#art #history: imagine being such a gifted author that one of your most radical & inventive novels was mainly a product of automatic writing? best known, perhaps, for providing the screenplay that would become alain resnais' 'hiroshima mon amour' - which is not a bad place to start if you've not yet become acquainted with marguerite duras (born #otd in 1914) - she largely escaped acclaim outside of france. this is regrettable.

On TGV back to Paris. 10 mins delay at Marseille and 5 mins delay arriving in Paris. And no cute dog this time 😳
Some cute cows hanging out there
Our train was delayed for 40 mins in the end arriving in Paris... It was a long train ride
In late 1800s, a quiet man with a camera wandered the windswept plains of southwestern #France. His name was Félix Arnaudin, and what he captured was a way of life already fading into memory.
Among his most haunting images were the #shepherds of the Landes, perched on towering wooden stilts known as échasses. Dressed in thick wool cloaks and wide-brimmed hats, these men weren’t performers or curiosities—they were survivors of the bog. #History

Today is the 200th anniversary of the April 17, 1825, document issued by France’s King Charles X recognizing the independence of Haiti after a slave revolt in the colony. But it also imposed a 150 million gold francs debt on the new country as compensation for the economic cost of losing their enslaved labor force. French President Emmanuel Macron, saying the document “subjected the people of Haiti to a heavy financial indemnity,” announced the creation of a joint French-Haitian historical commission to ’’examine our shared past.” But he stopped short of addressing demands for reparations. @AssociatedPress has more.

‘Predictive’ policing tools in France are flawed, opaque, and dangerous.
A new report from @LaQuadrature, now available in English as part of a Statewatch-coordinated project, lays out the risks in detail.
The report finds that these systems reinforce discrimination, evade accountability, and threaten fundamental rights. La Quadrature is calling for a full ban—and we support them.
