#JeChieDansLaSeineLe23Juin : pourquoi des milliers de personnes appellent-elles à déféquer dans le fleuve ce jour-là ?

Le hashtag #JeChieDansLaSeineLe23Juin est devenu viral depuis ce 23 mai.

Sur X (anciennement Twitter), des milliers d’internautes ont appelé les Français à faire leurs besoins dans la Seine lors du lancement des Jeux Olympiques 2024.

#JeChieDansLaSeineLe23Juin . Voilà le hashtag fleuri qui est apparu sur X (anciennement Twitter). Mais pourquoi les internautes appellent-ils à déféquer dans le fleuve ?

"C’est à leur tour de se plonger dans notre merde"

Ce jeudi 23 mai, la maire de Paris a assuré qu’elle se baignerait dans la Seine en amont du coup d’envoi des Jeux olympiques de Paris 2024.

Cette baignade se fera également en présence du préfet de police de Paris Laurent Nuñez et du préfet de région Marc Guillaume, qui ont été invités à piquer une tête. Concernant la présence du président Emmanuel Macron rien n’est moins sûr.

Suite à son annonce, des milliers d’internautes ont appelé, pour ceux qui le désirent, à déféquer dans la Seine le jour de sa baignade : " Ils nous ont plongés dans la merde, c’est à leur tour de se plonger dans notre merde ", peut-on lire sur X. Un slogan repris et devenu viral depuis.

Sur le réseau social, les blagues en tout genre se multiplient. S’agit-il d’une simple moquerie ? Ou alors une volonté de décrédibiliser les propos d’Anne Hidalgo sur l’assainissement de la Seine ?

Des calculs très précis pour les non parisiens qui souhaitent participer

Une affiche a même été créée pour l’occasion par un internaute : " Crotte en Seine, samedi 23 juin ".

\ud83d\udca9 CROTTE EN SEINE 2024 \ud83d\udca9 Le dimanche 23 juin on vous attend nombreux pour venir chier dans la Seine ! \ud83d\udccdPont Marie (4e arrondissement) \ud83d\udcc6 Le 23 juin 2024 \ud83c\udf9f\ufe0f Sans réservation, accès libre #JeChieDansLaSeineLe23Juin pic.twitter.com/ASwqmPHmCM — L'ÂNE KROKRO (@Abdokro) May 23, 2024

D’autres qui n’habitent pas la capitale, sont même allés jusqu’à faire des calculs très pointus pour arriver à leurs fins le jour J, comme ce "troll".

Le débit moyen de la Seine est de 2km/h Si vous habitez à Rouen (240km de Paris par la Seine), il faudra chier 120 heures (soit 5 jours) avant le 23 juin En chiant dans la Seine le 18 juin, vos étrons atteindront Macron et Annie Dingo le 23 juin \ud83e\udd21 #JeChieDansLaSeineLe23Juin https://t.co/QnIW3lHFs6 pic.twitter.com/1pXEkaNMxg — Débunkeur des gogoles (@Debunk_gogoles) May 23, 2024

Bien vu et merci à ML, qui nous rappelle que Internet est une tribune inespérée pour tous les bildé. Ici, ils sont persuadés que la Seine coule depuis son embouchure , puis s'évapore totalement pour n'être plus qu'un petit filet vers et se termine à sa source. Les même qui pensent qu'il est facile de faire un petit tunnel pour aller en Chine puisque la terre est plate.

Un autre (soupir)

La Poste pourrait en mettre une restante au bord de la Seine , et la France entière pourrait participer , et envoyer les colis , sans signature à l'arrivée .....

si vous faites dans la Seine a Rouen vous pourrez attendre tout le temps que vous voudrez, jamais rien n'atteindra Paris....il faudrait inverser le sens du fleuve pour ca!

In ‘Rebel Girl,’ Kathleen Hanna revisits riot grrrl — and puts it to rest

Kathleen Hanna's memoir, "Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk,” is an unflinching portrait of her life before, during, and after riot grrrl.

When punk icon Kathleen Hanna pictures her emotional baggage, she sees a “40-piece Samsonite set in multicolor” trailing behind her. At least she did until she wrote her new book, “Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk.”

The outspoken frontwoman of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre is no stranger to using writing as a vehicle for catharsis and calls to action. As one of the most prominent figures in riot grrrl — the 1990s underground feminist-punk movement — Hanna’s lyricism has helped empower generations of women to unabashedly assert themselves within their artistic communities and reject any label, stereotype, or violence thrust upon them. But not even the most pointed punk tune can ship off 40 suitcases’ worth of trauma like a 300-page memoir.

“Writing this book was like putting all of that baggage into the Dr. Shrink machine and shrinking it down,” she says. “I could just be like, ‘OK, I’m not dragging this [expletive] behind me anymore.’ Here, I can hand it to somebody and now it’s their problem.”

Hanna will make a direct handoff at the Wilbur on Tuesday , where she’ll sit down for a discussion with writer and Harvard professor Imani Perry. Together they’ll delve into the book’s unflinching portrait of Hanna’s life before, during, and after riot grrrl. Admittedly, the movement is a topic that she was eager to document so she doesn’t have to explain its origins “for the rest of my [expletive] life.”

Kathleen Hanna (center) performs alongside Bikini Kill bandmates Tobi Vail (left) and Erica Dawn Lyle at the Hollywood Palladium in 2019.

Instead of writing her memoir chronologically, Hanna jotted down memories as they surfaced, transferring her multicolor “baggage” to a rainbow of Post-It notes, then TextEdit (“like a jerk!” she chides, acknowledging her odd choice of word processor). After writing over 600 pages of material, Hanna instructed her editor to “use a butcher knife, not a scalpel” to halve the book. What remained was a collection of raw vignettes that display a throughline of defiance and vulnerability linking every stage of Hanna’s life. (She might publish the leftover stories as essays or use them for inspiration in the television world, a field that Hanna says she wouldn’t mind exploring down the line.)

Advertisement

Many of the vignette titles stem from Hanna’s own shorthand for her life’s defining moments. “My First Foray Into Performance Art” recalls the time a young Hanna spit a mouthful of Frosted Flakes into the face of her father, whom she describes as callous and abusive; “Benjamin Franklin’s Glasses” explains how her offhand graffiti on pal Kurt Cobain’s wall (“Kurt smells like Teen Spirit”) accidentally shaped Nirvana’s breakthrough hit.

But where many music memoirs devolve into digressions about who’s-who trivia and lavish lifestyles, “Rebel Girl” transforms Hanna’s blunt riot grrrl lyrics into a three-dimensional person with a thousand reasons to raise hell. Hanna’s memoir isn’t about misogyny, per se; it’s just impossible to flesh out her career without addressing how discrimination impacted her development as an artist.

“To me, it’s the best job on the planet, but you’re also facing sexual harassment,” Hanna explains. “And you don’t have any HR to talk to about it, because you work at a different place every single night, so you can’t ask Kevin to move his [expletive] desk. Because there’s 8,000 Kevins and there’s no desk.”

The cover of "Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk" by Kathleen Hanna.

Hanna’s firsthand experiences with sexual violence and stalking represent only part of the problem. Windows into her time with Bikini Kill in particular reveal how many hurdles women must clear to become safe and welcome members of their artistic communities. Hanna recalls the first time she heard women referred to as “coat racks,” a degrading term from the hardcore scene that implies women belong on the edge of mosh pits, dutifully clutching their boyfriends’ jackets, rather than in the center of the action. In another vignette, she details Bikini Kill’s decision to raise ticket prices at their shows — not for more profit, but because male hecklers would happily fork over $5 to hurl junk at the band onstage, yet $12 was apparently too steep.

Similar situations become dicier backstage and on the road, where music venue staff can range from uncooperative to threatening, leaving artists like Hanna unsure of how to safely proceed without canceling their performance.

On paper — and TextEdit — Hanna confronted each hardship one vignette at a time, unblocking much-needed healing in the process.

“I was like, ‘I’m not going to be able to let all this baggage go unless I face it, unless I stop just making it into a joke and acting like it didn’t matter,’” she explains. “Pretty extensive therapy” was also essential to her moving forward.

While the punk icon says she largely wrote “Rebel Girl” for herself, Hanna hopes the book will provide validation for other performers who face similar forms of discrimination, regardless of their gender. In retrospect, she acknowledges riot grrrl’s lack of intersectionality, an aspect of the movement she’s happy to “leave behind” in favor of more inclusive activism that recognizes how sexism intersects with racism and class.

Hanna places the outdated approach to feminism right next to her shrunk-down set of baggage — two things to keep in the past.
