Another beautiful day. It's #sunny in the city i live, even though it's January, so today i sat on the bench with my girlfriend #contemplating our #childhoods while sitting in the sun rays. It's a #wonderful experience that i recommend, because it made me realize that childhood feelings don't just vanish because of age, but because we are stuck into a routine of work - home - work, tv - smartphone - laptop etc. You name it. If you want to feel like a kid again, go touch some grass really 🌞

For god’s sake stop. I was in my 20s when this show came out so I was too old to have watched it, but they’ve done it to movies from my childhood. It’s a money grab and this isn’t going to be better or even as good as the original.

Eva the Queen Kitty did not care for the cartoon cats, but I thought it was amusing.

The Magic of Disney World did not allow the big sis to forget about the Mouse’s greed

#Disney & "The Aristocats" vs. ThePoeticCritic & Eva's Disdain

Listen to this episode from Ninety For Chill: The Podcast with CatBusRuss on Spotify. ThePoeticCritic sparingly drops F-Bombs, and because she and her little brother CatBusRuss were less than two weeks removed from their Disney World vacation, it made sense to hold off on some lengthier recordings to see how Disney will rule the world in 2022. There is of course some Goldblum talk, but the Mouse dominates the show with his rides and movies. Our host also takes on Katie Holmes attempt to play crazy while Charlie Hunnam tries to be a spoiled Yankee in "Abandon". Before that, CatBusRuss address his fascination about "The Aristocats" backpack/purse sold in Orlando. He reviews the animated movie and discusses his trip to the most dangerous place on earth, Florida. Thanks Ron Desantis for another family member's Covid diagnosis.

📢NEW BOOK ALERT!

🔖 Dive into the hidden layers of #ColdWar #childhoods with '(An)Archive', ed. by Mnemo ZIN.

🔓Unlock forgotten narratives, reshaping our understanding of #history & hinting at the futures it might have held.

What was it like growing up during the #ColdWar? What can #childhood memories tell us about state socialism and its aftermath? How can these intimate memories complicate history and redefine possible futures? These questions are at the heart of the '(An)Archive'. This edited collection stems from a collaboration between academics and artists who came together to collectively remember their own experiences of growing up on both sides of the ‘#IronCurtain’.

Looking beyond official #historicalarchives, the book gathers #memories that have been erased or forgotten, delegitimized or essentialized, or, at best, reinterpreted nostalgically within the dominant frameworks of the East-West divide.

(An)Archive: Childhood, Memory, and the Cold War

What was it like growing up during the Cold War? What can childhood memories tell us about state socialism and its aftermath? How can these intimate memories complicate history and redefine possible futures? These questions are at the heart of the (An)Archive: Childhood, Memory, and the Cold War. This edited collection stems from a collaboration between academics and artists who came together to collectively remember their own experiences of growing up on both sides of the ‘Iron Curtain’. Looking beyond official historical archives, the book gathers memories that have been erased or forgotten, delegitimized or essentialized, or, at best, reinterpreted nostalgically within the dominant frameworks of the East-West divide. And it reassembles and (re)stores these childhood memories in a form of an ‘anarchive’: a site for merging, mixing, connecting, but also juxtaposing personal experiences, public memory, political rhetoric, places, times, and artifacts. Collectively, these acts and arts of collective remembering tell about possible futures―and the past’s futures―what life during the Cold War might have been but also what it has become.

A pleasure to see cover from my upcoming co-edited book on precarities of #childhoods from the printers! #psychology #psychotherapy #psychoanalysis

A short introduction - again, for I have jumped from somewhere to here 🙈
I'm a #PhDstudent in #anthropology in Tampere university, #socialsciences
In my #PhDresearch I'm working with #children and their #families to find out what kind of #childhoods are available in Finnnish #receptioncenters.

My academic steps have not been that straight forward: I did my bachelor in #EarlyChildhoodEducation, master in #GenderStudies and for PhD I jumped to #anthropology.
