Who's as excited as I am about stories featuring Black "geeks" and "nerds". Excuse me while I get lost in this magical book. Thanks to @penguinteen and @tlcdiversity for the gifted copy. QOTD: What's your favorite anthology? ✨️SYNOPSIS✨️ A multi-genre YA anthology of bestselling, critically acclaimed Black authors challenging the concept of “the geek,” featuring contributions from Amerie, Kalynn Bayron, Terry J. Benton-Walker, Roseanne A. Brown, Elise Bryant, Tracy Deonn, Desiree S. Evans, Isaac Fitzsimons, Lamar Giles, Jordan Ifueko, Leah Johnson, Amanda Joy, Kwame Mbalia, Tochi Onyebuchi, Shari B. Pennant, K. Arsenault Rivera, Julian Winters, and Ibi Zoboi. A girl who believes in UFOs; a boy who might have finally found his Prince Charming; a hopeful performer who dreams of being cast in her school’s production of The Sound of Music; a misunderstood magician of sorts with a power she doesn’t quite understand. These plotlines and many more compose the eclectic stories found within the pages of this dynamic, exciting, and expansive collection featuring exclusively Black characters. From contemporary to historical, fantasy to sci-fi, magical to realistic, and with contributions from a powerhouse list of self-proclaimed geeks and bestselling, award-winning authors, this life-affirming anthology celebrates and redefines the many facets of Blackness and geekiness—both in the real world and those imagined. https://www.instagram.com/p/CngShXSgn0d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

* 𝐃𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐄𝐑 . . .

excuse me did you see evan roderick hanging around palmwood studios ? oh no , that was carter griffith , the twenty - nine year old actor who plays jake marono on hillmore women. yeah , you know rumour has it they’re - cynical , and - self - destructive , but their fans all say they’re + observant , and + compassionate. around palmwood studios they’re known as the omen.

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 for the following themes:

abuse , neglect , manipulation + gaslighting , abandonment , theft , juvenile detention.

𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 . . .

birth name , beau carter griffith. nickname , carter. date of birth , july 7 , 1993. natal chart , cancer sun + gemini moon + gemini rising. gender , cis man. pronouns , he + him. orientations , bisexual. birth place , apple valley , california. place of living , los angeles , california. language(s) spoken , english + basic american sign language ( one of his half - siblings was hard of hearing ). faceclaim , evan roderick. height , 6′1″ ( rounded up ) + 183cm. positive traits , observant + compassionate. negative traits , cynical + self - destructive. moral alignment , true neutral.

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐄 . . .

occupation , actor. trainings + skills , n / a. years active , 2017 — present. television debut , hillmore women ( as jake marono ). film debut , the batman ( as the riddler / edward nashton ). breakthrough role in , hillmore women ( as jake marono ). other notable works , a one episode guest role in bad guy brains + spencer monroe in the walking dead.

𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 . . .

beau griffith was born on july 7, 1993, in apple valley, california, to parents dean griffith, a blue collar worker and desiree griffith ( née tuckett ), unemployed. the couple only had beau together, providing instead a total of four half - siblings and two step - siblings with different partner over the course of their tumultuous relationship. while they chased and fled each other on and off, beau and his half - siblings were all left to fend for themselves. his childhood was filled with the good and the bad — the good came during times of reconciliation, when the pair found their way back to each other and favored their shared son. the bad came when they found conflict once again, dragging beau into the center of it as if he were the rope in their game of tug of war. they favored their other children during the intense moments because beau was a reminder of the other, and they gaslighted and manipulated him in an attempt to gain the upper hand in their fights. with the constant tensions at home and a need for escape, it was no surprise when he began running with the wrong crowd. he and his friends, from the time they reached middle school, completed little heists for money. these “ heists ” as the group called them, were simply petty thefts — pickpocketing wallets & watches + swiping items from stores & residences. in the tenth grade and, following another highly reactive and violent confrontation between his parents, beau agreed to take it to the next level and took part in the car theft of their principal. that same night he and two of his friends were caught and arrested for the crime.

beau went on to serve three months in juvenile detention, given this was his first sentence and he got off on a misdemeanor charge. this was his first of two sentences during his adolescence. the second came nearly a year later and he was placed in juvenile detention for sixteen months. following this sentence, beau returned home to an empty house. with the desire for a clean slate, beau got his GED, a minimum wage job, and took what was left of his belongings to move into a rundown apartment in the city.

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 . . .

acting happened by chance. beau had met a friend in a pub one night that told him he had the bearings for it. while he laughed off the comment in the moment, when he returned home that same night, he couldn’t stop thinking about it — not because he had a desire for a career in hollywood but rather, because he felt like it would be a chance to prove himself, to get back at his parents for the way they treated him. so, that’s what he did. from that moment forward, he legally started going by his middle name carter. beginning first with commercials, some of which were and still are highly embarrassing to look back on, but through this work he landed a modelling gig and then, as if life was finally granting him a big fucking break, he landed the role on his first television series “ hillmore women. ”

due to a huge lack of experience and skill in acting, carter only had one acting credit in his career during his early twenties and that was as jake marono. he sought out tips from his castmates and began taking classes that would boost his skills and career. his rise in the industry has been slow and has hardly allowed him a chance to transcend from his shitty little apartment, but he no longer takes anything for granted. it was only within the past two years or so that carter started landed other roles, his biggest to date was in the newest batman film as the riddler / edward nashton ( nygma ). yet, with a past like his, there are hardly any happy endings because just as he finally managed to pay off his debts, one from the past made its return once the name carter griffith began to grow in popularity more and more across the country. old friends caught wind of his success and rising bank accounts, and have started showing up at his place demanding hospitality and repayment for the night he crashed the vehicle and landed each of them in jail.

𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 . . .

○ mentors — inspired by the following dynamic , tom holland & robert downey jr. ( basically actors that took him under their wing and helped him out behind the scenes ).

○ confidant — the only person that he confides in , the person that was there when his past sentences made headlines at the onset of his career. this person guided him through it emotionally.

○ future pr relationship — their teams are currently ✨ manifesting ✨ it so it’s a stay tuned for drama type of energy.

○ best friend — inspired by the following dynamic , damon salvatore & alaric saltzman ( the first friend he made in the city + the person that encouraged him to try acting. now they’re bffs and would die for each other idk. broody drinks at bars ).

○ someone that can’t take him seriously — he’s got a bad past and arguably no talent when he came into the business, he’s just a pretty face landing roles. so hate on him.

○ someone he desperately tries to impress — similar to the last connection except this one is carter trying to prove himself to them because he needs reassurance and also ? maybe he was / is a fan.

○ close friends — inspired by the following dynamics , literally all the squads in fave shows.

○ one night stands / hook - ups / friends with benefits — he’s a bit of a man whore so !

○ the one person he’s just in love with high key because he doesn’t try to hide it literally one single bit — inspired by the following dynamics , chuck & blair ( gossip girl ) + nate & serena ( gossip girl ) + stiles & lydia ( teen wolf ) + seth & summer ( the oc ) + joey & pacey ( dawson’s creek ).

and i’m open to any other ideas!

Motown Legend Lamont Dozier, Dead At 81

Motown artist, producer, and songwriter Lamont Dozier has passed away at age 81. His son confirmed his father's death via Instagram. The cause of death is currently unknown. Dozier is primarily known for being the mastermind between some of Motown's greatest hits. He and his songwriting peers, Brian and Eddie Holland, were responsible for producing 25 no. 1 hits. Some of those hits include Marvin Gaye's “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)” and “Stop! In The Name of Love” by The Supremes. Dozier, though known for his association with Motown, found success out of the Detroit label. In the 1970s, he moved to California, and began writing for Warner Bros., Arista Records and Columbia Records. In the 1980s, he took his talents to England, where he penned hits for acts like Simply Red. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Dozier and the Hollands in 1988. In the later half of his career, he continued producing, but mostly focused on his own work. Lamont Dozier's Influence On Hip-Hop In addition to being the backbone to many hits in the 1960s, Dozier left quite a mark as an artist himself. And his legacy has lasted for decades as his music influences younger artists as well, many of them being rappers. For example, artists like Nipsey Hussle and Ghostface Killah sampled 1974's “Shine.” Other notable hip-hop artists sampling his work include Remy Ma, Trippie Redd, Outkast, and Faith Evans. Alternative hip-hop groups, like Linkin Park and The Avalanches, utilized his discography as well. Lamont Dozier's time on this earth has passed, but his presence in the music industry remains for years to come. His wife passed last year. They leave behind kids Michelle, Michael Renee, Beau Alexandre, Paris Ray, Desiree, and Lamont Jr. Written by Kimberly Stelly | Instagram | Twitter | Spotify Follow FMHipHop on Twitter | Instagram | Spotify Read the full article

Free Online Fiction Recommendations

Another wrap up post of fantastic short stories I’ve read online recently!

Goblin by Rachel Harrison — This story is sparse on the worldbuilding, but that doesn’t matter. It’s not about the fact that there are app goblins, it’s about the way women are made to hate their bodies and how you should probably eat the people who make you hate it. Warning: this is about eating disorders and it’s pretty explicit, take care.

Amy Discovers Jo’s AO3 Handle and Drags Her in the March Family Group Chat by Peyton — Exactly what it says on the tin. A Little Women fanfic told through text messages. Extremely funny and moving, and the voices are spot on. (And afterwards, read this accompanying article on Little Women the book and movie)

Red by Malinda Lo — A Red Riding Hood retelling set in the Chinese Cultural Revolution that draws on the earlier, darker forms of the story type. It’s really exciting to see retellings based on older tales!

Belly by Desiree S. Evans — Though I love all of these stories, Belly is undoubtedly my favorite on this list. Beautifully written and bewitching, it’s about magic and family and women’s relationships.

More recommendations in my “free fiction” tag, as always!
