Those in italics have five or more pieces of usable visual, written, or audio propaganda already. If you have any visuals like photos or videos, or if you have something to say in words, submit it to this blog before round one begins on June 25th!

If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.

[straightbaittournament]

only the option with the lowest percentage will be eliminated! propaganda under the cut (and more always welcome!):

ava silva and michael salvius:

They have some amusingly straightbaity scenes where Michael initially appears to be interested in Ava (meeting her in a bar, asking questions about her, pursuing her to get her to do things with him and inviting her to kick ass with him) but almost all of these scenes are explicitly for plot reasons or end up displaying the closeness of Ava and Beatrice (and Beatrice’s jealousy over Ava seemingly being interested in a man) instead. Michael and Ava develop a strong close relationship that feels more sibling-esque by the end of season 2 and also Michael straight up dies at the end of season 2 as well.

neo, mew, and shin:

Before the show aired there was all this speculation over who Neo (a boy) was going to choose, Mew (a girl) or Shin (a boy). A lot of people suspected that Neo and Mew would get together and even though the trailers seemed to imply that there was something between Neo and Shin, that it wouldn't end well for them. Turns out the show went a completely different direction and ended up with polyamory with all three dating each other. This song from the show released before the show came out and there's a lot of comments from people before the show came out trying to figure out who's going to end up together (with some people saying that they hope it'll be poly but are sure that it probably won't be) https://youtu.be/5w-nDbr2fxY And here's the famous kiss scene (there's no subs in this clip but the general vibe is that they're telling Shin (the shorter guy) that even the two of them have feelings for each other, they care about him too) https://youtu.be/Gr4fTrXqL8k https://64.media.tumblr.com/80a1b4441645c65825f221a42d2e88ed/36e07bb804d7de75-59/s540x810/bd1bb49d299d904c8ffe9a26b970caf9567eaae3.pnj

edward elric and winry rockbell:

literally in different dimensions by the end! they still have a lot of the hallmarks of "ohh endgame childhood best friends" or whatever but fma 2003 just said. naah. winry got the shortest end of the stick and i feel so bad for her!!! continuity specific straightbait. in every other universe they get married and have kids but screw you two specifically 🙏

hikaru hitachiin and haruhi fujioka:

Haruhi x Hikaru from ouran high school host club. Yes i know she technically gets together with another boy in the end, but there is something so Queer about this ship in particular. Their whole date episode is just screaming Not Straight. For both of them.

rowena macleod and sam winchester:

Their relationship was clearly going in that direction before the writers killed Rowena.

galo and aina (submitted as lio and galo):

Iirc, the whole time the audience was set up to believe that Galo will get together with a teammate named Aina (i might be completely wrong but i think she showed romantic interest in him). That's what usually happens, anyways. However, studio trigger turned that premise on its head with Galo's budding relationship with Lio. In order to save Lio, Galo kissed him. They kissed.

mako, korra, and asami:

it's that one meme where the guy ignores his girlfriend to check out another girl, only the two girls get to know each other and get together. S1/2 has love triangle drama between who Mako will be with (Korra or Asami). S3 no one is together but Korra and Asami become really close friends. S4 Korra and Asami are together. Mako is single. Like the only example of exes being good friends and Not getting back together, as well as giving the middle finger to heteronormative assumptions when after the love triangle is over, the two girls get together Shipping the two girls in a love triangle together but it actually happens

pat and ink:

Pat has a crush on Ink early on, and it seems possible at first that she may feel the same way. However, it is later revealed that she actually has a crush on his sister and is a lesbian. It's okay though because then Pat realizes he's in love with his childhood rival and they become wlw mlm solidarity! Everyone wins!

buffy driscoll and tj kippen:

in the show there's this thing were if a character looks back to someone while they're leaving it means they have a crush on them. so they had a scene were tj looked back towards were buffy was, but then it was revealed he was gay and in love with buffy's best friend who was standing right next to her in that scene enemies to friends were tj is redeem through the power of gay love towards buffy's best friend

alexa, liana, ian, and jeremy:

the Only barbie animated movie where the girl(s) do not end up with a guy. alexa & liana live together and enact a ton of romantic tropes together, the twin guys do flirt with them but then the girls are separated from them by... a magic rainbow. they do dance together at the end of the movie... before the girls leave to go live together again. wearing dresses that are literally the bi and lesbian pride flags. no joke. cottagecore wlw separated from potential male love interests by literal magic rainbow the gayest barbie movie

good luck everyone! now go vote!

VOyage Through the Disney Canon(1950-1959)

Now we enter the 50's looking at films 12-16

5.Cinderella-While this fiolm has grown on me this is not a movie I love .I like Cinderella herself finding her to be a sympathetic chararacter,Lady Tremain is a subtle yet creepy villain with how manipulative she is ,Verna Felton is fun as the Fairy Godmother,Lucifer is a fun secondary villain and the animation is pretty ......Problem is I dont like most of the side character and unfortunately they take up most of the movie.The prince is barely a character ,the king is a psychopath who I find more frightening then funny ,and ogh GOD ,I cant stand the mice,they are so grating to me and they are in so much of the movie I kind of wanted the cat to eat them .I get their are people who love this film,glad you like it,but their are better Cinderella films to me

4.Alice in Wonderland :I debated how high to put this film cause I do like it but I dont love it like others do .I love Alice herself who is played brillaintly by Katheryn Beaumont ,the Mad Tea Party scene is one of the funniest scenes of the Walt era due to the animation and vocal performances ofEd Wynn and Jerry Colona ,This is a great showcase for Disney regulars ,like J PAt O Malley showing his range as Tweedledee and Tweedle Dum/Walrus and Carpenter ,Bill Thompson is wonderfully pompous as the Dodo ,Sterling Holloway is great as the Cheshire Cat,and Verna Felton is scene stealingly good as the Queen of Hearts .As a film it is fun to see Disney get weird with great visuals (Hasts off to Mary Blaire ).....However I dont like the songs ,I never liked this takeon the Carterpiller,and while Bill Thompson is great as the Dodo I never thought his voice for the White Rabbit worked .I also think as an adaptation of the Alice stories go,its just a good version and not my favorite (the 99 TV movie is probably the winner there )

3.Peter Pan:So this was one of my favorites as a kid ,then I had a backlash to it ,now I like it but acknowledge it is flawed .Flaws first,the depiction of Native American ,specifically their song is really cringy and racist .....But now that I think about it,that is my biggest issue.I used to have a problem with Peter himself ,findinhim too unlikeable.....But honest this maybe my favorite version of Peter,now that I realize Peter isnt supposed to be likeable ,and in fact I think Bobby DRiscoll does a fine job balancing being both impishly charming and being smugly arrogant ,and I love the animation of him,how he will just float around.Katheryne Beaumont grounds the movie as Wendy,and I kind of love that Tinkerbell who has become a mascot for the company is a murderous little sociopath .I love the character animation of Nana the Dog ,the action is great,Smee maybe bBill Thopmpsons best role and the film has many great jokes.The scene stealer of the film has to be Captain Hook who is one of my absolute favorite Walt era villains ,he is threatening,he is stylish,he is funny and he is marveolusly voiced by the great Hans Conried ,I love his scenes with Smee,his duels with Peter and the hilarious chase scenes between him and Tick Tock the Croc who wants to gobble him up .I'll admit part of me might be putting this film this high for a mix of the villain and nostalgia....But I really like it

2.Lady and the Tramp:This canine romance is higher then I thought it would be but I love this movie ,bioth Lady and Tramp are likeable ,I love the side characters like Jock,Trusty,Boris (Whos played by Alan Reed AKA Fred Flinstone ),Peg,Joe and Tony .The songs are all good,the animation is solid ,voice acting is good and yeah the speghetti scene is iconic.I dont like the fake out near the end and yeah Si and Am suck .However the main love story make this one enjoyable for me

1.Sleeping Beauty-....SO this is my second favorite Film of Walts era ,and might be my favorite of the Princess movies .I like the trivk it pulld by the film being basically about the fairies instead of the Princess .I actually like Aurora and Phillip ,I love the ballet score ,the art style is beautiful,the kings are funny,Once Upon A DReam is one of my favorite Disney songs and the final battle against the dragon is awesome .Maleficent is a MAGNIFICENT VILLAIN voiced wonderfully by Elanore Audley whose true plan is one oif my favorite evil plans ever and she is wonderfully designed and animated by Marc Davis .My favorite characters however are the heroes ,that is to say the fairies,Flora,Fauna and Merryweather who are so fun and lovable (Though Merryweather is my favorite )

Agree ,disagree,comment and share your oppinion

MYSTERY FROM THE SKIES!!!

Last night January 16th hail fell upon our town,However this was no ordinary hailstorm as the hail was perfectly round with a dot in the middle.The experts are confused and so is the town.Some believe that this was caused by a freak of nature there are even beliefs that it may have been caused by a supernatural phenomenon namely aliens.Though research is inconclusive, some say it might have been a publicity stunt by the Cheerio Company but no one has come forth it is also important to note that such a stunt would be very difficult to conduct.

Chapter Six: Greenthread Tea

I had nightmares that night. Some of them were so bad I thought I'd be sick, so I went to the bathroom and splashed my face. Roy sat in the living room with Tommy, giving him his bottle. "You okay, Grant?" Roy questioned without turning around. It made my blood run cold.

"Uh-huh... Actually, do you have something for my stomach?" I asked. I leaned against the wall, and Roy turned to me.

"Do you feel sick?" Roy asked.

"Uhh... A little, yeah," I answered. Roy gestured with his head for me to come closer, and I approached the couch. He reached up and felt my forehead with the back of his hand.

"Yeah... Can you sit until I'm done with Tommy, and I'll get you something for your stomach?" Roy asked. I nodded and sat in the patchwork armchair. I slumped in the chair and stared at Roy as he fed Tommy.

Once Roy finished feeding and burping Tommy, he put the baby down in the playpen. He went to his room and grabbed a bottle of antacid pills. He dropped one in a glass of water and gave it to me. I tried to hold it down, but my stomach seemed to reject it immediately. To be honest, I puked. It was gross and embarrassing, and even worse, Roy was nice about it.

"I'll go get the baking soda. Sit still," Roy whispered. He quickly handed me paper towels to blot my sweatshirt dry and neatly drizzled baking soda on the stain to dry it up. "Still queasy?"

"Nuh-uh... Roy, I'm sorry. That was—."

"I've done way worse, and at least you didn't spit up on the chair... Sorry, is that—? You're a little old for that phrase, huh?" Roy asked. He asked me to take off my sweatshirt and left me alone for a second while he grabbed a trash bag. I carefully removed my sweatshirt and held it in a ball on my lap. Roy took my shirt and tossed it. "Want the couch, or do you wanna go back to bed?"

"Can I sleep on the couch?" I asked. The throbbing in my head finally subsided, and Roy nodded.

"Go shower, and I'll set up the couch for you," Roy whispered. I nodded and went to my room to get my pajamas. The hot water felt good in my hair and on my scalp. Finally, after a few minutes, I returned to the living room and climbed underneath the heavy blankets on the couch. Roy took Tommy and put him to bed in one of the other rooms, and I was all by myself. I was surprised when I started feeling lonesome. It might've been my fever talking, but I got up and asked if Roy would sit with me for a while.

"You okay?" Roy asked.

I nodded. "I had a nightmare before I woke up... I don't wanna be alone, I guess. It's the first time I've ever been sick without my m—. Without them," I explained. Roy nodded.

Roy lay on the other couch. "Okay... Are you sure you're okay?" Roy asked.

I pretended like I couldn't hear him. I didn't know why, but I felt homesick. I wished my mom was there. Eventually, I fell asleep. I woke up shivering and drenched in sweat, and Roy was still there. His presence was different than most adults. I couldn't put my finger on it, but he wasn't like any adult I'd ever met. He took a cool towel and patted the sweat from my face and neck. "I'm still here," Roy reassured. I made a soft noise and closed my eyes. I don't think he left my side the whole night. Every time I woke up, he was sitting right there.

After a while, I sat up, watching the sun come up from the window as he slept. I got a blanket from the hall closet and draped it over him. He stirred. "Thanks," Roy mumbled, "How're you feeling?"

"A little better... Um... Did I say anything last night?" I asked.

"Not really... After two o'clock, it all sounded like background noise to me," Roy replied.

I laid back on the couch, and Roy groaned as he sat up. "You don't have to get up," I whispered.

"Oh, trust me," Roy chuckled, "I do."

Lian came down the hall, and she climbed into Roy's lap. "Were you sleeping, Daddy?" Lian asked. Roy nodded and kissed her forehead. She turned to me and waved. "Good morning."

"Good morning, Lian... Don't get too close. I'm sick," I warned her. Lian nodded and frowned.

"Hope you feel better," Lian whispered. Roy got up, still holding Lian on his hip.

"We'll be right back. I've gotta do daddy duty," Roy replied, "Do you think you can eat anything?" He asked gently, and I started feeling painfully uncomfortable. "Grant?"

"I'm alright... I think I'll go back to bed," I replied. Roy nodded.

"If you need anything, don't be afraid to call," Roy stated.

I got up and went to my room. I couldn't sleep anymore, but my head ached, and my stomach kept turning. I wished I could sleep, but I figured he'd come in and check on me. I was surprised when he knocked and brought me a cup of tea and a bowl of soup. He had Lian with him, and I smiled and waved at her. "Hope I didn't wake you up... Lian insisted on telling you a story," Roy replied, "She thinks it'll make you feel better. Is that alright with you?"

I nodded and smiled, sitting up as she sat cross-legged on the opposite side of the room. Lian started the story, and Roy filled in the parts she couldn't remember. They distracted me from how sick I was, and eventually, I finished my tea and lay down. I still couldn't eat, but the tea was soothing enough to make me sleepy again. I felt like a real kid, waiting patiently for the ending. I tried to stay awake for the end, but I couldn't keep my eyes open. Their words followed me into my dreams until they faded too. They cared about me. They really cared.

I woke up a few hours later to a fresh cup of tea and the soft sound of Tommy crying. My door was cracked, and Roy walked past, peeking through the crack. "I'll be back in two seconds. Lunch rush," Roy joked.

I took another few sips of tea and turned toward the door to see Lian standing outside. "Lian," I whispered, "Thanks, Kid. Your story helped me sleep better."

Lian stood on her tiptoes and smiled. "I'll tell you another story later," Lian replied.

"I'm looking forward to it," I replied. Lian waved goodbye, and I waved back. I hated how lonesome I felt afterward, but Roy came to check on me a few minutes later.

He opened the door and waved at me. "Thanks for humoring us," Roy whispered.

"Huh?" I asked.

"I could tell you were listening to every word she said earlier," Roy explained.

"It was interesting. Can you tell Lian how much I liked the story?" I whispered. Roy grinned and nodded.

Roy sat with me and kept me company until I could eat. I only had a few bites of dinner, but Roy's cooking was borderline gourmet. Even when sick, I could still taste his food. I think he took pride in it. Roy liked being needed. No... He enjoyed helping people. I think if more adults were like Roy, maybe the world would be a better place.

This past Friday, I was fortunate enough to talk to jazz drummer Tyler Dempsey, one of my old colleagues from the Nepa jazz scene. Tyler and I went to high school together and on our road to music, which Tyler kept at, I went in a different direction, Tyler learned and worked with the jazz greats in our area. Drummers Marko Mancinko, his brother Pat Mancinko, bassist Tony Marino, and clarinetist Nick Driscoll all played and rubbed shoulders with Tyler. Tyler and I helped get a thriving jazz club in Scranton called Madame Jenny’s. The club still exists, though admittedly I haven’t seen if it resembles what was from my time there. “The Joint” was one of our competitors at the time and seems to be doing well. You would not think it, but because of Pocono’s jazz club circuit in the 1960s, Nepa has the remnants of that scene, as well as the crossover from Philadelphia and New York. The main events that showcase big-name talent, as well as equally exceptional local talent, are the Delaware Water Gap Jazz Festival as well as the Scranton Jazz Festival, both operating on an annual basis. A world-renowned jazz club, possibly one of the oldest still in existence/business, The Deer Head Inn, still operates and functions as it did back in the day, with weekly shows showcasing its history, as well as being a haunt for longtime jazz musicians. For a young jazz musician, playing at the Deer Head Inn is sort of a rite of passage within the jazz world. Through a Zoom meeting this past Friday, I was able to record forty-two minutes’ worth of interview footage of Tyler’s responses to his experience with jazz music, and the various jazz scenes he experienced/played in. Some of the questions I asked could have possibly yielded esoteric answers, perhaps on what captivates people to music/jazz itself, while other answers are more a matter of fact, poignant to what we see as the jazz landscape today in Pennsylvania, and perhaps even more broadly, the genre itself. Tyler explains that while it may not be as consistent of work, as it was during the heyday of the Pocono’s in the 1960s. that he, along with other musicians, as well as help from the local government, are turning the town of Honesdale into a weekend jazz getaway spot. The local government has been putting money into Honesdale to make it the next getaway/vacation spot for New Yorkers and Philadelphians who wish to have a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of their work-life surroundings. And, while not in Pennsylvania, just across the Pennsylvanian border to Upstate New York, is the town of Callicoon which hosts many jazz musicians, as well as jazz shows away from the island of Manhattan.

This recording will shape my proof of concept in that I will mold this interview into a podcast episode for a series called “All That Jazz”. I will take Tyler’s answers and form a narration inter-spliced, with royalty-free bebop and hard bop music being the bed for the narration. I think a good length for the proof of concept will be a four to five-minute “snippet” of the show. This would be in the vein of NPR/WRTI-produced works, which I have come to know and love, both for their calming effects, but as well as their informative/insightful effects as well. My committee, which consists of Jack Klotz and Larissa Miller have not heard of this proof of concept yet. I will not be going home to Thanksgiving break, and as such will try to deliver it to them for their feedback. However, based on their responses, I am trying to shape this podcast based on their suggestions/questions. So this proof of concept is directly made in part by their questions, concerns, and suggestions in previous emails about my project.

What I hope for the future life of this project is to follow in the footsteps of George Graham, Garrison Keillor, Rusty Fender, Marian McPartland, in that I could do a radio show or podcast about jazz for public radio in the future. I am not sure if this would be more of a side job, rather than a full-time career. However, while it seems that my career has been headed to more television news, and or A.V. for Universities, I would like to develop, possibly with a local public radio station, Philly-Cam, or even a podcast from home programs centered on jazz’s history, it’s present, and hopefully its future. Maybe not as a full-fledged career, but more of a paid hobby. I will share it on Soundcloud, but also will find a station, whether it be a college radio station, public media radio station, or a local access station, to run once weekly. Perhaps it would coincide with what is going on in the jazz world for that week, as well as events coming up both in the area, as well as big gigs in Europe, for those who are dedicated enough, as well as have the means. However, not everyone does have the means, and perhaps I could record these jazz acts, as well as interviews with them, with anybody with a small radio, or streaming device could hear such music/musings.

The construction and heavy machinery industries are typically male-dominated workplaces. But this is beginning to change – in the front lines of construction sites and behind the scenes of immense construction and heavy machinery companies. More women in construction industry are helping to “manage the show.” In roles ranging from CEOs and IT managers to customer service representatives and facility operators – and everything in between.

Currently, according to U.S. Pat. Bureau of Labor Statistics, women make up only 10.3% of construction workers. But as construction projects across North America grow, the need to fill positions will also help companies recruit more diverse groups and shift gender imbalances to women.

The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), suitable for the week before International Women’s Day on March 8, is organizing a “Women’s Construction Week” from March 1 to 7 to promote women as a practical part of the construction industry. WIC Week also provides thousands of NAWIC members across the country to learn about women’s opportunities in construction and highlight the growing role of women in the industry.

Women Joining the Construction Industry

In fact, with the current growth in construction and the demand for skilled workers. According to Big Rentz, people expect the women to make up only 46% of the industry in two short years.

Ritchie Bros. (including IronPlanet and Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers) is one of the companies that helps promote gender reassignment in the industry. From our auction sites to our corporate and operations offices, you will find women in various roles. For example, our CEO Ann Fandozzi, CFO Sharon Driscoll, and CIO Marianne Marck. And throughout the organization, you’ll find women from all walks of life working in IT.

And even though the number of women entrepreneurs at 2.5% is still minimal, it’s clear that the wave is back. With so many women in leadership roles, the door for women in this sector is pushing hard.

‘Will you stop?’ Marcus asked, pulling my attention from the laptop screen and towards him. Sat in a wing backed chair, he almost look regal. The look was good, but so unlike him it’s a little disconcerting.

‘Stop what?’ I asked innocently. If I’m honest, I’ve no idea what he’s talking about. This essay is kicking my arse, but surely he can’t know that. Vampires are good, but they’re not that good.

Marcus mimed tapping his fingers in the air, and only then did I realise what a nervous habit it was. When I can’t fathom what the next sentence will be, I pat the keys as if it might bring the words rushing forth. It doesn’t, but I’ve never been able to break the habit.

‘Sorry,’ I mumbled, sticking my hands firmly between my knees. Somehow, however, that only made the urge to do it again, just so I’m moving, worse.

Marcus’s expression softened as he all but jumped from the seat. In a couple of steps, he’s beside me, leaning around me, caging me between himself, the desk and the wall I’ve been using as a backrest. The closeness brings with it the oddly comforting cold of his body.

‘Anything I can help with?’ he asked, voice light as his eyes skimmed the page still open on my screen. A slight crease appeared between his brows.

‘Maybe Latin translations,’ I teased, ‘Old Man.’

His hand dropped from the table as I shifted to look back at the text. The document is long and boring and probably the one I need to slot everything into place.

To my surprise, Marcus turned, leant against the edge of the desk and lifted one of the fully Latin texts. ‘I’m not just a pretty face,’ he reminded me, a smile tugging at his lips. ‘Actual lecturer as well.’

‘Of science!’ I said, baffled.

The smile fully took over his expression; he glanced to me lazily. ‘Many strings to my bow, Miss Driscoll,’ he assured me before reading – or rather verbally translating – my text in an oddly soothing voice. Maybe teamwork was exactly what this essay had needed.

patricia supposes this is the american dream. mr. and mrs. driscoll. green gardens, white picket fence in the suburbs, a middle class paradise in some midwestern state ━━ all they need to complete the perfect american family is a couple of kids and a dog, neither of which pat is excited to get any time soon.

just like jesse, it's behind closed doors that she feels somewhat like herself. she wears her nice dresses and cartier jewelry even though there's no one but him to see her, even though it feels like such a waste to keep such beautiful pieces hidden from the world. she had sworn off cigarettes after the trial, yet she finds herself lighting one after the other most days. once she's done with this last pack, she's done, she tells herself.

" you should try working my office job. you'd want to die. " patricia tries not to hate it. she can put her business knowledge to use, even if in a much, much smaller scale. it beats being a bored housewife any day. but god, she misses the meetings with important, powerful people, misses the thrill of how illegal it all was; misses the money.

" you know that fancy piano bar downtown? i've been thinking about asking if they need someone new to play. just as a side thing. " with a small shrug, she flicks her cigarette ash into the ashtray. " i know i could work ten of these jobs and i'd still not make a third of what i used to in mexico. but it fills in the time. "

❛ honey, i'm hoooome ! ❜ affections called out more for nosy neighbours than to alert his would - be wife of his presence, roll of the eyes punctuating his trudge through the door. sometimes he doesn't think he's quite cut out for this domesticity act as he once was adamant : the suburbs are one big jerk - off to who can cultivate the best garden and every hello, how you do is really an attempt to ask questions, to pry. their joint worst nightmare.

he's quick to unsheathe his jacket ( but not before checking through the blinds ! ) — it was initially such a novelty to dress up as someone he isn't. yo, it's like, cosplay ! but now it feels like an uncanny second skin, a mask forever glued to his face, features never to be seen by the outside world. self expression is a cruel commodity to take away from a human being. a necessary evil for the illusion of safety.

❛ you would not be - lieve ! the jackasses i see on a daily basis out there. ❜ haphazardly button - up shirt is also rid to the pile; the return to his own personal normality is not quick enough. thrusting a hoodie over his torso ( you can change your name but the scars remain ) he immediately feels more at home.

❛ i mean, total zombies just let out in public. this guy tried to negotiate the price of a fuckin' kitchen cabinet. like what, you're gonna haggle over a can a' beans next ? be for real. i made better money cookin' up baby blue with old shit - for - brains. ❜
