I so wish I kept wish ASL back in high school but even then (cuz of this show!!) I learned some but not enough to talk with it.. I can kinda tell signs but not enough to know know. Sigh need an app like Duolingo but for ASL.. all the ones I find aren’t free after one or two lessons. Or just aren’t helpful. I used to use lifeprint but I like how Duolingo is laid out more like ‘game’ lessons to help idk.

Wilkerson, Humana-Paredes put on defensive masterpiece in win over TK

Olympics Beach Travis Mewhirter August 5, 2024 It was going right. All of it. The Kristen Nuss defense, the Taryn Kloth blocking. The shots, the swings, the extended rallies — all going the proper direction for the USA in their ninth-place matchup of the Olympic Games, against Canada’s Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson. All of it added up to a 14-9 lead in the first set over the No.…

Cosmic Republic

Joss Wilkerson, dressed as a military soldier, is riding in an armored convoy with his buddy Travis Deighton for a military demonstration in Afghanistan. The demonstration is about advanced weapon systems around the world the following day. As Joss lays down to relax, an air raid alarm sounds off and as he runs outside, he sees alien ships flying around targeting different tents. Everybody attempted to get on the numerous convoys to head to a military base and report their finding. a few, including Joss and Travis, made it to the base and got onto a now live com with the united nation where there is a ruckus about how various spacecrafts attacked various military bases on earth. As they end their call, two medallions crash by the base. Joss and Travis go over to the crash site and pick up the medallions. They had a connection to an ancient cosmic race, a part of a higher order, the Mantodean, and they told the soldiers how the alien terrorists are corrupted space cops who used the medallions to control certain parts of the universe. The Mantodean commands them to save a girl named Trini Lau who is being used by the leader, Win-Woo, to be a part of a cosmic entity that feeds on psionic energy. They activated the medallions to put on the armor and fly to the war site. They meet other soldiers with the same medallions along the way.

Joss, Travis, and the rest of the officers went their separate ways to deal with different attacks. Joss picked up a signal and followed it. It led him to the Win-Woo secret base, where he was confronted by the possessed Trini who overwhelmed him with an enhanced cosmic blast. Joss tries to escape, but Trini’s relentless barrage of energy blasts prevents him. Some officers picked up the same signal, but were moments late, and helped Joss. They managed to repel her with only one casualty. They hide on a barren planet for other officers. Travis went to an attack site where he met Kane Ogden, another human officer, who was defeated by Leisa Dark, a Tenebris Lumenian terrorist with similar powers. Travis created a sonic cannon and blasted her away and unconscious.

Travis and Kane prepare to leave, but they are met up by Joss and Graph, an alien officer. Joss tells Travis what happened and how he is drained from his experience. Before they finished their conversation, the terrorist arrived with Win-Woo and Trini, who drains all the power in Joss’s suit.

Before the terrorist could kill them, an army of officers arrived and even the odds. Both parties escaped with no casualties. They arrived on Ohan, who is the Cosmicam Esse, giving his energy to the officers indiscriminately. There, they pleaded with Ohan to take away their powers to which he said no because the cosmic balance must be sustained. Joss, Travis, and Kane made a plan and headed to earth for a final stand. They advise the other officers to do the same. As they arrived on earth, the first wave of attacks came upon them to which they fought them off with their true plan not yet realized.

The terrorist group attacked earth with Kane, Joss, and Travis fighting them in the upper atmosphere. Joss confronts Trini again, but is absorbed into her mind. He used her happy memories to free her from the cosmic entity that possessed her. A Mantodean named Oo’Watt’Too appeared and imprisoned the entity in the core of Ohan. he congratulated them, but told them the war is far from over.

Joss traveled to his hometown Sacramento, California and warned the population of the next wave. As he finished warning the population, Win-Woo attacked Joss out of nowhere, damaging his suit. This forces him to stay on the ground for the duration of the fight.

Travis and Kane evacuated everybody and contained the fight. This left Joss into a melee brawl with Win-Woo. Win-Woo had the upper hand until Trini intervened and blasted him away. They ultimately arrested a fair number of terrorists including Win-Woo while the rest of the terrorists ran away. So the officers decided that they needed to name themselves and the terrorists to distinguish themselves. The officers are named the Cosmic Republic and the terrorists are named the Universal Separatists. The Cosmic Republic sets up base on Ohan and guards the rest of the universe.

Film by Creative Agitation (Travis and Erin Wilkerson)

[thefilmstage]

Throughout the remarkable Did You Wonder Who Fired the Gun?–director Travis Wilkerson’s attempt to learn more about and confront the murder of the African American Bill Spann by his white great-grandfather S.E. Branch through a cinematic essay on racism in America–there are many black and white images of houses, forests, and roads in Alabama, the state in which the killing took place. As interview subjects recount memories or details related to the crime—through either first-person testimony or Wilkerson’s second-hand paraphrasing—the film often eschews focusing on the speaker to dwell on local spaces, quietly moving through static shots of Alabaman milieus. These images are so still that, at first, they resemble photographs—specifically, old photographs of the sort that one might find in the photo album of someone who was alive when Bill Spann was killed. But if you look closely, you’ll see that the leaves and grass in the image are actually moving, rustling ever so slightly in the breeze.

These shots are some of the most important in the film because they articulate, embody, and realize one of the film’s central projects. In having filmic shots appear like old photographs to the point where the viewer’s impression will almost always be one of seeing a still image come to life (provided she notices the movement at all), Wilkerson signals that his film will be about reanimating the dead, about exhuming a past that a society built on racism and oppression has tried to ignore or forget. On the other hand, the fact that the images themselves were never actually still to begin with—they only appeared to be—suggests that the past itself never died, or, alternatively, that we’ve never moved beyond that which we thought we’d left behind.

“For glory lit, and life alive, for goals unreached and aims to strive. All men must try, the wind did see. It is the test, it is the dream.”  

March 6, 1836 Day 13

You remember the names, you will always remember the names- Crockett, Bowie, and Travis- and yes even Santa Anna- and most of all you remember the ALAMO

William Barrett Travis the commander of the garrison is one of the first to die from a single shot to the head-

Colonel James Bowie. Bowie was critically ill and confined to  bed when the fighting began. The soldiers showed little mercy as they  silenced him with their bayonets.

To this day most historians believe that David Crockett, the legendary frontiersman from Tennessee dies outside the walls of the Alamo after the battle ended

All 200 plus defenders of the Alamo are lost- most historians believe Santa Anna army loses between 600-1200 men- with some saying the number was closer to 1800- a fact that will never be known- Between 10-14 survivors of the Alamo are spared by Santa Anna- including Susanna Wilkerson Dickinson  and her infant daughter, Angelina . Her husband, Almaron Dickinson dies inside the walls-

The battle of the Alamo lasted but 90 minutes
