it would be extremely funny if I see that headline and have a good laugh about it and then 2 years later I get hired by Cal State

[xanadontit]

It's March so more college letters are coming in. My brother heard from two UCs: Irvine (rejected, doesn't seem especially upset about it lol) and Davis (waitlisted, cautiously optimistic). He's already been accepted to four CSUs: San Francisco, Sonoma, Chico, and Northridge. I think this leaves about ten schools left? Christ.

The big headline of our conversation, though, was baseball has started up. He took an 85mph pitch to the elbow on Saturday and currently it's "All puffed up and gross and you can see the imprint of the stitches from the ball on my skin. It's...pretty bad." Please imagine this information being relayed in what can best be described as a Baby Himbo/Puddy Jr. type of voice and intonation. He's the best.

Today's random hyperfixation of the day is determining locations and mathing out how long Maeve and Caleb realistically would've had to drive to get to the senator's estate and back to Los Angeles in season 4 episode 2 - Well Enough Alone. They take off during what appears to be the middle of the night, probably around 10 or 11pm, but it could literally have been anytime from that to roughly 4am honestly.

I'm pretty sure all of the real locations used to film these particular scenes are based in Southern California, but I'm headcanoning that in-universe the Senator's home is located in Northern California, a lot closer to the state capitol in Sacramento.

If Maeve were to drive mainly I-5 Northbound from Los Angeles to Sacramento, they would get there in about 6 to 7 hours, pending traffic and weather conditions and excluding any rest stops or detours used.

I don't think they would've made any rest stops. They were on a tight schedule to try and get to the Senator before William could, and Maeve doesn't really *need* sleep as a host in that it doesn't provide any of the restorative functions it does for the human body. She does choose to sleep sometimes, but I would sincerely hope not while driving a car. Caleb on the other hand appears to be just waking up from a car nap right here, but I don't think he would've been asleep for the entire journey. It reads more like he's trying to continue an earlier, unseen conversation with Maeve that probably could've gone something like Caleb asking 'where have you been all this time?' and Maeve giving a vague-ish answer like 'oh in a quiet little cabin in the woods somewhere cold'.

I couldn't find any info about where these two particular locations are based but I am still generally assuming "somewhere in SoCal" and once again, setting it in NorCal in-universe anyway. These make up the exterior of the estate owned by Senator Ken Whitney and his wife Anastasia Whitney. Another interior/exterior location features the barn at Will Rogers Historic State Park in Pacific Palisades and serves as the stable where the real Anastasia is being held under Hale's mind control.

They head back to Los Angeles to attend the opera opening at Angeles Arts Pavilion (which is actually the Younes and Soraya Nazarian Center for the Performing Arts located at CSU Northridge). That's another 6-7 hour drive back and this time they would've stopped at a tailor to obtain Caleb's tux and Maeve's gala dress.

So collectively, Maeve and Caleb would've spent somewhere between 12-14 hours on the road driving to the Senator's estate and back. Almost immediately after they get back TO Los Angeles they then get shuffled away again by a secret train headed off to Nevada for the unveiling of the Golden Age park.

Your SOP is your chance to explain your academic challenges and highlight your strengths, passion, and career goals. Address your low GPA and demonstrate improvement through experience, projects, or certifications.

3. Get Strong Letters of Recommendation

Professors, employers, or mentors who can vouch for your skills and potential can make a huge difference in admissions decisions.

American Boyhood, the Comic Transition

The lecture taught by Charles Hatfield, a current CSU Northridge professor, goes on to tell the work of New York American comic-book artist Jack Kirby. Kirby’s most profitable work that he has done was a franchise called Young Romance comics that launched in 1947 and made one fourth of the entire comic market. Later in 1951 it moved 1 billion copies of comics to America.  I mention this prior to what Hatfield's approach to the rest of his lecture, mainly to demonstrate the transition of what was once Kirby’s career. From appealing to adolescent boy rascals to teenage girls. The environment of what appeals to comic book readers in a certain time frame was crucial to adapt to, which is exactly what Kirby did. During such a crucial time it is important to appeal to the horror of boyhood, knowing that a time would come when these boys will have to give up their games, and there is a fear of knowing how that could be done.

The childhood studies approach of “American boyhood” as a kid during the time of World War II gave many the impression of kids at war. In all of the comic book series during this time such as: Boy Commandos, Boy Explorers, and Boys Ranch, none of these characters grow up.This decision of never growing reflects many of the “feral, heroic, violent, moral and innocent troubles of boyhood” that Hatfield emphasizes on.  Other series such as Newsboy Legion (1942) and Super Teens (1960’s) gave the same impression of being forever youthful, naive and not having to worry about what comes with the responsibilities of adulthood, plus super cool impressions of having mutated powers. 

In the collective endeavor of milestones of Kirby’s career, he decides to depict early crime and war through his comics. Along with his partner Joe Simon, he creates and then loses Captain America in 1941 to 1942 since Marvel took for profit their creation. Since then, this gave Kirby yet another transition to launch new creations in 1942, only a few weeks after the declaration of war. These new creations include Sandman, Manhunter, Kid Games, Boy Commandos, “RIP” Carter and much more. Boy Commandos gave a direct allusion to the 4 allied nations with the 4 boys representing a nation, “RIP” Carter was under Detective Comics or now known as DC. However, an interesting fact is how Boy Commandos was more successful in the 1940’s compared to that of the Justice League.

  Boarding and Military School has been a great representation of the mutated American boyhood that has shaped many boys into the supposed manhood that may be known today. There was a creation of story papers made to specifically target the empowerment and socialization for leadership among these young boys. Survival work or “boy labor” was so vulnerable yet seen as ideal for the transition of boy to man. Hatfield made a great example of alluding to Where the Wild Things are as to show the rebel childish state many boys go through. This “little rascal formula” that Hatfield mentions, has developed and altered through the work of Jack Kirby to depict kids being seen as “boy heroes” and by doing so gives the intel of a child storytelling to something more adult-like.

Introducing In the Field with Asians Doing Everything! We are happy to announce that our former blog intern Lara Santos is taking on the role of Field Reporter, bringing you news from the ground on Asians doing everything and anything. Our first feature of our In the Field series is an interview with Ryan Bautista and Rachel Agbayani, President and Info Chair of the California State University Northridge Filipino American Student Association (FASA). Enjoy!

Lara Santos, Asians Doing Everything Field Reporter: How did you start this organization?

Ryan Bautista: It was already started way before I was born, in the 1980s. It's the longest active running cultural organization at CSUN.

LS: Do you know how the organization began?

RB: I'm not too familiar with it, unfortunately. However, there are some members who are kids of those who did start it--so a couple of the past presidents have been the kids of the founding members of FASA. I personally don't know how it started.

LS: What were the influential reasons FASA was founded?

RB: There weren't a lot of cultural organizations on campus at the time, so a group of people wanted to start something where they felt they belonged. They created events like PCN, Filipino Culture Night, in which they showed the rest of the CSUN campus what Filipino culture is about.

LS: What is your organization's relationship to other API communities?

RB: We have a lot of members in multiple organizations. Some are also part of the VSA, the Vietnamese Student's Association, as well as the Japanese Student Association. We have not coordinated any events together this semester, but I know we're trying to; it's still in the works.

LS: Where do you see this organization going in the coming years?

RB: It’s always our goal to try and open up more of our cultural stuff to the rest of campus. Recently, we've been having our cultural dance practices, as well as our PCN practices, out in Matador Square and in public open spaces. We always get like a ton of people coming up to us and asking, "What kind of practice is this?" or "What ethnicity are you guys?" We'll tell them, and some actually come to PCN to see the finished product--the actual show.

LS: Do you have any hopes for the impact this organization will make on not only the CSUN community but beyond it?

Rachel Agbayani: For me, I think we're growing as a bigger group, and we're seeing people who are not just Filipino--we've become very diverse. So we just try to keep our culture out there and keep our ties with everyone. We just want to be more involved in our community and we've been reaching out to JFAV, Justice for Filipino American Veterans, an off-campus organization. I see us growing there, not just as a club, but more as an organization that reaches beyond CSUN.

LS: Is there anything else you want to add or anything you'd want to tell anyone reading this?

RB: You don't really have to be Filipino to mesh with us. It's an open group of people, so it's always fun to do a lot of cultural stuff, but at the same time, we are a social club as well.

hi

Welcome to my page, genderbecking. Though I have no intentions for anyone to view this other than my Communication + Gender professor (hi Picarelli), I figured I should still give myself an introduction. My name is Becky and I am a junior at California State University, Northridge majoring in communication studies. I am writing this blog as my final project and am so very excited to share what I witness in the world around me when it comes to how we human beings interact and live as gendered beings. I am 24 years old, white, born and raised in California, liberal, cisgender, and ‘heterosexual’ (though I’d rather identify as a point within a continuum of sexualities). I am choosing to relay this information to whomever is choosing to read this blog so you can understand where my opinions, ideals, and views may be stemming from. I in no way intend to offend through what I might share, but to simply do that- share.  

As for the name, genderbecking, it quite literally sprung into my mind as I was signing up for this account. I am a firm believer that a binary is made up and that in some way, each and every one of us falls within a spectrum of masculine behaviors, feminine behaviors, and all that has yet to be named. I am also a total sucker for a good pun.

That’s all I have for now. I look forward to making some critical observations and sharing them with the other genderbeckers that may find me here.

Marc Digeros, originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, now resides in Los Angeles, California where he works for the architect, Frank Gehry, as model shop manager. He received his MFA from the University of Washington and his BFA from the University of Minnesota. He spent two years in Helena, MT as a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation and received the first ever Taunt Fellowship during his residency. He has taught at schools in the Los Angeles area including CSU (California State University) Northridge, CSU Long Beach, as well as the University of Southern California.  

Ceramic artist Marc Digeros says "Wednesday is the new Friday". I hear you Marc. 

"Ceramicist Marc Digeros uses “roundness” as a small springboard into a world of angular structures that still maintain softness within their planes and edges. Rather than relying on the wheel, Digeros uses slabs and  drop moulds to create these interesting forms. The interior of his vessels maintain the lines from the exterior, reminiscent of a skeleton or a bare bones warehouse. His top layer of surface decoration is often decals. Digeros allows these decals of stripes and squares to distort and bend over the undulating angular surfaces of his pots. He plays with 2D, 3D, interior and exterior space simultaneously, reminding the viewer that both are present in every vessel." (CAN).

Calvin Hicks was a photographer from LA whose work consisted of fine art, documentary, and street photography. Born Mach 19, 1941 in Mt Vernon, West Virginia, he first became interested in photography at age 11 upon receiving a camera as a gift from his father. He later went on to major in art education and taught high school art until he married in 1968 and moved to LA. Working as a probation officer, he never stopped learning about and creating photography and art. In 1984, after trying to get his photography exhibited and finding no success, he co-founded a photography gallery in Santa Barbara Plaza in Baldwin Hills called Black Gallery. According to another of the four co-founders, “If you were a person of color, you weren’t getting very many shows in the area. We took it upon ourselves to do that.” That same year Hicks also was a co-founder of Black Photographers of California, a nonprofit that archived works of the state’s black photographers. Black Gallery closed in 1998, and BPC closed in 2000, donating its collections to the California State University Northridge, which includes 500 photographs taken by Calvin Hicks. He is mostly known for his nudes, nature shots, and public events, including scenes from Venice Beach and LA’s Central Avenue Jazz Festival. In 1992 some of his images were included in the book “Life in a Day of Black L.A.: The Way We See It”, and a year later were displayed in a gallery show about the book at the California African American Museum. His work was also displayed in 2011 at CSU Northridge in the Pacific Standard Time exhibition “Identity and Affirmation: Post-War African American Photography”. He died in 2012. #SupportBlackArt #CalvinHicks #BlackArtHistory https://www.instagram.com/p/B8PX2blBEQh/?igshid=1pkx5oxa2o8tf
