Episode 321 features Teju Adisa-Farrar, the founder and co-creator of the Black Fiber & Textile Network and the creator/host of the Black Material Geographies podcast, alongside Layla K. Feghali, the founder of River Rose Remembrance, a Plantcestral & Ancestral Re-Membrance practitioner, cultural worker, author & story re-collector (archivist). Teju is currently the Director of Outreach & Programs for the Fibers Fund, and co-creates with members of BFTN. Layla's book, The Land In Our Bones, showcases an exploration of the herbs & land-based medicines of Lebanon & Cana'an, highlighting the power of culture's relationship with land.  “I think of culture as a way of relating to your environment, including those around you, making sense & beliefs based on your environment, & creating a sense of a shared identity based on the place that you are in. With the creation of colonialism & the transatlantic slave trade, and this very globalized neoliberal world, now culture is less connected to a place & more connected to what and how we consume.” -Teju “I feel like that relational way of existing or of relating is kind of what ultimately yields or inspires I guess what folks would call a sustainable way of navigating things. Because it requires a conversation beyond the self and with the entirety of the living world that I dwell in and that I'm a part of and that I impact and that impact me, and the ways that they're alive.” -Layla  MAY THEME — Connecting With Nature To Unveil Ways To Reimagine Futures As the sustainability conversation continues to evolve, we often will hear mention of regionality, or the importance of thinking more locally in supply chains or manufacturing. While this is a great aspect to explore further, it only touches the surface of the depth connected to geography, location and place. This week's guests each approach education and storytelling through place-oriented lenses. While they are each uniquely different, these geography-oriented avenues teach us so much about what is often missing from the conversation. As we've explored through various angles this season, culture is integral to sustainability. Our guests this week shed light on the many ways that culture can teach us about land, history and legacy. How understanding the land, its history and the cultures woven into it, can lead us toward restorative justice and regenerative practices. As one of our guests so beautifully writes in her book: “The real focus of sustainability should be to recenter these Indigenous technologies rooted in multigenerational relationships to place, and teach younger generations how to harvest in ways that ensure the life of these plants will not only continue but spread per this ancestral knowledge.” Links from the conversation: Teju's Website Black Fiber & Textile Network River Rose Remembrance Website Follow Teju on Instagram Follow Layla on Instagram

Today we talk about the US midterms, the Twitter Files, ChatGPT and the attempted Reichsbürger coup in Germany. The post BFTN 112 – The Twitter Files appeared first on The BS Filter.

Who is responsible for the terrorist attack on the Russian Nord pipelines? Why did Boris Johnson stopped Ukraine from peace talks with Russia in April 2022? Does it have anything to do with the two largest US oil companies have earned more than $30bn in three months? Why did "Progressive Democrats" withdraw their letter calling for more diplomatic efforts with Russia? Can you tell someone is a psychopath by the way they engage in contagious yawning? Americans - stop complaining about violence against your politicians. The post BFTN 111 – Nord Cui Bono appeared first on The BS Filter.

I was musing, in the last episode, about whether or not sanctions have ever worked. Are they even legal? Over the last two decades, international economic sanctions have become a central instrument in global governance. Today we explore the success rate and the real intentions of sanctions as a tool of Total War. The post BFTN 107 – Do Economic Sanctions Work? appeared first on The BS Filter.

TOTC TAPS INTO HIP HOP POP AND SOCIAL CULTURE

The war continues, 60 plus days. The US and EU and their allies, eg Australia, continue to “support” Ukraine by giving them some kind of military aid. But the question is whether or not this is going to result in less Ukrainian deaths... or more? The post BFTN 106 – Pimps Of War appeared first on The BS Filter.

Yesterday Putin announced he was starting a “special military operation” in Ukraine. He said his goal was to “demilitarize” but not occupy the country, and that any countries that intervene in Ukraine invasion will face consequences. He also gave an hour long speech the day before, explaining his thinking behind they invasion. As usual, his speech has been completely misrepresented by the Western media. Today we're joined by Trevor Bell to break down the events of the last week. The post BFTN 104 – Russia and Ukraine P2 appeared first on The BS Filter.

If you only get your news from the mainstream media, you've probably heard that the world's about to end because of "Russian aggression". Of course, as always, that's a highly filtered version of the story. To understand what's happening with Russia and Ukraine, we really need to understand what happened at the end of the Cold War, with Russia, NATO and the United States. On this episode, we delve into the history to we can understand the present. We talk about the infamous "one inch" promise and the how the USA has slowly increased pressure on Russia. As always, this isn't a story about the good guys versus the bad guys. It's a story about history and nations trying to protect their interests.
