Toca fitas na Casa Lúpulo - 04/10/2024

Sexta passada eu estive na Casa Lúpulo tocando um set de música brasileira feito ali na hora, depois de alguns meses se atacar de DJ no bar da minha família (a última vez tinha sido no aniversário da casa, em fevereiro – que, aliás, ainda nem postei por aqui). Foi uma noite gostosa, com o bar cheio e um público simpático e receptivo, como sempre. Foi uma delícia ouvir pessoas falando bem do set,…

Claudia's Celebration of Life: Spark in the Dark - Womanhood & Childhood

As the title suggests, this event is to celebrate the wonderful Claudia; her personality, her aspirations, her journey. The heart for the past two seasons of AMC Interview with The Vampire. This is to take the narrative back to her, proving she's not just a shingle roof for us. 9. Aug 27th & 28th: Womanhood OR Childhood

-- Keller, James R. "Interrogating the Vampire: Heterosexuality and Queer Reading," In Anne Rice and Sexual Politics: The Early Novels.

AMC's IWTV adaptation goes the distance to both mirror & also complicate Anne Rice's "negotiation between the urge to conform to and the compulsion to subvert traditional bourgeois values about sexuality and gender" (20). Rolin Jones said he wanted to have fun with racial and gendered/sexual roles, and all the messy dynamics therein.

For James R. Keller, the (book) vampires conform to a model based strictly on heterosexual nuclear family parent-child dynamics:

(I assume this is what he meant by "three overlapping triangles"? A venn diagram?)

AMC radically shifted these dynamics, by making The Unholy Family (Lestat, Louis, Claudia) the only united triad; and isolating Louis from Claudia's other interpersonal relationships, to give her more independence/autonomy, as a much older "child"/teenage vampire than she was in the book:

Parent-Child dynamic: Lestat, Louis, Claudia

(surrogate) Parent-Child dynamic: Claudia & Louis

Sibling dynamic: Louis & Claudia

(surrogate Sibling dynamic): Santiago & Claudia

Coven Master & Fledgling dynamic: Claudia & Armand

Romantic dynamic: Claudia & Madeleine

Claudia is aged up not only in years, but experience, especially as she witnesses the brutal spousal abuse of her "favorite" parent, Daddy Lou, at the hands of their much older & much more powerful Coven Master & Maker, Lestat. With Louis dropped 2km from the sky & all of his bones broken so that he can't even walk, Claudia becomes the protector, provider, and "knight in vengeful black" at the door between the the battered Louis and the estranged Uncle Les. She grows up too soon, and becomes Louis' (surrogate) maternal figure during his convalescence.

Claudia emancipates herself from Massa Lestat's oppression when he returns to 1132, rejecting all illusions that they're still a family where Les would occupy the parental role with any hierarchical/patriarchal authority over her:

While she embraces being a loving sibling with Lou, her relationship with Les is all but dead in the water, not even tryna be a "companion/sister" to the monster she's desperate to get far away from; "You should've let that train go, Uncle Les!"

Pissed at Lou that he didn't burn Les' body after her successful Murder Plot, Claudia's fed up even with him; giving him the cold shoulder as they cross Europe, looking for other vampires.

"And the horrors we walked over every night.... They only calcified her determination to find others she could better relate to. And rereading these pages, it's clear she didn't think I qualified any longer.... Louis de Pointe du Lac. Dead weight."

In Romania, she's rejected twice, when she tries bonding with the Revenant; tryna show him how to feed properly (he was still drinking from soldiers after they were dead, ew), like a mother with a child; just as she caught animals to feed the injured Louis. Feral, he just attacked her & walked off.

Daciana also rejected her, refusing to be mother to vampires she didn't create herself, or allow Claudia to become her surrogate child/coven in the Revenant's stead.

Uninterested in teaching Claudia & Louis anything about herself or her experiences/history; Daciana threw herself into the fire & died.

In Paris, she quickly bonds with Santiago, who stands up for her & guides her almost like a big brother against their Coven Master Armand's rules & punishments. She looks up to him as a proud vampire who "kills with panache;" just as she'd been taken with Bruce, "you don't kill like a 'Bruce;'' you kill like a 'Killer.'" In them she thinks/hopes she's finally found kindred spirits.

Armand gives ZERO effs about Claudia, not interested being any familial figure to her. AMC removes his telepathic death threats from the book, and just goes full force on him actively plotting her death in the Trial. (Most radically, he plans to have Louis killed, too). Armand goes right past Wicked Stepfather, and straight to Evil Arsehole; forcing her to wear the Baby LouLou costume everyday & even sleep in it; ordering her to get her "childlike wonder" back, even as he crushed her spirit and disrespected/disregarded her attempt to grow (up) in the coven.

Armand abuses her exactly how Old World Coven Masters/Maitres abuse fledglings: with zero agency/autonomy/freedom, let alone respect; like slaves rather than people/family, like Lou said in 1x2:

FINALLY, Claudia meets Madeleine; the only one who treats her like a person--at first rude & condescending, but gradually bonding with her as she helps Claudia dress more maturely; acknowledges her being worth more than the demeaning Baby Lou Lou role; and who doesn't reject her when Claudia's vampirism is finally revealed. She treats Claudia like the woman she is, not the child she appears as.

Unlike the books, AMC doesn't make Madeleine Claudia's mother-figure; a woman still grieving for her own dead daughter (a la Anne Rice).

In another interesting twist, AMC!Louis AND Claudia turn Madeleine together--they're BOTH her Makers.

But instead of having a typical Parent-Child dynamic, Claudeleine are like Loustat: Lovers. Madeleine is Claudia's love interest, though their romance is largely left off-screen (which IMO defeats the purpose, if they're not gonna SHOW or barely TELL US that Claudeleine are lesbian vampire companions). But they're also EQUALS, in a way Loustat never was.

With Madeleine, Claudia finally fully matures--she makes dresses for Claudia that tastefully show her cleavage, with jewelry and light makeup, but still youthful & sweet & bright; always dressed in Sunshine Yellow--a spark in the dark.

[mariacallous]

BUENOS AIRES, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Argentina elected libertarian outsider Javier Milei as its new president on Sunday, rolling the dice on an outsider with radical views to fix an economy battered by triple-digit inflation, a looming recession and rising poverty.

Official results have not been released, but his rival, Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa, conceded in a speech. His candidacy was hampered by the country's worst economic crisis in two decades while he has been at the helm.

Milei is pledging economic shock therapy. His plans include shutting the central bank, ditching the peso, and slashing spending, potentially painful reforms that resonated with voters angry at the economic malaise, but sparked fears of austerity in others.

"Milei is the new thing, he's a bit of an unknown and it is a little scary, but it's time to turn over a new page," said 31-year-old restaurant worker Cristian as he voted on Sunday.

But Milei's challenges are enormous. He will have to deal with the empty coffers of the government and central bank, a creaking $44 billion debt program with the International Monetary Fund, inflation nearing 150% and a dizzying array of capital controls.

With many Argentines not fully convinced by either candidate, some had characterized the vote as a choice of the "lesser evil": fear of Milei's painful economic medicine versus anger at Massa and his Peronist party for an economic crisis that has left Argentina deeply in debt and unable to tap global credit markets.

Milei has been particularly popular among the young, who have grown up seeing their country lurch from one crisis to another.

"Our generation is pushing the presidency of Milei to stop our country being a pariah," said Agustina Lista, 22, a student in Buenos Aires.

Milei's win shakes up Argentina's political landscape and economic roadmap, and could impact trade in grains, lithium and hydrocarbons. Milei has criticized China and Brazil, saying he won't deal with "communists," and favors stronger U.S. ties.

The shock rise of the 53-year-old economist and former TV pundit has been the story of the election, breaking the hegemony of the two main political forces on the left and the right - the Peronists and the main Together for Change conservative bloc.

"The election marks a profound rupture in the system of political representation in Argentina," said Julio Burdman, director of the consultancy Observatorio Electoral, ahead of the vote.

Supporters of Massa, 51, an experienced political wheeler-dealer, had sought to appeal to voter fears about Milei's volatile character and "chainsaw" plan to cut back the size of the state.

"Milei's policies scare me," teacher Susana Martinez, 42, said on Sunday after she voted for Massa.

Milei is also staunchly anti-abortion, favors looser gun laws and has called Argentine Pope Francis a socialist "son of a bitch". He used to carry a chainsaw in a symbol of his planned cuts but shelved it in recent weeks to help boost his moderate image.

After October's first-round vote, Milei struck an uneasy alliance with the conservatives, which boosted his support. But he faces a highly fragmented Congress, with no single bloc having a majority, meaning that he will need to get backing from other factions to push through legislation. Milei's coalition also does not have any regional governors or mayors.

That may temper some of his more radical proposals. Long-suffering voters are likely to have little patience, and the threat of social unrest is never far below the surface.

His backers say only he can uproot the political status quo and economic malaise that has dogged South America's second-largest economy for years.

"Milei is the only viable option so we do not end up in misery," said Santiago Neria, a 34-year-old accountant.

‘El Loco’ wins landslide victory in Argentina that experts say shows scale of frustration with Peronist status quo

Luminaries of the global far right are in raptures over Javier Milei’s thumping election victory in Argentina which experts predict will turn Buenos Aires into a new stomping ground for the populist radical right.

Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro led the merrymaking after their Argentinian ally trounced his rival, the Peronist finance minister Sergio Massa, by nearly 3 million votes in Sunday’s presidential election. The former US president predicted Milei would “truly make Argentina great again” while Brazil’s ex-president applauded a victory for “honesty, progress and freedom”.

Bolsonarista and Mileísta activists predicted Milei’s win would be the first in a trio of rightwing conquests that would see Trump and Bolsonaro reclaim power in 2024 and 2026.

In his first post-victory interview on Monday, Milei announced he would travel to the US and Israel – where he has promised to move Argentina’s embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem – before being sworn in on 10 December, alongside his ultra-conservative vice-president elect Victoria Villarruel.

Bolsonaro announced he would attend Milei’s inauguration in Buenos Aires and posted footage of a pally video call with Argentina’s president-elect. “I’m really happy,” Bolsonaro told the radical libertarian economist. “You have a big job ahead of you … and it’s a job that goes beyond Argentina,” Brazil’s former leader added. “Gracias!” Milei replied.

Unlike Bolsonaro, a professional politician who posed as an anti-establishment outsider to win power in 2018, Milei is a genuine newcomer to the world of politics. Born in Buenos Aires in 1970, he played in a Rolling Stones cover band and found fame as a foul-mouthed economic pundit on Argentinian television before being elected to congress in 2021 for his libertarian party Libertad Avanza (Freedom Advances). Milei’s mercurial personality, expletive-ridden onscreen outbursts and Britpop-style hairdo have cemented his reputation as ‘El Loco’ (The Madman).

From Bogotá and Santiago to Lisbon and Madrid, other ultra-conservative figures voiced delight at Milei’s landslide victory over the centrist Massa, by 14.47m to 11.51m votes.

André Ventura, the leader of Portugal’s far-right Chega! (Enough!), celebrated Milei’s “struggle to defend society” and Matteo Salvini, the leader of Italy’s far-right League, sent his congratulations. Santiago Abascal, the leader of Spain’s far-right party Vox, said Milei had opened “a path of future and hope … for Argentines and all of Latin America”.

Hungary’s president Katalin Novák congratulated Milei on a “great victory”.In South America, the Chilean ultra-conservative politician José Antonio Kast congratulated Milei for his “resounding triumph”, writing: “The reconstruction of Argentina starts now”.

The Colombian senator María Fernanda Cabal called Milei’s victory a victory for “sanity, common sense [and] the hope of a rebirth for Argentina”. “Once again Latin America’s depredating left has been defeated.”

Idea for a scene from a Fairly OddParents/FNAF fanfic I haven't written yet

Although this is better described as Game/Film/Food/Style Theory fanfiction more than anything.

(This takes place years after FOP, so Timmy is an adult when this scene takes place.)

Tom Robinson: Game Theory William

Forrest Lee: Film Theory Michael

Santiago "Santi" Massa: Food Theory Jeremy

Amy Roberts: Style Theory Cass

MatPat Ness

Enjoy whatever this is:

Sparky’s Diner

It was a slow time at Sparky’s Diner. Not unexpected or anything. After the lunch rush, 

but Jeremy knew that the dinner rush would come eventually. Until then, there were a couple customers, who had been patiently awaiting their orders. Jeremy spatulated two eggs on the plate next to the freshly toasted bread, and added the exotic butter on top of the pancakes, then he took a couple red plaid napkins under the plates and carried the two dishes to the customers at the booth.

“Oh it's just such a shame Ness left this place.” The woman at the booth said.

“Yeah. You’re just not the same.” the man sitting across from her said to Jeremy.

“What?” Jeremy said. He was pretty sure he knew what this was about, but would check out of politeness and a desire for tips.

“Ness! He was so good with the customers, and the food.” The woman said.

Jeremy's blood boiled.

“It’s such a shame he’s no longer with us.” the man said, almost tearing up.

“Stop telling people I'm dead!” A voice came from the back room.

“Sometimes, I can still hear his voice!” the man said, wiping a nonexistent tear from his cheek.

“Yeah… so Ness still works here. He’s just the manager in the back office.” Jeremy said.

“Yeah, but he doesn’t cook the food anymore.” the woman said.

“Or serve it!” the man added.

“He typically wasn’t the only cook in the kitchen, and he still serves a lot on busy days.” Jeremy corrected.

The couple didn’t respond but rolled their eyes before starting on their food. Jeremy walked away to join his coworkers at the bar. William was drying dishes while chatting with Michael, who was taking this slow time to sit on the wrong side of the bar.

“Yeah, I just don't get it! Why?” Will was saying to Mike. 

“What don't you get?” Jeremy asked.

“Tim quit!” Mike said. “Yesterday he told Ness he had to take this security gig on the graveyard shift.”

Timothy had left?! This was a surprise. He had been a Sparky’s employee longer than Jeremy. 

“and we had just taught him how to make a conspiracy board!” Will said.

Jeremy remembered that from last week. Will, Micheal, and Ness had built a whole conspiracy board about how to make conspiracy boards. Tim had seemed… confused, to be honest. Jeremy couldn't blame him, most of the theories didn't even turn out true, much less make sense. 

“Wall-E cannibalism?” Tim had said to Ness, “you know that's a kids movie, right?”

The point wasn't to be true to canon though, it was to have fun making kids' media dark and melo-dramatic.

A little bell rang as Cass came in for her shift.

“Hey guys, sorry I'm late!” Cassidy said, holding her folded up uniform as she ran to the back to change. 

“No worries, Cass. It is dead right now.” Jeremy called after her.

He briefly looked over at the couple sitting at the table, hoping they hadn't just heard him say that. Oh well there he look, they were both staring right at him. Glaring. Jeremy probably shouldn't have said that. Whoops.

“Er, except for you two.” He corrected himself. 

Cassie came back to the front, still adjusting her uniform.

“You hear about Tim?” Jeremy asked her. 

“What? No?” Cass answered, eyebrows furrowed.

“He quit!” Mike explained. “No ill will or anything, he just wanted to do this other job really bad.”

“Yeah but it's a worse job!” Will said. “Nighttime security at Freddy's!”

“Freddy's?” Cass said. 

“Isn't that that old kids’ pizza place?” Jeremy said. 

“I thought that place closed down?” Cass said. 

“It did!” Mike said. “Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Diner. Closed in the 80s.”

“Three kids went missing, and they never found the bodies!” Will said “I seriously think that place is haunted! I'm surprised there's even still a building to guard. It's burned down so many times!”

“You think it's insurance fraud?” Mike said. 

“It's at least insurance fraud! Didn't the owner die in one of those fires?” William said.

“Wait, so who's paying Tim then?” Cass asked. 

“Nobody knows!” Mike answered.

“I never liked the food there.” Jeremey said. “Pizza was bad, just no care put into it.”

“Hey, did you go there as a kid too?” Cass asked, face lighting up in nostalgia.

“Yeah, it was fun!” Jeremey said. “I liked the animatronics. My favorite was Chica.”

“Mine was probably Bonnie.” Cass said.

“I always liked Foxy.” Mike said.

They all turned to William, awaiting his response.

Will raised an eyebrow. “I’m not from America.” 

Everyone had an oh, right… moment as they heard his British accent.

“Also,” Will said with a chuckle “no one liked Freddy at the Freddy’s Diner?”

“I did!” came the familiar voice of Ness yelling from the backroom.

End of scene.

1 aug San Esteves-Musha 14,51km

Jag vaknade tidigt men fick försöka somna om, meningslöst att gå före 7 så härbärget jag siktade mot inte öppnade förrän 13.

Jag packade i alla fall ihop mina grejer och när jag kom ner i köket så satt Marius där. Det var ett trevligt möte. Han frågade lite om Finisterre. Han hade gått kustvägen, grön rutt, lite jävligare en gul. Berättade att det var en ganska enkel tur för honom med mycket ner för.

Grön rutt finns inte i buen Camino appen. Den får man söka på annat håll. Det finns massor med varianter som korsar varandra.

Det som skulle gå till Musha senare idag hade lämnat sina små resväskor i receptionen . De går utan ryggsäck de fingår bara mellan Santiago och Finisterre samt vissa går till Musha sen tar de tydligen taxi ifrån Musha till Santiago 

Det var även dimmigt idag men varmare än igår ca 25 grader. 

Början av dagen gick igenom eukalyptus skogar på smala grusvägar o en o annan bro.

Vid Morquentian fick jag stark kramp i ländryggen det var inte skönt och jag blev faktiskt lite skraj satte mig ner och vilade en stund. 

Som tur var så fanns det en liten bar längre fram.

Det fick bli frukost där.

Det var skönt att sitta en stund. Två kanadensare kom in, de kommer från Musha och sa att "Du har ungefär två timmar kvar "

De skulle till Finisterre, jag sa, ni har ungefär 2 timmar kvar, o log...

Jag bytte till en torr tröja och fortsatte.

Under tiden jag satt på cafét såg jag ingen som skulle gå samma väg som jag, alla kom från Musha, likadant när jag gick sån mötte jag många men jag tittade bakåt på rakorna  såg jag ingen.

Mötte en kalifornisk pappa med två äldre söner han hade övertalat den att gå, men han lyckades inte få med sin fru men hoppades på nästa år.

Tipsade honom om cafét jag precis hade stannat på han blev glad och fick lite mer motivation då han inte hade förväntat sig något Café före San Estevan.

Bara någon kilometer senare kom ytterligare två amerikaner, jag tipsade om samma bar.  De visste inte heller att det fanns någon bar där. Kul att ge motivation, då de hade haft mycket uppför.

Med dem inräknat har jag mött ett 50-tal personer nu och klockan är strax efter elva där också börjat klarna upp lite

Man kan känna det på att det blir varmare samt se det genom att det inte finns någon mer dimma på låg höjd. 

Det var härligt att komma ner till havet igen och höra vågornas lå mot stranden kännaren havsdoft som spred sig över landskapet.

Det hände nåt med vinden och molnen ändrade plötsligt form.

Jag gick ner och satte mig vid strandkanten. 

Stranden  bestod av stora stenar men vad gjorde det, det härliga ljudet från vågorna  gjorde att mina tankar fick mer rum. Vågbruset störde ut min tinnitus alldeles perfekt. jätteskönt. Kände av ryggen också och det var som den visste att det var slut nu. 

Precis innan jag skulle sätta mig så började det dugga lite grann Jag trodde det skulle bli kraftigare regn så jag plockade fram ponchon och lagom när jag hade plockat fram den, så slutade det, så det var bara att stoppa ner ponchon igen, ha ha.

 Tack för det sa jag högt för mig själv.

Det växte nån konstig blomma bland stenarna.

Flera större fiskebåtar passerade ut med kusten Jag tittade på kartan och insåg att det inte fanns något därute före Grönland, bara en massa vatten.

 Passande på att spela in lite vågbrus. Det kan vara bra att ha om det är svårt att sova. Jag lyssnar hellre på vågbrus en snarkningar.

Trots att inte solen kunde bryta genom helt ännu var ändå skönt att sitta här på stenarna.

Jag satt en bra stund och hade bra utsikt över vägen vid sidan om, men ingen gick åt mitt håll, bara åt andra hållet. Nu var det nog 20 till som gått mot Finisterre.

När jag kom fram till Alberquet vid 12:15 så satt en fransk tjej före mig. Det öppnade 13 som sagt, så det var bara att vänta. Hon hade åkt buss från Finisterre..och skulle som så många andra jag mött, åka till Porto o börja om?

Det kom indroppandes några st bakom oss och köade i gathörnen, där det gick att sitta. 

När hospitaleron öppnade så visar det sig att fransyskan inte hade rätt stämplar i passet. Hon hade glömt att stämpla i Finisterre innan hon satte sig på bussen.. Statliga boenden kräver att man har rätt stämplar för att få bo. Endast pilgrimer med rätt stämplar får bo där. Men det är faktiskt det första stället jag har varit med att man kollar så noga. I Finisterre var man tvungen att visa "passet" då endast. På kvällen var det 6 tomma sängar, om hon bara kunde fått vänta lite?

Stod i varm dusch länge, det var gött för en trött rygg.

Frågade om man fick stanna 2 nätter, men se det gick inte. 

En natt o så sen UT, även om det fanns tomma sängar. De stänger kl 22 också, så ingen solnedgång vid fyren för de som bor här. Så det fick bli en nedgång, på takterrassen.

Jag handlade och sökte sen upp turistinfo och fick mitt bevis att jag gått. Sen hem o äta. Som vanligt fanns det inga redskap, men jag fick på nåder låna en skål av hospitaleron.

Det var onödigt stort härbärge mot nyttjad yta. 3 plan.

Jag fick också ett tips idag att om man tar engelska ord som slutar på vissa ändelser, kan man enkelt göra om dem till spanska.

Det vill säga byt:

Ity mot cidad 

ex University-univercidad

tion mot cion 

ex communication-communicacion

ate mot ar 

ex communicate- communicar.

Testa själv....

Kvällen tillbringade jag på takterrassen ihop med en fransk kvinna från Bordeaux sen kom ett par från Portugal. Lite kul med kvinnan från Portugal, hon tyckte att vi hade bra krimförfattare, hon hade läst allt av Läckberg och Kepler.

Alla stora moln var som bortblåsta 😆

Får se hur jag gör i morgon...

O Governo do Paraná segue prestando o apoio ao Rio Grande do Sul com o envio de equipes e mantimentos para atender as vítimas das chuvas que atingiram a região. Neste domingo (19), uma equipe do Corpo de Bombeiros composta por três bombeiros e dois cães embarcou com destino à região serrana do Vale do Taquari onde foram registrados deslizamentos de terra. Os binômios, que é como são chamadas as duplas compostas pelo cão e pelo bombeiro, vão trabalhar na busca por pessoas desaparecidas em algumas das áreas mais afetadas pelas chuvas. “São áreas onde a água já baixou, mas há muita lama, terra e escombros. Os animais têm a mobilidade necessária de se deslocar com mais facilidade por este terreno e de identificar, pelo odor, onde há vítimas”, afirmou o comandante do Canil Central do Corpo de Bombeiros, tenente Daniel Kaneko Leal. Eva e Skull, os dois cães enviados, são treinados desde filhotes para fazer este tipo de busca. Os dois também contam com as certificações necessárias para atuar em desastres com deslizamento de terra. Atualmente, o Corpo de Bombeiros do Paraná tem seis animais treinados e certificados para este tipo de ocorrência. “São animais que trabalham em dupla com seus condutores. Eles têm um vínculo muito forte, que ajuda neste tipo de trabalho tenso e difícil. São animais que já passaram por várias provas e testes para se preparar pra este tipo de busca. Com toda a certeza eles vão ajudar muito nas buscas pelo treinamento que têm e pela capacidade olfativa”, explicou o comandante. A previsão é que a equipe fique no Rio Grande do Sul cerca de uma semana. Caso seja necessário continuar com os trabalhos, deve haver um revezamento dos binômios do Paraná. “Depois de um tempo, estes animais precisam voltar para descansar. Mas conforme for necessário, enviaremos novos binômios para seguir nas buscas”, disse. INTERNADOS – O mesmo avião da Casa Militar que levou os bombeiros também estava carregado com três kits de nutrição parenteral (NPT), uma espécie de alimentação em soro para pessoas internadas. Dois dos kits com bolsas de soro têm como destino pacientes que estão na Santa Casa de Alegrete e outra caixa de suplemento será enviada até a cidade de Santiago. AJUDA – O Paraná tem prestado apoio às cidades gaúchas com o envio de forças de segurança, equipamentos e alimentos. Além de dezenas de bombeiros para trabalhar nos resgates, foram enviados policiais militares para ajudar a coibir roubos e saques nos locais mais afetados, policiais civis para apoiar as autoridades locais e profissionais da Polícia Científica. Por meio da Coordenadoria da Defesa Civil, já foram enviados mais de 8 mil toneladas de alimentos e mantimentos arrecadados pela campanha SOS RS, liderada pela primeira-dama Luciana Saito Massa. O Governo do Estado enviou também viaturas, caminhões-tanque, embarcações e helicópteros para o Rio Grande do Sul, que estão sendo usados em diversas frentes de trabalho, além de bolsas de sangue, medicamentos, profissionais de outras áreas. BALANÇO – De acordo com o governo do Rio Grande do Sul, 463 municípios gaúchos tiveram estragos registrados decorrentes das chuvas. Segundo o boletim divulgado pelo governo gaúcho neste domingo, 76.955 pessoas estão em abrigos e 540.633 estão desalojadas. Ao todo, 155 pessoas morreram, 89 estão desaparecidas e 806 se feriram.

Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine - New York, NY 

BY: @calatravaofficial @dlr_group @stnicholaswtc @thorntontomasetti @SkanskaUSA

A Igreja Ortodoxa Grega de São Nicolau original foi completamente destruída no colapso da Torre 2 do World Trade Center durante os ataques terroristas de 11 de setembro de 2001. Após extensas negociações com a Autoridade Portuária de Nova York e Nova Jersey, a Arquidiocese Ortodoxa Grega da América recebeu permissão para construir uma nova Igreja de São Nicolau no extremo leste do novo Liberty Park, acima do Centro de Segurança de Veículos do World Trade Center.

Restrições do site incluídas:

- A localização, área ocupada e volume da Igreja foram fixados diretamente acima do Centro de Segurança de Veículos do World Trade Center, dentro do Liberty Park. Não são permitidas modificações no espaço abaixo dos ‘limites definidos’ da Igreja

- A estrutura deve ser construída sobre uma 'tapete' de concreto de 4 pés de espessura que a Autoridade Portuária fornecerá, e deve estar em conformidade com as suposições de carga da 'tapete'

- Os serviços públicos serão fornecidos no local e não poderão ser realocados;

- O projeto deverá incorporar um poço de ventilação planejado dentro da área do edifício.

A igreja está situada a aproximadamente sete metros acima do nível da rua, o que a eleva ligeiramente acima da copa dos carvalhos do Memorial do World Trade Center. Mortalha em pedra, é inteiramente apropriado que a igreja, único edifício não secular no local reconstruído, ocupe esta posição elevada. Como tal, será um farol espiritual de esperança e renascimento para a congregação e para a cidade através das centenas de milhares de visitantes que passarão pelo local reconstruído do World Trade Center.

' O desenho da igreja deve respeitar as tradições e a liturgia da Igreja Ortodoxa Grega, mas ao mesmo tempo deve reflectir o facto de que vivemos no século XXI. 'Sua Eminência, o Arcebispo Demetrios.

Em resposta a este desafio, Santiago Calatrava decidiu fornecer um edifício e uma sequência de espaços que abordassem diretamente a liturgia tradicional grega, ao mesmo tempo que criavam uma procissão arquitetónica espacialmente variada.

O exterior da igreja é composto por quatro torres maciças revestidas de pedra que definem uma planta quadrada. Um círculo inscrito dentro do quadrado consiste em um tambor e uma cúpula construída em seu exterior com finos painéis laminados de pedra/vidro que são iluminados por trás. À noite, todo o sistema de paredes cortina de pedra brilha em contraponto à massa sólida das torres. A pele do tambor e da cúpula, formada como um material aparentemente monolítico, é dividida em quarenta painéis facetados em reconhecimento às 40 janelas da cúpula de Hagia Sophia. Quarenta águas-furtadas, embora claramente expressas, estão perfeitamente integradas na composição tridimensional.

As torres de canto são revestidas com grandes e pequenas faixas horizontais alternadas de mármore branco e cinza que lembram a Igreja do Santo Salvador em Chora, Turquia. Espaços programáticos adicionais e circulação vertical estão alojados em uma extensão das duas torres ocidentais; cujo revestimento utiliza as mesmas faixas alternadas de mármore branco e cinza. Na fachada oeste da igreja, uma cortina facetada de construção semelhante à cúpula exterior ilumina os espaços de luto e comunitários localizados nos níveis superiores da igreja.

A sequência tradicional de espaços litúrgicos começa em uma grande praça aberta a oeste da igreja e prossegue através do Pórtico, Exonarthex, Narthex e na Nave da igreja, culminando na Iconóstase e no Santuário. A partir da praça, que reproduz a dimensão e a forma geral da Nave de São Nicolau, a entrada na igreja faz-se através de um arco baixo que se estende entre as torres de escada redonda da fachada poente. O arco forma um pórtico protegido com aproximadamente 2,5 metros de profundidade na frente das portas de entrada que se abrem para o Exonarthex.

O Exonarthex tem a dupla função de preparar a entrada no espaço de culto da igreja, ao mesmo tempo que proporciona um espaço solene e não denominacional para o público. Historicamente, o Exonártex era um espaço utilizado pelos catecúmenos, ou não batizados, que não tinham permissão para entrar no espaço sagrado da Nave. Em São Nicolau, devido à escala restrita da igreja, o Exonártex funde-se com o Nártex para formar um único espaço contíguo que circunscreve a Nave. Abriga uma loja que controla a entrada e presta assistência e informação aos visitantes, além de ligação aos níveis superiores da igreja. Salas de velas circulares localizadas lateralmente ao Narthex abrigam espaços não denominacionais onde paroquianos e visitantes podem meditar ou rezar em memória de seus entes queridos.

A partir do Nártex a entrada na Nave faz-se pelas “Portas Reais”, que no caso de São Nicolau são um par de portas de correr translúcidas. Tomando como modelos a Igreja da Rotunda de Salónica e a Hagia Sophia, a nave da igreja situa-se sob o vão abrangente de uma cúpula central; no centro da qual está a Imagem de Cristo (Pantocrator), Governante do Universo. Os recessos axiais norte e sul, ou nichos, são marcados por janelas em arco translúcidas divididas por montantes formando uma cruz. Pequenas mesas Icona e ofertórios acentuam os nichos. O recesso nascente elimina a janela em arco para que a iconografia acima do altar se desenvolva como uma imagem singular.

A Iconostase, uma longa tela baixa que separa a Nave do Altar, estende-se pela extremidade leste da Nave para abranger toda a amplitude de visão que um paroquiano ou visitante pode ter ao entrar. Além da Iconóstase está o Santuário que abriga o Altar. Este é o culminar da procissão litúrgica e, na tradição da Igreja Ortodoxa Grega, o acesso é reservado apenas aos sacerdotes.

A cúpula é separada do tambor da Nave e apoiada visualmente em quatro colunas independentes. Quarenta nervuras acentuam quarenta janelas em cúpula que correspondem às águas-furtadas exteriores. As costelas convergem para um disco central que possui uma abertura circular menor no centro. A luz natural, escondida pelo disco, ilumina o Pantocrator no ápice da cúpula, bem como o anel dos vinte profetas que se alternam entre as costelas da cúpula.

Os dois espaços não litúrgicos situados na parte oeste do edifício da cúpula são as salas de luto e de comunidade. A Sala de Luto, localizada no nível acima do Narthex, abre-se para vistas ocidentais do Liberty Park e do WTC Memorial através do véu de painéis de pedra/vidro laminados. Dois pequenos escritórios neste nível possuem janelas que permitem vistas do Memorial e do Liberty Park. A Sala de Reuniões é um amplo espaço aberto ao uso da comunidade local para reuniões e outras atividades. É iluminada através dos painéis de pedra laminada/vidro da fachada poente. Estas salas são uma componente significativa do programa do edifício e resultam das negociações entre a Arquidiocese e a Capitania dos Portos. Eles acentuam o relacionamento aberto e positivo da igreja com o grande local do Memorial do World Trade Center, bem como com a comunidade de Lower Manhattan.

Claudia's Celebration of Life: Spark in the Dark - The Actress (Delainey)

As the title suggests, this event is to celebrate the wonderful Claudia; her personality, her aspirations, her journey. The heart for the past two seasons of AMC Interview with The Vampire. This is to take the narrative back to her, proving she's not just a shingle roof for us. 10. Aug 29th & 30th: The Actress (Delainey Hayles)

All of our different Claudias over the decades are iconic; she's a goated character, no matter what. But I absolutely love Delainey.

Claudia in S2 was a completely different beast; and just SO good to follow as she inevitably careened towards her inevitable doom. U_U Delainey perfectly delivered the raw pain Claudia was going through, not just in Paris, but her entire life:

Her frustration was palpable, trapped in her underdeveloped body, and how everyone infantalized her; to her resentment towards Louis and the "stormy romance of YOU TWO!," just sick & effing tired of Loustat & and the mess they put her in by making her. (It's not that she should've never been born--"you are a mistake!"--it's that LOUSTAT should've never raised her; they were unworthy of HER, not the other way around. 😤)

Ofc, Louis (& Jonah) going to Europe is a nod to the IRL Black Exodus of African Americans fleeing the racist homophobic "land of the free" and settling in France, etc. where it was (relatively) safer. But we don't talk enough about Claudia's racial perspective, and how Europe was idealized in HER head.

Her life in America was awful, rock bottom, and she thought it just HAD to be better overseas; that nothing & no one could be worse than "Lestat, Antoinette, the motherf***er, and YOU!" Life has never been easy for her; and she got NOTHING out of vampirism.

Even as a high-yellow racially ambiguous Black girl, Bailey's Claudia was STILL subjected to a barrage of racism in Jim Crow America (2 incidents with white cops calling her a devil & busting into her room on some Breonna Taylor mess; the racist white wenches calling her a "Darkie;" the other racist white wench calling her a "Swamp" Thing; letterman jacket George Zimmerman who wouldn't let her in the college; Bruce raping her after macroaggressively telling her to read a book about (white woman) etiquette; and Tom Anderson's "two-toned daddies" jibe at her being mixed-race). And ofc, her remarks that she & Lou are Massa Lestat's "slaves."

Delainey's Claudia in S2 is VERY candid about race & colorism. She's hyperaware of Louis' privilege as a lighter-skinned Creole Black man, now that both she AND Armand are darker-skinned than Louis/JA, (since she's not being played by a lightskinned actress anymore).

I was SO glad she said that. Cuz it points directly to her naivety & desperate hope that skinship = kinship. She thought leaving America meant leaving Bruce/Lestat/abuse/racism behind.

Alas, she swiftly got her Negro-wakeup-call in Europe; as German Nazis & Ukranian/Russian Soviets were barring Black people entry at every checkpoint; and Romanian white kids rudely poked her face, calling her a "cioara/crow" (Romania's N-word for dark-skinned foreigners X X).

Then Claudia & Louis get to Paris (a historical oasis for Black folk fleeing American racism). She hoped/assumed that the racially diverse Theatre coven led by a dark-skinned brown Coven Master meant that she & Lou would be safer & treated better there than they were in Lestat's coven--and America by extension.

So much focus has gone towards Louis' treatment in Trial, and Santiago & Armand's machinations against him; but we don't talk enough about poor Claudia's treatment, and the overtly racist way they treated her as well. She got her ultimate Negro-wakeup-call when the Theatre killed her in front of a laughing live audience, just like white Americans at Black lynchings.

“We got out and walked down the road, and we found a bunch of white men, women and children. There was no sign of terror in their faces. There was nothing but giggles and laughter as the blood dripped from the nose and from the bullet-riddled body of the victim." (Jim Crow Museum, Lynching Picnics)

I've seen dumb AF takes that the Trial wasn't about race, cuz there's Planche, Armand, Tuan & Quang Pham--1 Black man & 3 Asians. But being racially diverse doesn't make it NOT racist, LOL. "I'm not racist, I have 3 Bipoc friends~! This company's not racist, we hired 2 Bipocs! This country's not racist, we have a half-Black president!" 🙄 Euro-America's racist AF, and they've got PLENTY of minorities. Just look at the UK riots that've been happening all summer, DUH!

Regardless of how many Bipocs are in the coven, it's Black people who're still the ones being exploited & oppressed (Baby Lou Lou), and the ones Santiago wanted dead the most (Claudia & Louis). Lestat openly admitted to breaking Rule #2 and that he should be punished too, but they told him to STFU & stick to the script--STAY ON CODE, and reap the benefits of white privilege. (ONLY Madeleine was offered a get-out-of-jail seat in the coven. But when she rejected Santiago's coven & proudly declared "My coven is Claudia," she got the "Race Traitor" treatment when she chose to die with her Black lover--as we've seen historically (X X X) and even currently.)

(Also, your own people can betray you & sell you out, just to please white folk on the winning side. Planche was giddy as he stuffed Louis in that vault & carved his name on the door--why would he--the token Negro--go against the coven? 🙄😒)

As dark-skinned as he is, Armand never GAF about Claudia, "tell her she's beautiful." The coven painted Lou as a Black thug & sexual predator, but they depicted Claudia as a hideous MONSTER:

"You ain't a girl, you a DEVIL!"

Tuan drew her that way, but ARMAND told Tuan what to draw, to make Louis & Claudia look as BAD as possible: GUILTY! DEATH!

Armand never had an ounce of regard, respect, or faith in Claudia.

Armand's physical abuse stands out, too.

It was bad enough when Loustat did it in S1, but just look at this SIZE difference--how dang TINY Delainey is, compared to Assad! 😩

Look how much she had to struggle to drink from that dude at the mansion--she's barely tall enough to reach his neck with him leaning back! XD

(Claudia's so dang adorable--even when she's being a total terror, lol.)

Delainey's casting just nails it--she's so effing SMALL & baby-faced, but her voice is HUGE; she hollers up a storm every episode telling these dumb vamps off about themselves. She has a raspiness that IIRC Delainey herself said is supposed to sound like an old woman chainsmoking cigarettes, just fed up as no one picks her, loves her, or even believes her or believes in her: the sheer embodiment of being a Black woman in the Western world--Old (Europe) or New (America).

Delainey was amazing all season, doing all those languages, simping for the Theatre, singing & dancing, telling Louis like it is, being so sweet with Madeleine, and reliving the trauma of what Bruce did to her.

She didn't take Bailey's cold hard steel approach; sharp as the edge of Louis' blade; an impenetrable fortress so that Lestat can't see her vulnerability & crack/break her. Instead, Delainey's take was soft and warm. She's child-like in her naivety around the Theatre, and determination to see herself as one of them & conform, just as Louis had to conform his whole life in NOLA.

Ofc, she learns otherwise when they turned her into a minstrel show, and killed the joy out of her.

She gets hotter & hotter until she finally boils over. Delainey's my favorite during the Trial (Ep7's my fave episode in S2). The Trial's such a massive moment, and I was so hyped to finally see it on screen for the first time ever (the film skips it, and in the book it's short & choppy since Loustat were both falling in & out of consciousness and didn't really remember wtf had happened). My heart was in my effing stomach when she got up and started tearing Lestat a new arsehole.

Delainey 100% sold me on how much AGONY Claudia must've been in, on her feet like that, determined & STRONG enough to stand up and defend herself, since no one else would/could. I was right there with her the whole time, like wtf, ohhhh I was PIIIIIIISED.

And this LOOK she gave Lestat when she was done!?!

Tired, but resolute & SMUG/satisfied all in one. She purses her lips & raises her brow like: kiss my whole entire 14-year old Black arse; I did more in 2 minutes than you've done in 200 years, CLOWN.

Best thing he ever did for her was let her CURSE y'all! Enjoy being effing haunted in Season 3, Lestat! 😜👻👻👻

So I PRAY Rolin does justice to Delainey's Claudia in whatever S3 holds for her. I DEMAND to see ghost!Claudia come back with a vengeance! The queen said she has unfinished business! 👸🏾😈
