as far as i understand; Jazz maneuvered through waves of congregations before it was named and sold.

Jazz was also exported internationally (with an intense focus on Africa) beginning in the 60s. The State department was the vehicle in which this was done.

When something is uprooted from its origin; it is typically renamed with a moniker befitting of its new social setting. even as late as 1988 you could’ve been Pascal from Port au Prince until you arrive in Boston, now you could be Peter to your new community.

I bring this up to ask about Hip hip. we adore it and many of us don’t see the world without it. Few of us see the world because of it. nonetheless, what has happened to this folk scene ?

what do we do with it now that it’s almost solely a career path ?

is music still a vehicle of the impoverished and underserved ? can it still speak for the times ?

better question might be, what the fuck was the 70s if the state dept had so much ….jurisdiction in the 60s.

ATTENTION!

I have accomplished... the dream. Or a dream. Basically, I’m allowed to write an academic essay on fanfiction.

So... I’m allowed to do a survey as data collection... :)

It’s long answer. Nothing is mandatory but all responses are appreciated! You don’t have to disclose any private information, if you want to skip any questions you can, I don’t want to pressure anyone into anything. But you know... it is appreciated. 

My thesis question is about how enjoyment of a media translates to fanfiction if that helps anyone.

From the interest check form from @genshin-fairy-tales!

First, whoops! I think we might’ve confused you by noting the variation. We will be doing a regular big bang (writers work first then artists make accompanying art.) We have now details on the artist guidelines now, if you follow this link! To paraphrase, colour and shading will be needed but the background can be up to your artistic liberty. As for traditional or digital, as long as you can post it on the internet with the requirements, it will be possible!

Writers will be working first, while artists come later in order to create accompanying art. The writers are required to have a certain amount done before artists step in. Artists can go through some of the scenes and choose which they want to draw!

We will help you with AO3, as one of our mods are quite experienced with it. As for other platforms like quotev, you may absolutely cross post!

Am I the only one who loves the feeling when you unfollow a blog that you find annoying (and you don’t even know why you followed them in the first place; you don’t even know who they are) and, right after unfollowing them, their post that annoyed you to the point of wanting to unfollow them disappears from your dashboard? It’s almost as satisfying as blocking ew kind of people bc they’re ew :)

That being said, pls love yourself and feel free to unfollow me if my blog makes you feel that way

Question of the Day/Food for thought

Does cultural relatavism equal moral relatavism?

*cultural relativism means we shouldn't compare one culture in terms of another culture, meaning no one way of living as superior to all others.

If this is true, the does this hold true for morality? If its not okay to do X in our culture, and X is totally acceptable in anothet, is there no standard for morals?

I don't feel like googling this, so here's a question; if a two term president wins an election as the vice presidential nominee and the president dies, are they still eligible to hold that role or does it skip to the number 3 person or does there have to be another election?
