Shattuck was involved in the attempted annexations of Berkeley. He was described at his retirement: "we do now extend to Mr Shattuck the thanks of the Board for the able, untiring and energetic manner in which he has for so long a time discharged his duties among us, and the cordial and uniform kindness and correctness which has always characterized his conduct as a Supervisor and Chairman of this Board." 8 7 Shattuck was a founding member and President of Oakland's Masonic Temple, 1 was President of the Mutual Endowment Association, director of the First National Bank, and involved in the beginning of the Oakland and Berkeley Rapid Transit Company. As one source writes, "With most of the measures which have been from time to time adopted for the improvement of Oakland, has been more or less closely identified." This includes the railroads, the wharfs, the university, utilities, etc. Shattuck and Hillegass ended up owning at least 640 acres of land, and Shattuck was involved in the livery business. 3 Shattuck was the fifth mayor of Oakland. Born in New York, he came to Oakland in 1850 and was one of the early settlers of the San Antonio Ranch near Temescal Creek along with George Blake, William Hillegass, and James Leonard. Francis K Shattuck, courtesy Richard Schwartz by way of SFGate: " Eccentrics, Heroes, and Cutthroats of Old Berkeley Francis Kittredge Shattuck (Ma– September 9, 1898) was a very important figure in early East Bay history. In other words, maybe the unsettling fact of Florida is that what happens here, happens across the United States.” In the afterword, Rivas offers a succinct account of suburbia as the continued legacy of white settler colonialism, including federal laws and initiatives which, taken up and taken advantage of at the local level, made it so. Note the fragility, the shadows, the lawn objects, the white fright. “In this brilliant and often humorous image-text assemblage, what emerges is an uncanny echo of specters and calls: for policing, firearms, and hot tub recommendations to see “we are all humans with the same organs” and to watch out for some suspicious creature doing some kind of harm. Patrick Cottrell, author of Sorry to Disrupt the Peace " Nextdoor in Colonialtown is by turns a documentary on the personal and collective, a treatise on loneliness, a dark comedy of manners, and an extraordinary examination of what it means to live in America." Note: The limited-edition hardcover of this title has sold out this book is now a paperback. By displacing his familiar surroundings, Rivas evokes the broader White imaginary underlying colonialism and suburbanization. The result is at turns absurd and abject, goofy and gothic, paranoid and profound. In Nextdoor in Colonialtown, he pairs photos of the neighborhood with conversations assembled from the area’s posts. Ryan Rivas has lived in Orlando’s Colonialtown North neighborhood for over a decade. But why? According to the rules of natural selection, introspection must come with an evolutionary advantage. And deaf people report using sign language to speak to themselves.Ĭlearly, our inner voices are an inherent part of our minds. It’s also interesting to note that people who stutter out loud say their inner voices speak clearly. Our inner voices have been annoying humans for a long time both the early Christian mystics and Chinese Buddhists were frustrated by their inner voices’ ability to incessantly interrupt their meditation. To say those same words out loud would take close to an hour! One study published in 1990 analyzed people’s rate of inner speech and clocked it at roughly four thousand words per minute. While that might not be a shocking thing to do, it is shocking just how fast we do it. Let’s admit it: we all talk to ourselves.

Fanon enlisted with the Free French forces when he was 18 and joined an Allied convoy during World War II.
