"Apologies if these feel a little thrown together last minute, I only just learned yesterday that your birthday was on saturday." Andi presented Karin with a folder full of the various life drawing sketches Andi had drawn of the Kurosaki girl, some she'd even gone over and recolored with pastels and colored pencils. "There's that... plus a little extra." Andi tapped a painted fingernail against a thumbdrive taped to the folder... it had nudes... Andi gave Karin a thumbdrive full of nudes. "Happy birthday."

Karin received the folder with a fairly thoughtful expression, brows lifting appreciatively after she opened it to review the contents. The artwork was all rather more gussied up than she remembered having seen at the time she'd posed for it, and the differences gave her pause as she slowly flipped through the works. It was flashy enough that she didn't immediately notice the thumb drive, instead rather taken by some of the coloration choices....

When her attention was drawn to the device, she blinked and raised an eyebrow. She was used to passing and being passed such things as part of her job, but for the moment the intention behind it escaped her. Her first thought, given the phrasing, was maybe that they were digital versions done up differently! Still, she put the mystery aside for the moment.

"This is... definitely the most personalized thing I've gotten in a while. You really didn't have to do all this, Andi. It's not like 33's a big milestone or anything. But... I appreciate it." Closing the folder, she pulled her artist into a big hug!

Enjoy this spooky Na'vi audio story I wrote for a Halloween-themed listening practice session on Kelutral! Transcription below the cut for those who want to read along. I'll also be adding the English translation in a reblog (adding that separately so that those who want to practice—I know there's at least a few of you out there hrh—can read along with the written Na'vi without accidentally "cheating" by looking at the English 😉)

An 11-year-old Texas girl who killed herself after being bullied about her family’s immigration status told friends she was inappropriately touched by a family member, according to shocking findings by her Texas school district.

Jocelyn Rojo Carranza was found unresponsive in her family’s Gainesville home on Feb. 3 and died in the hospital after five days of intensive care.

The little girl’s mother, Marbella Carranza, claimed her daughter was bullied by students at Gainesville Intermediate School. She said they mocked her because of the family’s immigration status and threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The Gainesville Independent School District launched an investigation and confirmed that a student on Carranza’s bus made comments about ICE and deportation to a group of Hispanic students and that the girl was in earshot, according to the findings.

Carranza reported the incident to her principal on Jan. 30 after the topic of ICE came up again in class, the district said. The district found that it was not the only time such an incident occurred and said the student was disciplined.

After Carranza’s hospitalization the following week, students came forward to school officials and said that the girl and one of her brothers were the victims of bullying, which spurred the investigation.

Kids also told administrators about Carranza’s disturbing claims of abuse, which she asked them to keep a secret.

“It was reported by multiple students that [Carranza] told them that she had been inappropriately touched by a family member and wished to keep this a secret to avoid getting them in trouble,” Superintendent DesMontes Stewart said in the report.

The district reported the claims to Child Protective Services, and said it is investigating.

The district also found that the girl had previously expressed thoughts of self-harm to her cousin, who allegedly informed Carranza’s mother, and that she told a counselor in October about getting in trouble at home and being called names by her siblings.

The district said it would have provided resources if it knew about Carranza’s wanting to harm herself and said she participated in a social-emotional learning group, which her mother granted permission for her to attend.

Her mom, however, has maintained that she was kept in the dark about her young daughter seeking counseling.

“Nothing about that is true,” Carranza’s mother told NBC affiliate KXAS-TV regarding the district’s findings, including the abuse.

“I talk with my daughter about that, always … Nobody can touch your body. Nobody,” she told the outlet, adding that she has hired a lawyer and was waiting to respond to the district.

“GISD has remained fully supportive of the family throughout this difficult time,” Stewart, the superintendent, said in a statement.

“The district’s schools, PTO groups, and staff donations have contributed thousands of dollars, as well as gift cards and food to support the family’s needs,” he added. “Additionally, I personally met with the mother and a family member to address any questions they had regarding the investigation.”

Carranza’s funeral was held on Feb. 19.

She was survived by her parents and six siblings and was remembered by her love of singing and dancing, according to an obituary.

If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts or are experiencing a mental health crisis and live in New York City, you can call 1-888-NYC-WELL for free and confidential crisis counseling. If you live outside the five boroughs, you can dial the 24/7 National Suicide Prevention hotline at 988 or go to SuicidePreventionLifeline.org.

While I'm still a university student, I'm taking full advantage of the access I have to various research databases and online archives to look for materials relating to Dean & Jerry. Since I'm still a relatively new fan, I've been seeing a lot of this stuff for the first time which is exciting :-)

Elvis in Fort Worth, Texas, on January 11, 1958

Incredible footage colorization/restoration by 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐅𝐈𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐒 on Youtube.

I swear I felt I was watching a modern times interview, like our own time's artists. The original B&W footage is awesome by itself but this restoration is such a fantastic job I just had to share with you right after watching for the first time myself, since the video had been recently updated to Youtube (today, March 7, 2024, actually). I have to add that all that channel's content is fabulous. ♥

I'll share the original footage again, just in case you'd like to watch in B&W and without the music on the background:

Footage uploaded on Youtube channel "Elvis Presley News" | Original source: UNT (University of Texas) Digital Library. On their website: "Creation Information: Bookmark this section WBAP-TV (Television station : Fort Worth, Texas) January 11, 1958. This video is part of the collection entitled: KXAS-NBC 5 News Collection and was provided by the UNT Libraries Special Collections to the UNT Digital Library, a digital repository hosted by the UNT Libraries."

FOOTAGE INFO:

Elvis was at stopover in Fort Worth, Texas, on his way to Hollywood studios in Los Angeles, to begin filming 'King Creole'. On December 1957 Presley received his draft note from the Army. It's said he cut his sideburns shorter to look different for playing his character in King Creole tho, not because of the army.

In the interview above, there's a moment Elvis is asked about if he was worried cutting his famous sideburns off. He said "If it was a situation they'd cut them off and I never could have them anymore then I would worry about 'em, but I can grow it back."
