One Six (1/6) Signing
January 6th is a day that no one will soon forget.
That’s why Alan Jenkins, civil rights attorney turned Harvard Law professor, decided to write a story about what might have happened (What If… for your Marvel fans) if 1/6 had turned out differently - if the insurrectionists had accomplished what they set out to do.
It’s a dark future painted (well, drawn) by Will Rosado that starts off how many of us remember the event to go but takes a hard right turn (pun intended) into a militaristic, dystopian future.
About the book:
Written by Alan Jenkins and Gan Golan and illustrated by Will Rosado, 1/6 asks and answers the question: What if the January 6, 2021 Insurrection had been successful?
The graphic novel chillingly illustrates how close we came to authoritarian rule in America and the threats to our democracy that we still face. In the tradition of speculative fiction from George Orwell’s 1984 to Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale to the Twilight Zone, it explores themes of autocracy, scapegoating, strategic disinformation, and more, all told through a compelling, character-driven story.
Drawing on real-life events, 1/6 travels the road that led from back-room meetings, white supremacist rallies, and the Four Seasons Landscaping parking lot to a violent attack on the Capitol that left several Americans dead and shook our nation to its core.
It then imagines a world in which the events of that day turned out very differently.
1/6 is for lovers of graphic novels, lovers of speculative fiction, lovers of politics, and lovers of our democracy. It’s a story that demands our attention and calls on us to take action…while we still can.
Issue #1 will be available and Alan and Will will both be on hand to sign copies, discuss why this book is so important to understanding where we are, where we’ve been and costs and implications of where we are (could be) headed. It’s all of our hope (the creators and East Side Mags) that this comic will foster conversation and communication.
From a Washington Post article about the book:
Jenkins says creating an alternative American history is a way to engage people of varying political views. “One of our storytelling efforts is to have empathy for everyone,” he says. “That doesn’t mean everyone is right or that there’s moral equivalence, but we need to understand each other.”
We hope you’ll join us on July 1 from 2pm-5pm for a signing unlike any other East Side Mags has hosted to date.

THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER OF THIS FIC. This is a gif of me instead of a gif of the chapter.

Unpredictable Synchronicity, Chapter (fucking) 30
In this chapter, I have written what I am reasonably certain is the sexiest scene ever written. I mark in the author's notes what I think that is. Your mileage may vary.
Thanks to @burberrycanary and @booksandabeer and TenMileStilts for HEROIC AND UNWAVERING BETA to end all Beta I truly, thanks. In particular for making the relationship so much healthier than it was in my first draft. I am sad not to be working on a fic with you all, someone else write something stat so I can talk to you in the comments.
I was looking for a cannoli gif to share and found this one:

Maybe this one is better:

Also, it's a fill for "Love is Love" the @allcapsbingo All Caps Bingo Monthly Mission for June.

Within seven years, Hogwarts had teachers who were half-giant, part-goblin, werewolf, centaur, and even a ghost. The magical world runs on house-elf labor, and the financial system is dependent on goblins. There is no justification not founded in wizarding supremacy for denying any non-human being who wants it, and has the capability, equal access to a wand, an education, and full participation in magical society and government.

Here’s a random question. Totally random. Why do people think they know law just because they watched a tv show once? Why do they use legal terms incorrectly in a misguided attempt to prove their view? Why isn’t there the slightest bit of interest in the very active delegitimization of our courts by nefarious actors who only want to secure benefits for themselves to the exclusion of all others? We have a court that literally ruled you can be innocent and be put to death anyway just because your lawyers were incompetent, a court that is stripping women, immigrants, and ordinary individuals of their rights, prioritizing the wealthy and corporations, laying waste to any semblance of governing power by the government, and endangering lgbt people.
Ignore the distractions. If you care about justice, you’re missing the point if you’re not infuriated with where our law has gone.

Group of NYU law students visit Atlanta to educate Black voters before deadline
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - At a Sunday morning service at The Enon Church in southwest Atlanta, a group of NYU School of Law students could be seen dropping in for a visit.
“We took the train from NYU up to LaGuardia and flew down. We’ve been going around Atlanta,” said Ashley Williams, NYU Law School student.
They are members of the Young Black Lawyers’ Organizing Coalition. Atlanta is just one of their stops on a tour to educate Black voters ahead of a pivotal mid-term election. This comes just days before the voter registration deadline.
“We are just coming out to help educate the Black communities about what they need to do to vote safely and make sure their ballot is correctly done and everything,” said Kelsey Brown, NYU School of Law student.
The founder of the group says they are targeting key battleground states.
“States that frankly had become epicenters of voter suppression over the last couple of years. Georgia is one of those states,” said Abdul Dosunmu, founder and chief strategist at YBLOC.
Dosunmu believes some lawmakers have created more hurdles for some voters, and calls it voter suppression, while some believe the measures are good for election security.
YBLOC said they were inspired by the Freedom Riders of the civil rights movement, and they believe voters now face a similar threat.
“People in power realize that our votes are counting and they matter,” said Williams.
The group will continue their tour, and along the way mobilize about 300 black lawyers to help spread the word.

Chapter 24 of Unpredictable Synchronicity. This wasn't the gif I had saved for this chapter, but it's a reasonable enough approximation.
This chapter is a bingo fill for "sharing an umbrella" for @allcapsbingo
Tumblr media
Have an excerpt:
They drip their way up the stairs and into Bucky's apartment. “I have about twenty messages from Sam and Nat asking where I am, and telling me not to go over to your apartment. Nat says she’s willing to shock me with her Widow Bites if necessary to restrain myself,” Steve says as they enter. “I sent them a pineapple emoji.”
“What’s a pineapple emoji mean?”
“Hell if I know,” Steve says, gingerly setting his damp phone on Bucky’s entryway table.

Civil law, the foundation of legal systems in many countries, offers a distinct approach to resolving disputes and governing interactions between individuals and entities. Compared to common law, civil law prioritizes codified statutes, placing a strong emphasis on written law for clarity and predictability. This system delivers a range of advantages, making it a cornerstone for fostering a just and well-functioning society. Let's delve into the seven key benefits of civil law.
