New to Me - February 2023

New to Me #boardgames - February 2023 @boardgame_love @Capstone_Games @PegasusspieleNA @AdamsAppleGames

February is the shortest month of the year, though it can seem quite long (or did before a stat holiday was added to it). It can seem even longer when you don’t get as many games played as usual! As I mentioned in my February gaming post, missing two Sundays and a week of no games at work, it was only natural that fewer games would be played. I still think playing 14 games in 28 days isn’t…

who are your favorite communist theoriticians?

I am fully an edwadist political-legal theorist. I will note that I haven't been reading much theory recently, but my stuff to read piles up. So I do think my perspective has been stagnating but I'm hoping to launch back into it when I'm done with my move and started my new job and all that shit

major intellectual influences: Marx, Fanon, the Fields sisters, Beauvoir, Adorno, Bloch, Walter Benjamin, Pashukanis, John Holloway, Mikey Heinrich, Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari (those three are more like fellow travelers but I love an insane French anti-psych post structuralist queen)

people doing interesting shit these days: Mark Neocleous, Sophie Lewis, Cinzia Arruzza, Simon Choat, W.C. Roberts, Geoff Mann, Kirstin Munro, Juliana Gleeson, Kathi Weeks

people on the agenda: Cedric Robinson, Postone, Nicole Pepperell, Aaron Jaffe, Jairus Banaji, Ashley Bohrer, Soren Mau, Bonefeld, Pitts, Backhaus , Simon Clarke, Chris Arthur, Harry Cleaver, Jason Read, Mariarosa Dalla Costa, Heather Berg, Chris Chitty, Sohn-Rethel, Cyril Smith, Chris O'Kane, Amy De'Ath, Andreas Malm, Heide Gerstenberger, Nate Holdren

meu amor, eu queria ser um pouco mais criativa hoje, mas meu neurônio da criatividade pifou. mesmo assim, quero que você saiba que tudo o que eu faço por você, seja simples ou incrível, eu faço com todo amor do mundo! e faço não só por você ser o homem da minha vida, mas também por ser tão maravilhoso pra mim e pra todos ao seu redor, que faz a gente sentir em um abraço quentinho. um coração como o seu, precisa ser regado, como uma flor rara que não se encontra em qualquer campo, e você de fato é raro, é um homem que qualquer mulher adoraria ter do lado, mas por sorte, eu é que tenho você meu eminho, meu bolinho de cenoura, mike da minha eleven, miles da minha alaska, ed da minha winry, damon da minha elena, andy da minha juliet, simba da minha nala, john b. da minha sarah, james da minha alyssa, falcão da minha moon, klaus da minha hayley, stiles da minha lídia, faz eu me sentir em um conto de fadas! "my sweet fairy tale" foi o título escolhido porque com você, eu sinto como se esse mundo cheio de defeitos simplesmente não tivesse problema algum, porque você tem o poder de me fazer sonhar, flutuar, exatamente como o filminho que vimos ontem, sabe? é como se o mundo fosse lindo simplesmente por você existir nele eu consigo me lembrar de ao menos uma dúzia de momentos onde você segurou a minha mão, me impediu de agir no impulso, controlou minha raiva, me lembrou da minha força e do quanto eu posso tudo o que eu quiser, você tem noção do que isso significa? significa que você emana uma luz tão poderosa, que você ilumina as pessoas que ama. incontáveis foram as vezes em que eu percebi que meu amor por você, era tudo que eu podia me agarrar pra ficar de pé, porque o amor era recíproco. você respeita pessoas, respeita o momento delas, respeita as dores delas, é tão natural pra você ser carinhoso, ser único, que as vezes é até difícil de acreditar que é real. se dedicar e agir com carinho não é o que você faz, é quem você é. e você tem feito a minha vida ser muito mais bonita, todos os dias ficar com você me mostrou algo que passei a minha vida inteira buscando. quanto mais nós ficamos juntos, mais imagino que isso será algo duradouro no futuro. isso nunca me aconteceu antes, e não tenho certeza de que acontecerá novamente. nunca me apaixonei por ninguém até você chegar (pelo menos não um amor verdadeiro) não dessa forma. você é cada esperança e cada sonho que eu já tive, e você me fez mais feliz do que qualquer mulher poderia sonhar em ser. quero os aniversários, as épocas corridas e os finais de semana preguiçosos todos com você! quero as piadas sem graça, quero as séries que a gente nunca termina, quero fazer planos com você, quero uma vida com você! não sei o que mais posso dizer, a não ser que eu consigo me imaginar passando o resto da minha vida ao seu lado. sei que isso parece loucura, mas nunca tive tanta certeza a respeito de alguma coisa na minha vida. vou viver o resto da minha vida provando a você que tomei a decisão certa você é um ser humano extraordinário meu amor, espero que acredite em mim e perceba a sua grandiosidade. quem não te acolhe, quem não te valoriza, não merece sequer a sua presença! eu quero que você prove só o doce, o fofo, o carinhoso, o quentinho e eu tô aqui torcendo pro universo te entregar o que de melhor ele tem a oferecer, mas se ele não fizer, não se preocupe, porque eu crio um universo todinho só pra você, repleto de coisas incríveis, porque você merece! feliz aniversário, amor da minha vida. — Carolina Bohrer

Some Titles to Celebrate the Last Day of Women’s History Month

Visionary Women: How Rachel Carson, Jane Jacobs, Jane Goodall, and Alice Waters Changed Our World by Andrea Barnet

This is the story of four visionaries who profoundly shaped the world we live in today. Together, these women—linked not by friendship or field, but by their choice to break with convention—showed what one person speaking truth to power can do. Jane Jacobs fought for livable cities and strong communities; Rachel Carson warned us about poisoning the environment; Jane Goodall demonstrated the indelible kinship between humans and animals; and Alice Waters urged us to reconsider what and how we eat. With a keen eye for historical detail, Andrea Barnet traces the arc of each woman’s career and explores how their work collectively changed the course of history. While they hailed from different generations, Carson, Jacobs, Goodall, and Waters found their voices in the early sixties. At a time of enormous upheaval, all four stood as bulwarks against 1950s corporate culture and its war on nature. Consummate outsiders, each prevailed against powerful and mostly male adversaries while also anticipating the disaffections of the emerging counterculture. All told, their efforts ignited a transformative progressive movement while offering people a new way to think about the world and a more positive way of living in it.

In Praise of Difficult Women: Life Lessons From 29 Heroines Who Dared to Break the Rules by Karen Karbo

Smart, sassy, and unapologetically feminine, this elegantly illustrated book is an ode to the bold and charismatic women of modern history. Best-selling author Karen Karbo (The Gospel According to Coco Chanel) spotlights the spirited rule breakers who charted their way with little regard for expectations: Amelia Earhart, Helen Gurley Brown, Edie Sedgwick, Hillary Clinton, Amy Poehler, and Shonda Rhimes, among others. Their lives--imperfect, elegant, messy, glorious--provide inspiration and instruction for the new age of feminism we have entered. Karbo distills these lessons with wit and humor, examining the universal themes that connect us to each of these mesmerizing personalities today: success and style, love and authenticity, daring and courage. Being "difficult," Karbo reveals, might not make life easier. But it can make it more fulfilling--whatever that means for you.

Women Heroes of World War II: 26 Stories of Espionage, Sabotage, Resistance, and Rescue by Kathryn J. Atwood

Noor Inayat Khan was the first female radio operator sent into occupied France and transferred crucial messages. Johtje Vos, a Dutch housewife, hid Jews in her home and repeatedly outsmarted the Gestapo. Law student Hannie Schaft became involved in the most dangerous resistance work--sabotage, weapons transference, and assassinations. In these pages, young readers will meet these and many other similarly courageous women and girls who risked their lives to help defeat the Nazis.            Twenty-six engaging and suspense-filled stories unfold from across Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Denmark, Great Britain, and the United States, providing an inspiring reminder of women and girls’ refusal to sit on the sidelines around the world and throughout history. An overview of World War II and summaries of each country’s entrance and involvement in the war provide a framework for better understanding each woman’s unique circumstances, and resources for further learning follow each profile. Women Heroes of World War II is an invaluable addition to any student’s or history buff’s bookshelf.

Glory, Passion, and Principle: The Story of Eight Remarkable Women at the Core of the American Revolution by Melissa Lukeman Bohrer

The heroism of the females of the American Revolution has gone from memory with the generation that witnessed it, and nothing, absolutely nothing, remains upon the ear of the young of the present day. -- Charles Francis Adams

John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin -- these are the names we typically associate with the American Revolution. But was American History solely written by men? Were there no influential women? No women who had an impact on the founding of America in its crucial, formative years, in its fight for independence? Indeed, there were -- although their contributions have been overlooked or ignored for over two hundred years. Until now. Glory, Passion, and Principle is an extraordinary journey through revolutionary America as seen from a woman's perspective. Here are the lesser-known stories of eight influential females who fought for freedom -- for their country and themselves -- at all costs. Whether advising prominent male leaders in political theory (Abigail Adams), using their pens as swords (Phillis Wheatley, Mercy Otis Warren), acting as military spies (Sybil Ludington, Lydia Darragh), or going to battle (Molly Pitcher, Deborah Sampson, Nancy Ward), these women broke free of the limitations imposed upon them, much as our forefathers did by resisting British rule upon American soil...and laying the groundwork for the United States as we know it today.

I don't want to you to feel worse so stop looking at them, please. 🥺 You'll be able to do all those things again one day! The TV show. Is the movie even out yet? 🤔 Grant Gustin is very yummy and, honestly, so is John Wesley Shipp. I also really love the throwbacks and easter eggs they included from the 90s flash like having Amanda Pays reprise her role as Tina McGee and Mark Hamill as The Trickster and Corinne Bohrer as Prank.

55. Trickster (+ Prank) (The Flash)

Mark Hamill played the Trickster on „The Flash“-TV-Show of 1990. He also played the same part in the modern show, looking back at a long criminal run, proven with pictures from the old show. His doppelganger on Earth-3 was also still active and still fighting Henry Allen’s doppelganger Jay Garrick, who is the Flash on Earth-3 and is played by John Wesley Shipp, so Earth-3 seems to be some kind of continuation of the old show. On the top of that the old show saw a Trickster Fangirl becoming Prank and partnering up with her beau. Prank also returns on the new show – as the mother of the Trickster’s son, who is the other Trickster of Earth-1, with whom she teams up to commit crimes. Prank is played by Corinner Bohrer, who played the same part on the 90s show.

Rick Famuyiwa, director of the critical darling, coming-of-age movie Dope, has signed on to direct Children of Blood and Bone, Fox 2000's adaptation of the best-selling YA novel by Tomi Adeyemi.

Marty Bowen, Isaac Klausner and John Fischer of Temple Hill, the prolific banner whose recent credits include Love, Simon, First Man and the Maze Runner movies, are producing along with Karen Rosenfelt via her Sunswept Entertainment company. Famuyiwa will also produce under production shingle Verse with Scott Falconer serving as associate producer.

The book is set in a magic-infused kingdom named Orisha, where a young woman named Zelie Adebola witnesses the death of her mother and other magicians, called "maji," under the order of a ruthless king. The woman has a chance to restore magic to her land but has to first team up with a rogue princess and outwit and outrun a crown prince while avoiding prowling snow "leoponaires" and vengeful spirits that wait in the waters.

Adeyemi made headlines in the publishing world when she sold her debut book in the seven-figure range, one of the biggest for a YA debut. The book, which the author has pitched as an "African Last Airbender" and "Black Panther with magic," was published March 6, 2018, and hit best-seller status. The second novel in an intended trilogy, Children of Virtue and Vengeance, will be released June 4, 2019.

David Magee wrote the script adapting the book. Gillian Bohrer is overseeing for Fox 2000.

Famuyiwa has directed several movies about the black American experience but really caught the attention of studio execs with Dope, which centered on teens from Inglewood, California, and was a Sundance hit. The movie led to his hiring on the Warner Bros. Flash movie, although he later left the project over creative differences.

Famuyiwa helmed the HBO movie Confirmation, which starred Kerry Washington as Anita Hill, and is currently working on The Mandalorian, the Star Wars live-action TV show that will air on Disney+.

He is repped by WME, Oasis Media Group and Del Shaw.
