CFWC Celebration

Hey, fandom! Two important celebrations take place (or begin) in September: Hispanic Heritage Month and Bisexual Awareness Week.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a U.S.-based event that celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic Americans. Since we're a global community, we don't think this should be limited to the US, but instead be a celebration of Latine people and cultures worldwide.

Bisexual Awareness Week is a global celebration dedicated to the support and acceptance of the bi community. It's a chance to elevate voices, increase visibility, and bring attention to the unique issues faced within the community. Ideally, it also serves as a platform to advocate for bisexual rights.

We feel it's important to celebrate diversity in the Pixelberry Choices fandom, so in addition to our PRIDE celebration each June, we will be supporting other events that highlight inclusion going forward.

To that end, we would like to announce our month-long CFWC celebration...

Event Guidelines:

Between September 15 and October 15, 2023, we encourage our writers and artists to submit creations that celebrate one or both events.

Fics and visual arts can be submitted.

There are no prompts, but your work should reflect one or both of the celebrations.

Please use the tag #hispanic heritage month and/or #bisexuality awareness week on your post, and remember to tag @choicesficwriterscreations.

All works will be notated with a special symbol on the weekly lists, and two separate masterlists will be posted upon event completion.

Everyone who submits will be eligible for a prize that will be randomly selected after October 16th.

If you have any questions, please send us an ask, or you can DM our mods @jerzwriter or @cfwcmod-lucy.

Scarlet Witch (2023) #9 preview [source]

Being the hero to the hopeless is a full-time job, and Wanda Maximoff could certainly use some help. When she teams with a mysterious new ally to assist the people seeking help through the Last Door, things seem to be looking up. But is he everything he appears to be? Or has Wanda put her trust in the wrong person? Plus! A backup story celebrating Latin/x heroes and creators! Wanda Maximoff teams up with Strange Academy student Eva Quintero in a backup story by Juan Ponce and Ig Guara! On sale 10/18

There are some interesting call-backs happening in this issue-- Hexfinder's latest victim, Heinrich, is the descendent of Hilda von Hate, a villain who was introduced alongside Wanda's other nemesis, the Emerald Warlock, in Uncanny Avengers Annual #1 (2015). Omega and the Mother Head are niche characters from the 1976 series Omega the Unknown, who were reintroduced in the Darkhold event which preceded Scarlet Witch. Omega possesses the ability to channel power from Earth's "biosphere," which creates an interesting connection to Earth's Demiurge.

As noted, Scarlet Witch #9 will include a bonus story featuring Eva Quintero, a young magic user from the pages of Reptil and Strange Academy. Eva is one of my favorite new characters, so I'm really looking forward to her team-up with Wanda. This story is part of a company-wide event celebrating Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month.

San Salvador: A City Among Volcanoes

Along the Pacific coastline of Central America, a string of volcanoes runs for more than 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) from Guatemala to Panama. In El Salvador, the capital city of San Salvador sits in line with this chain of cones and calderas.

This image illustrates the city’s distinctive setting among volcanic features. The greater metropolitan area of San Salvador stretches from the base of the San Salvador stratovolcano to the west to Lake Ilopango, a volcanic caldera, to the east. The image was acquired by the OLI (Operational Land Imager) on Landsat 8 on February 24, 2023.

The dynamic geology owes to its position along a subduction zone, where the Cocos Plate plunges under the Caribbean Plate and gives rise to the Central American Volcanic Arc. Though only about the size of New Jersey, the country of El Salvador is home to 20 volcanoes that have been active in the past approximately 10,000 years. Most have been fairly quiet in recent history. The San Miguel volcano, to the east of this image, is the most active and has erupted repeatedly during the past several centuries, including most recently in May 2023.

Abutting the city of San Salvador, the volcano of the same name rises to an elevation of 1,900 meters (6,200 feet). When it last erupted, in 1917, it sent a lava flow streaming northward from a vent on its flank. A magnitude 6.3 earthquake centered at the volcano preceded the eruption by 35 minutes. Other powerful and destructive earthquakes have struck the city, including in 1965, 1986, and 2001. Consequently, few of the city’s older buildings such as its colonial cathedrals remain today.

East of the city, Lake Ilopango is one of El Salvador’s largest lakes and the remnant of a massive eruption dating back to Mayan times. In a 2020 study, a team of researchers concluded that the caldera-forming eruption occurred around the year 431 C.E. and was 50 times larger than the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. It was previously suspected that, due to its voluminous emissions, the Ilopango eruption was responsible for an anomalously cold decade in the Northern Hemisphere around 540 C.E. Additional evidence, such as from ice cores, has refined the eruption date to significantly earlier than the cold spell.

The city of San Salvador became the capital of El Salvador in 1839. Today, a significant portion of the country’s population—approximately 1.1 of 6.6 million people—lives in its urban core. El Salvador claimed its independence from Spain in 1821 and celebrates its Independence Day on September 15 each year. That date aligns with Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated in the United States from September 15 to October 15.

Not an expert but why did they use latinx? Isn’t the term latina?

VOICES & OPINION

If Hispanics Hate the Term “Latinx,” Why Is It Still Used?

CAS’ Maia Gil’Adí says that polling agencies have given the word an unfair reputation

October 7, 2022

Sophie Yarin

All summer long, we’ll be reposting stories that originally published during the 2022–2023 academic year—stories about research, BU classes, food, alumni and student profiles, and more.

It seems like there’s a new word for Latin American heritage every couple of decades—and it never seems to fit just right. “Hispanic” was brought into common parlance in the early 1970s, but was later challenged by “Latino” and its feminine partner “Latina.”

Now comes the rise of the divisive—but gender-neutral—“Latinx,” touted by progressives for its supposed modern hipness, yet somewhat reviled by the people it represents.

With Hispanic Heritage Month in full swing, it’s time to ask: what’s in a name?

“As an immigrant, I found myself being classified as Hispanic upon arrival to the United States, a term I did not know nor had used to call myself before,” says Dina Castro, a Wheelock College of Education and Human Development professor of early childhood education and director of the BU Institute for Early Childhood Well-Being. “Then, there was the option of using Latina, which is my preference because it highlights my Latin American origin and not only the fact that I speak Spanish.”

While there’s no one group or individual responsible for coining Latinx, its popularity has snowballed in tandem with conversations around gender. Previous terminology forced the speaker to identify as male or female, Latino or Latina, while Latinx gives both speaker and listener the ability to opt out of the gender binary. The term was embraced enthusiastically by progressive entities with a stake in gender-neutral policies. It was added to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary in 2018.

According to the Pew Research Center, a thimble-sized portion of people with Latin American ancestry use the term Latinx. In August 2020, the center reported that 3 percent of respondents viewed it favorably; a year later, a Gallup poll increased that to 4 percent. If you were to base your impression on this research—or on various recent think pieces—you’d assume that the term was foisted on an unwilling community who found themselves saddled with it.

Maia Gil’Adí, a College of Arts & Sciences assistant professor of English, says this isn’t the case. “You have to ask yourself, who’s taking the surveys?” she says.

Gil’Adí, who specializes in Latinx literature and culture, points to a journal article by Nicole M. Guidotti-Hernández, an Emory University professor, who places the term’s coinage “around 2004 in queer contexts.” It was an organic youth movement, she contends, born of the internet, and rejected by the older generation.

“With the younger generations—with the kids that I teach—I would think that they’re much more comfortable using the term Latinx,” Gil’Adí says.

The conversation around Latinx often includes reference to its usage in higher education, not by just students, but the institution as well. (BU, for instance, uses the term “Latinx” in its official style guide.) This can be attributed to the fact that college students are leading the national discussion on gender—or that the national population of Latinx college students is on the rise. In 2020, the Postsecondary National Policy Institute reported that at 21.8 percent, Latinx students were the second-largest ethnic group of college enrollees.

At BU, the Latinx community has increased across the board in the past five years: undergraduates by 7 percent, graduates by 23 percent, faculty by 17 percent, and staff by 38 percent.

Not everyone at BU represented by these numbers prefers the term Latinx. Gil’Adí understands, she says, but thinks it’s important that people realize that to her and other scholars, the X does not refer solely to gender neutrality. It can represent an unknown value, as in mathematics, and signifies what she refers to as a “categorical impossibility.”

“How do you define a population made up of descendants from all the countries in Latin America, people that are white, Black, Asian, and indigenous?” she asks. “Anglo-American culture always wants to define the minoritized other as this one thing, and I think the X pushes back and says, no, we are all these things.”

The conscientiousness of Latinx contrasts with its predecessor term, “Hispanic.” Popularized under the Nixon administration when it first appeared on the 1970 US Census—also the first time the Latinx population was seen as a separate entity by the government—the term was the result of a decision by an ad-hoc committee convened by the Census Bureau to group people from Latin America together under one mother tongue. It’s an arbitrary designation, Gil’Adí says, one that erases indigenous languages and puts a “linguistic belonging and a sort of limitation” on something that’s not so easily confined.

And of course, many are opposed to grouping Latinx people together under the language of their colonizers.

“For me, the term Hispanic highlights only the colonial part of my ancestry, and I have indigenous and Afro-Peruvian ancestors as well,” Castro says.

In 1992, author Sandra Cisneros told the New York Times: “To say Hispanic means you’re so colonized you don’t even know for yourself, or someone who named you never bothered to ask what you call yourself. It’s a repulsive slave name.”

In spite of the pushback, the 2021 Gallup poll reported that “Hispanic” was the favorite out of the terms on offer, at 23 percent. It’s possible that those who participated have also filled out their fair share of censuses.

There are plenty of other options for self-identification beside Latino, Latinx, and Hispanic. There’s Latin@, popular in the 1990s as a gender-expansive precursor to Latinx. There’s Latine, a gender-neutral term championed by detractors of Latinx, primarily for its better adherence to Spanish grammar.

“With regard to the more recent terms proposed to address gender equity, I prefer Latine over Latinx,” Castro says.

There’s also the option of abandoning racial classification altogether and instead focusing on geography.

Johanna Calderon-Dakin (COM’06), a publicist and bilingual culture consultant born and raised in Mexico City, says she prefers to identify herself as Mexican. “What is most important in my opinion is that whether you use Latino, Latinx, or Hispanic, we all are part of this one great community, yet we are not homogeneous,” she says. “The diaspora of the Latino community is immense, so it is difficult to put us all under one blanket.”

Gil’Adí wonders if the ideal self-identifying term might not be invented yet. “Think about the different permutations that have led to ‘Black’: Negro, African American, Afro-American,” she says. “Within the past 5 years, this explosion of Latinx has been huge, so what’s going to happen 5, 10 years from now?”

Ultimately, while she remains partial to Latinx, Gil’Adí doesn’t think that these terms primarily benefit the people they refer to. “When you’re in [Latin America] you’re Colombian, Brazilian, whatever. Once you come here, you become this other thing that then becomes racialized,” she says. “People have a really hard time with things that aren’t concrete, that are slippery. It’s about learning to sit with that uncomfortableness.”

To prove her point, look at the 2021 Gallup poll. When asked their preference between Hispanic, Latino, and Latinx, the overwhelming majority—57 percent—put down, “Does not matter.”

2 min readPreparations for Next Moonwalk Simulations Underway (and Underwater) A NASA-developed wind tunnel research tool known as the Common Research Model is seen mounted in the 12-Foot Low-Speed Tunnel at the agency’s Langley Research Center in Virginia. NASA / Lee Pollard NASA will co-host the two-day Stability and Control Prediction Workshop II (S&CPW2) during the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics’ (AIAA) annual SciTech Forum in January 2025. A kickoff meeting for the 2025 gathering is scheduled for Jan. 8, 2024, during the AIAA SciTech 2024 Forum in Orlando, Fla. The Stability and Control Prediction Workshop series seeks to establish best practices for the prediction of stability and control derivatives with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The workshops provide an impartial forum for evaluating the effectiveness of existing CFD codes and modeling techniques, as well as identifying areas in need of additional research and development. The focus of S&CPW2 is prediction of static and dynamic stability derivatives for the NASA/Boeing Common Research Model (CRM). NASA’s Langley Research Center in Virginia collected static and force oscillation data for a 2.4-percent scale version of the CRM in the Langley 12-Foot Low-Speed Tunnel during the Fall of 2023. The wind tunnel data will be used to provide a blind comparison to CFD predictions. The data will not be publicly released until CFD predictions for the workshop have been completed. S&CPW2 will be open to participants worldwide, and representation from industry, academia, and government will be present. The workshop will consist of individual presentations, open discussions, and a subsequent paper by the planning committee to document workshop results. Participation in the prediction studies and AIAA membership are not required to attend the workshop. The Organizing Committee consists of the following members: Andrew Lofthouse – Air Force Lifecycle Management Center Dan Vicroy – Adaptive Aerospace Group, Inc. Benjamin Simmons – NASA Langley Research Center Norman Princen – The Boeing Company Matthew Prior – The Boeing Company Adam Clark – The Boeing Company Brett Johnson – The Boeing Company Steve Klausmeyer – Textron Aviation Kelly Laflin – Textron Aviation William Vogel – Air Force Lifecycle Management Center Charlie Harrison – Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation The workshop’s planning is affiliated with NASA’s Transformational Tools and Technologies project.

Dear, Sarai.. this one is for you.

    I didn't think I'd be starting my family so soon. I've been busy finishing school and working in the DOE. I didn't think I'd be starting at the age of 23. Since I am the baby of the family my pregnancy was a shock to everyone. My mom started her family at 17, so the idea of pregnancy before finishing school had a negative connotation to it. While my mother wasn't so happy my father was excited, definitely was a big surprise as I thought the roles would be reversed. I had one year left and I was already entering my fall semester. I had a good job, I was almost finished with school but my mom was still upset because she thought i wouldnt be able to do it. But I was determined to prove her wrong. I allowed her to feel the way she wanted to and went to school and work until I was ready to give birth. I worked from 7 am and went to school straight after, I was tired but I was determined. I ended up finishing my fall semester great and working until 1 month before my birth date, i was getting too big to waddle around. As of March 20th 2023 i gave birth to my daughter Sarai. Shewas beautiful, my mom eventually came around . my daughter is the second granddaughter in 14 years so she was definitely excited to see another girl being born into the family. On my fiance's side she was the first grandbaby, so the excitement of her arrival was out of this world. She is a beautiful mix of both Puerto rican and guyanese. I have never experienced what it's like to share two cultures but now that will be my daughter's experience. Motherhood has been full of  different thoughts as I plan on how I will be catering to my daughter's needs and personality. My parents were great to me, they gave me the best that they could. But I have made it my mission to give her even better. I was never taught about things like home ownership, improving finances and other things to grow into success. I was always told that's what I should do. Being from a second generation family, they have only taught me and my siblings what it is to survive, and not the full depths of what it is to be successful.  Me and my fiance have two different kinds of upbringings. He has always lived in houses and has learned these ideologies my parents couldn't teach me, it was always a dream for them. Me and my fiance have grown up with predominantly hispanic households, him having a mix. But my fiance and I have our differences on how much culture means to us.  I'm closer to my culture than my fiance is and I have made it a goal of mine to make sure my child knows where she comes from along with the teachings my parents couldn't teach me.Starting with language, I have made it an initiative to make sure my parents teach my daughter Spanish since in my very own home and my fiance's side of the family primarily speak english. My biggest fear is for my daughter to lose her culture because me or my fiance has allowed it to die out. My parents almost allowed that to happen because they were raised to think that if we live in America we are American and we should act like it. Although they do hold true to their culture in some parts, I've learned that my parents have taught me how to survive in a world that at one point did not accept puerto ricans. As a child I couldn't imagine a life like that because I loved who I was, I loved that my culture was so beautiful, I loved being Puerto rican. My parents loved it too, but I think they appreciated it as much as I did until they got older. So for my daughter I want her to be able to embrace her heritage and her culture even if she was born here. I want her to speak Spanish and learn about who she is. I hope she gets the opportunities of taking puerto rican history classes as i did, but even so i will make it a mission to teach her what the world won't. She will be everything I was and more, and I hope she appreciates every bit of it.

man. i feel weird.

i feel like lately i have had a spiritual awakening.

a lot of realizations of myself. what i am, what i need, what i have to be.

it feels like i have so much i need to accomplish immediately, but i feel so lost?

spiritually, i know im not alone. but physically, financially i feel alone. like i must bare these responsibilities alone, on my shoulders.

and i’m scared.

i ran into an old friend from school, along with a great woman in the latino community, and it caught me completely off guard. but now i’m left wondering if maybe i was meant to see them? i was invited to go to an event on friday and i think im going to go.

i had a french tarot reading done a few weeks ago, a lenormand reading, and it brought up a lot of interesting prompts for me.

one, i needed to move for my daughter. this house is not an environment for me to raise her properly.

two, i needed to get out more

three, i needed to stop working small jobs. go for something bigger. there is someone waiting for me, that has other people with the same capabilities as me, working for them. is this for me? is this the opportunity the reader was talking about? but what would i do?

if i worked for a latino community, how would i translate? i’m white, i look white. even though im mostly mexican, and i don’t even fluently speak spanish completely. i have a white baby. i feel like a fraud. but my family, tradition, and heritage mean everything to me. like really, i just remembered, for hispanic heritage month in middle school, i took it upon myself to do something to celebrate. i put up decorations, and read announcements for it every morning of the month.

but what have i done lately for my community?

i feel despondent as a mexican american woman.

i feel like i don’t belong. but why not?

why must i always put myself down, feel like im never good enough. i am enough. i am a part of this community. i was raised by migrants. immigrants. i’m a second generation american. i’ve been to mexico multiple times to our family home. i have family i know in mexico.

so that leaves the question, what do i have to offer the latino community?

i could speak on addiction within the community. many mexican people struggle with generational addiction. lots with either alcohol, cocaine, whatever. i struggled with heroin. and i have two years of clean time under my belt.

but at the same time, i don’t regularly attend meetings, don’t have a sponsor. i drink and smoke weed on occasion. i serve alcohol for a living. so really… who am i to speak on it. but maybe sobriety is different for everyone?

everything in moderation, including moderation.

but is what i’m doing realistic?

especially for myself, how can i justify my sobriety, health? if im still using a mind altering substance. it honestly makes me feel ashamed sometimes.

but that’s not what it is for me sometimes, i am free from the shackles of a terrible relationship, a terrible partner, free from meth, free from heroin, free from hard drugs. no molly, coke, none of that. anything that could go up my nose is prohibited.

that’s what my problem was. substance abuse. and i realize that any substance could easily lead to abuse. so i only drink for occasions. including smoking too. only with friends

over the summer i smoked weed for the first time in years, and it caused paranoia psychosis. i tried smoking again last month which worsened it. so no smoking for me except for very special occasions where i know im safe and with good friends.

idk i just feel like im never good enough for my standards. my moms standards. my papis standards. my families standards.

am i going to be ok?

SNIPES Celebrates Latinx Heritage Month

SNIPES, the premier sneaker and streetwear retailer, is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking initiative in celebration of Latinx Heritage Month. This event, aptly named "Sigue Soñando," is set to take place on October 14th, 2023, at the We the Best x SNIPES store, located at 673 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. "Sigue Soñando" promises to be a captivating experience that pays homage to the rich history, culture, and invaluable contributions of the Latinx community.

Rooted in the belief that silence is not an option, SNIPES invites everyone to be seen, heard, and celebrated as leaders within the culture and community. This event is not just a gathering; it's a profound call to action, urging us all to unite and keep dreams alive. The heart of Latinx culture will come alive during this unforgettable celebration.

Miami, often referred to as a melting pot of Spanish cultures, perfectly represents the diversity within the Latin/Hispanic community. In Miami, we encounter a vibrant mix of Latin-based ethnicities, including but not limited to Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Mexicans, and many others. By highlighting Miami's landscape, SNIPES aims to create a familiar setting that resonates not only with the US market but also with the broader Latin market, aligning with our objective of celebrating and honoring Latin/Hispanic Heritage throughout Latinx Heritage Month.

The initiative also included community-oriented workshops, led by renowned visual artist Jenny Perez. Students repainted their art room and collaborated to create a vibrant mural that reflects their individuality and collective spirit. This project emphasized community engagement, self-expression, and the value of art as a means of communication and personal growth. The mural is on display at Hialeah High School.

The centerpiece of "Sigue Soñando" will be the captivating panel discussion, featuring leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, and influencers who have left an indelible mark on the entertainment and creative industry. The panelists include:

·       Supa Cindy: On-air radio host, media personality, event MC, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, known as the Voice of Miami.

·       Lex Borrero: Music executive and entrepreneur, Billboard's 40 under 40 honoree, and co-founder of NEON16.

·       Qiana Aviles: Founder and CEO of Nail Lounge and Onher, a respected businesswoman and mentor among entrepreneurs.

·       Jenny Perez: Caribbean-American painter and visual artist based out of Miami, Florida.

·       Ben Carrillo: A rising producer and singer-songwriter.

The day culminates in a vibrant mixer (7 PM - 10 PM) where guests will immerse themselves in the enchanting world of Latin culture. With a headline DJ spinning the latest beats, the atmosphere will be electric, creating a dynamic and energetic ambiance that will keep guests on their feet all night long. Guest can enjoy signature drinks courtesy Lalo, a tequila named in honor of Eduardo "Lalo" González, the son of Don Julio González. Lalo continues as the third generation of his tequilero family with a bold new approach to perfecting blanco tequila .The mixer will also offer a delectable array of hors d'oeuvres, carefully crafted to showcase the flavors and culinary traditions of the Latinx community.

As an added bonus, attendees will have the opportunity to explore contemporary art and traditional tattoo culture with the presence of two talented tattoo artists, Nico Herrera and Luis Rivas, who will be providing complimentary flash tattoos.

And that's not all! SNIPES is excited to announce the launch of limited edition "Sigue Soñando" merchandise, exclusively available to event attendees. This merchandise, which is available for sale at the We The Best x SNIPES store,  will serve as a lasting memento of this extraordinary celebration.

Join SNIPES on October 14th, 2023, as they come together to celebrate the rich tapestry of Latin Heritage, honoring its history, culture, and contributions. "Sigue Soñando" is a call to embrace the rhythm of life and the beat of our hearts, as we continue to create a more inclusive world.
