"The image of the South, in all its complexity, is so powerful in us that it is a force which has to be encountered and engaged. The writer must wrestle with it, like Jacob with the angel, until he has extracted a blessing" -Flannery O'Connor

I hope that in all my comics and drawings you read the words in a Southern/Texas Accent. It’s what I would have wanted.

Since Ragatha is some kind of doll powered by a battery, does that mean she's technically a robot? Or is she a cyborg since there was a document that revealed she does have organic cells.

Of a sort!! Ragatha started as a brain cell organoid to be used in a supercomputer (sort of like DeepSouth, irl, pretty interesting concept albeit horrifying to think about). Brain cells crave input so much that they will sometimes literally grow their own optic cups/eyes. The scientists cultivating the cells that became Ragatha kinda went off the deep end of this "craving input" and made her a body to see if said brain cells could adapt and grow the same neural connections mimicking a human's brain.

TL;DR Ragatha is pretty much a brain piloting a plush/robot suit don't think too hard on it b/c this is just for funsies, and I ain't a scientist

Our brains are remarkably energy efficient. Using just 20 watts of power, the human brain is capable of processing the equivalent of an exaflop — or a billion-billion mathematical operations per second. Now, researchers in Australia are building what will be the world's first supercomputer that can simulate networks at this scale. The supercomputer, known as DeepSouth, is being developed by Western Sydney University. When it goes online next year, it will be capable of 228 trillion synaptic operations per second, which rivals the estimated rate of operations in the human brain.

hi sarah! 4 a little media exchange, here's a poem that really touched me, my take is that it's about seeing back through history all these moments that made out lives today & how tender but also mostly how violent & incomprehensible it is that we survive again & again. in exchange i'll take anything u've got, hope ur having a lovely day💚

in exchange, sharing a poem i read today for thursday. it's very simple and beautiful and reminds me a lot of someone new in my life that i've grown to adore so it resonates even more. i hope you like it too!

Today's #BlackAuthors Series is discussing Richard Wright. Like many African-Americans, he was abused in childhood by family and a racist system, and he sought to escape it at all costs.

South of Midnight is a third person action-adventure game set in the American Deep South and tells a dark modern folktale and is driven by a rich narrative, unique and moody art direction, and deep thematic gameplay elements. We like to refer to the game as ‘wide linear’ with some explorable areas but gated to require completion of the story in that area before moving on to the next.

FLP BOOK OF THE DAY: Above the Fold by Scott Ruescher

On SALE: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/above-the-fold-by-scott-ruescher/

Above the Fold takes the reader along for vicarious experiences of sundry places in the author’s native Central Ohio and his adopted New England, in Appalachia and the Deep South, and in various regions of Latin America and England. Whether peeking over the side of a hairpin turn on a mountain road in Kentucky, encountering a flower vendor on a roadside in Colombia, or looking through the window of a one-room schoolhouse in New Hampshire, these storytelling #poems explore not just the visible attributes and #histories of #places, but the #lives of #people who have inhabited them, in effect making public landmarks of even the most obscure locations. At the core of these poems is an inquisitive love of adventure, a sympathetic and amused curiosity about #places and people, and an urge to use the imagination, in a heightened state of verbal awareness, to salvage experience.

Scott Ruescher is the author of one previous full-length collection of poems—Waiting for the Light to Change (Prolific Press, 2017)—and of two chapbooks, Sidewalk Tectonics and Perfect Memory. In retirement from higher-ed administration and teaching jobs, he writes promotional copy for an affordable-housing nonprofit and works in ESOL and citizenship classrooms in the immigrant communities of Boston.

PRAISE FOR Above the Fold by Scott Ruescher

“In Above the Fold Scott Ruescher continues his excavation of the American Dream gone dry begun in Waiting for the Light to Change (Prolific Press, 2017). But this collection is not at all bleak. Scott examines the decayed artifacts with precision, humor and compassion, as well as a willingness to recognize the unsheepish among us — northerners, southerners, midwesterners, gringos, paisanos — who now and then manage to situate themselves above the fold.”

–Charles Casey Martin, economic development advisor in Panamá, Perú, Colombia, and El Salvador, and author of the novel Godchildren and of two chapbooks of poetry, Deer Blind and Almost Persuaded.

“What a pleasure to see through Scott Ruescher’s eyes—his wildly close attention to details, his moving reverence for ordinary things, and the imprints of family and history he finds as easily in a public monument as in an abandoned shed. With a visual artist’s priorities and an historian’s passion, he takes us through graveyards, gardens, and disasters in New England, Ohio, the South, England, and Latin America—everywhere attending to the magic of the taken for granted.”

–Jessica Hoffmann Davis, EdD, retired Senior Lecturer and Arts in Education Chair, Harvard Graduate School of Education, author of Ordinary Gifted Children and Why Our Schools Need the Arts.

There should be a #blackplanet specific coverage on every news website throughout the world. Like how they have press for Canada and other countries on CNN. Except the need is everywhere. It's a stronger voice if there's unity and equality. It should be operate outside of the traditional world news coverage. To build a network of reporters that can keep their ecologic differences from overwhelming new content. It's all beautiful until it isn't. What happens in the United Kingdom to Africans should appear on the same page as what happens in the U.S. and then in Africa. Promote community. How else can we give control of the land back to the people that cannot live without it, literally? We are allowed to care for people outside of our borders and even daily at that. "It's not about separation, it's about the population," as Deltron 3030 once said. I wouldn't worry about being taken from the main page because of this either. Because #blacklivesmatter. They need the bump of promoting every aspect of the black caucus. But people with similar causes should be able to maintain global interconnectivity and especially when there is always issues with generating media in isolation. African Americans have been successful in ways that the rest of the world needs to replicate today. If you know your messages will be seen, you're likely to be more honest too. Things need to change. The world needs to be heard. The global elite have most feared an economy that will be created to empower people that are disenfranchised in their own neighborhood. State Run Media is a dirty word but only because it often represents only the majority. Imagine no borders. How far can an African Media State extend? We need independent "states" to funnel tax-dollars into, legally. I think the beginning of reparations can come from tax relief. For hispanics and Native Americans too. As a minority, a portion of your taxes should go to reimbursement for colonialism. To pay for profit-making projects that help those in-need. Including media, food, clothes, medicine, real estate, etc.. If I'm not mistaking, no one owns the center of the earth, do they? In the future, beneath the #deepsouth will exist multiple states exclusively for minorities... #morestates #buildunderground #everyminoritydeservestheirownstatefortaxpurposes
