Elephants in the bathwater - Development ethics and changing solidarities in the second postdevelopment turn: This paper begins with a reflection on Olivia Rutazibwa s essay, `On Babies and Bathwater  which criticises the
coloniality of development studies. Several decades later, despite many critiques, we seem stuck with the same
development and aid. The `baby  to avoid throwing out is shared interest - in global justice, solidarities and
reparation. Does throwing out the bathwater imply `a hard Devxit , as Orbie and Delputte (2019) provocatively
suggest? What defines the second postdevelopment turn is the observation that it starts at home (Schöneberg
2019). Decolonial accountability is a first step towards cultivating solidarities as the defining, conative aspect of
`development  itself (Khoo 2015a). We return to consider what solidarity requires in terms of responsibility and
restitution as preliminary steps towards a common fate. Goulet (1992) points out that developmental change is
another way of speaking about ethical creativity, pointing to the constitutive centrality of development ethics.
