A letter from Jacques Decour [Daniel Dcourdemanche] to his wife and daughter, Saturday, May 30, 1942 [Le Mont-Valérien – Haut lieu de la mémoire nationale, Suresnes. FranceArchives, Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, gift of Brigitte Decourdemanche]

«Vous savez que je m’attendais depuis deux mois à ce qui m’arrive ce matin, aussi ai-je eu le temps de m’y préparer, mais comme je n’ai pas de religion, je n’ai pas sombré dans la méditation de la mort ; je me considère un peu comme une feuille qui tombe de l’arbre pour faire du terreau. La qualité du terreau dépendra de celle des feuilles. Je veux parler de la jeunesse française, en qui je mets tout mon espoir.» – [Bibl.: La vie à en mourir. Lettres de fusillés 1941-1944, Edited by Guy Krivopissko, Éditions Tallandier, Paris, 2003]

THE TMA THEME IN THE BACK OF THE INSTITUTE SPELUNKING STATEMENT AAAAAA

Old art (as you can tell 🧌) and dubious historical setting yet again, and unfortunately I don’t think I’ll ever finish this so posting this for archival purposes

[sissa-arrows]

Just got an ask from someone who wants to stay anonymous asking me why Algeria doesn’t sue and ask for reparation.

It’s simply because France made it impossible. Basically whenever there was a massacre France would burn or hide the proof especially the registers of births and deaths. When they left they also took a lot of archives and they refuse to give us access to those archives. The law actually says that archives must be made fully public after 50 years. Well guess what? The majority of the archives related to Algeria are still not public and its been 61 years. At first they promised to make them public. Then they said they had to check each page before making it public in case there some stuff that should stay classified. Then they decided that if in a box there’s just one single page that says “classified” then no page from said box can be made public. All of that for one simple reason. France voted a law giving a full amnesty for the colonial crimes committed by the French in Algeria. That law means that nobody can be judged for anything they did to Algerians during the war (let alone before the war). The only way for that law to be considered illegal is if the colonial crimes committed by France in Algeria are officially labeled as a crime against humanity. Because amnesty is not valid for a crime against humanity. That’s why they hide the archives because they prove that there was indeed a crime against humanity and that would force France to pay back for what they did.

Basically imagine there’s a murderer and everyone knows he did it he says that he did it but you still need the evidence for the trial… except the murderer has the evidence everyone knows he has them he says he has them but he can choose which one he keeps and which one he shows… France is the murderer in this scenario.

P.S: I talk about Algeria because I’m Algerian and because the situation was very specific but France should pay for ALL its colonial crimes (settler colonialism is very different because it’s a form of colonialism that doesn’t see indigenous people as merchandise or cheap labor they are seen as a threat something to be eradicated)

Move to madrid

glossyblue: hiii, a little part to welcome our new player🤍🤝🏻

Summary: you and kylian are going to live in spain, and you're a little stressed about it.

pairing: kylian mbappe × reader

⋆

You've been with Kylian for three years now, and you couldn't be happier. You've supported him through his entire career, and you're thrilled to see him start a new chapter with Real Madrid. But moving from France to Spain is a big change, and you can't help but feel a little stressed about it.

As you pack up your stuff , you can't help but think about all the memories you've made together. You remember the first time you met, at a club where Kylian was with his friends. You were immediately drawn to his talent on the field and his kind and supportive personality off the field. You struck up a conversation, and before you knew it, you were inseparable. Now, as you prepare to start this new adventure together, you can't help but feel a mix of excitement and nerves. You know that living in a new country will be a big adjustment, but you're confident that you and Kylian can handle anything that comes your way.

As you finish packing, Kylian comes in and wraps his arms around you. 'Hey, are you okay?' he asks, sensing your stress. 'Of course,' you reply, forcing a smile. 'I'm just a little overwhelmed with everything we have to do before the move.' Kylian takes your hand and leads you to the couch. 'Come on, let's take a break,' he says. 'I want to talk to you about something.' You sit down next to him, and he turns to face you. 'I know this move is going to be tough, but I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you,' he says, taking your hands in his. 'You are my everything, and I couldn't have done any of this without you.' Tears well up in your eyes as you listen to him. 'Thank you,' you say, your voice choked with emotion. 'I love you so much, and I'm so excited to start this new chapter with you.' Kylian leans in and kisses you, and you can feel the love and support between you. You know that the move to Spain will be a big change, but with Kylian by your side, you know you can handle anything. As you continue to pack and prepare for the move, you can't help but think about all the funny moments and memories you've shared with Kylian. You remember when he accidentally dyed his hair green before a big game, or when he tried to cook you dinner and ended up burning the pasta. You laugh at these memories and cherish them, knowing that they're just a small part of the incredible journey you're on together.

“You must not wish for your return to France; you would have to march over a hundred thousand corpses. Sacrifice your interest to the peace and happiness of France. History will recognize it. I am not insensitive to the misfortunes of your family... I will gladly contribute to the sweetness and tranquility of your retirement.”

— Napoleon Bonaparte in a letter to the Count of Provence (future Louis XVIII of France)

POINTS TO CONSIDER

France and England have had literal centuries to get married and then divorced again and harbor more hate than a toxic Christian at a pride parade

However, Elias Bouchard is Like That
