One of the most striking things I've learnt working on cultural violence, sealing & TK: Just 48 people actively stand b/t the extinction of generations of continuous sealing/fishing traditional knowledge on cultural & economic seal processing practices in Newfoundland & Labrador @govnl.bsky.social

The whaling industry was an unexpected player in the fight against slavery. How whale oil and spermaceti contributed to abolition: buff.ly/pLurdeh #history 🗃️
buff.ly
Abolition wasn’t fueled by just moral or economic concerns – the booming whaling industry also helped sink slavery
