“Every flower blooms in its own time. Like you my young Padawan. So there is no need to force yourself to be the strongest”

-Marsha Comet-

[a-weeb-about-paleocontinents]

Comet, Marsha, and Apollo from the Magician's Quest/Enchanted Folk/Tongari Boushi Series

I decided to draw these characters together awhile ago because they all have really poppy colors and share a cosmic theme. Also Comet kind of looks like Ulala from Space Channel 5 and though I haven't played that game and likely won't anytime soon, it's a game I would love the chance to play sometime.

You also might find it interesting that I used the runes of the depicted characters in the background.

1)  Composite image of Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE, captured by Marsha Kirschbaum in San Leandro, California, on the morning of July 5, 2020. She wrote: “It was a really early a.m. wakeup call for me. This icy celestial visitor survived its pass by the sun to put on a splendid show at 4:45 a.m. this morning. After a night and early morning of the dull background roar of fireworks punctuated by really loud ‘bombs’ with the smell of smoke, I was really doubtful I would see the comet because of the haze. And there was a lot of it as can be seen on the horizon in this image. I couldn’t quite see it with the unaided eye, but my 200 mm lens saw it just fine. My kind of celestial fireworks.”

2) Wide-sky view showing the location of Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) just before dawn on Monday, July 6, 2020, as seen from central U.S. facing northeast about 45 to 60 minutes before sunrise. Venus is the very bright planet, while Capella is a bright star seen towards the northeast now, at dawn. Illustration by Eddie Irizarry using Stellarium.

3) As a reminder, around mid-July, comet NEOWISE reappears early in the evening sky. This illustration shows location of the celestial visitor on July 15,2020. As seen from the central U.S., facing northwest just after sunset. Illustration by Eddie Irizarry using Stellarium.

Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was discovered on March 27, 2020, from some 326 miles (525 km) above Earth’s surface by NEOWISE, the Near Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, which is a space telescope launched by NASA in 2009.

Comet NEOWISE was closest to the sun on July 3, 2020, passing at about 26.7 million miles (43 million km) from the sun, or a bit closer than the average distance from the sun to Mercury. Observers are still reporting seeing it, and so it appears to have survived the close encounter with our star.

Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) is up at dawn now and should remain in the dawn sky until around July 11. Then it will temporarily disappear below the horizon while making a transition to the early evening sky, becoming visible again in the evening around July 15-16.

If the comet remains relatively bright, it might be easier to see in the second half of July during evening dusk, because, at that time, it will appear somewhat higher in the sky.

During the first days of July, Comet NEOWISE is a little tricky to catch because it appears not against a dark sky, but very close to the northeastern horizon just as dawn is brightening the sky.

Superman & Lois - Ep. 102 “Heritage”

In which the Sad Dad vibes and teen angst continues!

Spoilers!

Lois gets the opening and closing narration this week! And generally has more to do, which is nice.

The fam has officially moved to Smallville, so the boys are gearing up to start school...or are they???

Well, Jon is. Jordan is told he has to stay home until he can get his nascent powers under control because they don’t want him to accidentally flash frying a classmate. Which he almost did. Last week. 

Clark calls Jordan’s accidental heat vision an ‘ocular release of energy.’

This decision, of course, leads to some FAMILY DRAMA. Jordan feels like a freak! Jonathan is upset that they’ve had to move! Clark feels like he’s failing as a parent!

Oh and also the guy in the Master Chief suit is on the hunt for Kryptonite. Which is, you know. Troubling.

SO it’s off to school for Jonathan and off to the Fortress for Jordan!

Lois, upon Jonathan asking why Jordan gets to go flying with dad: “At least we have the radio!”

One plus side about the show being ‘grounded’ and ‘prestige-y’: the high school drama is of a more believable variety. Still tedious, but at least it’s not dated 90s tropes.

...Well, okay. Not entirely true. Sarah Cushing’s personality thus far is ‘nice girl who’s dating a jerk’ and yes, the line “What do you see in that guy?” is said aloud. So.

Win some, lose some.

MEANWHILE, AT THE FORTRESS:

Love the actor they got for Jor-El. He’s perfect, in that he feels like an homage to Brando, Crowe, but is also his own distinct version. I dig it. 

But there’s no giant key made of dwarf star matter because this is GROUNDED and REALISTIC and none of that SILLY CW NONSENSE, WE GOT HBO MAX MONEY. 

Back to the Lois vs. Edge plot:

For all the folks wondering how Lois working at the Planet was going to continue, what with the show being set in Smallville...

WELL.

Edge now owns the Planet, so he re-writes a negative article she’s written about him, which leads to her quitting, and going to write for the Smallville Gazette.

Which is operated by Chrissy Beppo.

Who is...named after the super monkey? 

Does this mean we’ll eventually meet other Smallville residents named after super pets? Like Marsha Whizzy, or maybe Kenneth Comet.

Seems a weird choice when ‘Bibbo’ is right there.

ANYWAYS.

Best line of the episode: “You know what babe? You do your Superman stuff, and I will do my Lois Lane stuff.”

MEANWHILE, THE SAD DAD VIBES INTENSIFY as Grandpa Jor-El reveals: Jordan...will never be like you, Kal-El. His human DNA is too limiting.

Which is a very interesting plot point (that was sorta mentioned/explored in Future State!)

So, about the boys: I still find them...mostly annoying. But I appreciate the dynamic they’re establishing: Jordan has always required more time and attention due to his anxiety disorder, and Jonathan has always had to look after him and compensate--this carries over into the new status quo where Jordan has the super powers and Jonathan further feels that his brother is getting time and attention and he needs to make sacrifices and changes for him/the family. 

This leads to a really lovely moment between the brothers at the end of the episode that I genuinely enjoyed, so. I’m hoping that there will be more of that and less of ‘drama with Sarah’.

(Also if you think that sounds a little like another pair of Super siblings...it does! And also hold that thought.)

The OTHER big twist is that Master Chief AKA Captain Luthor comes from a world with an EVIL SUPERMAN.

To be clear, the set-up is very obviously, ‘Our Clark will prove Captain Luthor wrong re: thinking he’ll turn evil,’ so I’m not seriously suggesting we’re in for a full-on Injustice situation. I just find it funny, how quickly they pulled out the ol’ evil Supes.

(The one we saw in Elseworlds doesn’t count since that wasn’t Clark.)

And maybe this one isn’t either! I admit complete ignorance as to the comics stuff they’re pulling from; I guess it’s somehow connected to Project 7734 (Which is ‘hell’ upside down, as any fifth grader with a calculator will tell you) a counter-Kryptonian force put together by Sam Lane, I think? 

IDK. Like I said, comics blind spot.

The episode ends with Grandpa Lane looking a bit spooked at the ominous 7734 keychain Captain Luthor gave him, and Captain Luthor still on the hunt for Kryptonite! DUN DUN DUUNNNNNN.  

And now, time for a segment I’ll call: Gettin’ Super Salty w/Stranger wherein I will stash all of my frustration regarding the fact that this spin-off doesn’t really want to be a spin-off.

Okay, so first up! As mentioned, the Fortress design has been changed because the silly Supergirl version does not vibe with the new serious aesthetic.

Their loss! More Legion Rings, baby Sun Eaters, and impractical front door keys for Supergirl!

The sunstone AI details the last days of Krypton, and only one (1) pod is shown escaping the destruction.

Thanks, I hate it.

I do appreciate that Jor-El at least kinda appears to be wearing clothes that match the look of Supergirl’s Krypton. I wasn’t paying close attention to the buildings in the hologram, no clue if they match the architecture we’ve seen thus far.

Like, I get it. There’s no time to pause the plot and be like, ‘hey, just FYI, I’m not the sole survivor of Krypton, my cousin escaped as well’ but also AAAARRRRRGHHHHHH. 

You’re using the versions of the characters introduced in Supergirl, the least you can do is namedrop her once. ONCE. That’s all I’m asking. XD

They missed their opportunity, actually; when the boys were like, ‘We have so many questions!’ All you had to do was slip in, ‘Are we related to Supergirl?’ Bam. Done. Never need to go back to it, you’ve acknowledged it, continue on with your solo Sad Dad adventures!

(Except I guess that wouldn’t work, since so much of this is built on Clark being the Lone Protector of the earth. If you allude to other heroes being around, your whole character motivation/struggle makes less sense.)

I get it but I don’t have to like it. XD

They shoulda just set this on another Earth!

Circling back to the sibling dynamic: I hate how now I really want Kara to someday appear on this show and hang out with the boys and be like, ‘ah, yes, I know the feeling, my sister and I were the same.’

That’s it, that’s all the crossover content I need. I realize Melissa is moving on to bigger and better things but MAYBE SOMEDAY. XD (Or maybe I’ll just write a fic, who knows.)

I can’t remember if I brought this up already but it is hilarious to me that anyone still thinks of Superman as a reporter--most modern takes treat it as an afterthought and here, it’s dispensed in the first episode.

It has not been brought up since.

Like, much is made about Lois leaving Metropolis, and what that’ll mean for her career, but no one in Smallville is like, ‘Clark, wow! Farming? That’s quite a career change!’

(I assume he’ll be farming, since they mentioned starting the farm up again.)  

...You think anyone will drag the writers for tossing aside Clark’s ‘true calling?’ 

Who am I kidding? Supergirl fandom is not watching this show, they’re just harassing the people running the social media accounts. 

SO OVERALL: The good remains good! The meh remains meh! I appreciate that this version of Clark and Lois exist as we inch ever closer to the release of the Snyder Cut! But also the behind-the-scenes stuff continues to hang over everything like a terrible cloud! Here’s hoping those problems are addressed!

[honeyrose-tea]

all the risky and really asks. -🌙

ok you asked for it, but be prepared, I'm hella boring lol

1. “@” people you want to be friends with

I know this is lame but I don't really have anyone? maybe on my old blog, but on this one I mostly just have old mutuals who I already consider myself friends with.

2. screenshot the tabs you have open

I won't do that to my camera roll bc there are at least 30 BUT I'll give you the highlights:

a hilarious music video by a boy from school, filmed in our dorm (and no, there's no context, he just made this for fun): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qaqk3PmQv20

this ring I want (which I can't afford lmao): https://www.dior.com/en_us/products/couture-JROC95024_0000-rose-dior-pre-catelan-ring-small-model-in-18k-pink-gold-and-amethyst

this wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_about_the_word_%22niggardly%22

multiple articles about sharks (I'm obsessed with sharks)

a lot of me searching for memes or vines which I just forgot to close lol

recipes for berry crisp (Dan's fav dessert), watermelon sorbet (one of dad's fav desserts), and creme brulee (something I wanna make)

reddit nosleeep

me trying (and failing) to find a free pdf of the DSM (manual for diagnosing mental disorders)

me trying to identify a bird from my backyard

the coca cola freestyle machine locator (I'm addicted to creme soda with peach flavoring)

this article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theodysseyonline.com/10-chris-evans-movies-ranked-by-hotness.ampe

and finally, a tab of me searching for where to buy the unedited version of Anne Frank's diary (she was bi!!!)

3. the last text you sent to someone?

"lol" to my mom... srry I'm not more fun

4. do you have a nsfw blog?

I do not

5. i dare you to _____ 

can you give me a truth instead? lmao

6. screenshot the first page of your search history

I use an incognito browser...

7. tell an embarrassing memory or story

one time I walked into the mens room behind my dad bc I was so zoned out I forgot I couldn't follow him everywhere

8. how often do you take showers?

depends. if I've worked outside or something then I definitely take one right after. but on a daily basis? probably once a day or every other day, if I'm home. if I'm at school I try to take one at home on Sunday, one at school midweek (possibly two), and then one as soon as I get back on Friday. I hate showering at school bc we have community bathrooms and you have to wear flip flops. it's gross

9.  what was your first blog URL?

I honestly don't remember my first one but I know at one point toward the beginning I was called "frozenfloralpolaroids"

10. if you draw or write, show some of your really old work

I don't draw and I don't write recreationally, the only things I can think of are some pieces I wrote for school projects, which I probably don't have on hand. once again sorry I'm lame lol

1. if you had to hug anyone who would you hug

uhhhhh probably my sweet internet friend who we'll call M. he needs a hug and I feel like he would give good ones:)

2. whats your favorite flavor of ice cream?

depends on the mood! if I'm feeling fruity I'll go for like a cherry cordial or a strawberry milkshake or maybe even a fruit sorbet! but if it's like a rich desserty mood I like anything with peanut butter or caramel or chocolate (or all three!). tldr; if you give me ice cream I will eat it

3. whats your favorite color?

idk? being LGBTQ+ I feel like I have some license to just say "the rainbow" but. for the sake of answering, I guess purple. I like purple a lot.

4. if you have pets, what are their names?

my dog that passed a year or so ago was named Haley, after Haley's comet. we called her a beagle/hound mix but she was really just a mutt. I loved her a lot:(

my other dog (still living) is my best friend. her name is Izzy and she's a golden retriever, though I'm convinced she's actually an angel

I have 18 chickens! here are the five who are still remaining from our first flock:

Annalise/Anna, a buff orpington (golden colored) who's big and floofy. she's Loud and likes to let us know she's laid an egg by singing an "egg song", which basically means clucking loud enough that we can hear her inside our house

Rosie/Rosalinda/Rosa, a rhode island red (a dark auburn color) who is debatably the alpha. she's a people-lover, and the best one to let kids hold as she's very calm. she'll fall asleep in my arms. but don't let that trick you, she's still bossy with the other chickens and aggressive when it comes to food (but aren't we all?)

Marsha, a black chicken (can't think of the breed rn) who is hearty and medium-sized. she's calm and demure and she has pretty brown eyes:)

Elsie and Stella, easter egg chickens (smaller breed that lays pastel green eggs) who are named after my maternal grandmother and great-grandmother. their names fit the way their namesakes were- Elsie is a lighter brown color and quite shy and sweet, Stella is skinny and darker and mean. not mean, really, but she has taken to bullying our new chickens which we've been trying to get her to stop doing

now for the new babies! (who are almost adults now!)

Rory and Lorelai, barred rocks (black and white striped) who are named after the Gilmore Girls characters

Violet and Iris, lavender orpingtons (gray with a hint of purple) who are both very sweet and named after their color, of course

Molly and Edith, two more easter egg chickens who are named after two more of my ancestors!

Clarice and Clover, buff orpingtons (like Anna) who are both super shy and precious (unlike Anna)

Ora and Georgetta. Ora is a golden-laced wyandotte while Georgetta is silver-laced (basically, they're dark-colored except for the ends of their feathers, which have a colored detailing. also come in blue and red varieties). they're named after two of the old ladies at our former church

Josephine/Josie and Penelope/Penny, new hampshire reds (a little lighter than Rosie but same idea) who are both so cute. they have a bit of black in their tail feathers and are just so so pretty:)))

finally, our special girl Buttercup! Buttercup was an extra because we ordered our babies as hatchlings from an online store, and they said we could have an extra for free! Buttercup is pure white and she is such a chracter. she likes roosting up really high and has fun doing things she knows she's Not Supposed To Do. she's funny and I love her

5. do you like a warm bed or a cold bed?

cold! I lovvvve sleeping in the cold. I like having the room super cold and then cuddling up under my blankets bc........... I'm baby

6. whats a really good memory you have?

strangely, the first thing that popped into my head was sitting on a rooftop with T on a really nice night. I'm not sure why, as I don't think about him that often, but I guess that goes to show that you can still love the memories even if you don't love the person anymore

7. favorite song you cant stop listening to?

Sweet Life by Frank Ocean, and the entire EP "This Thing Called Living" by Eloise

8. do you drink water with or without ice in it?

with ice, unless it's a bottle from the fridge. I love cold water though, and will very rarely drink room temp

9. do you like to use correct grammar when you type or just type all lowercase?

both? I don't capitalize the beginnings of sentences, but I do capitalize proper nouns and use correct punctuation and all that. I just feel like it looks too stuffy when there's all those capital letters

10. whats something thats made you laugh recently?

I was at a restaurant tonight where the servers sing throughout the night (they're all trying to make it on Broadway) and one guy sang a love song directly to this girl and threw confetti on her, which was funny. other than that probably just like. memes

This is heartbreakingly gorgeous.

[brief video description: animated short by Marsha Onderstijn Animation about Death, which is portrayed as a being wearing a long black robe made out of black rags and a white skull mask with fangs. The lower part of Death’s face and its arms and legs appear to be like those of a White human, except with one fewer digit on each hand and foot. The video follows the actions of Death as it moves through a quiet forest and makes friends with a deer, which eventually places itself into Death’s hands and dies. Calm guitar music plays throughout, and in some scenes birdsong also can be heard. There is no dialogue.

detailed description with timestamps:

0:00-0:14: A summer morning in the forest. Sunlight streams through the trees. Foxgloves are in bloom. The birds are singing.

0:15-0:18: A bird lies on the forest floor. A hand is placed gently on the bird’s back. The bird dies.

0:19-0:27: A grey wolf lies on the forest floor. A hand is placed gently on the bird’s back. The wolf dies.

0:28-0:33: Death flies through the trees in the background. It moves up and down like it’s bounding through the air. Its robe trails behind it like the tail of a comet. Its legs and feet are not visible when it flies.

0:34-0:43: A rabbit hops on the grass and starts to nibble. A hand gently touches the rabbit’s back. The rabbit dies.

0:44-0:49: Death stands next to the rabbit for a moment, then flies away.

0:50-1:02: Death flies through the forest, then pauses. It spies a deer grazing a little ways away through the trees. Death watches the deer eating. Death cocks its head, then flies toward the deer, which has her back to Death as she grazes.

1:03-1:10: Death pauses behind the deer and reaches out its hand. The deer turns to look at Death.

1:11-1:21: Death, hand outstretched, and the deer look at each other as the rest of the herd bounds away. The deer seems to smile at Death, then it runs away too. Death withdraws its hand and watches the deer go.

1:22-1:33: Death looks down at its hands, then flies off in pursuit of the deer. The deer runs through the trees and into a clearing to join its herd. Death follows.

1:34-1:37: Death pauses on the edge of the clearing, where there are foxgloves growing under the trees. Death watches the deer, which turns her head to look back at Death.

1:38-1:43: Death decides to follow the deer. As if to steady itself, Death places a hand on one of the foxgloves, which instantly withers. Death pulls away, ashamed of what it has unthinkingly done to the innocent flower.

1:44-1:49: Death looks longingly toward the deer, which has rejoined her herd.

1:50-2:19: A bright, sunny summer day in the meadow changes to a moonlit night. Death stands a respectful distance from the deer, which is curled up on the grass and is sleeping. Death flies up close to the deer and lands on all fours. It watches the deer for a moment, then curls up in sleep next to it.

2:20-2:38: Another sunny summer morning. Wildflowers are in bloom. The deer herd bounds through the forest, and Death flies sinuously after them.

2:39-2:44: The deer drinks at a watering hole. Death hovers nearby, then sits on the bank of the pond. When the deer looks up to see who is watching her drink, Death looks away, as if to say “Don’t mind me, I’m just sitting here.” When the deer puts her head down to drink again, Death looks back at the deer.

2:45-2:52: A cold autumn rain falls onto a tree branch that holds one dry, dead leaf. Beneath the tree, the deer is lying down, miserable, in the rain. The deer notices the rain suddenly stop. She looks up to see Death hovering over her, arms outstretched. Death is keeping the rain off of its friend.

2:53-2:59: Fireflies dance in the grass on a starlit summer night. Death and the deer sit next to one another, gazing at the full moon and the stars above them.

3:00-3:08: A snowy winter day. Snow gathers on a bare tree branch and flakes fall down from the sky. The deer and Death walk together through the snowy meadow, following the path made by the rest of the herd.

3:09-3:13: Spring has arrived. Snowdrops are blooming through the melting snow.

3:14-3:25: The deer has paused on the edge of the clearing where Death first stopped to watch her with her herd. The herd is bounding away, but the deer does not follow them. Death is floating behind its friend, watching her. The deer seems tired and frail. Her head droops, then she turns to look back at Death. Death lands and stands on the forest floor. It cocks its head at the deer as if to say, “What’s wrong?” The music changes to include a descending lament-bass line.

3:26-3:39: The deer walks up to Death and holds her nose out to it, as if to say “Touch me, please.” Death backs away, horrified. It shakes its head and holds up its hands to say “No.” The deer steps closer, then gently places its nose into Death’s hands.

3:40-4:11: The deer and Death exchange one last gaze at one another, then Death wraps its arms around the deer’s neck. Death holds the deer in a loving embrace, then lowers the deer’s body gently to the ground. Death gently strokes the deer’s back. Death sits next to the deer’s body, gazing sadly down at its dead friend, until nightfall.

4:12-5:00: Death stands up and gazes down at its dead friend. It hovers in the air for a moment, gives one last, loving glance at the deer, then flies off through the trees. Fireflies gently dance around the deer’s body.

Sin igualdad no hay orgullo: El mes del orgullo LGBTQI+ que conocemos hoy no sería posible sin el activismo de las mujeres trans, personas afrodescendientes y de quienes han sido históricamente marginadas por su origen étnico, nivel educativo o situación económica.

Son las personas más oprimidas quienes valientemente se han levantado a defender los derechos que hoy gozamos. Estamos en deuda y por ello no puede haber mes del orgullo sino luchamos por la igualdad.

STONEWALL INN, EL INICIO DEL PRIDE

El 28 de junio de 1969, tres mujeres, Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera y Stormé DeLarverie se plantaron ante la policía para defender sus derechos y de las demás personas en Stonewall Inn, un pub de Nueva York en medio del ambiente de las redadas y la violenta persecución de la policía contra las personas LGBTQI+ en los pocos espacios que existían en la época.

Así, medio siglo después, conmemoramos un mes del orgullo LGBTQI+ en un contexto en el que la discriminación se evidencia más gracias al periodismo ciudadano y la inmediatez que permiten las transmisiones en vivo en nuestras redes sociales.

La denuncia ciudadana incrementa cada vez más mientras que las personas LGBTQI+ y los diferentes pueblos y comunidades afrodescendientes de todo el continente requieren solidaridad y acción para decir ¡BASTA DE RACISMO!, ¡BASTA DE DISCRIMINACIÓN!

Las personas afrodescendientes y los Pueblos Indígenas siguen sufriendo el clasismo, el racismo y la discriminación en pleno 2020, y muchísimas personas LGBTQI+ se encuentran en esta interseccionalidad.

LAS AMÉRICAS, UNA REGIÓN VIOLENTA

En Colombia, las personas afrocolombianas del Chocó se enfrentan a desplazamiento forzado, a atentados y hasta la muerte a manos de individuos y grupos armados. Incluso, mujeres afrocolombianas se exponen valientemente para defender sus comunidades, en el país más letal para líderes sociales que defienden derechos humanos, según un artículo de Amnistía Internacional.

En Honduras, Guatemala y México, entre otros países, matan a personas indígenas que defienden la tierra, el territorio y el medioambiente y estos crímenes quedan en la total impunidad. Mientras que Brasil tiene las cifras más altas de brutalidad policial y la mayoría de asesinatos que comete la policía son de personas negras. Los crímenes de odio también son constantes y quedan sin castigo, como el caso de la defensora de los derechos LGBTQI+, Marielle Franco. Cada día, 13 mujeres son asesinadas en Brasil, la mayoría de ellas son mujeres negras (Atlas de Violencia, 2019) y la esperanza de vida de una mujer trans en el país es de 35 años.

Denée Benton, actress, ‘Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812’

"To Denée Benton, Black History Month has “felt more important than ever” this year. America has a kind of history and plague of erasing important narratives from our story, and I think that might happen more now,” she said, referring to the Trump administration’s policy agenda and what children will be taught in school. “I am sort of desperately relying and hoping that artists and our industry continue to be the leaders in counteracting the policies that may or may not be made, getting to tell the stories that are the truth.”

Jesse Williams, actor, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’

"Before “Grey’s Anatomy” catapulted Jesse Williams into household name status, he taught history to Philadelphia high school students. Black history has always been a part of his life — 365 days a year (“nothing changes in February”) — so he understands that it was created for us by us. Still, he is unapologetic in his view that in its current state, the month itself is “a Band-Aid on a completely unnecessary wound of selfishness in American culture.

One way to change this problem, he says, is to restructure how history is taught in public schools. “You’re vilifying us for six months, then you’re going to give us a little black-and-white photo of Martin Luther King, give us two stanzas from ‘I Have a Dream’ and move on,” he said. “That’s a really condescending and exhausting experience for black people in school.”

Raven Wilkinson, former dancer, Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo

“Maybe it’s the political climate, but we’re paying a lot of good attention to it this year,” the ballet dancer Raven Wilkinson said. “Some people wonder, ‘Why do we need to have a Black History Month?’ We should use every chance to celebrate the hard-fought democracy for our country by everyone. We should celebrate and remember that it is a country of immigrants.”

Janet Mock, author, ‘Redefining Realness’

Janet Mock wishes she had known the work of the black transgender activists Marsha P. Johnson and Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, who were instrumental in the Stonewall riots, as a black transgender kid growing up in Honolulu. The power of being able to see yourself through representation can help you look past the cruelty that ignorance can breed.

Black History Month, Ms. Mock says, reminds her of the hard work of her ancestors and “to continue to say the names of not only my forbearers but also my contemporaries who are linked in arms with me doing this work.”

Dev Hynes, musician

For Dev Hynes, the London-born singer who records fragile electronic pop under the name Blood Orange, Black History Month is always bittersweet. “It makes me feel somewhat angry, actually,” he said. “The fact that it even needs to exist was always really bothersome to me.”

He compares the occasion to a small favor in a bad relationship. “I see it kind of like dating someone and they’re really busy all the time, and you’ve been neglected. But they’re like, ‘O.K., I’ll take you out on Thursday.’ ”
