Florence Kasumba is an international treasure and I hold onto hope that someday Ayo and Aneka will end up fronting a Midnight Angels/World of Wakanda series. Here's Florence as Ayo with some comics-accurate tattoos in plain pencil. Inks and color maybe to come if I have time. Time to rewatch Falcon and The Winter Soldier to get my fix of this unequivocal woman.

UPDATE : Inks added. Tried my hand at adding Aneka but my proportions are terrible because I'm a bad, bad man who doesn't practice arting like I should.

By Roxanne Gay.

I also learned the word dendrochronology- analyzing the patterns of tree rings to know everything that has ever happened to a tree. This is how I love you. I am peeling back my skin, layer by layer, so you will finally know everything inside me.

Channing Tatum Is Working on a Romance Novel Channing Tatum wants you to know that he's way more than a sexy hunk with glistening abs that stars in movies, he's a sexy hunk with glistening abs that writes books too!In a new cover story for Vanity Fair, Tatum opens up about distancing himself from his Hollywood heartthrob image, closing out the Magic Mike franchise and growing close with Zoë Kravitz. However, it was the news that the actor was writing a “fun and sexy” romance novel with Roxane Gay that happened to pique our interest.To be fair, if you blinked you could easily miss Jessica Pressler's brief mention of the project's existence amidst the Bad Feminist and Hunger author's praise of Tatum's wokeness. “For whatever reason, he is intimately aware of his privilege,” Gay remarks. “He doesn’t apologize for it, which is, frankly, refreshing. Like, you’re an absurdly attractive famous wealthy white man. Please don’t pretend that isn’t great. But he treats people well.” That being said, apart from the passing confirmation that this romance novel collaboration exists, neither Gay nor Tatum go on to share any further details about the book.Upon a little digging, it turns out that romance novel has been a thing since at least 2017 when Gay revealed to The Advocate that not only was Tatum a fan of her work, but they were actually working together on a new project. "I thought my friends were playing a joke on me," Gay toldThe Advocate's podcast, explaining that she feared her agent was leaving her when she first emailed her about the project. "And so, things proceeded, and then she gave me an address and said, 'Go here at such and such time.' And I said, 'Okay.' It was around my birthday, so I just thought, My friends are hilarious. They're putting together this surprise party, even though I hate surprise parties, and they're using this ruse of Channing Tatum. I went up into the hills, and he was standing on his front balcony. I was just like, 'Oh, I'm pregnant.' It was really good."And while Gay didn't let many specifics about the project slip apart from the fact that "it's really good," it's nice to know that the book is still a thing six years later. It's worth pointing out that this top-secret romance novel wouldn't be the first book Tatum's written. It turns out that Tatum is already the author of a series of New York Times-bestselling children's books with his most recent one, The One and Only Sparkella Makes a Plan, having been written during quarantine for his eight-year-old daughter, Everly.Photo via Getty/Kelly Defina https://www.papermag.com/channing-tatum-roxanne-gay-novel-2659282603.html

I think about this often too and have, at different times, grieved the life I could have lived and the person I could have been, and I remember this idea from Roxanne Gay from Rookie podcast in 2017 (note that she is talking about experiencing sexual assault at a young age so it’s not a comparable experience, but the idea still resonates with me as someone who has experienced mental illness for most of their life, and it gives me comfort in those moments of grief):

"Nothing good comes from magical thinking, but I think it’s inevitable. When you look at yourself and consider the ways your life has been shaped by external forces [or mental illness in this case]….. you have to wonder, ‘who would I be if I had grown up in a bubble? You know, like who would I be if I were untainted by life?’ And that’s a really seductive idea, like this idea of a *pristine* me - unharmed, unbowed. But I also tend to think that.. I don’t know if I would have been as interesting. My best friend tells me that all the time. We talk about-you know-I definitely, when I’m talking to her, I do wonder, ‘who would I have been?’ But she thinks I would not have been the ‘me’ that I am. And so, not that it was ~worth it~ but something decent did come out of something terrible.”

every now and then I start reflecting on how much mental illness has fucked up my life and it makes me feel sick, I could have been so much more

I embrace the label of bad feminist because I am human. I am messy. I’m not trying to be an example. I am not trying to be perfect. I am not trying to say I have all the answers. I am not trying to say I’m right. I am just trying - trying to support what I believe in, trying to do some good in this world, trying to make some noise with my writing while also being myself.
