Last episode, I mentioned that in London, Ontario, in 2019 a 9-year-old named Lyla Wheeler had launched a petition to rename her street, currently called Plantation Road. This episode, Lyla, now aged nearly thirteen, and her mom Kristin Daley recount the reasons why Lyla campaigned for this name change, how the neighbours reacted, what happened when the wider world heard about it, and why the street's name is still Plantation Road.
I hope you will not be deterred from campaigning for different, better words.
Content note: the episode contains references to enslavement of Black people and a brief description of the Canadian residential school system.
This is an instalment of the Telling Other Stories series, about renaming. Find out more about this episode and get extra information about the topics therein at theallusionist.org/supplantation, where there's also a transcript.

As of late, the focus of the crypto space has been on the wrongdoing of a group of people that used the current state of this technology to take advantage of others and advance their own interests. But what about the victims? Where is the compassion for their loss and the loss of trust within the crypto space?
On this episode of “Money Reimagined,” Michael Casey and Sheila Warren are together again, discussing Sheila’s recent testimony in front of the California state legislature about the current perception of the state of the crypto economy and environment; also, Michaels’ article on CoinDesk journalists who were awarded Polk Awards for the scoop and followups, that led to the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX crypto empire.
