John James Audubon (1785-1851)
Was pioneering ornithologist & painter, known for cataloguing avifauna in landmark publication Birds of America.
⚠️He was a slaver, grew up in French colony plantation & has marred scientific reputation.
Someone's plantation . . . .. too bad it isn't this one.

my favourite part of cave story was when curly found the colons safe and sound in the plantation and took them with her what do you mean it's not canon #CaveStory
One Hundred & One Dalmatians ★★★
"We'll have a plantation. A Dalmatian plantation!"
The craftsmanship of #Disney animators back in 1961 was pretty darn impressive. A family movie with a fairly disturbing plot, featuring one of the studio's most iconic villains, Cruella de Vil.
Aux vergers citoyens!
Dans le cadre de sa politique Biodiversité et agriculture urbaine, #Rennes et des associations partenaires proposent des évènements autour de la plantation de vergers. C'est le 20 mars! #DémocratieAlimentaire
And yet, if you grow up in CA or visit missions as a tourist, you'll just see them as pretty old buildings, a cute part of CA heritage sitting at the center of every major town up and down the coast
Kind of like how plantations are romanticized in the South

Louis was the son of a Black woman and plantation owner Emanuel de Correvont. The name of his mother is unknown. He had a sister in the Netherlands named Lisette, who is almost certainly watching over het brother's deathbed in this drawing.
Introduction aren't needed but for her, she is the exception Myra Delilah Horton, Clan Venture. A wealthy former plantation owner's daughter. What a power she wields #vamily
And so much this: the insistence that Indonesia is ‘far’, ‘remote’, or ‘little-studied’ [cue ‘To you’ GIF] when land grab and violence on a mass scale has for decades enabled the sweatshops, palm oil plantations, and mines that give you yr soap, cheap clothes and jewelry. Srsly.
Shout-out to people locked up and their loved ones this year. Special S/O to the #vaughn17 who have been kept in solitary since their revolt 4 years ago. #freethemall #firetotheplantations follow @phlbailfund for info on the V17
Having so much fun planning for my "Black Women Writers: Power and the Production of the Plantation" class.
For this week we'll read an excerpt of Jackson alongside James and listen to Nikki Crosby's haunting soca song about the figure of La Diablesse.

New brawler idea concept:
Billy is a plantation-loving farmer (especially apples) his gun fires a blast of fruit that can make you smeared and sticky, he has a botanical sister, I think this is family
