I have updated my database so I won't celebrate her going forward.
Cornel West is 72 today.
Bo Diddley died 17 years ago today.
Morena Baccarin, who is partly African, is 46 today.
Ich muss ein wenig mit meinen Duschgedanken haushalten. Aktuell habe ich nur noch drei auf Halde – und neue lassen sich nicht immer erzwingen. Dafür krame ich hiermit meine gute alte Tagebuchblog-Rubrik “Die Woche” wieder aus und sinniere ein wenig über die letzten sieben Tage. Plusminus.
Fanzinezukunft
Schon deutlich über eine Woche her ist unsere Verlautbarung drüben beim fantastischen Fanzine World of Cosmos, wo ein paar Umbrüche anstehen. Wir versuchen dort unser einstmals gedrucktes #ScienceFiction-Fanzine in digitaler Form am Leben zu erhalten. Dabei ist es gar nicht mal das Problem, das vierteljährliche Heftchen immer voll zu kriegen. Die Handvoll #WoC-Aktiven sind sehr fleißig und beliefern den tapferen Chefredax stets mit zahlreichen Stories und Artikeln. Ernüchternder sind die Reichweite sowie die Reaktionsfreude der Lesendenschaft. Nun hat die damalige Printversion auch in ihren besten Zeiten nie eine größere Auflage als 100 erlebt – eine gewisse Relevanz im Fandom hatte sie dennoch und man tauschte sich in einem umfangreichen Leserbriefteil intensiv aus.
Das hat allerdings nichts mit veränderten Zeiten zu tun. Nichts läge mir ferner als nostalgische Verklärung. Sicherlich gibt es auch heute noch erfolgreiche Fanzines, einige davon dürften sogar den Sprung ins Digitale geschafft haben. Damals wie heute erfordert es schlicht und einfach viel Arbeit und Enthusiasmus, bei der Stange zu bleiben – und je älter man wird, desto mehr Aufgaben muss man unter einen Hut bringen. Die Zukunft bleibt also ungewiss – dennoch schreiten wir mit Zuversicht voran.
Kein Croissant für mich
Vor zwei Wochen habe ich mich ein bisschen darüber geärgert, dass es die Crossposting-App Croissant nur für den doofen Apfel gibt. Auch ich armer kleiner Android hätte gern so eine offenbar sehr elegante Möglichkeit gehabt, gleichzeitig auf #Bluesky, #Mastodon und Threads posten zu können. Naja, man kann nicht alles haben.
Ein Mü Comics
Tatsächlich und wahrhaftig in dieser Woche habe ich in das neue Format des formidablen Comicpodcasts Comicklatsch reingehört. Zu meiner Schande muss ich gestehen, dass ich dem #Podcast von Sandra, Melly und Ariane lange nicht mehr gelauscht habe. Unverzeihlich und unverständlich gleichermaßen, denn “Ein Mü Comics” – so der Titel des neuen Formats – ist eine ganz wunderbare Sache. In gewohnt kompetenter und unterhaltsamer Art und Weise werden sechs sehr interessante #Comics beziehungsweise Comicreihen vorgestellt. Da solltet ihr unbedingt mal reinhören!
So. Und jetzt muss ich zum nächsten Comicladen.

Help spread the word that the Call for Speakers is open for Tech Intersections, an #Oakland #California conference for people who are underrepresented in tech due to both #gender (#women #nonbinary, #genderqueer) and race/ethnicity (#Black, #Latina, #Indigenous, #Filipina, #Vietnamese, etc.)
Und was kommt nach dem Opening? Spätestens das Infrastruktur-Review. Großartiger Einblick in so allerlei und allerhand der vielen feinen OC's. (Operation Centers). Also sowas wie #voc, #poc, #noc, #woc. Aber auch das #cert aka #safeR, der #Himmel für Trolle(?!) darf nicht fehlen. Wie war eigentlich der Name für die Kaffee-Forschungs-Abteilung?
Und ja dazwischen gab's natürlich auch noch über 120 Vorträge, Workshops & mehr. Das gibts noch was in Staffel 22 zu bingen.

Black women are being promoted into leadership positions and then given the near-impossible task of fixing a broken culture or turning around an insolvent organization, all while incurring the added labor and toll of acting as representatives for one or many systemically marginalized identities and populations: https://nonprofitquarterly.org/there-is-nothing-uncomplicated-about-being-a-black-woman-leader/ #BIPOC #WOC #leadership #racialjustice
There hasn't been a president in my lifetime who wasn't a war criminal - it's how #AMERIKKKA is set up
I personally consider a #Vote for Biden to be = a vote for Kamala Harris
I'm not a giant fan of her personally but this country needs a #WOC in power long since
They're the ones who have driven every single inch of progress toward achieving actual #Democracy & #libertyandjusticeforALL
@ThomHartmann asks an excellent question:
Why ARE the folks with the courage to actually prosecute #Trump all #Black? And mostly #WOC?
My answer: Black folk have been the vanguard of all struggle toward Actual #Democracy in the US from our founding
#LibertyAndJusticeForALL has never applied to them, & until it does #NoJusticeNoPeace
And I thank God for that

...and yet the #Neolib #DNC keeps right on pushing him as a possible potus candidate instead of buffing the image of the person who jumped through every hoop to be next in line
I'm not a big KH fan - ngl - but I'd take pretty much ANY #WOC with her experience over #MayoPete
Whenever I hear or see anyone bitching about #DEI as the cause of anything negative, especially in #aviation, they're automatically outing themselves as #sexist & #racist. They're recycling the same #xenophobic lie that "immigrants are taking our jobs". I now work in the industry & as a #WOC, it's still very much majority male & white. The ones wanting the return to the exclusive #boysclub days are the same ones welcoming #fascism back.

The leadership, expertise and professionalism of women that are at the foundation of the case in GA against #Trump and his #coconspirators should not go unremarked. In light of #Trump's lifelong #abusive, #illegal and #unethical #conduct against #WOC, #women, #civilservants, and the list goes on, it is women who withstood the endless threats, harassment, and disturbing actions by #Trump, his colleagues and #MAGA and brought this case to the public for adjudication. Thank you all.
A day after Gov. Ron #DeSantis’ suspension of Monique Worrell, an executive staff member at the State Attorney’s Office who was on maternity leave was notified of her termination when investigators with the office accompanied by law enforcement made an unexpected visit to her home.
She has spent time in the hospital due to birth-related complications, she told the Sentinel. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2023/08/11/after-desantis-suspends-worrell-new-leadership-fires-staffer-on-maternity-leave/ #florida #FMLA #legalresearch #discrimination #suspended #fired #maternityleave #WOC
The HBOMax documentary The Stroll tells the story of an important part of Manhattan through the lens of transgender women of color — a demographic whose livelihood was heavily impacted by the escalation of police harassment and gentrification.

#WOC & #marginalized #POC - never forget that your #voices & #LivedExperiences MATTER! Please don't let anyone rob you of your voice. Recognize that even when you feel your voice doesn't matter or won't have much effect - important to keep speaking your truths & keep sharing your ideas on possible solutions to societal strifes.
Please hold on to those small rays of hope! Hope is one of the last meaningful things in life that those without humanity try to steal from you. RESIST.

From Mystery Writers of America: The Raven Award recognizes outstanding achievement in the mystery field outside the realm of creative writing. For 2023,
Mystery Writers of America selected Crime Writers of Color (CWoC), “an association of authors seeking to present a strong & united voice for members who self-identify as crime/mystery writers from traditionally underrepresented racial, cultural & ethnic backgrounds..." https://www.crimewritersofcolor.com/ @bookstodon #books #CrimeFiction #WoC
I have the same reaction.
Where are the Women Exec Producers? The #WOC who worked on #Disco? Aside from #MichelleYeoh, it looks like the team is male. SMH … Maybe that will change. #Section31
