#Jim Wels

one thing about writing bones is im always gonna overthink the way he'd refer to himself. just in his internal monologue or whatever. like everybody calls him mccoy but i doubt he's thinking of himself via his surname for a multitude of reasons, and there's bones but it's such a jim-exclusive thing, and leonard feels the most correct but it's a little weird at the same time because nobody ever calls him that in tos and even in aos it's just spock, like, twice. and then he might have gone by other nicknames in the past but he's not thinking of them in relation to himself anymore. who is this guy

music: I Can’t Carry This Anymore by Anson Seabra

The sun rose over the beautiful hills of Malibu California yet you couldn’t be bothered to get out of bed. Classes had started two weeks ago yet you were nowhere near Boston. 

Like a brick on your chest, your breathing was labored and heavy. Like a gloomy, cloudy afternoon, your mood was sullied and sunken. Your feet felt like a thousand pounds and even though you needed to pee, you couldn’t bring yourself to walk to the bathroom.

It had been days since you showered or brushed your teeth or had a sip of water. You’d been surviving off of weed and the munchies you’d get at midnight. Other than that your appetite was gone.

The Office played on the TV on the wall across from your bed but you weren’t even facing it. You weren’t sure which episode was playing; something about a snowball fight between Jim and Dwight. 

“Y/n?” your dad called. 

Shit. He was supposed to be in upstate New York still, he wasn’t supposed to be back home for at least another week.

“I got a call from MIT, hun,” he said, now just outside your bedroom door. “Wanna tell me why you’re still on Spring Break?”

You didn’t answer so he knocked on the door, calling out your name once again before asking if he could come in. 

You again didn’t answer, the simple act of opening your mouth to speak seemed as hard as pushing a boulder up a mountain. Besides, you knew he’d come in anyway, though he’d do so with caution.

He continued knocking as he opened the door, his eyes closed; “I’m coming in, hope that’s okay.”

“Fine,” was all you could muster. 

He walked into your room, closing the door behind him.

“How bad is it?” he asked.

“Bad,” you replied.

“Did you call the doctor?”

You shook your head.

“Do you want me to call the doctor?” he asked.

You nodded your head.

**

After you promised not to do anything stupid, your dad left you alone in your room so he could call your psychiatrist. 

When he came back he brought in chips, chocolate, and a bottle of water.

“Here kiddo,” he said, tossing the snacks onto your bed. “You gotta eat something.”

“Not hungry,” you mumbled.

“Don’t care, you still need to eat.”

He sat at the foot of your bed and opened the bag of chips. Taking one for himself, he chewed obnoxiously loud and with his mouth open.

“I’m gonna keep doing this until you agree to eat.”

You sighed, unable to stop the small smile from forming on your chapped lips as you sat up in bed.

“Fine,” you said, holding your hand out and Tony handed you the bag. You ate a singular chip. “Happy?” you asked.

“Yep.” Tony smiled. There was a beat of silence as you took another chip. “Talk to me, what happened?”

“Nothing, that’s whats fuckin’ annoying, pardon my French,” you said. “I was doing perfectly fine; going out with friends on the weekends, but not letting my grades slip, eating healthy and exercising well, and I was taking my meds.”

“So nothing happened to bring this on?”

You shook your head, “It just… happened.”

“Come here.” He motioned you toward him and you crawled over to sit next to him. He hugged you tightly, placing a kiss on your temple before resting his head on yours. “I love you, Y/n.”

“I love you too, Dad.”

**

Tony didn’t leave the house once while he was trying to lift your spirits. He first made you a proper meal that you ate with a smile even though you didn’t really want to. He then made some popcorn, and the two of you watched your favorite movie in your home’s theater. Afterward, the two of you baked cookies and while they were in the oven, you felt enough energy to go and take a shower and brush your teeth. 

You were thankful as fuck to have a dad like Tony. A dad that would drop everything and come running to you the moment he knew you were struggling. A dad that loved you so deeply and so unconditionally.

Surprised Jenna - like many other Latino/Latina people with influence have already - hasn’t come out to endorsement Kamala after Tr*mp and his supporters made that Puerto Rico garbage comment

HEY.

SHE'S 22 YEARS OLD. AND SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO DO SHIT. YOU CARE MORE THAT SHE DOESN'T FIT YOUR PERCEPTION OF A YOUNG WOMAN WITH A POSSIBLE INFLUENCE ON HER FANS WHO DOESN'T "USE" THAT POWER. LEAVE THE GIRL ALONE AND STOP INSULTING HER INTELLIGENCE, INTEGRITY, AND TAKE ON THE WORLD. YES, SHE IS A CELEBRITY BUT SHE DOESN'T OWE ANYTHING TO ANYONE.

🤭

Yes, m'dear.

I expressed the same sentiment of yours that earned me the ire of the shitbird anon I just quoted verbatim a few days ago.

I hope that everyone remembers how silent Ortega is being on this, especially when she's made a big shit about "wanting to be the Puerto Rican Dakota Fanning" (even mentioning this in newer interviews, still), whining about not having/seeing representation, etc. My critics here hate seeing me crit her up, but she's the one who puts herself and some of her views sparingly out there; but this Puerto Rico thing is just as big as the insults that happened in 2017 after Hurricane Maria (the paper towels, the lack of response from that POS orange fuckface). That ugly ass diaper wearing motherfucking imbecilic rapist from Hell wanted to trade it for Greenland. Our baby girl here was only 15 then, but she is now old enough to fucking put her platform where her mouth is (yeah, as the days have gone by, my anger about it has only risen, especially since we're even closer to Tuesday).

I'm not Puerto Rican, but I am Mexican and Spanish on my father's side. I'm a full on burrito with extra rice (my mother is Southeast Asian)

If I were famous and had a platform like she does, I'd have been begging my fans to vote blue since Day 1, because 1) we know Trump hates us brown people to begin with and has been saying horrific things since the 2016 campaign and 2) Project 2025 is terrifying and facets of it are already cutting into our lives and making a huge mess of it for women, trans people, and people of color. I mean for fuck's sake, Tennessee (our Jairo's home state 💕💔) ratified a law earlier this year that brings back Jim Crow era-like anti-miscegenation discrimination regarding marriage (it was targeted towards 🏳️‍🌈 marriages, but if an officiant objects to solemnizing the marriage of a mixed race couple, they're legally allowed to do that per the law...even Jon and Cairo [if they were real] wouldn't be able to marry if the officiant objected to Jon marrying an obviously not white Cairo). It's exactly what the Heritage Foundation wanted, and it's only going to get worse if the orange fuckface is let back in.

As usual I digress, but this shit is serious.

Anyway, all of the most famous contemporary Puerto Ricans have spoken up about the floating island of garbage and the whole "Latinos love making babies"/have no pullout game (which yanno, Ortega should really be on top of too, it was a DOUBLE insult to her and her family), but she's ✨busy✨. Too busy to stand up for her mother's peoples, but not too busy to make TikToks with Thing. Fuck that, and y'all should keep it in mind the next time she does say shit about politics.

But here's a celebrity who has (another Puerto Rican who has a massive, massive number of 🏳️‍🌈 wlw fans, even though she too is into guys and married), and I love her for it:

"Oh, but Tor, that wasn't an endorsement!" — Okay babies, 4 years ago vs. now

Bonus "Like" from Johnna Dias-Watson that Imma take for soft endorsement, so even freaking Divina has a tiny voice here...and she's queer. 💕 🏳️‍🌈💖✨

Once more, if Ortega finally does come out for Kamala, I will issue corrections and apologies, but it's almost too fucking late — the election is only five fucking days away — and it'll likely be too little. There are already a good handful of kids her age who think that it's okay to either vote 3rd party* or sit it out, spouting rhetoric that is well-observed and intended but impractical.

*Psst: No, it's not okay to vote 3rd party in our solidly 2 party system in our general election. The last two times a crapload of people voted 3rd party, it gave us Bush & the Iraq War and Trump & his maelstrom of domestic destruction. Republicans adore 3rd party candidates for the general election because they fucking know the kind of people who will choose them are mostly sanctimonious, ignorant and/or unhinged leftists whose votes would otherwise be unfavorable to them. Cut the shit and get serious if you're one of those 'but Republicans and Democrats are the same!' crap à la Chappell Roan (the elder Gen Z whose attitude about our politics is influencing other Zs). They are not the fucking same. Just looking at the SCOTUS picks should tell you that it's fucking laughable every time someone says this. Democrats are also not the ones who are passing misogynistic anti-abortion and phobic anti-🏳️‍🌈 and anti-🏳️‍⚧️ laws that affect everyone at their state level. Do your due diligence AND your civic duty towards your fellows and pick the one who isn't intent on destroying anyone who isn't a white (male) Christian nationalist.

To this day, these churches still draw from the spiritual legacies of Christian missions and receive funding from off-reservation congregations under that definition. Global Ministries of the United Methodist church spent over $11m in 2022 for missionary services. Wels spent $661,018 just for the Apache missions and over $23.5m for all missions, as laid out in its most recent report, from 2023. Wels first came to Arizona in 1892, five years after the Dawes Act. When it was clear that exterminating the Apache people would not be possible, the federal government engaged Christian denominations working with the military to force the assimilation of the Indigenous people. RH Pratt, the superintendent of the first “industrial” boarding school under this policy, coined the term that embodied the philosophy behind these institutions: “Kill the Indian in him, and save the man.” pews and stained glass Federal boarding school policy allowed the military to forcibly remove Apache children from their families and send them to industrial schools in an attempt to militarize and alter their identities. They were forbidden to practice their religion or speak their language, and reports of physical and sexual abuse were common. Many children never returned home. If an Indigenous child was found outside during school hours, Indigenous police were appointed to snatch the child and deliver them to a school under the US military’s jurisdiction. If a parent sought to hide their child, they could be imprisoned or cut off from food and other necessary daily supplies. Apache children were kidnapped and taken as far as Pennsylvania, where they were forced to fully assimilate into Anglo-Christian society. Their clothes were burned, their language forgotten. Many children died of disease, neglect or abuse. And while the number of deaths is not yet known, it is believed that Apache children comprise a quarter of the graves at Carlisle Indian Industrial school. To think that 1800s attitudes towards Apache children have changed would be a mistake. Outside of the Wels mission, volunteers of other denominations drive around in colorful buses and still pick children up throughout the reservation, whether on the side of the road or other public areas. They take them to play games and learn about their version of Jesus and then drop the kids off again where they found them hours before. Parents are not always told or asked permission.

They took part in Apache ceremonies. Their schools expelled them for satanic activities | Native Americans | The Guardian

Great-Grandad survived Carlisle. In his words, “It was a hell of a way to meet Jim Thorpe“

All of this is why my reaction to someone telling me they’re Christian is the same as “Would you like to hold this blue-ringed octopus?”

Marvel en DC crossovers

In de VS verschijnen binnenkort 2 nieuwe omnibussen met daarin alle crossovers tussen Marvel en DC. Voor je je naar de winkel rept: de kans is groot dat je best wel wat van die verhalen al in je Nederlandstalige comic collectie hebt zitten 😉. Een overzicht 👉

De eerste crossovers

Midden jaren ‘70 hadden Marvel en DC voor de eerste keer samengewerkt om de filmspecial van ‘Wizard of Oz’ uit te geven. Dat zorgde ervoor dat beide concurrenten tijdelijk wat vriendelijker tegenover elkaar stonden en er nieuwe mogelijkheden ontstonden. Op die manier kwam de eerste ‘Superman versus The Amazing Spider-Man’ crossover tot stand. En goed nieuws, die verscheen in 1976 ook in het Nederlands als losse ‘Superman en Spinneman’ album bij Classics.

Enkele jaren later zou in de VS nog een ‘Batman verus Hulk’ verschijnen. Nog in de jaren ‘80 volgden dan plannen voor een Justice League/Avengers en een New Teen Titans/X-Men crossover. Die laatste verscheen toen inderdaad. Op de eerste bleek het door allerlei problemen uiteindelijk nog 20 jaar wachten. Helaas zijn deze nooit in België en Nederland verschenen. Al is er misschien nog hoop om deze uitgaven ooit in de DC Classics reeks van Dark Dragon Books te zien? 

Wat we in die periode wél nog kregen was de ontmoeting tussen Superman en Spiderman uit de ‘Marvel Treasury Edition featuring Superman and Spider-Man 1’. Deze fraaie strip door Jim Shooter, Marv Wolfman en John Buscema werd één van de allereerste uitgaven van Juniorpress. En alsof dat nog niet bijzonder genoeg was, verscheen dit album op een reuzegroot formaat. Helaas ook wel met een slappe kaft, waardoor het zeer moeilijk is om hier een exemplaar van te vinden dat nog in perfecte staat is. 🙈

De jaren ‘90

In de loop van de jaren ‘90 verschenen er nog een heleboel crossovers tussen Marvel en DC. Hier kregen we helaas geen ‘Darkseid/Galactus’, ‘Green Lantern/Silver Silver’, ‘Batman/Daredevil’ en ‘Batman/Captain America’. 

Gelukkig verschenen in de Batman Special serie van Baldakijn Boeken wél enkele fijne confrontaties:

In Batman Special 24 werden beide delen van de Batman/Punisher crossover opgenomen. Het eerste deel is best de moeite, met fraai tekenwerk van John Romita Jr. In het tweede deel zien we AzBats het opnemen tegen de Punisher. Net iets minder leuk vind ik zelf.

De dubbele confrontatie tussen Batman en Spiderman werd opgenomen in Batman Special 25 en 28. In beide nummers mooi afgelikt tekenwerk van de vaste tekenaars van beide helden uit die periode: Mark Bagley en Graham Nolan. 

Amalgam

Het hoogtepunt van de Marvel/DC crossovers is natuurlijk de Amalgam periode. Wat begon als een ‘gewone’ crossover met ‘DC versus Marvel’ kwam tot een hoogtepunt met het ontstaan van een nieuw universum waarin helden van beide uitgevers samensmolten tot nieuwe personages. Wat dacht je van een kruising tussen Batman en Wolverine als Dark Claw? Of Superman en Captain America als Super Soldier? Je merkt het, deze uitgaven staan bol van de jaren ‘90 gekheid. Maar het is wel nog steeds vermakelijk. Extra leuk is dat het grootste deel van deze comics ook in het Nederlands zijn verschenen in de Juniorpress serie ‘DC Versus Marvel’.

Checklist

Superman en Spinneman (Classics, 1976)

Superman en Spiderman (Juniorpress, 1981)

Batman Special 24, 25, 28 (Baldakijn Boeken, 1995-1997)

DaBoii & The Mekanix - Friendly Reminder (feat. J-Stalin).

Woa, er is een The Mekanix x DaBoii album uit? En 4Rax doet maar één hook? Dat is nog eens goed nieuws! Tegelijkertijd leveren niet alle rappers evenveel vuur als The Mekanix doen (zie bijv. het wat teleurstellende 2Legit waar Offset Jim op zijn meest half-slapends klinkt op een hele toffe beat), maar Stand On It heeft potentie. Juist ook omdat 4Rax wat fun lijkt te hebben met de hook. Juist van DaBoii had ik gehoopt dat hij all over the beats was, maar het lijken af en toe alsof er iets te veel adempauzes zijn.

The Mekanix - Movin' (feat. J-Stalin, Lijah, 4 rAx & Junneonnabeat)

Tegelijkertijd hebben ze ook een eigen solo album. Helaas lijkt daar hetzelfde voor op te gaan. Ondanks in potentie toffe featurings zoals Clyde Carson, Shoddy Boi (die wel heel degelijk spit: they tell me do some shit for the clubs, but they probably gonna sell drugs to this shit), Lil Blood, Iamsu en Lil bean etc. zijn het vooral de beats die de show stelen.

Phase Six / Jim Shepard

In Ilimanaq, een dorpje op Groenland, is niet zoveel te beleven, dus de 11-jarige Aleq en zijn vriendje neuzen graag stiekem rond op het terrein van een nieuwe mijnontginning. Zonder het te beseffen, pikt Aleq daar een oeroude microbe op, die zich snel verder verspreid en voor een nieuwe pandemie zorgt — dodelijker dan COVID-19. Als de eerste signalen komen dat er een nieuwe ziekte voor grote problemen zorgt in Groenland, stuurt de CDC twee jonge wetenschappers; arts-laborant Danice en epidemioloog Jeannine. De vrouwen kenden elkaar eerder niet, maar sluiten tijdens hun werk een vaste vriendschap, want het is voor beiden de eerste keer dat ze iemand tegenkomen die snapt waardoor ze worden gedreven. Wat ze ook steeds meer beseffen, is dat er iets in de wereld is geïntroduceerd, waar misschien wel helemaal geen antwoord op is te vinden.

"Or what about Legionnaires' disease?" Danice asked. "It turned out that its growth characteristics were almost nothing like any other bacterials. It turned out to be unbelievably slow-growing and unbelievably hardy. How long was it where all they knew about it was that it had been around for a long time, its most effective mode of transmission was through the air, and its natural home was somewhere else in nature?" "Well, if the point here is to scare me…," Jeannine said, and didn't finish her sentence. "It wasn't like I was sitting around here overconfident," she added. "I was just thinking," Danice said. "That you know, things like this that wait for eons for their opportunity: they probably don't roll over so easily." "Are you feeling any better?" Jeannine asked her. "Your breathing sounds about the same." "What we all should have been doing was microbial impact assessments, like environmental impact assessments," Danice told her. "Maybe from here on in they will," Jeannine said. "From here on in," Danice scoffed. "All of those pathogens that over time we've de-adapted to — we keep sticking our noses everywhere, they're all coming back." "Think of it as job security," Jeannine joked feebly. Danice had a coughing fit as a response. "God," she said when she was finished, probably in reference to the pain in her chest. "Who would you put your money on? Humans have been around for what, two hundred thousand years? And bacteria for like three and a half billion."

Geen spannende actie-thriller met gemakkelijke antwoorden en de redding door een held aan het einde. In plaats daarvan — met enkele intermezzo's in vogelvlucht — heel gedetailleerd hoe de onderzoekers uitgeput blijven ploeteren en elkaar op de been proberen te houden, terwijl ze zich niet helemaal kunnen afsluiten van de ziekte en de paniek in de buitenwereld. En dat is ook heel boeiend.

Smalltalk voor gevorderden: waarom praten met vreemden belangrijk is (De morgen)

PALU: Hervormingen in het onderwijs moeten radicaal anders

Afgelopen woensdag heeft in het centrum van de PALU een discussie over de toekomst van het onderwijs plaatsgevonden. Het Beleidsforum Volkseducatie heeft een paneldiscussie georganiseerd, waar duidelijk is geworden dat de hervormingen die in de afgelopen twee decennia zijn doorgevoerd niet meer dan onafgemaakte pogingen zijn geweest. Deze kennelijk goedbedoelde pogingen hebben gefaald vanwege het vertrekpunt van beleidsmakers met “partij politieke” motieven voorop, wat heeft gemaakt dat de onderwijssector momenteel in een grote chaos is terechtgekomen. Verward en gedemotiveerd De inleider Robert Peneux gaf een goed beeld van meerdere verkeerde zienswijzen op basis waarvan hervormingen zijn doorgevoerd. Met heel veel voorbeelden maakte hij duidelijk dat van alles misgaat in het onderwijs, omdat beleidsmakers ervan uitgaan dat zij alleen verantwoordelijk zijn om hervormingen in ons onderwijs door te voeren. Ook blijven deze hervormingen stranden, omdat alleen wijzigingen in de inhoud en lesmethoden worden doorgevoerd, zonder te beseffen dat ook de opleidingen van leraren mee moeten veranderen. Al deze pogingen tot hervorming hebben er toe geleid dat vandaag de dag niet alleen onderwijzers, maar ook leerlingen en ouders van leerlingen verward en daardoor gedemotiveerd zijn over de richting waarin onze jongeren opgevoed moeten worden. Veel deskundigheid In de paneldiscussie met de deskundigen Manuella Veldkamp en Muriel Hoepel, werd duidelijk dat er erg veel deskundigheid op het ministerie aanwezig is, maar dat het te weinig wordt ingezet in het regeerbeleid. Hoepel benadrukte dat er wel enige vooruitgang is geboekt in de onderwijssector waaronder studie loopbaanbegeleiding en het STEM-onderwijs. "De modernisering van ons onderwijs is mogelijk", gaf Veldkamp aan. Maar al gauw werd duidelijk dat het onderwijs niet is afgestemd op middellang en lange termijn economische doelen, omdat die gewoonweg niet worden ingebracht door de politiek. Als de offshore olieproductie belangrijk zal worden in de komende jaren, hadden allang hervormingen in het onderwijs doorgevoerd moeten worden om te kunnen voldoen aan de toekomstige vraag naar deskundige jongeren voor deze sector. PALU-onderwijshervormingen PALU-voorzitter Jim Hok sloot de drukbezochte paneldiscussie af door de aanwezigen te garanderen dat met de PALU in het bestuur van ons land, de nodige onderwijshervormingen wel degelijk doorgevoerd zullen worden met grote betrokkenheid van de leerkrachten en Surinaamse onderwijsdeskundigen. "Alleen op die manier kunnen wij de opdracht vervullen die het Surinaams volk en haar leiders op zich hebben genomen bij de onafhankelijkheid van Suriname in 1975, namelijk om ons land opnieuw in te richten naar onze eigen belangen en behoeften. Onderwijshervormingen die de toekomst van ons land bepalen, kunnen niet afhangen van toevallige deskundigen uit het buitenland die met ideeën komen die vaak niet passen in de Surinaamse omstandigheden. We zullen met ons allen, samen, een visie moeten formuleren waar we ook met ons onderwijs willen zijn op lang termijn. Voor wat de PALU betreft moet deze langetermijnvisie wettelijk worden vastgelegd als langetermijndoelstelling, om ook opeenvolgende regeringen te dwingen om de ingezette hervormingen voort te zetten". -- Progressieve Arbeiders en Landbouwers Unie (PALU) Suriname info: www.palu.sr Read the full article
