In 1969, the Latino students of Crystal City, TX, staged a school walkout that sparked a revolution and changed history. The story inspired the play “Crystal City 1969” by Latinx theater company, Cara Mía Theatre.

Dulé Hill arrives in Dallas, Texas to learn more about the Cara Mía Theatre production, “Crystal City 1969.” The play was inspired by events that took place in the town of Crystal City, Texas in 1969. At that time, the town had a majority Chicano population, yet public school students faced discrimination in class, and were corporally punished for speaking Spanish. One of the students, Severita Lara, was beaten and suspended for passing out leaflets about Latino students’ unfair treatment. Meanwhile, the Mexican American Youth Organization (MAYO), began organizing school protests across the country in the spirit of civil rights. José Angel Gutiérrez, born and raised in Crystal City, was sent back to his hometown by MAYO to organize the students for protest.

The students’ activism sparked a revolution in Crystal City, and changed the political landscape in the town. They organized a school walkout that called for the right to speak Spanish, along with 17 other demands for equality and fairness. The students’ activism eventually brought them to Washington, DC, and inspired more Latinos to run for city government and the school board in Crystal City. In the end, all the students’ demands were met in a sweeping victory.

Why 80 severita, wee all have issues man,

[ballata]

Dal romanzo "Gli audaci" ad ottobre con L'erudita editore... E già, Camilla è nata in un periodo difficile dove la pandemia ha portato un ulteriore peso ad una situazione già pesantemente esacerbata di suo. I microbi che combattiamo – non sono solo questi al microscopio che cerchiamo freneticamente per controbattere al virus – ma ce ne sono di molto più grandi, simili a noi, bipedi che infettano la nostra quotidianità con le loro spavalde truffe e malvagità.

From the novel "Gli audaci", published in October by L'erudita editore... And yes, Camilla was born in a difficult period where the pandemic has brought a further burden to a situation already heavily exacerbated by itself. The microbes we fight - it is not only these under the microscope that we frantically search for to counteract the virus - but there are much larger ones, similar to us, bipeds that infect our daily lives with their swaggering deceit and wickedness.

Ночной Анализ VI

“Лучше направь эту энергию на творчество“, - фраза прозвучала словно звонкая пощечина в полнейшей тишине, заставляя мгновенно очнутся от сумбура эмоций и мыслей. Хотя в реальности в этот момент громыхала музыка и не смолкали разговоры окружающих, в моем сознании время будто остановилось и все стало вдруг особенно четким. Редко когда удается запомнить кем-то сказанные слова, если они только не записаны на бумаге, но эта фраза будто влепилась в мозг, звонко пульсирая и отдаваясь эхом в глубь сознания. 

Зачем тратить энергию на что-то, что этого не стоит? Вот так вроде бы двигаешься дальше, особо не думаешь об утекшей воде, пребываешь в уверенности, что тебе все равно и ты не держишь зла, пока жизнь не сталкивает тебя лицом к лицу с предметом твоего негодования. Кто бы мог подумать, что процесс прощения намного длительнее, чем казалось ранее? На самом деле, стоит лишь принять решение и сделать решительный шаг, дабы выкинуть все лишнее из своего сердца. Я же лишь просто держусь за пакет воспоминаний, придавая ему несуществующую ценность. Пора просто взять и выкинуть этот пакет туда, где ему самое место. А то получается, что на словах я приняла решение, а на деле все так же колеблюсь. 

Столько всего прекрасного вокруг! Столько работы и людей, в которых надо вкладывать и инвестировать, а я просто распыляю свою энергию на какие-то глупые переживания. Осознание сего факта заствляет почувствовать всю сумбурность ситуации и переосмыслить свою позицию более тщательным образом. 

Если мы позволяем каким-то событиям из прошлого, диктовать нам наше самочувствие и поведение сегодня, то значит что-то срочно нужно поменять в своем сердце и сознании. 

Сейчас я особенно четко понимаю, что более зрелые люди были правы, говоря, что неправильно позвлять кому-то проявлять ко мне интерес и ухаживания, когда во мне все еще идет процесс восстановления от всех ошибок прошлого. Я очень рада, что в кои-то веки смогла остановить человека и себя от такой большой ошибки, и остаться верной своему обещанию посвятить этот год себе и другим людям, а не отношениям. Конечно же, легче всего глушить прошлое новым человеком, но это ни есть правильно, ибо лучшее исцеление - это встретиться лицом к лицу со всеми внутренними проблемами и дать им наконец тебя покинуть.

Анализируя, можно прийти к выводу, что такое состояние, как тем вечером, позволяет хотя бы на какое-то мгновение не жить в 10D, когда твой мозг замечает каждую мелкую деать окружающего мира и обдумывает сразу 10 задач за 1 секунду. В такие моменты, мозг и все органы чувств могут сфокусироваться лишь на чем-то одном, и кажется, будто по бокам от глаз появляются специальные створки, как у скаковых лошадей, предотвращающие деструкцию. Особенно интересно, что зрение будто бы превращается в линзу 35 мм и все вокруг, кроме того, на чем ты фокусируешься, становится размытым. Но при этом почему-то органы слуха отключаются и по большей части все сливается в некую тишину иногда превращающуюся в ультразвук. Разговорные барьеры почему-то тоже спадают и появляется уверенность в каждом сказанном слове, будь то критика или похвала. Таким образом, можно понять почему было какое-то латентное стремление к такому состоянию, но ведь можно испытывать “свободу” и другими способами. Главное, помнить об этом и не потерять себя.

Hi there! What are some of your favorite HG/SS Fanfic?

This will probably end up being just a list of the ones everyone has heard of already, but hey, they're good! (And you can mine this SS/HG review site for more recs, too.)

Lay me Low by TeddyRadiator : "An AU story of what might have happened, beginning mid-way through The Order Of The Phoenix. Severus' anger at Sirius Black's attempts to seduce Hermione raises questions about his own feelings towards her. The past and the present mesh together in a story of protection, betrayal and trust." (or, what would have happened if Hermione had been on Snape's side the whole time?)

The Noble House of Snape by severita : "Snape has eschewed the wizarding world for almost two decades. He returns to find that the family name has continued on without him."

Sin and Vice by mak5258 : to become a weapon, Hermione travels back in time again and again. It's not a time travel fic, though -- the time turner usage makes her older and WAY more skilled -- thus changing her role in the Order and the war.

Chasing the Sun by Loten : Hermione becomes Snape's Healer. It changes everything. This one is pretty intense but wow, it's an incredible characterization of Snape, and one of my absolute faves.

honey don't feed me, i will come back by nylexa : "There was a faintly surreal, liminal quality to Grimmauld Place, Hermione realized. The windows were shuttered and the clocks were broken, so time seemed slippery and elastic and frankly unnecessary. It was as though they had stepped out of the flow of time and into some other stream of reality, where Harry and Draco were friends and Severus Snape was gentle."

The Lioness Prophecies by amr : Pre-HBP, thus AU. Has quite a Regency flavor -- Snape is a pureblood, and to ensure his legacy and the Order's future, he and Hermione have to marry. (Plus, there's another prophecy.) Hermione kicks ass.

Worth the Wait by aurette : Hermione & Snape end up drunk at the pub (short & funny).

The Poison Garden by turtle_wexler : "Upon finding herself thrown back in time to 1987, Hermione decides to befriend a young Potions Master. He has other ideas."

Pet Project by caeria : Hermione decides that Snape needs someone to help him.

Time Mutable Immutable by grooot : "Hermione Granger is an Unspeakable with the Department of Mysteries working exclusively within the Time Room. Her investigations into a group that worships the long dead Voldemort leads her back many years in the past."

Recapitulation by mundungus42 : "Hermione desperately wants to make a good impression on her son's first serious boyfriend, but when he arrives wearing a dead man's face, she has more questions than simply the young man's intentions toward her son."

Whiteboards by nelliandreph : "Dolohov's curse left Hermione with more than just a scar. When Severus realises that her life is in danger, they start down a path that could change the course of the war."

Snape's Oceans by theolyn : "Who would Severus become without his burden of self-loathing? And how will that Severus react when Ron Weasley's widow comes seeking healing of her own? DH compliant, save for Snape's survival." (this one is gentle, and gorgeous)

One Step Forward, Two Decades Back by corvusdraconis : "a What-if Story. Hermione Granger gets erased due to a badly phrased, vague, and bitter wish....she is Hermione Ankaa Black, sister of Sirius and Regulus Black. Now what is she going to do?" (this one is crackfic, great for a day when you need something strange and funny and super AU)

Hello, if you're able, could you make traitian genders for the Roman virtues of firmitas, gravitas, prudentia, pietas, severitas, and dignitas? Apologies if that is a lot at once, and thank you.

♥ Yknow, I didn’t think to look at the Roman Virtues until you mentioned them! I’ll get to work on them right now! It’s gonna be in two posts most likely due to the plan of 12 flags total xD ♥

cinobalanico (neologismo)

"a guisa di pene di cane"

è probabilmente il più famoso dei neologismi barocchi inventati da Carlo Emilio Gadda nel suo romanzo più famoso: Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana nel passaggio:

...acquistando corso legale, per tal modo, una pseudo-giustizia, una pseudo-severita', o la pseudo-abilitazione a' dittaggi: della quale appaiono essere contrassegni manifesti e l'arroganza della sconsiderata istruttoria, e l'orgasmo cinobalanico dell'antecipato giudizio.

Dal punto di vista strettamente etimologico, il lemma deriva dai due termini greci kinos, "cane", e balanos, pene, membro maschile.

The Noble House of Snape

Snape has eschewed the wizarding world for almost two decades. He returns to find that the family name has continued on without him.

This is one of very few post-canon snape & hermione fics I can roll with. Mostly because the twins are amazing. Sure there were cheesy things but I really really enjoyed it.

E' d'una virilità quasi aggressiva, che disturba, appena diluita dal languore ferino con cui ciondola perfettamente padrone di se', spalle sporgenti e cascanti. 1.90 m. Longilineo, ha lunghe gambe rivestite spesso di pantaloni alla turca, gli enormi stivali sempre impolverati. Contro la rigidita' scontrosa del torace asciutto, ricascano le ampiezze di camicie medievali o tuniche marziali da mercenario. All'austera severita' dei suoi lineamenti, mandibola squadrata e zigomi marcati che esibiscono una combinazione tra noia e sarcasmo, si contrappone la facilita' con cui gli si stagliano le fossette dei sorrisi sghembi, raramente perturbando lo sguardo scurissimo e dal taglio allungato, piu' analitico. Le sue risata sono latrati che graffiano da sotto lo sporgente pomo d'adamo. Tatuaggi sparsi*

Un gran figo, direbbe lui, intento a digrignare le fauci in un sogghigno e gli occhi scuri fissi ad analizzarti; schivo, gli han detto altri - e un gran cogl-, anche. La verita' e' che la voce roca deriva da scarso uso delle corde vocali per pigrizia, non perche' si degni celare misteri; e' anzi piuttosto sfrontato, quando l'indolenza dominante, dell'adolescente che si credeva infinito e ora contempla la vastita' di questo infinito e l'inutilita' conseguenziale della vita, viene scalfita da scaglie di interesse; loquace, addirittura, quando s'intavolano dibattiti alle scacchiere, che siano politica, storia o magia. Predigile i posti alti o sfidare la gravita' nel parkour di Accendi, Aresto Momentum ed Elementali.

THE THEATRE OF POMPEY, Pt 2

The Theatre of Pompey was the first permanent theatrum lapideum in Rome, but not in Italy. During the Samnite period, a large concrete and stone theatre had been built in Pompeii and a second smaller odeon was built after the Roman annexation. In the capitol, however, permanent theatres were proscribed, due to the republic's long-standing doubts about their morality.

In 155 BC, acting on the motion of the consul Scipio Nasica, the senate ordered the demolition of a stone theatre nearing construction in Rome. Velleius Paterculus ascribes this decision to “the exceptional austerity (severitas) of character of the populace" at that time. A new law was also passed, banning seating in temporary wooden theatres erected for religious festivals within the pomerium. According to Valerius Maximus, the new law aimed to protect Roman virilitas, which was fortified by standing and would be diminished by sitting down. This notion was still current two centuries later, when Tacitus condemned the idea of sitting during a theatrical performance as another deplorable Greek habit that would corrupt the morals of Roman youth.

Pompey urgently needed to complete the theatre quickly in order to benefit from the anticipated public support it would engender before he stood for consul again. The senatorial ban was the only real impediment. Tertullian states that Pompey added the Temple of Venus Victrix to the theatre in order to define the building as a temple with a cavea-shaped staircase, and thus skirt the ban on permanent theatres. This semantic ploy allowed the senate to save face while acquiescing to an complete reversal of a long-held policy and avoid a direct confrontation with Pompey. Following the official cues, most Roman writers referred to he building as a temple. The label on the Severan forma urbis, however, emphatically reads THEATRUM.

The seating ban was neutralized by locating Pompeys’s theatre on the Campus Martius, which lay outside the pomerium. There were probably more compelling reasons than respect for the seating ban that motivated Pompey’s choice of locations. Building within the pomerium imposed restrictions: provincial promagistrates and generals lost their imperium, soldiers were immediately demobilized and returned to civilian status, and weapons prohibited in the pomerium. On the other hand, the curia pompeia’s location allowed senators who were proscribed from entering the pomerium to participate in senate business. As a general and the provincial governor who had attained his position of power by military force, Pompey was unlikely to have built a theatre in a zone that would have automatically neutralized his sources of power should he enter it. Thus one can assume that Pompey always intended the build outside the pomerium and that the only real obstacle his project faced was the ban on permanence.

During the senate debate in 155, Scipio Nasaica cited a non-moral reason for banning theatres. Large assemblies of citizens could easily be incited to acts of seditious. This anxiety proved prescient: Pompey had planned to use his theatre as a venue for addressing the public directly, without senatorial interference. Fear the this type of subversive use of a theatre had caused the senate to make the drastic decision to destroy the theatre in 155 BC. There was no thought of resisting Pompey 100 years later.

Pompey’s concluded his architectural campaign to reduce the senate by building the curia in the porticus. Having the senate meet in a building he owned sent a clear message to the Roman world that a new political order was coming into being. The face of the new order, however was neither Pompey, who was assassinated in 48 BC nor his rival, Julius Caesar, who met the same fate in the curia pompeia four years later.

The Theatre of Pompey was considered the principal theatre in Rome and meticulously maintained for centuries. Recognizing its propagandistic value, Augustus and Tiberius carried out extensive renovations. The emperors entertained foreign dignitaries there, who were duly awestruck. Pliny the Elder notes that Nero “covered the theatre of Pompey with gold for one day’s purpose, when he was to display it to Tiridates King of Armenia.”

The theatre outlived the western empire. The Romanized Goths renovated the structure thoroughly for the last time in the early 6th century. As the city’s population declined, it fell into disrepair. Like the Colosseum, it served as a quarry in the dark ages, but enough of the concrete substructure survived for the site to be identified as a theatre in the 12thc. pilgrim's guide to Rome. Much of the marble revetment facing the Cancelleria was taken from the site in the 15th century.

Although virtually nothing of the edifice survives above ground today, its presence is still immediately registered by curvature of Via della Grotta Pinta the Orsini palace that was built on top of its ruins.

So, I said I was going to review Resurrection by John French.

It’s good. Like, ‘I’m kinda annoyed that I bought it a couple weeks after it came out, so now I have to wait longer for the sequel’ levels of good.

It’s a fun Inquisitorial thriller, and while some of the twists are predictable, most of them aren’t. I kept having moments of ‘wait, wHAT?!’ but none of the twists felt implausible.

I also really like the characters. Even with a large cast, they all feel fairly distinct. I love how French leaned hard on the ‘Inquisitorial acolytes are a bunch of weirdoes/sometimes a family is..’ and it’s even more hilarious given that a bunch of the other Inquisitor’s have much more consistent retinues. I have a soft spot for Covenant. And Enna. And Josef. And Severita and Mylasa and Viola and...

tl;dr: Do you like Inquisitorial shenanigans? This is good shenanigans.
