The Fractured but Whole: Freedom Pals Unite! Chapter 3: Pick a class, any class

I watch Doctor Timothy back up his wheelchair to the center of the room as my new teammates line up on both sides of him. Mysterion and Toolshed stand on his right side while Tupperware and Wonder Tweek stand on his left.

(Maybe my initiation isn’t over yet.)

[New kid, before you can go out into the field, we will need to brief you on our origins.]

(Oh right, Timmy told me he was going to tell me about their start.) I nod my head to let them know to start their story.

[Toolshed has probably mentioned this to you before, but we were all once members of another superhero franchise called Coon and Friends. Our leader was, of course, The Coon and there were ten members in total. I was in the process of developing movies, television shows, video games, and other programs for everyone to earn large sums of money for the team. However, my ideas were tossed aside by The Coon and replaced with his own. We split off to form Freedom Pals once we saw his biased franchise plan.]

“The Coon’s franchise plan screwed each of us over,” Toolshed exclaims, “While we had at most one program each, everyone who stayed with Coon and Friends had around five or even more programs for themselves!”

“We treat each other as equals here,” Mysterion softly growls, “but The Coon only looks out for himself. He built us into a pyramid and put himself on top!”

“Our franchise was doing great at first,” Tupperware adds, “We had one hundred followers on our Coonstagram page. By my calculations, we would have doubled in fans in a few hours, but The Coon started stealing credit for our heroic deeds and swindled us out of our past leads on the crime syndicate.”

“To make matters worse,” Wonder Tweek growls, “his teammates are starting to stoop to his level and stealing our missions. Kyle, Jimmy, Clyde, … even my ex-boyfriend.” I jump back at the last few words.

(Woah, Wait! You and Craig broke up?!)

[As you can see, the split resulted in bad feelings and nearly broken relationships, but we believe we made the right choice in splitting off. And with you now on our side my friend and the lead you provided us, the tide may finally change back to our favor.]

“What new lead Doc,” Tupperware questions.

[While looking through the New Kid’s memories, he informed me of a poster The Coon had in his possession. The poster detailed a $100 reward for the return of the cat Scrambles.]

“Wait, I’ve heard that name being passed around by the top six graders on my patrols,” Mysterion declares, “Doc, do you think…”

[Indeed, I do. I believe that this Scrambles is the epicenter of the current crime wave. The police have been bringing in many stray cats these past few weeks, and from Mysterion’s investigations on the current activities of the citizens, I believe we may be dealing with the drug craze of ‘cheesing’.] I notice Mysterion flinch when Doctor Timothy said the word ‘cheesing’. I remember Kenny telling me about that ‘boob-utopia’ when I found a cat sling in his closet when we were hanging out one time with Stan, Kyle, Butters, and, sadly, Cartman. He said he gave up ‘cheesing’ long before I moved here, so I guess the mention of it would remind him of his rehab.

“You mean the crime wave is all about getting cat cheese,” Tweek shrieks.

[I know it sounds farfetched, but it would explain why the adults in our town have gone from the usual crazy to near insanity. It would also explain why the police would collect all these stray cats. I believe that someone is trying to take over our town by drugging the adults with cat urine. And Scrambles must be the bottom bitch of the whole operation. If we can secure this cat, we may be able to track down the crime boss.]

“Coon and Friends will be looking for this cat to,” Toolshed replies, “but I’m willing to bet that The Coon is only interested in the cash reward.”

(Since Cartman stole your leads before, I think it’s only fair we steal this one right under his nose … or is it whiskers?)

[I will research more about Scrambles. In the meantime, you all try to find more missions or any more leads. Tupperware, please assist our rookie with choosing a superhero class and explain the basics of the powers and combat before you depart. New Kid, once you have selected a class, come and see me for your final debriefing. I will be waiting for you in my chamber.] Doctor Timothy guides his wheelchair back to the back chamber while Wonder Tweek and Mysterion pull the space curtains apart to let him in. I feel hand clasp my shoulder. I turn my head to see Toolshed grinning from ear to ear. I can’t help but grin back.

“Told you you’d get in,” Toolshed playfully jabs, “I’ll call you if I find a mission. I’ll see you later dude.” He gives me a quick thumbs-up before trudging up the stairs. Wonder Tweek waves at me before following Toolshed. I wave back before turning my head to Mysterion. He gives me a wink before trudging up the stairs.

(This is it Sally. You’re now a Freedom Pal.) I turn my attention to the base; I never got to really look at it when Toolshed first brought me. Everything is decorated with cardboard boxes, a city backdrop, LED lights, stars and planets, and what look like to be my teammates’ superhero gear.

(It must have taken the guys hours or even a whole day to decorate this place! Maybe they’ll let me add some of my superhero stuff… if I get any.)

“Hey dude, you coming or what,” Tupperware calls. I snap out of my thoughts and head towards him. He leads me into a makeshift room with walls made of cardboard boxes and yellow masking tape forming a grid on the floor and walls.

“This is our training room,” Tupperware says, “We use virtual reality to test our powers and prepare for any disasters, crimes, or anything that could go wrong in our quiet mountain town.” I raise an eyebrow and cock my head in confusion.

(What virtual reality? There’s nothing here but tape and boxes.) I hear Tupperware give a soft chuckle as he turns towards an I-pad. He types in a code and everything suddenly goes dark. The masking tape glows a cyan blue while the walls glow a navy blue. My eyes widen as I stare around the transformed room.

(I never knew boxes and tape could do this!) Tupperware removes the I-pad from its stand and turns to face me.

“Ok New Kid,” he declares, “I’ve selected three beginner classes for you to choose from. You can choose from Speedster, Brutalist, or Blaster. Each class has different levels of brawn, brains, spunk, health, and movement. Brawn increases the damage done by melee attacks, brains increase the damage done by ranged, mental, and magic attacks, spunk increases the effects of support abilities like healing and shielding, health, of course, affects how large your maximum health is, and movement increases how many spaces you can move on the battle grid. Our training program will create a set of powers for you based on which class you choose. Here, pick the one you like the best.” He hands me the tablet. I look at the pictures of the superheroes with their specific class. I tap each picture to see their affects. Speedster and Brutalist are nearly the same; they mostly have brawn affects with one spunk affect. I then look over at the third class, Blaster. I look over its four attacks in awe.

(Great range, burn affects, and a sweet costume to boot! I think I found my class.) I press the button for select class and return the I-pad to Tupperware.

The Fractured but Whole: Freedom Pals Unite! Chapter 1: I’ve got just the ‘Toolshed’ for this problem

(… Well shit.)

I stare at the line of lava covering Cartman’s door step in annoyance. All I wanted was to play with my friends and now I’m a prisoner in Cartman’s living room. I was playing Fighters of Zaron with Kyle, Butters, Craig, Clyde, and Jimmy when Cartman suddenly jumped into his backyard dressed up as some sort of mutant racoon claiming to be from the future. Seriously, what the fuck is going on! He called us over to his house, saying that he needed help from the Fighters of Zaron and their king.

… It should be ‘queen’ since I’m actually a girl, but they’re not ready to know that yet. I might lose them and the others as my friends if they find out I’m really a girl. Cartman wouldn’t be that big of a loss, but losing Kenny, Butters, Stan, Kyle, and the others would be a huge blow. I’ll never understand why my parents force me to pretend that I’m a boy.

… Anyway, back to the flashback. I hear Craig say that they’re not playing that anymore and then Clyde said that they were all split up. What were they talking about?

(Now that I think about it, I didn’t see Kenny, Stan, Token, Tweek, or Timmy anywhere. And what did Clyde mean by they were all split up? Are they fighting again?)

I then saw Cartman holding poster showing a missing cat named Scrambles and that it would offer an award of $100 to anyone who finds Scrambles. It wouldn’t surprise me that the fatass would seize the chance to earn $100. I then heard him say something about a massive crime wave threatening our town. Some sort of crime syndicate. I then hear Clyde say that this would be too big of a problem for Coon and Friends. Cartman then asks the guys if they would rather let the Freedom Pals find Scrambles first and get the reward for their franchise.

I am just completely lost at this point. Mrs. Cartman then alerts Cartman that some sort of noise is coming from his basement. Apparently, it’s something called the Coon alert. The next thing I know, Kyle, Craig, Jimmy, Clyde, Butters, and Cartman all run out on me, Kevin, and the other two members of the Moorish tribe. Cartman just basically calls us dorks and says that we can’t play with them anymore. I try to follow him to see what’s going on but he stops me.

“Sorry Douchebag,” He snarled, “but I’m not going to let you play this game with us. Nothing you say will convince me, not even the fact that your dad fucked your mom.” He closes the sliding door of his kitchen.

(What that actual fuck! Why would he bring something like that up?)

And that now leaves me stranded in Cartman’s living room. Kevin and the others did invite me to hang out with them, but that mostly involved sulking and doing nothing. I left them at the gates of Kupa Keep and entered Cartman’s house. I noticed that there was a password lock on the basement door, so I won’t be able to get in without the code. Cartman probably has it written somewhere, but do I really want to get involved with Cartman again after last time?

I decide to try and leave his house, but that’s where the lava comes in. I can feel heat from the Lego brick lava pile covering the steps. Curse my dedication to the game. Mrs. Cartman is apparently calling the police to remove the lava from the door step.

(… Ok, we can get away with calling this lava because we’re kids, but come on! How gullible is this woman? … Come on Sally, stay focused. Maybe I can climb the fence of Cartman’s backyard to get out.) I turn on my heels and slowly walk back towards the backyard.

I suddenly hear the sound of crunching snow. I turn back towards the open door and notice a kid decked out with power tools talking into his wrist.

“Yeah. I’ll be there in five minutes Mysterion. Toolshed out!”

(Toolshed? … Wait. I recognize that voice. Is that… Stan? It is!) As he ends his call with this ‘Mysterion,’ he turns towards Cartman’s house and notices me.

“Douchebag,” I hear him say, “What are you doing here?”

The only answer I can give him is a quick glance at the lava. I had become used to being silent, since my family tries to isolate me from other people most of the time. They have been able to determine what I want to say by looking at my eyes or body language.

“Oh, that’s why,” Stan replies, “Ok, hang on. I’ll take care of it.” He then jogs over to Cartman’s garage and opens the garage door. He comes back carrying a small portable generator. I watch as he plugs in a large jack-hammer shaped tool and points it at the lava.

“Stand back Douchebag,” Stan warns, “My sandblaster is pretty powerful. I don’t want you to get hit with any lava.” I quickly nod and take two steps to my right. I hear the sandblaster reave up and the next thing I see is red bricks flying into Cartman’s living room.

“Oh, never mind,” Mrs. Cartman sings into the phone, “One of my Poopsickins’ friends took care of it.”

(… Damn this woman.)

“You can come out now dude,” I hear Stan declare. I pull myself away from the wall and walk out of living room. I greet Stan with a grateful smile. He smirks at me while twirling an electric drill with his fingers as if to say ‘You’re welcome.’ I get a better look at his costume and I have to say, it’s awesome. He’s equipped with yellow eye glasses, a white t-shirt, blue jeans, black and red tennis shoes, red and black gloves, and a utility belt.

(Hey! He’s not wearing his hat! That’s a rare sight.) I notice him looking me over.

“Dude, why are you dressed like that,” Stan questions. I wasn’t wearing the costume given to me during our raid on the Fortress of Darkness. I basically looked like Jesus without the beard he is usually seen with. My costume now consisted of black tennis shoes, blue jeans, a light blue t-shirt, a red cape, and a crown. I point towards Cartman’s backyard, showing Stan the castle of Kupa Keep.

“I thought we stopped playing that when Cartman threw the Stick of Truth into Stark’s Pond,” Stan replies.

(I thought it had more to do with the fact that Kenny became a Nazi zombie and nearly killed us.)

We didn’t exactly stop playing the game. After saving Kenny by farting on his balls, we ended the war and united the kingdoms to form the Fighters of Zaron. I was crowned a king, but I was considered lower in rank to Cartman and Kyle.

I then see Kevin and the other two boys walk out of Cartman’s living room.

“Well, I’m gonna go play Star Trek VR,” Kevin says with excitement, “Bye Johnny. Bye Andre.” He waves goodbye before walking towards his house.

The Fractured but Whole: Freedom Pals Unite! Chapter 5: Mission 1: Dolly in Danger Part 1

Mysterion and I climb down from the window pane and into Karen’s bedroom. I feel a chill run down my spine, not only due to the temperature of the room, but also, it’s condition. The room is extremely dirty, with cracks all around the ceiling and walls. The carpet is stained with mystery stains and her furniture looks like it’s about to fall apart at the seams! Her bed is only an extremely filthy mattress! Even though she decorated the walls with multiple drawn pictures of pink butterflies and flowers, the horrible sting of the overall living conditions of the McCormick household overpowers it.

It was moments like this where I really felt pity for Kenny and his family. His dad is usually drunk, almost as bad as Randy; he can’t hold down a job because of it. His mom washes dishes at the local Olive Garden, but she only earns enough for electricity, pop tarts, and frozen waffles, if she is able to keep it away from her husband and her oldest son, Kevin. Kenny seems to be the only member of the family that is trying to better their lives. He’s been working for Mr. Kim at City Wok in order to earn extra money for the house, himself, and Karen. I know that Karen would want to help the family, but she’s too young to understand how hard that is to do.

(No wonder he uses Mysterion to try and change his family’s ways.) I look over to Karen and fell my heart sink even more. Her face shows signs of healing bruises and her green coat is wrinkled and stained. Her maroon gloves look ready to unravel. Her black pants and shoes look alright, and her hair is tied into two cute little pigtails. I watch as Karen runs into Mysterion’s arms, trying hard not to cry again. Mysterion looks at me with a worried look on his face. He smooths Karen’s hair in an attempt to calm her down.

“Shhh, Karen,” Mysterion soothes, “I’m here. Tell what’s wrong.” She lifts her head from Mysterion’s chest and looks up at him. She looks like she’s about to say something, but then she turns her head to me.

“Who is that,” Karen softly asks. Mysterion looks at me and back at his sister.

“Uhh … He’s a guardian angel in training. I brought him along to learn what it means to be a guardian angel.”

(Guardian angel? … Wait, Karen called Kenny that. … Oh my gosh! Kenny, you are a saint!) I can’t help but beam at the realization of what else Kenny’s been doing as Mysterion. I see Mysterion return a soft smile before returning his attention to Karen.

“Karen, please tell us what’s wrong.” She wipes away the emerging tears from her eyes before looking back up at Mysterion.

“I wanted to play with some of the girls from my class at the playground,” Karen whimpers, “so I brought my doll so I could play too. But then these big kids came and started kicking sand at us. I tried to get away, but they pushed me to the ground. They picked on the girls I was playing with and said that hanging out with a poor kid will make them poor to. They then took all of our dolls and ran away. The girls started calling me names and blaming me for what happened. I … I didn’t mean for any of this to happen!” Karen buries her face into Mysterion’s chest and bitterly cries. My heart stops sinking and starts shattering. Mysterion switches between faces of pity and anger.

“So, you’re upset that those girls blamed you for their dolls being taken away,” Mysterion questions.

“No,” Karen squeaks as she looks back up at Mysterion, “I’m more worried about my big brother Kenny! He bought me my doll, and now it’s gone! I lost a gift from him! How can I ever face him after this?!” Karen hugs Mysterion tighter as more crystal tears fall down her cheeks. My heart shatters into dust.

(She’s more worried about Kenny being mad at her for losing her doll.) Mysterion looks as if he’s about to start crying too. He gently kisses Karen’s forehead and holds her closer.

“Karen, your brother loves you. I know that he won’t stop loving you just because your doll was taken from you. Please, don’t think like that.” Karen only continues to cry into Mysterion’s chest. Mysterion’s entire being seems to dim. He falls silent and continues to hug Karen.

I feel the dust of my heart flare up and freeze over. You’d think our modernization would make the citizens of our quiet mountain town more cautious of how they treat one another. … Then again, they did send Officer Barbrady to kill us when we scared many homeless people away from Kenny’s house, forcing them to make camp around Shi Tpa Town and the Whole Foods. Once they learned that we were just playing ninjas, they pushed the blame onto Barbrady when he accidentally shot David. I return my attention to Karen and feel a powerful tugging at my heart. I pull out my note pad and start writing.

(It’s my duty as a Freedom Pal to help the people of this town, and Karen McCormick is one of the few people that truly deserves our help.) I finish my message and clear my throat to get Karen’s attention. As she turns her head towards me, I show her the note.

{We’ll get your doll back for you.} Karen wipes her eyes and looks at me with hope twinkling in her eyes.

“You … you will,” Karen stammers. I give her a sweet smile and confidently nod my head. Karen’s frown transforms into a wide grin as she let’s go of Mysterion and wraps her arms around my waist.

“Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you,” she squeals in delight. I fell the pieces of my heart begin to reassemble as I pat her head. Mysterion gives me a look of pride before returning to his poker face. As Karen let’s go of me, I pull out my note pad again.

{Now, what does your doll look like?}

“She looks like this,” Karen replies. She walks over to the dresser and pulls out one of the bottom drawers. She lifts out a long, medium-sized box and hands it to me. I look at the photo of the doll at the back of the box. It has a baby-like face with rosy cheeks, pink lips, blue eyes, and long eyelashes. Its blonde hair is tied into the same pigtails Karen has. It wears a hot pink dress with a blue flower sown into the side and dark pink flats. I quickly snap a photo of the doll before handing the box back to Karen.

“Please be careful Guardian Angels,” Karen pleads, “The big kids who took my doll were really big and mean.” I pat Karen’s head and give her a reassuring smile. Mysterion gives her a quick hug before leading me back to the window.

“Don’t worry Karen,” Mysterion consoles, “We can handle this.” We pull ourselves onto the window pane and jump down onto the ground. We jog over to the rain gutter and climb up it to reach the roof. Once my feet are on the roof’s surface, Mysterion gently grabs my shoulders and pulls me to the side.

“Thanks for stepping in back there,” Mysterion thanks, “You really gave Karen a hope boost.”

{How could I say no that face?}

“Heh, yeah. One look from Karen and I’m putty in her hands too. If my kryptonite wasn’t poverty, it would be her.” He leaps over to the roof of his garage and trudges up the curved roof of Bi the garage. As I catch up to him, we notice Mrs. Broflovski pulling Gerald away by his ear across the front yard.

“HOW COULD YOU DO THIS,” Shelia rants, “YOU’RE LUCKY THAT KENNY CALLED ME BEFORE YOU COULD DO ANYTHING STUPID!”

“UNHAND ME YOU VILE MAMMARY GOBLIN,” Gerald screeches. I stifle a snicker at the scene. Mysterion smirks in amusement before leading us over to the back of the roof and climbing down onto the glass railing. I follow right behind as we descend down the stairs and out of the abandoned shop.

“Alright Douchebag,” Mysterion instructs, “all investigations should start at the scene of the crime. We’d better head over to the playground. The kids there may have seen what happened to Karen’s doll.” I quickly nod my head and jog behind Mysterion across his yard. We pass over the train tracks and head over to where Kyle’s house is. We turn just a few meters from Kyle’s front lawn and approach the open gate of the playground. I am met the playful cheers of kindergarteners, 1st graders, and a few 2nd graders playing on the pirate themed fort, slide, and swings. I’d have to say that there are about 12 kids in total. I notice Mysterion’s overall demeanor begin to soften as he approaches the sand lot. A little boy with spiky black hair, black sneakers, blue jeans, and a red t-shirt with a monster truck on it notices us and jumps up in excitement.

“It’s Mysterion,” he chants. He rushes over to Mysterion and jumps into his arms just as the other kids begin to stop what they’re doing and rush over themselves. I watch as a wall of bubbly children circle around Mysterion, trying to get his attention by showing him toys or pictures on their phones, tugging on his cloak, or by hugging his legs. Mysterion chuckles in amusement and adoration as he places the black-haired kid down on the asphalt.

MAIN PROJECT PROCESS + EVALUATION

An explanation of my thought process with “PROJECT: @DAYTIMETELEVIISION”

The first thing I did was decide what I wanted to discuss and display in my zine. I have an introductory page, a page explaining why I began posting (or my origin story), a page on my impostor syndrome and name choice, a page about my main goals, a page on my work ethic and finally one discussing how I intend to reach my goal.

Subsequently, I’ve divided this work process and evaluation document into those same six categories, after which I will discuss my self-promotion work and then evaluate the body of work I’ve created as a whole.

1. INTRODUCTION

You only get one chance at a first impression, so I knew I wanted to use one of my favourite illustrations as the main image for the introduction page. Depicted is a robot head I’ve been drawing as a little bit of a sprite for myself since I was 11. If @DAYTIMETELEVIISION had a mascot, it would be this robot. Around that, this page’s structure is made to almost mimic TV and Movie posters, which have the headline at the top and the star-bill at the bottom with a main image in the middle. It’s clean and easy on the eyes, and I feel I used blank space efficiently to draw the eye to the illustration, which I obviously wanted to grab your attention right away.

You can see a little bit of my attitude towards design on this first page already, with the ‘if not now then when, and if not me then who?’ text, which I pulled from N.E.R.D’s song lemon, where Pharrell Williams discusses how imperative it is for him to bring the truth to the people—which is what I consider myself to be doing (but I’ll elaborate in part 5).

At the bottom I include the date, credit to myself for the illustration, an explanation of the zine and the module title. The latter I thought important to include because most of the thinking that went into this zine can be heavily credited to the professional practice module, which encouraged me to think about @DAYTIMETELEVIISION in a much more critical way.

2. ORIGIN STORY

As I explain in my blog, I started my Instagram account as a pandemic pastime. I was making much more art in 2020 which, without my A-Level art class, had no viewers beside myself. No one I live with is a creative, and they don’t really understand or respect art, so I turned my work towards the eyes of the internet. @DAYTIMETELEVIISION was simple back then – drawing pretty pictures and being told my pictures were pretty. It was an added bonus that I could read feedback rather than be told it face to face, as I’m a very shy person and social interactions make me feel drained and anxious.

At the time, it was all I needed, but as you’ll be able to tell, it wasn’t sustainable. With a medium with as much power as visual art, I knew I could be so much more, do so much more for the people around me. Make it so that even black people who grow up around non-creatives have a place to go where they can feel like they have family.

For this spread I changed the style from very bold, blocky, mecha styling to a more fluid and elegant, 2022 graphic design style. I wanted all my spreads to use a different style, and for this one, I felt that the idea of just wanting to make pretty art coincides with the current Instagram design trends, which I’ve found to be lacking in personality and punch. If that doesn’t sum up 2020 @DAYTIMETELEVIISION, I don’t know what does.

3. IMPOSTOR SYNDROME + NAME CHOICE

I didn’t start uploading under the name @DAYTIMETELEVIISION, but I ended up choosing the nickname a month or so into posting. I just couldn’t look at my work and say it looks like ‘Amera Mahamud’s artwork,’ because it doesn’t. My art needed its own name, separated from everything about me besides my creativity and imagination. I felt like I was sticking a 99p Store spoiler on a nice sports car.

I watched a lot of SpongeBob growing up. There are many episodes in the earlier seasons to which I’ve committed the scripts to memory through routinely coming home from school every day to watch Nickelodeon. During the pandemic, my parents were always out searching for jobs and so I was supposed to babysit my younger sister, who was 10 when we first went into lockdown. Born in 2009, she missed out on a lot of the classic earlier seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants, so we started watching them together.

Season 2, episode 13 “Shanghaied” was one of my favourite episodes, and there’s this line in it which made me laugh- ‘It’ll be gruelling, mind-numbing and repetitive! It’ll be like daytime television!’

I watched a lot of reality TV and daytime talk shows during the lockdown, and mind-numbing is being generous. It’s bottom of the barrel, lowest-common denominator pseudo-entertainment made by rich people to mock the working class. But I liked the title. Daytime television rolls off the tongue, and turning something I genuinely dislike into a moniker gave me a little sense of villainy, which was fun.

I know people don’t expect anything great from daytime television, but they should expect greatness from DAYTIMETELEVIISION.

For this page of the zine, I went with a more retro-tech theme, with an SD card type of motif for the SpongeBob quote to reside in. The fun almost yin-yang style of having ‘my name is Amera Mahamud’ and my ‘art is DAYTIMETELEVIISION’ shows the balance I’ve come to. I don’t have to be either or, I’m both. I explained a bit of my struggle with impostor syndrome, and tried to be reserved with how many words I used. It’s difficult, because I’m so passionate, but I know a zine is supposed to be digestible and not an outpour of all my emotions towards my art. Being reserved becomes a little more difficult later on.

4. THE POINT

Like I say in page two, I think more critically about my art and social media presence now. One of the biggest criticisms I’ve gotten in my life is that I’m ‘trying to act White.’ When I ask people to elaborate on why they think this about me, they point out my music taste, stylistic choices and media diet. It seems like the moulds people want a Black girl to fit into consist of one type of music, one type of dress sense and one type of media diet. Even other Black people try to box each other up into these neat compartments.

This is an issue, because it contributes to the myth of Black people being a monolith—when we are in fact the world’s most diverse group of people. The intersections of different kinds of Black people are vast and naming them all would prove insurmountable even for a Black historian. Not all Black people like hip-hop and RnB, not all Black people feel confident in natural hair, and not all Black people like BET or VH1.

Another issue arises when you realise that what you’re attributing to White people is most likely pioneered, and at the very least popularised by Black people.

Skaters wouldn’t have a style if it wasn’t for hip-hop, the punk and emo sound was created by Black New Yorkers – in fact most music genres we have today wouldn’t be possible without the invention of jazz and the blues by Black Americans. Haute-couture and high fashion isn’t white, futuristic styles like Neo-Tokyo and Lo-Fi were spring boarded off of Black artists’ work, and westerners weren’t paying attention to East Asian media like K-pop and animanga until Black-Asian Americans popularised it in the States.

All this is to say that in my art I feature Black girls occupying space in all sorts of genres, because being Black doesn’t look one certain way. You can be a Black girl and enjoy anime, goth, skater, lo-fi high fashion and hip-hop stylings, and it doesn’t make you ‘less Black’ or mean you’re trying to ‘be White.’

For this page I used a black background and white text just because I wanted the colourful cut-out text to pop. It has this very punky, 90’s feel which I feel worked well. It’s like an elevated ‘all rights reserved’ sex pistols motif, which feels more DAYTIMETELEVIISION. The good thing about DAYTIMETELEVIISION is that it’s purposefully vague—I bounce around all different types of styles to represent as many subcultures as I can for Black people, so there’s a huge breadth of things which can be considered DAYTIMETELEVIISION.

I wish I could’ve included more text but having this document as an outlet means I can at least fully explain my ideas behind each page.

Also, calling myself a ‘black supremacist’ isn’t really a joke- the rest of my bottom text on each page is pretty fun and light-hearted, but my politics when it comes to my community has become very radical in the last few years. I don’t think white people are beneath me, but I don’t feel like just saying I’m a Black rights activist truly represents how much I love black people.

Overall, this was my favourite page of the whole zine. But I had a little trouble keeping the wordcount down.

5. WORK ETHIC

So, I discussed who I am and what I stand for, but what needed to come next was some of my work, and an explanation of what I plan to do with my platform to reach my goal of representing Black girls in all types of subcultures.

Simply put, I just have to draw until my wrist falls off. This is the grind. Do personal art and take commissions and work with other Black creatives, build a circle of other Black creators to collaborate with. Like I explain in the DAYTIMETELEVIISION report, I am mutuals with a solid group of Black femmes who I regularly talk with, and we exchange unfinished works with each other for guidance on what to do to push ourselves.

I’m building on my circle, and in the meantime, I’m drawing wherever I can. I try really hard not to take too many breaks from my weekly posting schedule, but at the ends of semesters I can find myself stretched a bit thin and end up having to take mini hiatuses. Other than that, though, as someone with as many ideas as I have, I just have to keep drawing.

For this page, I used the most recent drawing I’d had up on my account at the time of posting. I based the rest of the page’s colour scheme and vibe off of it. It’s maximalism and yet feels refined and cohesive. The cherry icon I added was a reference to the brief mention I made of the Instagram algorithm in my zine, as well as the more extensive mention I made of its bias towards White creators in the @DAYTIMETELEVIISION report. It often feels like you’re just posting and creating and hoping one day you’ll have your big break – it’s a game of chance, like fruit slot machines. I added a noise texture overlay to add to the very lo-fi, saturated old-cartoon style happening on the page. This was another one I had a bit of trouble with in terms of stripping back the words.

6. THE FUTURE

For this last page, I was putting all my previous points together. This page is like a map of what was and is, so I can better understand what I’m moving on to. For now, and thanks to the professional practice module, I know what @DAYTIMETELEVIISION is, and who @DAYTIMETELEVIISION will be. Someone who puts Black people first and continues to point out the fact that we shall no longer be pushed out of spaces which we create.

I used all the styles together, and explained what I want to do. Now all that’s left to do is do it.

SELF PROMO

For my self-promotion, I reused most of the format for page one, but stripped it back and put information about my account on there, rather than about the zine/module. I wonder how well it would work in a business card format, because if I made the bottom text a little bigger, I could most likely use this promotion piece as a real business card. I think it suits DAYTIMETELEVIISION wonderfully and is an eye-catching, futuristic piece. I’m very proud of it.

[I included my self-promotion at the bottom of my zine PDF to adhere to the rules of submission]

EVALUATION

Overall, I really enjoyed this project. I feel like I was halfway to self-realisation at the beginning of the module but for the time being, I think I’ve got myself figured out. The resources I found most helpful during Professional Practice were learning week three’s WeNetwork talk about designer responsibility (and the surrounding material) and learning week six’s off-site visit. The former taught me to stick to my guns about what kind of design I want to do and who I want to do it for, and the latter taught me not to water down my design and find purpose in my style. People come to my account for DAYTIMETELEVIISION, and DAYTIMETELEVIISION is not your average designer. I learned to trust that unconventional, perhaps over-the-top design eye I have.

My zine came out pretty well, and I feel like it’s a good informant of who I am as a designer. If I could change something, I think I would’ve added more of my own art, but it was difficult finding natural ways to incorporate it which didn’t feel like shoehorning. I really look forward to seeing what people think of me after reading through this. I may post it to my secondary Instagram account which is more for graphic design than illustration, @LATENIGHTTELEVIISION.

Cassini: Space probes, history and women

I have just read a lovely article by Rebekah Higgitt on the various Cassinis that worked in France as astronomers. One of them was Giovanni Domenico (or Jean Dominique) Cassini (8 June 1625 – 14 September 1712), the first director of the observatory founded by Louis XIV, and discoverer, amongst other things, of four satellites of the planet Saturn. He gave his name to the Cassini space probe (together with Huygens, of whom more below) which is currently making headlines, as it is flying between Saturn and its rings.

I absolutely loved the composite image that heads up the article, showing a photograph of Saturn’s rings taken from the Cassini Spacecraft in 2017 and a diagram of Saturn’s rings by Jean Dominique Cassini and published in 1676 in Philosophical Transactions (the journal published by the Royal Society here in the UK). These long arcs in the history of science and technology bring science and technology to life and give them depth – and made me think.

Space probes and their names: Diving into space and into history

Quite a few space probes can be used to establish these arcs of history and some enthusiasts might follow and admire them, while for others such names might be as arbitrary as any word in a language. I am a bit of an enthusiast, so I try to follow the arcs.

Looking at various lists of space craft, space probes, space telescopes, space observatories and so online, I realised that such naming of space crafts after astronomers like Cassini only started relatively recently (but somebody might have to do a bit more research on that).

Initially space probes had names like Sputnik (‘fellow traveller of earth’), Explorer, Beacon, Mariner, Pioneer, Vanguard, Viking, Voyager. Some mythological names also crept in, such as Luna, Ariel, Phobos, Ulysses, Juno, even ‘Ikaros’, and of course Rosetta and Philae!

Then gradually, names of famous astronomers began to be used for space crafts, such as:

Galileo: This is an American unmanned spacecraft that studied the planet Jupiter and its moons – named after Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642), an Italian polymath: astronomer, physicist, engineer, philosopher, and mathematician.

Kepler: Kepler is a space observatory launched in 2009 by NASA to discover Earth-size planets orbiting other stars. It was named after Johannes Kepler (December 27, 1571 – November 15, 1630) was a German mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer.

Huygens: Huygens was an atmospheric entry probe that landed successfully on Saturn’s moon Titan in 2005 (in collaboration with Cassini, so to speak). It was named after Christiaan Huygens, FRS (14 April 1629 – 8 July 1695), a prominent Dutch mathematician and scientist. He is known particularly as an astronomer, physicist, probabilist and horologist.

Herschel: The Herschel Space Observatory was a space observatory built and operated by the European Space Agency and was active from 2009 to 2013. It was named after Frederick William Herschel, FRS (15 November 1738 – 25 August 1822), a British astronomer and composer of German origin, and brother of fellow astronomer Caroline Herschel, with whom he worked.

These crafts, probes and observatories allow us here down on earth not only to visit space, but, if we are so minded, also to voyage across time to explore long stretches of the history of science. They also show us images of ‘ourselves’ that shrink time and space and should make us feel rather humble and at one with each other.

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft captured this view of planet Earth as a point of light between the icy rings of Saturn on April 12, 2017. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute

Alongside these space probes named after ‘older’ historical figures, there are, of course, also those named after ‘younger’ ones:

Hubble: This a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation – and its images adorn calendars and posters all over the world. It was named after Edwin Powell Hubble (November 20, 1889 – September 28, 1953), an American astronomer. He played a crucial role in establishing the fields of extragalactic astronomy and observational cosmology and is regarded as one of the most important astronomers of all time.

Planck: This is a space observatory operated by the European Space Agency from 2009 to 2013, which mapped the the cosmic microwave background at microwave and infra-red frequencies, with high sensitivity and small angular resolution. It was named after Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck, FRS (23 April 1858 – 4 October 1947, a German theoretical physicist whose discovery of energy quanta won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.

James Webb: The James Webb Space Telescope, previously known as Next Generation Space Telescope, is a part of NASA’s ongoing Flagship program. It is under construction and scheduled to launch in October 2018. It was named after James Edwin Webb (October 7, 1906 – March 27, 1992), an American government official who served as the second administrator of NASA from February 14, 1961 to October 7, 1968.

These are all contraptions, indeed marvels of science and technology, through which we can observe space but also immerse ourselves in shorter stretches of the history of science, if we care to take the time. We might learn something….

Rebekah Higgitt has provided us with a great overview of ‘Cassini’ – from the man to the mission (take the time to read the article and the comments!). We now need a few more such articles about Huygens, Kepler, and so on.

Where are the women?

Most of all though, we need something else: We don’t just need mythical women as names for space craft, we need real women! Here are a few.

Why don’t we start with naming the next space probe Somerville or Mitchell or…. pick your favourite.

I’ll end with a quote I just found in a post on the astronomer Maria Mitchell: “Nothing comes out more clearly in astronomical observations than the immense activity of the universe. ‘All change, no loss, ’tis revolution all.’” As the blogger, Maria Popova, points out, “Maria Mitchell (August 1, 1818–June 28, 1889) played an enormous and lasting role in paving the way for women in science. [She was] the first recognized female astronomer in America and the first woman elected, unanimously, to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences”.

The post Cassini: Space probes, history and women appeared first on Making Science Public.

Thom, Miles, Kyle, Barb, Maria, Gina, Dana, Elaine, DeAnn, Cynthia, Elaine, Jonathan, Phillip, Eric, Michael, River, Felix, Harry “Women represent the triumph of matter over mind, just as men represent the triumph of mind over morals.”– Oscar Wilde LIFE IS ABOUT RELINQUISHMENT Matthew 5:20-26 Life is about dying daily to our old self, it is about relinquishment. Moaning, grieving is about relinquishment. Throughout our social media, our newspaper and twenty four hour news cycle there is continued moaning and grieving, the old is passing. I have moaned and grieved over the San Francisco I moved into nearly twenty three years ago; I run into guys, whom I knew in their twenties, come back to Polk Street, now in their 40's trying to relive lives that are no more. Recently someone sent me a photo of my days in prostitution in L.A. commenting, "You were a pretty boy," well that "pretty boy" is long gone. We always fight against relinquishment--if not queers, than Muslims, then immigrants, and after all of these we will find new candidates. We do not want to give up what we treasure. Easter laughs at the fear of relinquishment and opens the gate to the God who treats all equally, with love, without regard to boundaries. Today when we Vigil Against the Death Penalty at 305 McAllister Street, at 11:00 a.m. we are laughing against death and saying yes to life. For with relinquishment comes new life, always. The prayer of Walt Brueggeman is a prayer for us during this time of relinquishment: "Strengthen us to relinquish the old world, O God, that we might receive the gift of hope and joy on the other side of grief. Amen. Fr. River Damien Sims, sfw, D.Min. candidate\ Temenos Catholic Worker/Franciscans Against the Death Penalty P.O. Box 642656 San Francisco, CA 94164 www.temenos.org [email protected]
