A trip down memory lane with this Martial Arts movie from 1991.

I don't remember it being so cheesy... but cheesy in a good way!

[princeoftherunaways]

2023 book recs! (to read and to skip)

inspired by @deanmarywinchester's incredible rec list and general reading reviews!

RECOMMEND:

The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells: I love you autistic androids. forever and ever. I'm pretending the adaptation is not happening bc I don’t think the screen can do it justice so I’m simply enjoying every single page of these books before there’s inevitable show Discourse. I love the plots and the dialogue and just like murderbot I too wish I could be left alone to watch my shows.

Something That May Shock and Discredit You by Daniel Lavery: this book has a couple excerpts on here that make the rounds and piqued my interest and holy shit. if you are trans and queer and probably autistic. read this book as fast as you can. I felt seen in every word and also. Absolutely read to filth.

The Traitor Baru Cormorant (the masquerade series) by Seth Dickinson: I think I finally started this series because of my bestie @ofbowsandbooks (as is the case with so many things) but who's to say. either way I read this towards the beginning of the year and have not stopped thinking about it since. if you read it. please listen to so much (for) stardust by fob. I cannot recommend the specific kind of damage it does to you while rotating baru and tain hu in your mind. just. tailored to me in so many ways (fantasy story about imperialism and masks and lying and the terrible power of math) so I do admit bias there.

Settlers by J Sakai: If you can only read a book or two about understanding why colonialism/capitalism is at the root of all evil...read this book. It's at the top of my general list of political nonfic recs (next to capitalism & disability by marta russell and border & rule by Harsha Walia). I like to describe it as a leftist pov of us history that pulls apart some of the liberal/white "optimism" of People's History of the US.

They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us by Hanif Abdurraqib: I think this was also based on an excerpt I saw on here. I finally started getting into memoirs/essay collections this year and WOW. I mean, even if that genre isn't your thing, you should still read this book. It's just so so good, and utilizes unique topics (particularly music, I love his FOB essay) to explore both small personal moments and larger existential issues.

The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon: This is considered a staple of anticolonial movements & education for a reason. Definitely helpful for understanding the global decolonial revolutions of the 1960s.

Decarcerating Disability by Liat Ben-Moshe: An incredible study of abolition from a disability lens. Clear (if a bit repetitive at times) but overall an engaging read that definitely brings a much needed addition to larger abolition texts.

Chain-Gang All Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah: I read this one after seeing @deanmarywinchester's posts about it. I read it in two days and it knocked me so hard on my ass. Especially as someone who was obsessed with the hunger games in middle/high school. Just. Wow. holy shit. we knew this already but abolish prisons police etc etc and also we have GOT to be done with tiktok. and alexas. and just being okay with casually reposting/consuming videos and images of violence against people of color and and and -

Exile & Pride by Eli Clare: transmasc disabled PNW crew rise up!!!! the trauma of growing up as all these things in a small rural town!!! I have very rarely felt so deeply seen and understood as when I was reading this book. It's heavy emotionally & topically, so warnings there. I did struggle a bit with it but only because of how deeply some of his story reflects my own.

Innocence & Corruption by Aiyana Goodfellow: This book and its author demand a fundamental shift from how we as a society view and treat children. If you are planning on having kids, have kids in your life, are a teacher, etc etc, cannot emphasize enough how important this book is to remind us that kids are people now, and they deserve autonomy, respect, and support.

Honorable Mentions:

he who drowned the world by shelley parker-chan : this was moved down a category only because the book before this one (she who became the sun) is literally just setup for this sneaky gut punch. So as a duology, could be stronger. this book as a standalone? Wow. There's some banger lines and concepts and characters in there. (Wang baoxiang. Just. Oh boy). Definitely fascinating in convo with baru cormorant, and I think a reason it's lower for me as well is because the lens of hwdtw is much more of an internal power turmoil than a study of imperalism, which I'm biased towards interest-wise. I read this purely because of @ash-and-starlight's incredible art, so please go check that out if you read the book - It is absolutely worth the read for their art.

the Black Jacobins by C L R James: I'm a french revolution bitch. it was a special interest of mine as a kid and got me invested in history. that said, we gotta talk about france's fuckery. which is to say, slavery/genocide/colonialism etc etc. This book is somewhat tricky to read at points, especially in keeping track of who's who, but a really incredible explanation of the beginning of Haiti's fight for independence. If you enjoy French or Caribbean history, anticolonial revolutions, and some of the nitty-gritty details of history textbooks, this is for you.

life under the jolly roger by Gabriel Kuhn: who here has seen black sails. (thee gay pirate show. Original edition.) strikes a good balance between an understanding of what pirates have/can/could represent, and absolutely clarity about their actual violence, legacy, and politics. Informative without being drawn in by the romanticism or dismissing its power completely.

the essential June Jordan: Politically relevant and also just lyrically beautiful poetry.

hell followed with us by Andrew Joseph White: trans horror fans w/ Christianity beef, this is for you. I am NOT a horror fan, but it was so well done and resonant with me that I stomached the gore for it and do absolutely recommend. if that’s your thing

DO NOT RECOMMEND:

the invisible life of addie larue by ve schwab: I love VE and am a bit of an apologist for her prose over plot bc her worldbuilding is always so cinematic to me, but this was such a frustrating waste of a brilliant concept. It was just...boring? Neither Addie nor Henry are particularly interesting (Henry's relatable, but again, not engaging as a character) and for someone who's been alive for a long time, I expected more unique flashbacks and worldbuilding. I expected the ten thousand doors of january, but this was not that, although I think at its soul it wanted to be.

the lies of locke lamora by scott lynch - Been meaning to read this forever since it was recommended a lot on here if you liked six of crows. I would say a similar setup (dickension fantasy) but that's about it. Characters aren't that likeable or clever, the action is slow, and I take issue with the ending.

unwieldy creatures by addie tsai - I so badly wanted this book to be good. It was not.

a day of fallen night by samantha shannon - It was fine, it's just such a long book I think time is better spent elsewhere, ya know?

provenance - second ann leckie book that i've finished unimpressed. despite murderbot being top of my list, this similar vibe of sci-fi did not strike me as one with such a unique clear voice. It just felt like a more inclusive version of many average space books.

S04E16: Mr. Flight Attendant

Pairing: Barbs x Seth from If I Fall by shirlengtearjerky

Prompt: "I am a first-time passenger in an airplane so I do not know where do I get my food provided by the airline so I asked this cute guy that I thought was a steward because of his matching outfit"

Note: This is one of my entries for Ate Leng's Ficlet Writing Contest last 2015. This is not affiliated with shirlengtearjerky or any of her stories. I wrote this when I was young so please bear with it.

Barbs’s gift to herself is a ticket to New York. Well, aside from that, she is going to meet her college friend, Zades, together with her husband in New York.  This is actually her first airplane ride and she totally doesn't know what to do. She already asked her friends what to do, yet natutuliro pa rin siya.

Katatapos lang ng biggest break ni Seth from his work. And he needs a lot of rest. Pagbalik na naman kasi niya sa trabaho, magiging busy ulit siya. So he decided to go New York to have some rest somehow.

For Barbs, everything is going well. Dumadaan naman siya sa tamang lusutan kahit papaano. As they took off, nakaramdam ng nausea feeling si Barbs. Of course, bagong sakay ng eroplano. Her seatmate on the left gave her something to chew for her to lessen her nausea feeling. “Thanks,” she said after feeling a lot better.

“Put on the ear plugs to lessen the pain in feeling the pressure,” the guy said. He sounds nice but he looks arrogant. She followed the guy, anyway. Even if she’s starting to get pissed off of that guy.

An hour after the plane took off, Barbs felt a sudden growl in her stomach. Sakto namang may nakita siya tumayo na steward. “Excuse me, mister!” Luckily, the steward turned around. “Kailan ko makukuha ang pagkain ko provided by the airline?” She tried to sound as professional as she can be.

The steward’s first reaction was to raise his right brow. Nainsulto naman dito si Barbs dahil sa gesture na pinakita ng steward.

Mas nainsulto siya sa pagtanong ng steward na, “Excuse me?”

What the hell! Ano bang problema ng steward na ’to?

“Mukha ba akong flight attendant, miss?”

There, unti-unting narealize ni Barbs na hindi steward ang kausap niya. Eh paano kasi! Halos parehas ang outfit niya sa uniform ng flight attendants.

“Tanga mo talaga, Barbs,” she whispered to herself.

“Okay lang ’yan, miss. Nakuha mo pa rin naman yung atensyon niya,” her seatmate teased, which made her more embarassed and pissed at the same time.

Way to go to humiliate yourself, Barbara Ramirez.

THE JOE SINNOTT HALL OF FAME: Joe Giella and Bob McLeod

Other nominees: Dan Adkins, John Beatty, Mike Esposito, Mark Farmer, Al Gordon, Bob Layton, Pablo Marcos, Frank McLaughlin and Bernie Wrightson.

“I was thrilled to hear that two very fine inkers were selected for induction into the Inkwell Awards Hall of Fame for 2018,” said Joe Sinnott, the award’s namesake and first recipient. “Both Joe and Bob have previous ties to the Inkwells, Bob being the keynote speaker at their awards ceremony at HeroesCon in 2012, and Joe being the Guest of Honor at the 2017 ceremony. It is with great pride that we honor these two excellent ink artists into the Inkwell Awards family as 2018 recipients of the Joe Sinnott Hall of Fame Award. Congratulations, fellas, on jobs, and careers, well done!”

The live awards ceremony began with a special appearance by guest of honor and industry legend Mike Royer, who discussed the art form of comic-book inking, his career in the medium, and its artists. Inkwell Awards founder and director Bob Almond acted as ceremony host. He was joined by hostess and spokesmodel “Ms. Inkwell,” as portrayed by both Hailey Skaza-Gagne and 2011 spokesmodel Kathy Denise Taylor. Artist and Inkwell Contributor Dan Panosian presented the five main awards. Artist and Inkwell Ambassador Pat Broderick presented the Hall of Fame and SASRA awards.

In celebration of the non-profit’s 10th anniversary, Almond created the Above & Beyond Award for those organization members who have performed exceptionally (or others in the community who have made special efforts to advance the art form of inking). These went to:

–Hailey Skaza-Gagne, the longest-running Ms. Inkwell spokesmodel, who has appeared at four straight Heroes conventions and attended 21 consecutive events, raised thousands of dollars in fundraising, all the while expanding her duties to include public speaking and moderating panels.

–Robert Haines, the first person to serve on the nomination committee for 10 consecutive years since it began.

–Mark Sinnott, who has been a Senior Inkwell Contributor for a decade, acting as the liaison between the Inkwells and his father, Joe. “Without Mark’s generosity and diligence,” Almond said, “there would certainly not be nearly as many achievements nor funds raised for the organization–successes which allowed us to reach 10 years of operations and altruism.”

Almond also awarded “Silver Inkwells” to three nomination committee members who participated in five years of service: Matt Herring, Tony Parker and Rik Offenberger.

Thanks to the following people for their generous cooperation: Stephen Wyatt, Jeffrey Harnett and Pat McGrealy.

Full acceptance statements from the winners can be found in the “Results” section of the Inkwell Awards’ website.

-Sa isang alternatibong bersyon ng Ehipto, ang mundo ay patag at ang mga diyos ay nakatira sa mga tao. Ang mga Ehipsiyong diyos ay nakikilala mula sa mga tao sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mas mataas na taas, ginintuang dugo, at kakayahan na ibahin ang anyo sa mga porma ng kanilang mga hayop na may ulo. Defender, isang magnanakaw na may kaunting pananampalataya sa mga diyos at ang kanilang tapat na kalooban sa mga tao, kasama ang kanyang pag-ibig Zaya ay pumapasok sa koronasyon ng Horus: God of the Air. Si Horus ay ipinapakita na naghanda para sa kanyang koronasyon bilang kanyang pag-ibig na si Hathor ay sorpresa sa kanya. Ang Horus ay nagpapahiwatig sa kasal at tinatalakay nila ang proteksyon na pulseras ni Hathor na ginawa ng mga bituin na ibinigay ni Horus sa kanya upang protektahan at i-save siya mula sa kanyang nakaraang tungkulin bilang gabay sa mga patay na kaluluwa sa underworld. Sa panahon ng seremonya, si Osiris ay pinatay ng kanyang sobrang naninibugho na kapatid. Itakda: Ang Diyos ng Disyerto na nakakuha ng trono at nagpapahayag ng isang bagong rehimen kung saan ang mga patay ay kailangang magbayad ng kayamanan upang makapasa sa kabilang buhay. Nakuha ni Horus ang kanyang mga mata, na siyang pinagmumulan ng kanyang kapangyarihan, at halos pinatay. Hinihiling ni Hathor na itakda ang pagsuko upang ipagkaloob sa kanya at siya ay sa halip ay desterado. Si Hathor ay naging isang enslaved mistress upang Itakda. Pagkalipas ng isang taon, si Bek ay nagtatrabaho bilang monumento ng mga alipin habang si Zaya ay nasa ilalim ng pagmamay-ari ng punong arkitekto Urshu. Ang paniniwala na si Horus lamang ang makakasira sa Set, binibigyan niya si Bek ang mga plano sa sahig sa hanay ng kayamanan ng Set. Ang Defender ay nakawin ang isa sa mga mata ni Horus. Gayunpaman, hinahanap ni Urshu ang tungkol sa kanilang pagnanakaw at pinapatay si Zaya habang ang dalawa ay tumakas. Kinuha ni Bek ang kanyang katawan sa bulag na Horus at gumagawa ng bargain: Sinusuportahan ni Horus na ibalik si Zaya mula sa patay para sa kanyang mata at kaalaman ni Bek tungkol sa piramide ni Set. Nang maglaon, naglalakbay sila sa banal na barko ni Ra sa ibabaw ng Earth. Si Horus ay hindi makumbinsi si Ra na ibagsak sa kanya ang kanyang kapangyarihan sa ganap o upang mamagitan at pagkatalo Itakda ang kanyang sarili bilang Ra ay parehong neutral tungkol sa kanilang mga salungatan at araw-araw sa digmaan sa napakalaking anino ng hayop Apophis na nagbabanta upang ubusin ang mundo. Gayunpaman, nakakuha si Horus ng banal na tubig mula sa sasakyang Ra ni na maaaring magamit sa pyramid ng Set upang mapatay ang uhaw sa disyerto at pahihirapan siya. Sinabi ni Ra kay Horus na ang kanyang kahinaan ay bunga ng kanyang hindi pagtupad sa kanyang kapalaran, na pinaniniwalaan ni Horus na nangangahulugan ng pag-avenging ng mga pagkamatay ng kanyang mga magulang. 

Humihiling si Seth kay Hathor na dalhin siya sa underworld na susunod niyang hinahangad na mapagtagumpayan, ngunit tumanggi siya at namamahala upang makatakas. Iniligtas ni Horus si Bek kapag ang Egyptian Minotaurs na pinamumunuan ni Mnevis ay dumating upang ibalik ang mata ni Horus para sa Set. Sa huli, hinahanap ni Hathor sina Bek at Horus. Si Horus sa una ay hindi nagtitiwala sa kanya dahil siya ay isang mistress ng Set, na nagbulag sa kanya, habang sinusubukan niyang kumbinsihin siya na si Set ay kanyang kaaway rin. Nang sabihin nila sa kanya ang tungkol sa kanilang plano tungkol sa piramide ng Set, binabalaan niya sila ng isang tagapagsanggalang na sphinx na papatayin ang sinuman na hindi sapat upang matugunan ang isang bugtong. Ang grupo ay nagtungo sa librarya ng Thoth: God of Wisdom, hinihikayat siya upang malutas ang bugtong. Pagdating sa dambana ng Set, tinagumpay nila ang mga bitag nito kasama ang sphinx upang maabot ang pinagmulan ng kapangyarihan ni Set. Ngunit bago sila maibuhos sa banal na tubig, Itakda ang mga traps sa kanila at ipinapakita ang panlilinlang ni Horus kay Bek: na hindi niya maibalik si Zaya mula sa patay. Itakda destroys kanilang prasko ng banal na tubig at patayin Thoth sa pamamagitan ng pagkuha ng kanyang utak. Si Horus ay nakapagligtas kay Hathor at Bek. Sinabi ni Horus bago ang galit na galit na si Bek sa pag-aalaga ng higit pa tungkol sa kanyang paghihiganti kaysa sa mga mortal. Si Hathor ay nararamdaman ang pagkakasala dahil sa hindi paglalantad ng panlilinlang at bilang ang diyosa ng Pag-ibig, tumutulong sa mga nagwawalang-bahala na mga mahilig. Naghahain siya ng kanyang sariling kaligtasan para sa pagbabayad ni Zaya sa buhay sa buhay sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay kay Bek ang proteksiyon na pulseras na huminto sa mga kaluluwa ng kaluluwa mula sa napupuna siya at tinawag si Anubis upang dalhin siya sa Zaya. Samakatuwid, hinahayaan niyang mag-drag siya sa underworld habang napagtanto ni Horus na mahal niya pa rin siya. Ang pagkakaroon ng pinagsamang utak ni Thoth, ang puso ni Osiris, isa sa mga mata ni Horus, at mga pakpak mula sa Nephthys sa kanyang sarili, Nagtakda ng mga paglalakbay kay Ra, na sumasamo sa kanyang ama para sa pag-apruba at pagtatanong sa kanyang paborismo para kay Osiris at pagtanggi sa kanya ng trono at mga anak. Sinabi ni Ra na ang lahat ng naunang mistreatments ni Set ay mga pagsusulit na naghahanda ng Set para sa kanyang tunay na papel: ang karangalan at pasanin ng pagkuha ng lugar ni Ra bilang tagapagtanggol ng mundo sakay ng kanyang solar barge, nakikipaglaban sa demonyo Apophis. Ang set ay dismayed upang marinig ang kanyang kapalaran ay upang maging nag-iisa sa itaas ng planeta hanggang sa siya ay namatay at tumangging ang alok. Nais niyang sirain ang kabilang buhay upang siya ay maging walang kamatayan. Sinikap ni Ra na labanan si Set sa pamamagitan ng pagsasabog sa kanya ng kanyang sibat, bagaman ang Set survives. Sinaktan niya si Ra sa kanyang sorpresa, kinuha ang kanyang sibat ng kapangyarihan, at pinalayas siya mula sa bangka na nagbababa kay Apophis upang ubusin ang mga mortal at ilalim ng lupa. Natatagpuan ni Bek ang Zaya, na tumanggi sa regalo ni Hathor dahil hindi niya gusto ang isang pangwalang buhay na walang Bek, ngunit pagkatapos ay ang mga pag-atake ni Apophis at ang gate sa kabilang buhay ay isinara ni Anubis. Si Return ay bumalik sa mortal na mundo, kung saan ay namangha si Horus na nais pa rin ni Def na tulungan na alisin ang Set. Sinabi sa kanya ni Bek na si Zaya ang nagsabi sa kanya, samantalang naniniwala pa rin siya sa Horus. 

Si Horus ay umakyat sa panlabas na dingding ng isang obelisk. Ang Set ay nakatayo at sumusubok na labanan siya, ngunit napakalaki ang outmatched. Si Bek ay umakyat sa loob at sumali sa labanan, tinatanggal ang ninakaw na mata ni Horus mula sa nakasuot ng Set, na nasugatan sa proseso. Habang naglilipat si Bek patungo sa gilid ng obelisk, hinagis niya ang mata patungo kay Horus, na dapat pumili upang mahuli ito o iligtas si Bek sa halip. Nakarating si Horus para kay Bek at humingi ng paumanhin para sa lahat na inilagay niya sa kanya. Habang lumulubog sila patungo sa lupa, nakita ni Horus na siya ngayon ay may kapangyarihang magbagong-anyo sa kanyang banal na anyo at kinuha niya si Bek at lilipad siya sa kaligtasan. Napagtanto ni Horus na hindi ito ang pagbawi ng kanyang mata o paghihiganti na ang kanyang kapalaran, ito ay ang proteksyon ng kanyang mga tao na kailangan niya upang labanan para sa. Ngayon, si Horus ay may lakas para sa pakikipaglaban sa Set, at nakakuha siya ng obelisk at pinapatay siya. Matapos ang labanan at kamatayan ni Set, natagpuan niya si Ra na nasugatan at lumulutang sa espasyo, at ibabalik ang kanyang sibat sa kanya, na pinahihintulutan na muli ni Ra na muling iwaksi si Apophis at si Anubis para muling buksan ang mga pintuan. Bilang Horus bumalik sa Bek, isang bata hold ang kanyang iba pang mga mata na kung saan siya ay natagpuan, habang ang mga tao magsaya sa kanya. Ngunit ang kagalakan ni Horus ay lumiliko sa kalungkutan nang dumating siya upang makahanap ng mundong namamatay. Dinala siya ni Horus sa libingan ni Osiris at inilagay siya sa tabi ni Zaya. Si Ra ay dumating at nag-aalok upang magbigay ng anumang kapangyarihan sa kanya upang bayaran Horus para sa kanyang buhay at kaligtasan ng Ehipto. Lahat ng gusto ni Horus ay nagbabalik sa buhay ni Bek at Zaya. Ang iba pang mga diyos ay din revived at ang kanilang mga katangian naibalik (maliban para sa Osiris at Isis, na namatay ng isang buong taon bago at na pumasa sa Afterlife). Si Horus ay pinarangalan ng hari sa pamamagitan ni Thoth at ipinahayag na ang pagkamatay ay magiging para sa mga gumagawa ng mabuti sa mundo. Si Bek ay naging punong tagapayo, at binibigyan niya si Horus ng likod ng pulseras ni Hathor na hayaan ang Horus na iwan upang iligtas siya mula sa underworld.
