tradition for many years now, a select number of songs soundtrack the global soccer event, in which 32 teams — representing different countries — participate and, in the end, one is crowned the World Cup champion.

Songs such as Ricky Martin‘s “Cup of Life,” the official song of the 1998 event held in France, and Shakira‘s “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” for the 2010 World Cup in Africa have become anthems for soccer fans, and given the event’s popularity, they’ve also had a presence on the Billboard charts. “Waka Waka” peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated July 3, 2010, while Martin’s euphoric “Cup of Life” peaked at No. 45 on the Hot 100 in 1998.

So far, a number of songs tied to this year’s World Cup have been released, with a few being part of the official FIFA soundtrack and others that aren’t but are still worthy of a mention.

In April, FIFA released the first single, titled “Hayya Hayya (Better Together),” from the official soundtrack. The uplifting track, featuring Trinidad Cardona, Davido and Aisha, fuses R&B and reggae influences. Four months later, the football federation released the second song from the soundtrack titled “Arhbo,” with Latin star Ozuna and French Congolese rapper Gims. “Arhbo” is a local slang word for “welcome” in Qatar and comes from the Arabic word “Marhaba.” For the first time, the tournament’s soundtrack will feature a multi-song collection, with international artists “showcasing diverse musical genres that span the world, setting the tone for a truly global celebration,” according to FIFA.

Below, find an updating list of the 2022 World Cup-themed songs that have been released so far.

TAB

..is the IATA code for Scarborough International Airport in Trinidad and Tobago.

Scarborough in western Tobago was the Island's capital before it was unified with Trinidad, changing the capital to Port of Spain, and remains the Island's pre-eminent cultural centre.

BOLO: Batgirl (Girl-TAB),* Chrome Tab, Firefox Tab, Tabs Chocolate, and Guitar Tabs

where Girl and Fox are synonyms for Guitar, Chrome is similar to Spice, Fire can be Girl, Shoes or Ki and Chocolate is Choko. 🦇👩‍💻🍫🎸🇹🇹👀

Disambiguation: Scarborough, UK (GBSCA) and Tabs (slang for Vicodin or LSD.)

*But see also: Batman, an airport in Turkey (BAL), Baton Rouge, a major port in the US (USBTR or, inf, GBR) and Batumi, a port in Georgia (GEBUS).

[Thought prompt: an egregious type from whom I can never escape. Hmm. 🤔]

Pussers Rum Deptford Dockyard Reserve 54.5%

Pussers Rum Deptford Dockyard Reserve is a 2021 limited edition of Pusser’s Rum. It is bottled at a “Navy Strength” of 54.5% ABV.

Pussers Rum is produced by Demerara Distillers Ltd in Guyana and is named after the Royal Navy Slang for a purser, a ship’s supply officer. For more than 300 years sailors of the Royal Navy were issued a daily rum ration or “tot”, a highly welcome daily comfort when one was away from home for many months. The Rum Ration was abolished on the 31st July 1970 (“The Black Day”) and the Pusser’s Rum name quietly lay dormant until 1979 when the entrepreneur Charles Tobias sought to resurrect the Pusser’s Rum tradition. Tobias managed to obtain the rights and the blending information from the Admiralty, set up Pussers Rum Ltd on Tortola and, in 1980, began selling Pusser’s Rum to the public for the very first time. In return The Royal Navy Sailor’s Fund, a naval charity more commonly called the “Tot Fund” receives a substantial donation from the sale of each bottle of British Navy Pusser’s Rum.

Pussers Rum Deptford Dockyard Reserve is named after the important naval dockyard and base which is situated on the River Thames and operated between the 16th and 19th centuries. The base also comprised the HM Victualling Yard which was responsible supplying the Navy with food, tobacco, beer, medical supplies, clothing and, of course, rum. “Empire Rums” were sourced from British Navy rum suppliers from around the Empire including Demerara (Guyana), Trinidad, Barbados and Jamaica. The rums would be blended an aged for a further 2 years prior to being put into cask for distribution throughout the Navy. The yard had some 32 vats holding over 250,00 gallons of rum. There is an excellent article about the Navy’s vatting system at Cocktailwonk.com.

Pussers Rum Deptford Dockyard Reserve is a a blend of aged, high-ester distillates from Caribbean countries in Great Britain’s naval past.
