it’s amazing how my relationship with my first name changes depending on my mood. back when i was a kid, i used to both hate and love it. now i think it’s time i just love it. giovanna. italian form of joana. johanna. joan. juana. jane. jeanne. a gift from god.
in english specifically, it sounds long. refined. complex. i saw someone saying it sounded pretentious, which tbh made me like it more.
i like to imagine renaissance italy, again, the beautiful portraits i’ve seen of a lady called giovanna who tragically died in childbirth leaving her husband heartbroken. classic gowns, hairstyles. we giovannas were not only muses, though. oh no. i know there’s a female painter, too, from 1600s italy, and i admire her for choosing such a career in a world still so rough with women.
it goes well with my second name, maria. it sounds pink and yellow and orange to me. it slays enormous cunt.

“I think Skyblock at its core is the ultimate challenge in resource management. You spawn on a tiny island in an empty universe. All you have is a tree, some supplies and some dirt to stand on. You have to treasure EVERY dirt block, because if one falls into the void, there's no way to replace it and as you carefully navigate your absurd circumstance, you gain a new appreciation for the few things you have as you meticulously use them to their fullest effect. With nothing but some ice, lava and saplings you slowly transform this empty expanse into a world of your very own. Skyblock teaches us that no matter how ridiculous the odds may seem, within us resides the power to overcome these challenges and achieve something beautiful. That one day, we'll look back at where we started and be amazed by how far we've come.”

“Cuando te digan que estás loca recuerda que un 6 de noviembre nació Juana de Castilla, una reina que nunca estuvo loca, nunca! A Juana la casaron con 16 años con un chico al que llamaban el hermoso, (Felipe El Hermoso) aunque no lo era.(Según los retratos, era más bien feo). El tipo se benefició desde el primer día a todas las damas de la corte. Juana se enfadaba lógicamente, porque exigía un respeto que a ella no se le daba. Ni como mujer, ni como reina, ni como esposa. Y por eso la llamaban loca. Cuando su marido murió, Juana reivindicó el trono de reina de Castilla que a ella estaba destinado. El rey Fernando, su propio padre, no quería que Juana reinara. Así que decidió que estaba loca. Y la encerró. Juana, además, aún era joven y muy bella. El rey temía que volviera a casarse y contara con un hombre que la apoyara en la lucha por el trono. Mejor encerrada. Cuando su hijo Carlos fue a visitarla dicen que ella "le cedió graciosamente" el poder. Mentira! Carlos le obligó a firmar y la dejó allí: encerrada. Juana era una mujer culta, que hablaba latín y escribía poesía. Pero la historia la ha llamado Juana la Loca y no Juana la Prisionera. Juana de Castilla es una de tantas mujeres a las que la historia ha negado su verdadera voz. La próxima vez que te llamen loca o loca del remate piensa que loca es lo primero que se le dice a una mujer cuando la quieren silenciar!

excerpt:
VILLA CUAUHTEMOC, Mexico (AP) — Just like any other day, Dr. Jessica Sevilla Pedraza went to work at the hospital that morning, came home for a quick lunch and then left again. The plan was to see more patients, hit the gym and be back in time for her usual dinner with dad before he went to his night-shift job.
Instead a hospital co-worker showed up at the family’s door in the evening. She said a man had come in with a bullet wound in his leg and told doctors he had been with Sevilla when gunmen intercepted them, shot him and took off with the doctor in her own car.
“Ma’am,” the woman told Sevilla’s mother, Juana Pedraza, “it’s my duty to tell you that we cannot locate your daughter.”
Two days later Pedraza identified 29-year-old Jessica’s body at the morgue. She had been shot in the head and decapitated, and the skin had been flayed from her skull.
“I can’t understand why,” Pedraza said. “Why so much fury? Why so much hate?”
Sevilla’s gruesome death was part of a wave of killings of women plaguing the sprawling State of Mexico, which is the country’s most populous with 16 million residents and surrounds the capital on three sides. The crisis of femicides — murders of women where the motive is directly related to gender — prompted the federal government to issue a gender violence alert in 2015, the first for any Mexican state, and has recently prompted outcry and protests.

Feminist Theory
According to Wikipedia, “Ibong Adarna” is a Filipino epic poem from the 16th century by José de la Cruz. It revolves around the search or the eponymous magic bird, the tale was about the life of King Ferdinand, Queen Valeriana and their three sons, Princes Pedro, Diego, and Juan. The three princes fought for the throne and kingship, and they were trained to fight with the sword and war as the bravest will inherit the throne. The longer-former title during the Spanish era was "Korido at Buhay na Pinagdaanan ng Tatlong Prinsipeng Magkapatid na anak ni Haring Fernando at Ni Reyna Valeriana sa Kahariang Berbanya" thus, the “The Quest for the Adarna” was an English adaptation musical written by Luna Griño-Inocian from the infamous poem that we were all required to study during high school since it’s pivotal piece of Philippine literature.  
In the original story wherein prince Pedro and prince Diego beat up their younger sibling prince Juan for he was the only son who successfully captured the Adarna, it was told that they left him unconscious in the middle of the road, however, in the Musical, they filled the plot-hole into making Juan fell over a cave and made him cross paths with a princess who also has a mission herself. Princess Leonora voluntarily went into a mission into saving her older sisters, princess Juana and princess Blanca from an 8-headed dragon that took them as a hostage since none of the hundreds of men their kingdom sent came back. Together with prince Juan, they succeeded in slaying the dragon as princess Leonora gave prince Juan a piece of her clothing in which was the key to avoiding getting savored by the dragon. The feminist theory into this adaptation was how princess Leonora contributed to the whole plot as the savior of the prince, not the other way around. In all plots of any type of film, women are always represented as helpless little girls who always need to be helped by a “man” or just damsel in distress. Princesses in even Disney movies are always written to be either cursed, kidnapped, or even enslaved. This exactly is how queen Valeriana acted upon. It’s duly noted that she is concerned and worried about his husband’s health, but that helplessness was only bound to be saved once again, by men. However, in “The Quest for the Adarna” princess Leonora portrayed how not all women need to be saved, but can also take turns into helping each other. It also shows how women do not have to be their stereotypes that were set by the ideologies of society. Without the princess’ help, Juan could have never been able to go back to the kingdom, get recognized by the Adarna for it to start singing and grant the wish to heal his father— none of those things would have happened if princess Leonora never rescued prince Juan in the first place, there would not be a happy ending, no lovey-dovey couple, because without the heroic act the princess did, the story would not be the story it sets it to be.  
I, therefore, conclude, that yes, it’s a win for the feminists.

The Most Heart-Wrenching Moments In 'Island Of The Blue Dolphins'
In Island of the Blue Dolphins, 12-year-old Karana is left alone on her island after invaders slay her father and the rest of her tribe leaves the island. Karana must learn to survive completely alone, hunting for food and avoiding pitfalls like the pack of wild dogs that claimed her brother's life. Karana struggles with the loss and the fact no one is coming to save her. In the intense story, first published in 1960 by Scott O'Dell, Karana still manages to find joy and beauty in her life. After nearly eliminating the leader of the wild dogs, Karana nurses him back to health and he becomes her best friend. Generations of young readers couldn't put Island of the Blue Dolphins down. As a Newbery Award winner, Island of the Blue Dolphins ranks among the best children's books. And shockingly, the classic novel is based on a true story. In the 19th century, Juana Maria lived on San Nicolas Island alone for 18 years until help finally came. Tragically, she passed just weeks later. Relive the most heart-wrenching moments from Island of the Blue Dolphins and vote for the most moving passages.
