#Rosa DiAngelo

[daughter-of-sapph0]

drawing my OCs being gay again

honestly my main goal with these characters is to make a bunch of horny lesbians say "wish that was me"

[angel-in-shibari]

I'm writing a story called Fool's Mate. it's a spin off of The Matron's Handmaiden by Clairanette, which is one of my favorite stories of all time.

Fool's Mate is a story about Rosa DiAngelo, and her slave, Avery Fitzgerald. with a locking shock collar around her neck, Avery is forced to obey her Mistress's every demand. but both feel the weight of their past relationship, and even though they both hurt each other, Avery secretly wishes that they can learn to love each other again.

there's only two chapters right now, but I'm working on a couple more right now.

I plan on making FM into a huge story, and I'm gonna try and get a new chapter out at least every month if not more frequently.

please check it out if you're interested!

Black History Month Reading List

As we continue our anti-racist work, we’re participating in Black History Month by focusing on ways to further the intentions that many have set this month and encourage action far beyond February.

In June, we made a promise to listen, to understand how we got to where we are, and to learn how we can do better — fighting systemic racism to make an anti-racist future a reality now. As a Team, we’re taking Black History Month as an opportunity to learn more about the Black voices, leaders, and contributions that have been made to health and wellness, to help us better understand the space we are so grateful to be a part of.

Understanding Black history in Canada and beyond, and committing to educate ourselves and others about systemic racism is essential. This past month, our Inclusion & Diversity Team has been reading Layla F. Saad’s Me and White Supremacy as an exercise to self-reflect on our own privilege, systemic racism, and in aligning our values with our actions. 

To further broaden our own and other’s understanding, we (virtually) perused the shelves at Toronto’s A Different Booklist -- a Canadian, independent, multicultural bookstore specializing in books from the African Caribbean Diaspora and the Global South -- to put together a list of important Black history and anti-racism titles. This is a great first step, and as Rosa Parks said, “To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try.” Start where you can, always try, and carry these learnings with you each and every day until we live in a world that is truly equal. 

Four Hundred Souls by Ibram X. Kendi and Keisha N. Blain, Random House, 2021 Fresh on the shelves, Four Hundred Souls is written by historian, anti-racist scholar, and award-winning author Ibram X. Kendi and historian Keisha N. Blain. Together this duo assembled ninety brilliant writers, who each explored and shared stories and history from a five-year period of the four-hundred-year journey of African Americans from 1619 to the present. This is at the top of many of our must-read lists, not just for the opportunity to learn in such a unique storytelling format, but to learn from such a diverse collection of minds and perspectives. 

Me and White Supremacy by Layla F. Saad and Robin J. DiAngelo, Sourcebooks, 2020 As we mentioned above, our Inclusion & Diversity team is working through this eye-opening book that challenges the reader to do the essential work of confronting your biases, and understanding systemic racism and our place within these systems, whether we knew we were there or not. More than just a book, Me and White Supremacy is a journey in learning and unlearning, with journal prompts that have the reader do further reflection into their own privilege and help continue the work necessary to create social change. 

So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo, Basic Books, 2019 A title picked up by many this past summer when the tools and context needed to be a true ally in anti-racist conversations were found to be lacking. While the author points out that they hope a book like this is not needed in the future, today it serves as a hard-hitting examination of race in America, guiding its readers to a place where honest conversations about race and racism can take place. 

The Prophets by Robert Jones, Jr., Putnam, 2021 Yet another very new release and one we have not yet read, but solely based on The New York Times Book Review (describing the book as spell-casting), this is next up in our pile of books to read through. This is the author Robert Jones Jr.’s (Creator of the social justice social media community Son of Baldwin) debut novel -- a fierce story of the “forbidden union” between two enslaved young men in the American South. A painful examination of this time in history, but with beautiful displays of “the enormous, heroic power of love.” 

The Skin We’re In by Desmond Cole, Doubleday Canada, 2020 A national bestseller and winner of last year’s Toronto Book Award, this perspective-shifting book comes from one of our country’s most celebrated and powerful voices, Desmond Cole. After exposing the racist actions of the Toronto police force, this title explores just one year -- 2017 -- in the anti-racist fight in Canada. Cole has committed much of his work on defending Black lives, The Skin We’re In is a truly essential read for anti-racist and social justice movements in Canada.

Book Challenge 2020 (100 books!!) (I did it!!)

After forgetting to track my reading for three years, I started recording my reading on Tumblr last year again, and I’m committed to continuing that this year!

This year is my final year of my Bachelor’s Degrees (I’m finishing English in June) and I’m planning to do a gap year from September on, so now more university after June (at least as far as 2020 is concerned).

I do not really foresee any issues or obstacles to reading this year, except of course finishing my thesis which will probably take quite some time, so I do expect a decline around April until early June. Although I do have a lot more time off in my gap year, I used to read a lot of mandatory books for my studies, so I don’t know whether having a gap year will mean reading more books. Since I’m not doing any university studying, I am interested in reading academic books by myself, studying by myself. Those books are often longer, denser and just take more time to get through; consequently, I might read fewer books in the same amount of energy and time spent reading.

To make a (somewhat) long story short: my expectations are in line with the amount of books I’ve read in the last years, so I’m expecting to read 75 books this year!

Update: it’s mid-October and I’ve already read 99 books this year, so I’ve finished my original goal of 75 books! Now I’m going for 100 books (which should be easy to do, and after that we’ll just see how it goes!).

The crossed book is the one I’m currently reading, I’ve written reviews for books that have a (x) behind them, with the (x) being a link to my Goodreads review!

Update: Today (November 23) I’ve read 114 books so I’ve finished my challenge of 100 books! Right now, I’m still 25 books ahead schedule! Let’s see if I can keep that energy up!

Bless me Father, for I have sinned

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl."

The priest asks, "Is that you, Joey Pagano?"

"'Yes, Father, it is."

"And who was the girl you were with?"

"I can't tell you, Father.”

"Was it Tina Minetti?"

"I cannot say."

"Was it Nina Capelli?"

"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."

"Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?”

"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."

The priest sighs in frustration. 

"Well, you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now go and behave yourself."

Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?" "Four months vacation and three good leads!"

BEING PINK AIN’T EASY (PREMIERE OKTOBER 2019)

Pink people wanna know if other pink people like hip-hop

how can it still be hip-hop? That’s like asking, if black people like Dirty Harry is he still Clint Eastwood?

(aus What is Hip Ho? Greg Tate)

2002 trug der Rapper Cam'ron im Musikvideo zu Hey Ma ein rosafarbenes Bandana unter einem rosa abgesetzten Cap, passend zum rosa Velours-Tracksuit. Die US-Rap-Welt, sonst von performativer Hypermaskulinität durchtränkt, kam nun weich, plüschig und pink daher. Dieser Trend erreichte schnell die Laufstege europäischer Metropolen, hatten doch Afro-Amerikanische Rapper, welche rassifizierte Zuschreibungen von Heterosexualität, Hypermaskulinität und Aggressivität perfekt verkörperten, bewiesen, dass die feminin vergeschlechtlichte Farbe ihrem Image nicht schaden konnte. Dieser medial-historische Moment ist der Ausgangspunkt für das choreografische Solo BEING PINK AIN’T EASY,das die Fragilität und Machtmechanismen, die sozialen Konstruktionen zu Grunde liegen, sichtbar macht. Die Arbeit ist eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem unstillbaren weißen Begehren nach Schwarzen Ausdrucksformen. Denn neben der Musik liefern uns Künstler*innen ihre Körperlichkeit als konsumierbare Konzepte zur Konstruktion des eigenen Selbst. Kapitalistische Vermarktungslogiken machen Schwarze Ästhetiken zu einer für jede*n verfügbaren performativen Maske. In Everything but the Burden – What white People are taking from Black Culture (2003) beschreibt Greg TateHip Hop auch als das ästhetische Nebenprodukt der amerikanischen Dream-Maschinerie, des Konsumkapitalismus und der unterschwelligen Verführung. Weiterführend stellt Tate fest, dass somit die Figur des White N*, des Wigga oder Wangsta in einer langen Traditionslinie mit US-amerikanischen avantgardistischen Künstler*innen der 20er und 30er steht. Deren spätere und präziseste Ausformulierung wird durch die Kunstfigur Eminem verkörpert. BPAE verweist schon im Titel auf Hautfarbe als Konstruktion, die Weiß-Sein als machtwirksamstes Symbol gesetzt hat und durch seine Nicht-Benennung als solches vermeintlich neutral daherkommt. Die Bühnenfigur, der White N*, erfährt in BPAE eine Hyper-Markierung: Sein Pink-Sein nicht von sich weisen könnend ist er mit der schwer aushaltbaren Tatsache konfrontiert Profiteur der weißen Matrix zu sein.

BEING PINK AIN’T EASYsucht nach den Ambivalenzen die zwischen den Abwehrmechanismen wie „white fragility“ (Robin DiAngelo) und Formen kultureller Aneignung verwoben sind.

Give us the Rose/Avery Lore!

okay first off, read this if you haven't already (tw for abuse, kidnapping, M/s, stockholm syndrome)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/54867976

here's some Rosary fun facts:

- I'm using the ship name Rosary. I like how it sorta references both characters' religious trauma.

- Rosa is catholic, and still goes to church almost every Sunday. she truly believes she's a good person and that God loves her, and the horrible things she does to others are her enacting God's will.

- Avery was raised catholic, but left the church when she was a teenager. at the moment she's agnostic. she had a Jewish roommate, Rachel, and thought about converting but never truly committed to it.

- Rosa and Avery met at a nightclub. Avery was celebrating her 21st birthday, while Rosa was just bored and looking for a one night stand. she would have literally gone home with anyone there. it's just pure luck that Rosa saw her and thought that she looked a bit like Iris.

- Rosa had a huge crush in her... uh... "babysitter", Iris. Iris has curly red hair, but Rosa's father usually made her straighten it and dye it black. Rosa always liked Iris's natural hair, and sorta has a fetish for gingers.

- Avery is trans. she transitioned in middle school, and came out to her friend Violet first. even though Violet is a few years older that her, they've always been super close and best friends since childhood. Avery refuses to admit it, but she's always had a huge crush on Violet. Violet doesn't feel the same, and considers Avery to be more like a little sister.

- I'm currently writing chapter 5 right now. it's gonna be a flashback of when Rosa and Avery first meet. I expect it's probably gonna be pretty intense tho.

that's all the random bits of lore I have right now. I'll post more later if people are interested

[justafanwarrior]

Happy Women's Day

Bonne fête à chacune d'entre nous !

Merci à chacune d'entre elles :

Merci Rosa Parks pour ta lutte pour les droits civiques.

Merci Irena Sendler pour avoir sauvé ces enfants des ghettos même au prix de ta vie.

Merci Fatima Al-Fihri pour avoir créé la première université et nous donner la chance de pouvoir apprendre.

Merci Shirley Chisholm pour nous avoir montré un avenir possible en devenant la première femme noire élue au Congrès.

Merci à Nettie Stevens qui en découvrant comment le sexe est déterminer a ouvert un monde à la science.

Tant de femmes à remercier, certains de leurs noms peuvent toujours ne pas être connus, et parfois on peut simplement oublier de les remercier parce qu'elle n'existe pas, alors dans ce cas, je dirais merci pour chacuns d'entre nous ayant oublié :

Merci Hermione Granger pour m'avoir montré pour la première fois que oui, une femme peut se battre pour ses convictions.

Merci Molly Weasley pour m'avoir montré que ma gentillesse peut cacher une lionne féroce.

Merci Lily Potter et María DiAngelo pour m'avoir montré que ma plus grande force est ma famille et mon amour pour cette dernière et qu'elle m'amènera toujours atteindre mes objectifs.

Merci Annabeth Chase qui m'a appris que la force doit parfois s'agenouiller face à la sagesse.

Merci à Sally Jackson qui m'as appris que j'avais le droit d'être égoïste tant que je suis prête à me battre pour cela.

Merci à Zoé Nightshade qui m'as appris à toujours garder espoir et à ne jamais abandonner.

Merci à Bianca DiAngelo qui m'as appris que la liberté peut être trouvée partout.

Merci Hazel Levesque qui m'as appris que mon âge ne peut pas m'empêcher à me battre.

Merci Piper McLean qui m'as appris que je peux être plus qu'un joli visage.

Merci à tant de personne que j'oublie moi-même, merci de m'avoir appris ce qu'était la vie.

Et merci à la plus importante d'entre toute, merci maman pour m'avoir appris non seulement la vie mais aussi l'amour et le monde.

Tu es mon héroïne.

Fandom Game!

@bookcub tagged me, and it only took me 3 days to respond! I’m getting better at this!

Rules: Choose any three fandoms and answer the questions, then tag people you want to know better.

The Three Fandoms:

Kingkiller Chronicle

Percy Jackson

Brooklyn Nine-Nine

The First Character You Loved:

Kvothe, because of everything he does. His whole “you may have heard of me” speech, him constantly sassing the Masters even when he just met them, and because I too am a musician.

Annabeth! I wanted to be her when I first read the books

Jake Peralta. He’s so ridiculous and goofy, and it’s impossible not to like him.

The Character You Never Expected to Love So Much:

Auri. When she was first introduced I wasn’t super invested in her as a character, but I read Slow Regard

Sally Jackson. She’s the best fictional parent ever

Captain Holt because I foolishly didn’t think he would be a main character, but the he got so much good character development and personal backstory that i had to love him

The Character You Relate to the Most:

Sim because I too am a nerd with questionable social skills, and I don’t really fit in with my family. There’s a line where Will tells Kvothe there wasn’t much love for “quiet, bookish Sim” in his family, and I get that. 

Annabeth. I’m doing my best and trying to live up to expectations and following the rules, but it’s so hard. And i want to rebel

Amy Santiago. If I travel anywhere, I go full Amy and have at least 3 contingency plans. I always want to be perfect

Character You’d Slap:

Ambrose

Zeus. I’m 5 foot 6, full of spite, and reading to fight the king of gods

Either the Vulture or Gina

Three Favorite Characters:

Kote, Denna, and Auri

Percy, Annabeth, and Nico

Jake, Amy, and Rosa

Character You Liked at First, But Don’t Like Anymore:

Felurian. I liked the scenes in the Fae, especially the bit when they talk about the moon in rhyming couplets. But on a reread, I realized Felurian is actually pretty creepy

None of them?

Gina. She just annoys me :/ 

The Character You Didn’t Like at First, But Now You Do:

Vashet

Nico DiAngelo! Battle of the Labyrinth was bad for him, but I realized there was more to what was going on with him once i was older than 10

Charles Boyle... 

Three OTPs:

Kote x happiness, Sim x Fela, and Denna x Kvothe

PERCABETH MY FIRST OTP, Nico x Will, and Frank x Hazel

Jake and Amy forever. The best rivals to friends to lovers to spouses ever.  Captain Holt x Kevin, and The BROTP of Rosa and Amy

Anyone who wants to do this, consider yourself tagged!

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl.”   The priest asks, “Is that you, little Joey Pagano?” “Yes, Father, it is.” “And who was the girl you were with?” “I can’t tell you, Father. I don’t want to ruin her reputation.” “Well, Joey, I’m sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?” “I cannot say.” “Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?” “I’ll never tell.” “Was it Nina Capelli?” “I’m sorry, but I cannot name her.” “Was it Cathy Piriano?” “My lips are sealed.” “Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?” “Please, Father! I cannot tell you.” The priest sighs in frustration. “You’re very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you’ve sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.” Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, “What’d you get?” “Four months vacation and five good leads…
