While the world's attention was stolen by celebrities decked out in $10,000+ outfits and Sudanese blood diamonds, Israel used the distraction to begin its invasion of Rafah. The scenes of celebrities who have failed to use their extensive platform to mobilize against this genocide contrasted with fathers begging the remains of their slaughtered children to wake up. These people could use their platforms to levy significant pressure against Israel, yet so many of them chose not to. We need to presser them to stand up for what is right; here is how:

#it's about people who have gone through events that are uncannily similar but have dealt it both the events and the aftermath in#drastically different ways. one of them was surrounded by people who didn't look and sometimes didn't act the part but ultimately meant#only well and the other only had one person who cared about him near him and not even that person was in a good enough place to give him#that sort of empowerment‚ the strength to try and fight against impossible odds and an inescapable situation#and i've seen takes (don't remember where) that state that rai is ultimately so much stronger than v because he managed to free himself#from the shackles of his assigned fate whereas v 'failed' to do so but like... i believe that v is equally as strong for just... existing.#and maybe the world would've been better off if he had died as soon as he learned the truth but he lived because he wanted to see a better#world and believed that him being stripped of his identity was a small price to pay for a better world but what makes him even stronger in#my eyes is the fact that he KEPT LIVING even when he realized that there was no way to make things better from his position as much as he#wanted to and when he saw that everything was going to hell and that he was doomed to just... stay there and be trapped and be forced to#work for ideas that directly oppose his own#and DESPITE ALL OF IT‚ HE KEPT HIMSELF ALIVE (until nato called and said ''hey bibo if you don't respond to the allegations we will nuke#your house'' (referring to V's OH) and bibo just. did not answer. and threw v under the bus and let him die like he was nothing#like i need you to understand this man has the mental resolve of joy herself but you aren't ready for that talk#look point is i think that if they were to ever meet rai would initially not like v at all and couldn't exactly pinpoint why he doesn't#like him - he's polite‚ relatively kind‚ a bit sassy at times‚ and really quiet‚ which in a way mirrors his own mannerisms - so he has no#clue as to why he /doesn't like him at all/ (and of course rai being rai would be polite in turn but he'd never be earnestly amiable)#UNTIL one of them tries to start a conversation about more mundane topics like music or movies and as they exchange opinions rai realizes#that he really doesn't have to bother with the whole thing about resolve and determination to pursue your own goals and differences in#ideologies and that he can just talk to this guy as if he were one of his friends from nyc from back when life was relatively normal#(aka before big shell and when the memories of his past were artificially surpressed HMM PARALLELS YES)#in conclusion v is less anti-raiden and more the second coming of joy and also the two of them would (eventually) be friends and talk about#film and music. rai would absolutely DIG some of the 80's stuff v listens to. thank you for joining me on yet another episode of 'insanity#with fionna'#zeta gear tag#i wrote a lot here and i've made some good points so in the tag it goes

Luther Vandross resisted being called "the Love Doctor" because he elegantly expressed romantic emotions and yearnings without blatant sexual innuendos. His rich, velvety voice made difficult and sophisticated vocal techniques seem effortless. He interpreted popular love songs with his own unique style.
When you attended a Luther concert you came dressed up and he did not disappoint with the oppulance on display in his sets and costumes. One of the many highlights of his concerts was his marvelous ten minute rendition, “A House Is Not A Home“. He could melt every heart in the audience and transport them into another place and time.
Join us in our Luther Celebration featuring a Panel Discussion with Luther's backing vocalist, Cindy Mizelle, Luther's choreographer, James Ervin, a live performance by Keith Anthony Fluitt, a Fashion Show spotlighting Luther's timeless elegance, a Live DJ, and an inspiring weight journey with Graffiti Glamour founder, Alicia Mitchell on 4/17: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/luther-vandross-celebration-never-too-much-tickets-843474333437?aff=ebdshpsearchautocomplete

My very last comic for The Nib! End of an era! Transcription below the cut. instagram / patreon / portfolio / etsy / my book / redbubble
The first event I went to with GENDER QUEER was in NYC in 2019 at the Javits Center.
So many of the people who came to my signing were librarians, and so many of them said the same thing: "I know exactly who I want to give this to!" Maia: "Thank you for helping readers find my book!" While working on the book, I was genuinely unsure if anyone outside of my family and close friends would read it. But the early support of librarians and two American Library Association awards helped sell two print runs in first year.
Since then, GENDER QUEER been published in 8 languages, with more on the way: Spanish, Czech, Polish, French, Italian, Norwegian, Portugese and Dutch.
It has also been the most banned book in the United States for the past two years. The American Library Association has tracked an astronomical increase in book challenges over the past few years. Most of these challenges are to books with diverse characters and LGBTQ themes. These challenges are coming unevenly across the US, in a pattern that mirrors the legislative attacks on LGBTQ people. The Brooklyn Public Library offered free eCards to anyone in the US aged 13-21, in an effort to make banned books more available to young readers. A teacher in Norman, Oklahoma gave her students the QR code for the free eCard and lost her job. Summer Boismeir is now working for the Brooklyn Public Library. Hoopla and Libby/Overdrive, apps used to access digital library books, are now banned in Mississippi to anyone under 18. Some libraries won’t allow anyone under 18 to get any kind of library card without parental permission. When librarians in Jamestown, Michigan refused to remove GENDER QUEER and several other books, the citizens of the town voted down the library’s funding in the fall 2022 election. Without funding, the library is due to close in mid-2024. My first event since covid hit was the American Library Association conference in June 2022 in Washington, DC. Once again, the librarians in my signing line all had similar stories for me: “Your book was challenged in our district" "It was returned to the shelf!" "It was removed from the shelf..." "It was moved to the adult section."
Over and over I said: "Thank you. Thank you for working so hard to keep my book in your library. I’m sorry you had to defend it, but thank you for trying, even if it didn't work." We are at a crossroads of freedom of speech and censorship. The future of libraries, both publicly funded and in schools, are at stake. This is massively impacting the daily lives of librarians, teachers, students, booksellers, and authors around the country. In May 2023, I read an article from the Washington Post analyzing nearly 1000 of the book challenges from the 2021-2022 school year. I was literally on route to a festival to talk about book bans when I read a startling statistic. 60% of the 1000 book challenges were submitted by just 11 people. One man alone was responsible for 92 challenges. These 11 people seem to have made submitting copy-cat book challenges their full-time hobby and their opinions are having an outsized ripple effect across the nation. WE NEED TO MAKE THE VOICES SUPPORTING DIVERSE BOOKS AND OPPOSING BOOK BANS EVEN LOUDER. If you are able too, show up for your library and school board meetings when book challenges are debated. Send supportive comments and emails about the Pride book display and Drag Queen story hours. If you see a display you like– for Banned Book Week, AAPI Month, Black History Month, Disability Awareness Month, Jewish holidays, Trans Day of Remembrance– compliment a librarian! Make sure they feel the love stronger than the hate <3

You Asked for Things to Do in Nyc this Summer,—and Here's What We Recommend
Tumblr media
In this week's blog post, I choose to share some interesting information about my street summer time in America and Jamaica. Queens Brooklyn Bronx Manhattan I'm going to share with you a little bit of my teenage life, coming from the Jamaican islands which hold different cultures of all types of nations. You will have to change your way of movement. Learn more about the big city. I love music most of my teen life. I go wherever it is happening. Backyard parties and indoor clubs were my play ground. This was the time before the big internet and social media. The police did not understand that we were smoking cannabis and drinking. Many people were out in the party. If you will see women dancing with men. No smartphone was around. We had home phones and call boxes. We set a time and meet up to party the next morning.
New York City Caribbean party night I talk it live. I remember taking an African American woman and asking her for a dance. She did not know how to move to the base of the beats. I noticed they grew to love the dancehall reggae music over the years. They learned how we Jamaicans talked and how we vibe. Big respect to all my Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Manhattan women who love the sound of reggae. Summertime here in New York is my best time to see women show off their bodies. If you play your game right, you might find yourself in love with an American woman or another natural beauty nation.
when you are in New York City. Running around when the sun comes up in the summer, if you are into going to sea, do a search on Google. If you choose to go, be on your best behavior and follow the rule.
Summertime dating and meeting women in New York I like taking a woman to a reggae stage show if they are not Jamaican. I introduce them to Jerk Chicken, Roots drinks, and real high grades. Sometimes road trips are fun to do if the money is right, or you can just take the train or drive to Manhattan on forty-second street, where you have a Boardway live show. outdoor movie clubs life, however you choose it, is up to you.
