Where's the African mythology?
The Kickstarter is live now!
I know I have close to zero Tumblr fame, which I normally appreciate, but I would love it if this made it into the world and got fully backed. You can even pledge to get the digital content and send a real copy to a school in Africa or to a HBCU or community library of your choosing!
Misusing my blog again so more people can see this then
Guy quit his job thinking he became rich.
I work for a construction company and we do remodeling on homes. We have a rule here that we get to keep anything we find hidden behind the walls. We hired this guy (we really needed a worker badly) who was a total a-hole from day one. Ive been working for this company for 5 years and this guy has only been doing construction for 1 year after he got fired from his accounting job for getting a dui.

Another thought occurred to me
People who complain about Harry Kim never getting promoted tend to forget that Dr. Crusher went through seven seasons and four films without a promotion, too.

[Charles Saunders] had begun writing speculative fiction in the 1970s and published his first novel, “Imaro,” in 1981. As a child he had been enthralled by the fantasies spun by white writers like Robert E. Howard, who created Conan the Barbarian, and Edgar Rice Burroughs, who created Tarzan, the white African figure embodied most famously on the screen by Johnny Weissmuller. But he came to recognize the racism inherent in such works. Imaro was the result.
[…] “For Tarzan to be the king of mythical Africa,” he said, “it’s an utter slap in the face to a young Black child who is looking for a place in his imagination where he can be indomitable, where he can be the king or the queen.”

Firefighter demonstrates how to put out a kitchen fire
Reblog to actually save a life
To explain. The latter works because you’re cutting off the supply of oxygen to the fire and suffocating it
as opposed to slapping oxygen inside the pan with the downward motion
Reblogging, because this is so important. When I was learning how to cook for myself in my tweens, I had at least a five years of fire safety seminars from school drilling this into my head, and I STILL had that instinctive put-the-fire-out-with-water reflex. Didn’t even think. I saw our oily burner catch fire after frying eggs, whipped around towards the sink for water, and my brain immediately screamed NO!!! NO WATER! I mean that fire safety stuff straight up bitchslapped me out of REFLEXIVELY setting my house on fire. I found a pot lid and inched it over the burner before turning off the heat. Even if you think you know this stuff, panic is powerful shit. Make knowledge more powerful.

In Star Trek, no Black leads begin their shows as captains, while all white leads do. By odd coincidence, both live-action Black leads were promoted to captain in their season 3 finale. I don't think either DS9 or Disco had good enough reasons to delay these promotions.
LD also has a Black lead who is not a captain, though the whole point of the show is that the protagonists are not officers. I think this is a good idea, but in the context of this pattern, the optics are getting pretty depressing.
Why does Trek only try to deconstruct the power of their most iconic occupation (spaceship captain) in their Black-led shows? Why do they only ever ask, "What if the lead was NOT a captain?" and "What if the lead was Black?" at the same time? In the case of both live-action Black-led shows, the answer to both questions is, "Then they will have to wait 3 seasons."
I can say this: DS9 created Sisko as a “young commander” before and without any focus on casting race. The role was open to any ethnicity. Some (now) famous white guys auditioned for it, and Siddig (Bashir) was almost offered it before they knew he was only 26 (they saw him in a film and thought he was 35-40) so for DS9 at least... it was not intentional that the first black lead was not a full captain. Though once they decided on Avery, I do think it would have been smarter to recognize that it looks like that and make him a captain then. Sadly there was hefty white privilege back then (still is).
Coming in August 2020. Hopefully it’s going to have something new.
Edit: Now it seems to be pushed back to January 2021.

I'm cracking up that some online drama queen complains that her life is one long nonstop tragedy, but then gets pissed because someone wishes her well. Go get a life.
