Get the sasko mug.Sankofa viewing — Sankofa is an African word from the Akan tribe in Ghana. The literal translation of the word and it associated symbol is “it is not taboo to fetch what is at risk of being left behind.”
In contemporary parlance a Sankofa viewing is going back and watching to prior episodes of a series that you are bingeing to both refresh your memory and to see if the series is well written.
By tracing the backstories of the major characters you will easily be able to tell if the story arcs are well planned; or, if a group of writers are just throwing some third act plot twist shite against a wall to see if it will stick!!!!!
For practicing this art I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE WALKING DEAD OR ANY OF ITS CLONES because you will be terribly disappointed by the writing and a group of writers were throwing a lot of third act plot twist shite against the wall to see if it would stick!!!!!!!
The Sopranos, on the other hand, will not disappoint and rewards rewatching, They were telling you where it was going from episode one.
Amazingly, when you get good at this with binge watching visual mediums, it may be useful to read a book or two. Most good books reward a Sankofa Reading. After all, isn’t that why writing was invented?
But, ya gotta start somewhere.

Get the saskatchewan mug.Saska is awesome and totally chill with almost everything. She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and will stick by you no matter what! Saska has the biggest imagination of the world dreaming up things from dragons to cars. She has a wicked sense of humour and is so fun to be around. Even though she may not feel this way about herself all the time she is the most pretty girl inside and out. A Saska is always outgoing and will try everything while also being really talented at all sports. She is wild all the way through and doesn't care what anyone thinks of her, dressing in whatever suits and wearing her hair without a care! She never judges others for who they are and never gives up in anything. Saska is not a common name meaning she is unique and one in a million and anyone would be lucky to meet a Saska at least once.
Boy 1: Woah who is she?
Boy 1 friend: That's Saska
Boy 1: She looks she free and wild compared to all the stereotypical girls
Boy 1 friend: That would be Saska for you
Boy 1 friend: That's Saska
Boy 1: She looks she free and wild compared to all the stereotypical girls
Boy 1 friend: That would be Saska for you
