There's a dream that waits like a tiger, An ember that grows to a fire And we climb to the greatest heights The world can't stop us now They try to bring us down but we just burn brighter.

Jack + “Laney Jones”

“I’ve never heard of guns being used against Things, ” said Jack. “Ogres, kelpies, hags, yes. But Things? Miss Jones, we’ve been using bladed weapons for hundreds of years.” “Welcome to the future. And it’s Laney, or Jones, not Miss anything.” She eyed them both steadily. “Understood, ” said Jack.

“How many Things did you see, Jones?” said Jack. “Jack, if we can’t break the sigil, we’re not going in, ” said Rupert. “Five, ” said Laney. “How come you don’t call her Miss Jones?” said Grey. “You called Sez ‘Miss.’” “She asked me not to, ” said Jack.

“Pigheaded stubbornness, ” she said simply. “It’s a Jones family trait.” Jack laughed. “Yeah, I know, ” he said. “Hey, I could be the exception, ” she said. “I could be special.” “You are special, Laney Jones.”

Watcher shoved Jack out of the way, staring behind him as though Laney ought to just appear. “Admittedly, it wouldn’t have helped you much in this case, but that’s hardly anyone’s fault. No one’s prepared for Laney Jones.”

“You are nothing like Talker was. You’re building something, ” said Jack. “He was lighting the world on fire and laughing.” Jack smiled at her and squeezed her hand. “You’re no villain, Laney Jones. Stop fooling yourself.”

Beanstalk, E Jade Lomax

Review Roundup: Secret Emchy Society and Laney Jones

As happens regularly this time of year, the flood of new album releases, and specifically outstanding releases I don't want you to miss out on, is coming on faster than my one man and two ears show can keep up with individually. So, this week, I'm doing another Review Roundup, this time with two albums that released May 20: Laney Jones' Stories Up High and Secret Emchy Society's Gold Country/Country Gold.

Laney Jones- Stories Up High Like many of the artists you see featured here, my first exposure to Laney Jones came via Americanafest, as an opener for Dom Flemons and Willie Watson. At that show, I was impressed by her high energy performance and intelligent lyrics, which shone through on her 2016 self-titled album. In the years since, Jones has grown significantly as an artist and, like most of us, been affected by the state of the world these past few years. The result of those years of growth and trial is Stories Up High, an album more personal, more introspective, but no less dynamic than its predecessor.

For Stories Up High Jones worked with producer Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray for the Riff Raff), teaming up for an album that shimmers, smokes, and flat out rocks to fit the mood of the song. On the album's title track, she wrestles with where infatuation ends and true feelings begin. “Are you too good to be true? Is it my twisted point of view? That shapes the twinkle of your smile, are you a friendly crocodile?” Later in the song, she finds contentment in her decision to let the unknown be. “I fell from stories up high. I died a little inside. But if I had a crystal ball, I would never have lived at all.”

Contrasting that is the album's true highlight and first single, “Not Alone.” Backed by a fuzzed guitar and a swelling chorus, Jones provides a musical vaccine for the loneliness, despair, and detachment felt during COVID-19 restrictions. “All of the books I've read, the music that fills my head, I carry them with me wherever I go, I'm not alone.”

It's been six years since Laney Jones graced us with an album and, while seeing the maturity those years have brought is satisfying for fans of that first album, here's hoping she doesn't wait another six years for the next. This is an artist with too many ideas, and too many interesting ways to interpret those ideas, to deprive us of them for too long.

Secret Emchy Society- Gold Country/Country Gold If Laney Jones brought us subtlety and introspection, Secret Emchy Society brought us bombast and outlaw country shenanigans, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The band led by Cindy Emch is at the vanguard of the modern queer country movement, not so much a genre as an insistence on inclusion in a genre that's never been known for its willingness to change (hence the birth of Americana, the place where people too black or gay or liberal to fit into country music's tiny box gather to throw better parties).

Musically, Secret Emchy Society is as outlaw as the most strident Johnny Cash song. They might not shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die, but they will damn sure drink him under the table. But there's a playfulness in that interpretation of boozy barroom country that acknowledges the cartoonishness of gallons of whiskey and bars with more fights than a UFC card while never crossing over into self-parody.

The album starts with a bang, presenting a cover of Willie Nelson's (by way of songwriter Ned Sublette) groundbreaking “Cowboys are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other.” Emch gives it an Ennio Morricone makeover and it's pretty hard not to hear lyrics like “inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out” and not imagine it playing over a Clint Eastwood face off in 'A Fistful of Dollars.' My guess is Eastwood wouldn't be a fan (nor, if recent news is an indicator, would it make Sam Elliott's Spotify playlist), but it sure is a lot of fun for those of us willing to explore.

Another pure Secret Emchy Society song is “I Murdered Your Bourbon.” Again, if you have to ask what it's about, you aren't paying attention. “It's said that ole Jesus turned water to wine. If he'd worked a bit harder, could have turned it to rye” leaves no doubt.

If you're looking for a tender exploration of the human condition, you're going to want to find another album (may I recommend Amy Speace's Tuscon). But if you like your country hard wearing, hard drinking, hard driving, and hard livin', Secret Emchy Society's got just what you bellied up to the bar for.

I think Shakira Austin and Aliyah Boston are competing for the same USA roster spot. I don't see the selection committee putting both of them on the Olympic roster. I think they're only going to pick one or the other.

It's tough because I genuinely can't tell you which one of them is a better player. They're exactly the same in my mind but Shakira has more international experience.

And BG is taking Brionna Jones spot.

For the guards, I'm guessing it'll be the same as the 2022 World Cup guards but Laney is getting replaced. Who is she getting replaced by? Well, I guess we'll see...

#i already know who's replacing laney lol we all know #aliyah boston #shakira austin #usa basketball #brittney griner #brionna jones #betnijah laney #wnba #usabwnt

because I'm partway through a reread and queueing up a bunch of reblogs about it, and it seems only fair to recommend it first:

Jack Farris doesn’t want to save the world, just every person he knows, encounters, or hears of. It’s a bit of an issue. S. Grey doesn’t want to save anyone but himself. He wants to know everything and majoring in sagework at the Academy is the best way to do that. Laney Jones left her home to avoid the constraints there, only to find different barriers holding her back at the Academy. Eager to learn, to excel, to escape, she has far from given up. Rupert Willington Jons Hammerfeld the Seventh would just like everything to be orderly, thank you very much, but it seems the only way to make monsters and myths (and malicious but mundane men) stop rampaging through his world is to go out and do some hero-ing himself. They are put together as an unwilling study group, but they become something more.

this is Beanstalk. It's first in a trilogy, all self-published, all free on the author's website, and the series is one of my favourites. It has:

– found family, with platonic relationships front and centre

– an adventurer's academy with a complicated legacy, where "hero" means a coloured armband and a diploma

– worldbuilding (appreciative), featuring an interesting magic system and monsters of all kinds, many of them people

– a red-headed boy named Jack, seventh son of a seventh son, who left the forest and grew like a beanstalk. You may recognise parts of his story. You may recognise others down the line.

– there's a whole cast I don't want to spoil except to say I'm currently rereading the first book and really looking forward to reaching the rest.

– there's definitely casual queer rep though. what do you take me for.

– honestly the writer (hi @ink-splotch!) writes all these characters with a complexity and love that I really admire. Some of the chapters that affected me most aren't even about the main cast.

— you may know the writer from her fics, the interactive games Stay? and More a Haunting than a History, or the podcast Second Star to the Left which she co-created with Aysha Farah. I can highly recommend most of the above and will get around to MaHtaH eventually.

If anyone's interested, I'd advise you don't go looking for spoilers. There most definitely is angst, but less so in the first book - hit me up if you want content warnings!

#I'm also queueing up someone else's rec for this but I wanted to put the platonic relationships bit right at the top #for ''I'm aro and I'm feral about it'' reasons #beanstalk #leagues and legends #that second tag is the useful one but every now and then I forget the series name but still remember the first book so I try to use both #falderal speaks #when I say I admire inky's writing I mean i have done for years #it's probably influenced my writing style a fair bit and honestly I hope it has

Dark Skin Directory

I did one of these for my sideblog BlackFemmeCharacterDependency (BFCD) and... While it’ll take longer on this end to do because there are more prominent figures here than on that one, I thought it would be good to also have one for my main...

EDIT: Okay, so the one that I did for BFCD does not work, so I am posting this one to see if it works, and if not, they’ll both be WIPS until I have the time to repair them

For the purposes of this list and on this page, whenever I say “dark skinned,” I mean a traditional brown crayon or darker. I grew up around Black people, so the words “dark skinned” do not mean the same thing to me as it do to nonblacks.
