I did all my laundry this weekend, washed everything and put it away. On Sunday night I pulled a pair of shorts out to wear to bed, and I got a distinct vibe of “oh, no, not this again” from my clothes. Like they were tired of being worn and wanted to just rest in the drawers for a while.
My TV show and movie this week are on the same topic, Little Bird. It’s a Canadian drama series and a documentary about the series. They are both about the Sixties Scoop.
The Scoop,[1] was a period in which a series of policies were enacted in Canada that enabled child welfare authorities to take, or "scoop up," Indigenous children from their families and communities for placement in foster homes, from which they would be adopted by white families.[2] Despite its name referencing the 1960s, the Sixties Scoop began in the mid-to-late 1950s and persisted into the 1980s.[2][3] It is estimated that a total of 20,000 Indigenous children were taken from their families and fostered or adopted out primarily to white middle-class families as part of the Sixties Scoop.[4][5] en.wikipedia.org/...
That whole Wikipedia piece is worth reading and it has a lot of links and references that are worth reading as well.
Both of these are on PBS
