James Weldon Johnson – Lift Every Voice And Sing lyrics

Lift every voice and sing Till earth and Heaven ring Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise, High as The list'ning skies, let it resound loud as the Rolling sea Sing a song full of faith that the Dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of The hope that the present has brought Us; Facing the rising sun of our new day Begun, Let us march on till victory is Won. Stony the road we trod, Bitter the Chast'ning rod, Felt in the day that hope Unborn had died; Yet with a steady Beat, Have not our weary feet, Come to the Place on which our fathers sighed?

We have Come over a way that with tears has been Watered, We have come, treading our path Through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from The gloomy past, till now we stand at Last Where the white gleam of our star is Cast.

God of our weary years, God of Our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus Far on the way; Thou who has by thy Might, Led us into the light, Keep us Forever in the path, we pray

Lest our feet Stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Least our hearts, drunk with the wine of The world, we forget thee,

Shadowed beneath the Hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land

Further clarifications and examples! jackabug — Yesterday at 10:30 PM i have been talking with te about very old fic of ours that meets a completely arbitrary standard we set today of 'involves at least five canonical female characters who each interacted with at least one of the other four female characters in canon in more than a glancing manner,' and how deucedly rare it is to find modern fandoms in which it is possible to write fic that meets said arbitrary standard. we expanded the convo to include petra, who pointed out that s1 sailor moon was five main female characters. StefanyD — Yesterday at 10:32 PM 5 main, and an extended cast of 5 more Give or take jackabug — Yesterday at 10:32 PM well, 5 are all that's needed StefanyD — Yesterday at 10:33 PM Okey jackabug — Yesterday at 10:33 PM but i thought, if anyone would know of other manga/anime properties that pass the six degrees of sexperation standard, it would be you!

StefanyD — Yesterday at 10:35 PM You'd be right. jackabug — Yesterday at 10:35 PM it''s a tough job, but someone's gotta do it. StefanyD — Yesterday at 10:35 PM Strawberry panic. Catholic school lesbians jackabug — Yesterday at 10:36 PM heart StefanyD — Yesterday at 10:39 PM Hm. Most magical girl shows are this. Tokyo Mew Mew, magical do re mi, etc Though do re mi starts with 3 and later becomes 5 So the qualifications are iffy jackabug — Yesterday at 10:40 PM no, we're counting shows that don't have the full 5 until later seasons, you're good StefanyD — Yesterday at 10:43 PM Cool. jackabug — Yesterday at 10:44 PM \o/ StefanyD — Yesterday at 10:44 PM All pretty cure seasons. Madoka magica. Hm. There's more than just magical girl genre, but like. points at the genre as a whole jackabug — Yesterday at 10:45 PM :: nods :: oh, do you know whether 'one piece' has enough gals? i know it has a large ensemble but not a lot of details. StefanyD — Yesterday at 10:47 PM We talking just main characters? jackabug — Yesterday at 10:48 PM main characters, plus recurring characters if they're effectively main for at least part of a season, so long as there are at least 5 female characters who overlap chronologically. StefanyD — Yesterday at 10:49 PM One piece has enough gals. Great gals. Love them. jackabug — Yesterday at 10:49 PM \o/ it seems like a wholesome show StefanyD — Yesterday at 10:49 PM Give me a second to like, rerun the whole thing in my head tho and count real quick jackabug — Yesterday at 10:49 PM sure StefanyD — Yesterday at 10:50 PM Mhmm. It does count. Bleach does too jackabug — Yesterday at 10:50 PM there are a bunch of shows that have, like, 3 main f characters, plus 3 more who are there enough to count but not at the same time as each other. i have heard of bleach but know nothing about it StefanyD — Yesterday at 10:52 PM Good show, great art. Well. Amazing art that evolved from okay art. Anyways there's more but did that help? jackabug — Yesterday at 10:53 PM tremendously! feel free to add any other qualifying media you come up with to the eventual tumblr post, as replies or reblogs, whatever StefanyD — Yesterday at 10:55 PM :thumbsup:

Six Degrees of Sexperation

jackabug — Today at 9:13 PM i have been talking with te about very old fic of ours that meets a completely arbitrary standard we set today of 'involves at least five canonical female characters who each interacted with at least one of the other four female characters in canon in more than a glancing manner,' and how deucedly rare it is to find modern fandoms in which it is possible to write fic that meets said arbitrary standard. Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:14 PM Ouch, yeah. That's the transdimensional Bechdel test, is it? jackabug — Yesterday at 9:16 PM it's the six degrees of sexperation

Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:17 PM But there's five of them? jackabug — Yesterday at 9:20 PM five characters, six degrees Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:26 PM Having it be Five Characters is very "Hey, Sailor Moon!" to my inner teenager tbf jackabug — Yesterday at 9:27 PM okay Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:27 PM s1 Sailor Moon has a team of 5 jackabug — Yesterday at 9:28 PM yes, i know but 'five degrees of separation' isn't really a thing, and lacks alliteration, unlike the thing i'm trying to allude to. Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:29 PM Fair. jackabug — Yesterday at 9:36 PM te and i have just had a disheartening realization about our arbitrary standard 'ally mcbeal' passed it. Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:37 PM hands I don't remember shit about Ally McBeal, so it's probably that your test is arbitrary. jackabug — Yesterday at 9:38 PM that show is my shorthand example for everything wrong with hollywood, and has been for a long time. Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:38 PM Ah. jackabug — Yesterday at 9:39 PM among other things, it was notorious for the way one showrunner would run up and slap food out of the hands of female actors on the show if they dared to try to eat between scenes or takes. Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:40 PM I remember Calista Flockhart being terrifyingly thin. jackabug — Yesterday at 9:40 PM so yeah, that's what makes that particular show 'passing' particularly galling Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:41 PM nods jackabug — Yesterday at 9:47 PM interestingly, st:tng, ds9, and voyager all only just barely come up short ds9 & voy both had enough female characters, but not all at the same time Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:48 PM I think Farscape runs into the "Not all at the same time" problem too jackabug — Yesterday at 9:49 PM hm, yeah, even if you count moya as a female character i suspect the battlestar galactica reboot is another edge case? Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:50 PM There are a Lot of female characters in BSG but they're not all in the same place I haven't rewatched it, so I'm not sure. jackabug — Yesterday at 9:50 PM :: nods :: Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:51 PM I'd have to go figure out whether six of the Cylons are female, or whether different iterations of the same Cylon count as different women. jackabug — Yesterday at 9:51 PM if you like. if not, i'm not fussed. doctor who almost certainly suffers from 'not all at the same time' Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:52 PM I think it's not really a One Ensemble show it's a "These characters over here, these characters over There, and these characters having their own story" show jackabug — Yesterday at 9:52 PM dw kind of defies categorization with other f&sf shows Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 9:52 PM That's BSG, not Who jackabug — Yesterday at 9:53 PM oic i know without needing to check that babylon 5 didn't make it hunh. te and i were just pondering 'angel' -- it failed in earlier seasons, but so did 'buffy', whereas they both did have enough contemporaneous female characters in later seasons. Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 10:00 PM Discworld 100% passes. jackabug — Yesterday at 10:00 PM \o/ malazan book of the fallen also passes -- hard not to, with as many characters as there are in there, lol Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 10:01 PM Oo, Scott & Bailey, with flying fucking colors. Suburban Shootout also passes, while we're talking about British TV shows no one has ever heard of

jackabug — Yesterday at 10:03 PM :: snickering :: Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 10:07 PM I forgot how ridiculous that show is, dear GOD happy sigh -- but, well, it has six main female characters Of A Certain Age, before you even get wee!Ruth Wilson and her boyfriend Hiddles in the mix jackabug — Yesterday at 10:11 PM hunh, i may have been wrong about b5 -- i don't recall clearly enough how much overlap there was between the various characters' runs on the show, but there were more than 5 significant female characters. Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 10:15 PM Ah, also in the "Definitely passes, fuck these guys" with Ally McBeal is The Magicians I remember attempting, at one point, to make a grid of what each character's soulmark would be for the other eight main characters, four of whom are women, and there are plenty of other female characters for them to all interact with along the way. jackabug — Yesterday at 10:17 PM nice, if it weren't for that stab in the back you get while leaning in to count them Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 10:17 PM Yep. jackabug — Yesterday at 10:18 PM mad max: fury road! Petra Lemaitre — Yesterday at 10:19 PM Indeed. jackabug — Yesterday at 10:20 PM i think black panther just misses, as while there are plenty of female characters not enough of them have more than a line or two, though i could be wrong.

@featherymainffins This may point you in the right direction, be a red herring, or remind your medical team of something else to check (if I'm not already too late to the party, as I see your post is a few weeks old already). Many people who have had their gallbladders removed, including myself and my wife @teland, find that at some point after the surgery -- weeks, months, or even years later! -- their bodies stop being able to digest certain foods. With lack of a gallbladder, the typical digestion failure affects raw fruits and vegetables first, then cooked plant foods, then starches, and meats last. But the order isn't the same for everyone.

The one good thing about this side-/after-effect of gallbladder removal is that there's a medication that works very well for most patients to restore their ability to eat a varied diet; it's called cholestyramine. The downside is that rather than a pill, it's a resin suspension that you mix with water or juice and chug as fast as you can because that shit is like drinking a Tang-flavored mud puddle; most prescribers and pharmacies won't warn you, but BRUSH YOUR TEETH after downing cholestyramine, or at least rinse very well with plain water, because otherwise it WILL damage your enamel. (Dubious side benefit: you can use the cholestyramine suspension to remove tarnish from your sliver silverware without needing to scrub...) Anyway, there's a nonzero chance that your issue has something to do with your gallbladder and/or liver (yes, even though they did a cursory liver-function test not long ago), so if necessary push for a referral to an internal medicine specialist, gastroenterologist, and/or hepatologist, depending on what you've undergone symptom- and differential-diagnosis-wise since you asked your original question. Good luck!

Hey! I know that this isn't something you struggle with but since a lot of your other followers are disabled as well, it would mean a lot to me if you could publish this ask since I'd like to see if anyone else experiences anything similar to what I'm going through. I'm not asking for anyone to armchair diagnose me, I'd just appreciate not feeling so alone and scared and confused. My general physician is claiming that my anxiety is causing the issues I'll describe but I call bullshit on that:

About two years ago, cca 4 months after my top surgery, my body stopped being able to process oil. Whenever I'd eat anything that was made with oil of any kind, I'd get cramps in the abdomen after a while and I'd get diarrhea. Caffeine started to do this also but in a smaller intensity. I had a hysterectomy a bit after that and they checked my kidneys and liver so I know that those are both ok and not the cause. I also got checked for Celiac since it runs in the family. Because the issue wasn't getting worse and my then general physician was always dismissive, I let it be. When I wasn't having diarrhea, I was constipated, though I did have a bowel movement like once or twice a week. Fast forward to now. In August, it suddenly got a lot worse. At first, even a single drop of oil would make me feel ill. Then, the time period got longer - currently the cramps and the pain last for 48 hours afterwards. I also became unable to digest animal fats, the only meat I can eat is lean chicken and fish. Afterwards, gluten became an issue (Celiac is still negative), and then nuts as well.

My new GP, even though she believes it to be anxiety, gave me Itopride, and it worked for about 3 weeks - I had no cramps, pain, exhaustion, gas or bloating after eating, and I had a bowel movement once a day. But it stopped working two days ago, again without a reason, and the effects started being less effective about a week ago. Even when taking the meds, I have a movement only once in about 8 days, and laxatives make me gassy but nothing happens. I'm also not sure about this, but it seems that chicken is no longer safe either.

I think it's important that if I don't take Itopride, I never even feel the urge to go, so when I say that I've always been constipated, I mean that I don't even feel the need to have a movement. Lately, when I take Itopride, I do get the urge that I do always get when taking it, but it's like I can't go, so I always feel full.

I just feel super scared and I have no idea what's going on. I admit that I have a history of eating disorders (in recovery since May) and I did abuse laxatives about a year ago, but I don't think it was enough to cause such serious issues? I used to take them like once a week and for about 3-4 months.

I'd really appreciate knowing if anyone has ever experienced anything similar or knows about anything like this because I feel like my life is in shambles - can't go outside for long because I might need the toilet suddenly, or I'm in too much pain to walk, I'm afraid to eat, I often feel repulsive, I don't know what might happen in a month, I am becoming incapable of taking care of myself and my flat because I'm just so goddamn tired.

Ooft, I’m sorry. It sounds like you’ll need a colonoscopy to figure this one out, so if you haven’t had one yet, really push for a referral.

Fwiw, I do experience something like this, but it’s from mast cell inflammation in my GI tract. The doc prescribed me bentyl for when things flare up but I’m also on a fiber supplement (citrucel. It’s a lot gentler than other types) to try and keep that from happening. Also if you’re low on b vitamins, your stomach sometimes stops digesting food, so maybe also ask about getting your levels checked. Taking an additional b2 supplement means I can process fats and oils again which I couldn’t before.

I’m not saying this to be like “this is what you have” just throwing them out there as suggestions that might help you piece together what might be wrong.

I hope you get more helpful comments in the notes 💖
