February really is a hell of a month. In my corner of the Earth, everyone's getting a little tired of the cold, anxiously looking forward to the longer days that are right around the corner. It's also too short, full of too many expectations, like trying to live up to the plans you made for yourself only just last month. Thankfully, that also means it's over quickly and March comes in with the hope of spring. Can't wait for all the green to come back to the grass and the trees.

Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh - (Review) (4/5)

A Conspiracy of Truths by Alexandra Rowland - (Review) (3/5)

Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs - I've been a longtime fan of the Mercy Thompson series and, despite having it for almost a good decade now, I finally picked up the first book in this spinoff series. I will say, I think introducing the main characters in a short story separate from this book wasn't exactly the best decision, as there's a lot of confusion around who these characters are and what the basis of their story is. I'm not a fan of authors introducing important plot or character developments in short stories apart from the main series, as it's a pain to track them down in these obscure anthologies and makes the full length book seem incomplete.

Coming into this new series, I couldn't help but do some comparing to Mercy's. A little unfair, I know, but sometimes it can't be helped. Anna doesn't really come off as an interesting, strong protagonist and, to an extent, neither does Charles, far cries from Mercy, who always gives a good range of personality. From the first page, Anna and Charles are in instalove, so their relationship doesn't go through any worthwhile developments other than "Hey, we're in wolfy love now, guess we don't need to do any more emotional work on our behalf." It's just….how do you make a relationship interesting when they're automatically together? What hurdles do they face? What doubts? What hesitation? Hell, Anna has gone through trauma from sexual assault and being passed around her previous pack like a broodmare and that's not even expanded upon or how it may effect her relationship with Charles. It just ends up feeling so hollow. (3/5)

Young Men in Love edited by Joe Glass and Matt Miner - This is such a cute collection of queer romance comics made by queer creators for a queer audience. It focuses on male/masc couples through a variety of genres, ranging from more domestic stories to those featuring demon hunters, pirates, ghosts, and so much more. While not every story was a hit, it's rare for an anthology to be completely perfect, there is such an honesty to each one of them that you can't help but give them all a slight bit of admiration. Some standout stories include "Second Star to the Right," "Another Name," "Act of Grace," "The Way Home," and "Love Yourself." (4/5)

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers - (Review) (4/5)

The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke - Though I've been a Cornelia Funke fan since I was in middle school, this was one of her books I didn't grow up reading, which may have lessened the impact of it somewhat. The fantastical elements are pushed more to the background compared to her other books, and the magic comes more from the transportive descriptions of Venice. There was an interview in the back of my copy with Funke where she said that she wanted to create a book where children could actually go see the setting for themselves, which is a great way to introduce them to the wonders of their own world. And yet, somehow it felt like it overshadowed the characters a bit, who didn't really grab my attention.

Ultimately, the story didn't do much for me and I had the thought that I had read better versions of these themes in other books, most notably Something Wicked this Way Comes. Personally, I just think I started this book a tad too late. Though points to Funke for giving it a sort of odd, unconventional ending. (3/5)

DNFs:

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion - This book was given to me by a friend about 10 years ago and I only got around to reading it since I wanted to declutter my shelves a bit. I'm not real big on stories where romance is the main element, but I wanted to give it a fair shot.

Ultimately, I decided to put it down because I'm a little tired of the straight white male with thinly veiled misogyny representation of autism, especially when the understanding and conversation around neurodivergence has changed so much since this was written. Autism is a very wide spectrum, but apparently media is focused on only showcasing this particular manifestation, coming from writers that are not autistic, nor do they cite any research done in the autistic community to make their characters more authentic. And, judging from reviews I've seen of later installments of this series, it only gets worse.

Also, very much not interested in male writers that cannot write women to save their life. Got no time for that.

And the Ocean Was Our Sky by Patrick Ness - Beautiful illustrations aside, there's not much that interested me in this book which I could have finished if I gave it another half hour, but didn't really see the point. I haven't read Moby Dick, nor do I think I ever will, so the appeal of seeing that story from the whale's perspective wasn't an incentive. That and there are so many confusing elements that make the story too absurd to take seriously: why do the whales swim upside down, how do they have harpoons tied to their bodies when they're incapable of tying them themselves, how do these whales even know how to speak to humans? I think it's a story where you're not meant to think too hard about the logistics, but I couldn't help questioning it on nearly every page.

25 more movies (and one miniseries) you can watch on youtube

I posted 11 movies that are on youtube yesterday (Part 1) but since things are really starting to get shut down here’s more worthwhile movies and a miniseries you can watch for free on youtube right now

Leave Her To Heaven (1945): Gene Tierney is Ellen, a woman whose only crime is “loving too much,” and also all the other crimes she commits to make sure there are no competitors for husband Cornel Wilde’s affections in John M. Stahl’s incredibly lurid and entertaining technicolor melodrama.

M (1931): Fritz Lang’s masterpiece is the basis for every subsequent movie about hunting a serial killer and it’s still the best one.

The Naked Kiss (1964): Here’s the jacket copy from Criterion: “The setup is pure pulp: A former prostitute (a crackerjack Constance Towers) relocates to a buttoned-down suburb, determined to fit in with mainstream society. But in the strange, hallucinatory territory of writer-director-producer Samuel Fuller, perverse secrets simmer beneath the wholesome surface. Featuring radical visual touches, full-throttle performances, brilliant cinematography by Stanley Cortez, and one bizarrely beautiful musical number, The Naked Kiss is among Fuller’s greatest, boldest entertainments.”

Underworld USA (1961): Dave Kehr on the film: “Sam Fuller's harsh, obsessional 1960 crime drama is narrated in the style of a comic book gone berserk. Cliff Robertson is the neurotic hero, bent on avenging his father's death by infiltrating and destroying a crime syndicate that operates under the redolent name “National Projects.” Corruption is all-pervasive in this vision of America, and Fuller disturbingly suggests that only a madman can make a difference. One image from Underworld—of a heavy striking straight at the camera—prompted Jean-Luc Godard to describe Fuller's films as “cinema-fist.” There is no more apt phrase.”

Pickup on South Street (1953): Another Sam Fuller. Here’s Georgia Hubley of Yo La Tengo on the film: “Richard Widmark manages to portray himself as twisted, conniving, pathological, sleazy, tragic, vulnerable, and handsome all at once in most of the movies I’ve seen him in, and never more exquisitely than in this, one of my favorite film noirs.“

Journey to Italy (1954): Richard Brody on the film: “One of the most quietly revolutionary works in the history of cinema, Roberto Rossellini’s third feature starring Ingrid Bergman (his wife at the time), from 1953, turns romantic melodrama into intellectual adventure. [...] From Rossellini’s example, the young French New Wave critics learned to fuse studio style with documentary methods, and to make high-relief drama on a low budget.” 

The Spook Who Sat By The Door (1973): A satirical thriller based on the Sam Greenlee novel about the CIA recruiting a token black agent who quickly realizes they have no intention of letting him advance to a meaningful position and decides to head back to Chicago to teach the black revolutionaries all the latest guerrilla warfare tactics. Despite playing to packed houses the film was quickly pulled from theaters with little explanation and remained out of circulation until a DVD was issued in 2004.  

The Big Combo (1955): Dave Kehr’s capsule: “This 1955 film noir borders on total abstraction for most of its length and then achieves it in an astonishing final scene—a shoot-out in the fog that suggests an armed and dangerous Michelangelo Antonioni. Where the usual noir takes place in a nightmare world, this one seems to inhabit a dream: there's no longer fear in the images, but rather a distanced, idealized beauty. With Cornel Wilde, Jean Wallace, Brian Donlevy, and Richard Conte; the director is Joseph H. Lewis (Gun Crazy).”

The Stranger (1946): Orson Welles’s film concerns an FBI agent (Edward G. Robinson) tracking Nazi war criminals whose search takes him to a small Connecticut town where the local schoolteacher (Orson Welles) is not what he seems. It’s the most conventional Welles film, reportedly intended to prove he could turn in a movie on time and on budget, but it’s still plenty entertaining.

F For Fake (1973): Orson Welles documentary/essay/whatsit about forgers and frauds, specifically Elmyr de Hory, who became famous as an art forger because instead of forging existing paintings he painted new ones in the style of famous artists, and Clifford Irving, who wrote a best-selling book on Elmyr and then was busted for a fraud of his own, the fake Howard Hughes autobiography. A wildly enjoyable, incredibly edited, one of a kind mindbender.

Citizen Kane (1941): It’s Citizen Kane. You just have to put up with hardcoded Korean subs.

Detour (1945): Roger Ebert on the film: “Detour is a movie so filled with imperfections that it would not earn the director a passing grade in film school. This movie from Hollywood's poverty row, shot in six days, filled with technical errors and ham-handed narrative, starring a man who can only pout and a woman who can only sneer, should have faded from sight soon after it was released in 1945. And yet it lives on, haunting and creepy, an embodiment of the guilty soul of film noir. No one who has seen it has easily forgotten it.”

A Woman Under The Influence (1974): Dave Kehr: “John Cassavetes's 1974 masterpiece, and one of the best films of its decade. Cassavetes stretches the limits of his narrative—it's the story of a married couple, with the wife hedging into madness—to the point where it obliterates the narrator: it's one of those extremely rare movies that seem found rather than made, in which the internal dynamics of the drama are completely allowed to dictate the shape and structure of the film. The lurching, probing camera finds the same fascination in moments of high drama and utter triviality alike—and all of those moments are suspended painfully, endlessly. Still, Cassavetes makes the viewer's frustration work as part of the film's expressiveness; it has an emotional rhythm unlike anything else I've ever seen.”

Opening Night (1977): Another Cassavetes masterpiece, again starring the great Gena Rowlands, with Gena as an actress mentally disintegrating as she tries to prepare for an upcoming play. Easier to start with this one than A Woman Under The Influence. Richard Brody on the film: “Though there isn’t a movie camera anywhere to be seen—and Cassavetes, with his tightly sculpted, uninhibitedly intimate images, is a master of the camera—Opening Night captures with astonishment and boundless admiration the uninhibited ferocity of the art that brings life onto the screen. (In fact, Cassavetes had originally planned to take the role of the play’s director.) It’s one of the greatest tributes ever paid by a director to an actress.“

Magnificent Obsession (1954): It’s not necessarily Douglas Sirk’s best technicolor melodrama but this adaptation of Lloyd C. Douglas’s ridiculous bestseller is the most melodramatic one. From Cine-File: “Produced in the wake of Henry Koster's CinemaScope adaptation of Douglas' THE ROBE, Sirk's 1954 remake of MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION is, by any standard, an absolutely batshit movie. (It's the kind of film where a lecture about the radical power of kindness compares the crucifixion of Christ to the act of turning on a light bulb.)  It's not so much an adaptation of Douglas as a third-hand amplification of his aura. "Ross Hunter gave me the book," Sirk recalled, "and I tried to read it, but I just couldn't. It is the most confused book you can imagine.” As Geoffrey O'Brien asserts in his essay for the film's Criterion release, Sirk earnestly examines that which he admits to finding absurd, forcing such questions as, "What if this weren't crazy? What if it were real? What sort of a world would that be, and how different would it be from the one we inhabit?" Therein lies the genius of Sirk's glorious melodrama, one certainly worth seeing in all its Technicolor magnificence.

All That Heaven Allows (1955): Geoff Andrew on the film: “On the surface a glossy tearjerker about the problems besetting a love affair between an attractive middle class widow and her younger, 'bohemian' gardener, Sirk's film is in fact a scathing attack on all those facets of the American Dream widely held dear. Wealth produces snobbery and intolerance; family togetherness creates xenophobia and the cult of the dead; cosy kindness can be stultifyingly patronising; and materialism results in alienation from natural feelings. Beneath the stunningly lovely visuals - all expressionist colours, reflections, and frames-within-frames, used to produce a precise symbolism - lies a kernel of terrifying despair created by lives dedicated to respectability and security, given its most harrowing expression when Wyman, having given up her affair with Hudson in order to protect her children from gossip, is presented with a television set as a replacement companion. Hardly surprising that Fassbinder chose to remake the film as Fear Eats the Soul.“

Written on the Wind (1956): Dave Kehr:  “One of the most remarkable and unaccountable films ever made in Hollywood, Douglas Sirk's 1957 masterpiece turns a lurid, melodramatic script into a screaming Brechtian essay on the shared impotence of American family and business life. Sirk's highly imaginative use of color—to accent, undermine, and sometimes even nullify the drama—remains years ahead of contemporary technique. The degree of stylization is high and impeccable: one is made to understand the characters as icons as well as psychologically complex creations.“

His Girl Friday (1940): Geoff Andrew’s capsule: “Charles Lederer’s frantic script needs to be heard at least a dozen times for all the gags to be caught; Russell’s Hildy more than equals Burns in cunning and speed; and Hawks transcends the piece’s stage origins effortlessly, framing with brilliance, conducting numerous conversations simultaneously, and even allowing the film’s political and emotional thrust to remain upfront alongside the laughs. Quite simply a masterpiece.“

Bringing Up Baby (1938): Ignatiy Vishnevetsky on the film: “Possessed by an overwhelming sense of comic energy, Howard Hawks’ screwball masterpiece heaps on misunderstandings, misadventures, perfectly timed jokes, and patter to the point that it’s easy to overlook how rich and fluid it is a piece of filmmaking, effortlessly transitioning from one thing into the next.”

Underworld (1927): Dave Kehr: “The first full-fledged gangster movie and still an effective mood piece, this 1927 milestone was directed by the master of delirious melodrama, Josef von Sternberg. George Bancroft is the hard-boiled hero, granted tragic status in his final sacrifice. Ben Hecht wrote the script, and many of the same ideas turn up, in a very different moral context, in his screenplay for Howard Hawks's 1932 masterpiece, Scarface.“

Q - The Winged Serpent (1982): In Larry Cohen’s cheapo classic, Quetzelcoatl terrorizes New York. Michael Moriarty plays a bumbling, unlucky small time crook (the robbery he participates in goes hilariously wrong; losing the keys to the getaway car is just the start) who accidentally discovers the monster’s nest and realizes he’s stumbled into the opportunity of a lifetime. He’s willing to help the authorities, including cops played by David Carradine and Richard Roundtree, but they’re gonna have to pay for it. Very goofy and very fun.

Stalag 17 (1953): Billy Wilder’s classic mixes POW drama with comedy as a group of prisoners in a German POW camp try to figure out who in their barracks is a rat while they plan their escape.

Hellzapoppin (1941): Ignatiy Vishnevetsky:  “The opening reel may be the most manic stretch of go-for-broke gonzo comedy to come out of studio-era Hollywood, with the zoot-suited duo of Olsen and Johnson introduced tumbling out of a New York taxi into the bowels of hell (“That’s the first taxi driver that ever went straight where I told him to!”) in the midst of a musical number about how “Anything can happen / And it probably will.” Dozens of throwaway gags—including the first Citizen Kane reference in film history—and an argument with the projectionist (once and future Stooge Shemp Howard) follow, before the movie snaps into something vaguely resembling sanity. From there, Hellzapoppin’ finds Olsen and Johnson wandering in and out of a musical comedy that’s seems to be on the verge of falling apart and tussling with such comedy ringers as Martha Raye and Mischa Auer, the latter cast as a real Russian nobleman who’s trying to pass as a fake Russian nobleman. It’s like a Marx Brothers movie playing at triple speed; it eludes easy summary—it’s a real “you have to see it to believe it” kind of movie—and often stretches the limits of the Production Code. True to its absurdist sensibility, Hellzapoppin’ ended up getting nominated for an Oscar by mistake, for a song that doesn’t appear in the movie.” 

Outrage (1950): Directed and cowritten by Ida Lupino, this was one of the first Hollywood movies after the implementation of the production code to deal with rape and one of the first to tackle its psychological aftermath (the censor office actually made them take the word “rape” out of the script so it’s never uttered in the film). Richard Broday on the film: “Outrage is a special artistic achievement. Lupino approaches the subject of rape with a wide view of the societal tributaries that it involves. She integrates an inward, deeply compassionate depiction of a woman who is the victim of rape with an incisive view of the many societal failures that contribute to the crime, including legal failure to face the prevalence of rape, and the over-all prudishness and sexual censoriousness that make the crime unspeakable in the literal sense and end up shaming the victim. Above all, she reveals a profound understanding of the widespread and unquestioned male aggression that women face in ordinary and ostensibly non-violent and consensual courtship.“

The Hitch-Hiker (1953): Another Ida Lupino joint, this one a lean and mean film noir. J. Hoberman on the film: “The “Hitch-Hiker” script, written (uncredited) by the socially conscious journalist Daniel Mainwaring, was inspired by an actual case: Two buddies (Frank Lovejoy and Edmond O’Brien) pick up a murderous psychopath (William Talman) who forces them to drive him to Mexico. It’s a brutal story handled by Ms. Lupino, one of Hollywood’s very few female directors, with the same steely determination and emotional sensitivity found in her strongest performances.”

And the miniseries:

The Singing Detective (1986): Here’s the entry from the BBC’s list of the top 100 British television programs, where it placed number 20: “For many Potter's masterpiece, this extended six-part filmed drama series mixes flashback and fantasy to create a psychological profile of a writer of detective fiction hospitalised by a crippling skin disease. Though not, the writer stressed, autobiographical, the drama features many elements from both Potter's own life (the disease, the childhood setting) and his body of work (particularly the use of popular music from the war years). As usual with Potter, it also caused controversy at the time for the frankness of its sex scenes, though its position as one of the most challenging and inventive of all TV dramas is secure.“

Demonology and Witch-Hunting in Early Modern Europe (Routledge Studies in the History of Witchcraft, Demonology and Magic), edited by Julian Goodare, Rita Voltmer, and Liv Helene Willumsen, Routledge, 2020. Cover painting by Salvator Rosa, info: routledge.com.

Demonology – the intellectual study of demons and their powers – contributed to the prosecution of thousands of witches. But how exactly did intellectual ideas relate to prosecutions? Recent scholarship has shown that some of the demonologists’ concerns remained at an abstract intellectual level, while some of the judges’ concerns reflected popular culture. This book brings demonology and witch-hunting back together, while placing both topics in their specific regional cultures. The book’s chapters, each written by a leading scholar, cover most regions of Europe, from Scandinavia and Britain through to Germany, France and Switzerland, and Italy and Spain. By focusing on various intellectual levels of demonology, from sophisticated demonological thought to the development of specific demonological ideas and ideas within the witch trial environment, the book offers a thorough examination of the relationship between demonology and witch-hunting. Demonology and Witch-Hunting in Early Modern Europe is essential reading for all students and researchers of the history of demonology, witch-hunting and early modern Europe.

happy three year anniversary limelights !!

i can’t believe its been three years oh my gosh. the joy these five boys have brought me over the past 3+ years is insane. (sry for the bad grammar i’ll edit this later its 12:30am i’m exhausted)

here is my story with corbyn, daniel, jack, jonah and zach

the first person i found out about was jonah. i was going to see digitour in 2015 and he was on the lineup. i was like ok, gotta find out who he is. this man had the best cover of night changes ever. i still listen to it to this day. he was amazing on stage, although i do not remember much of it, i know he was great. i followed him ever since, from pressplay to the band.

next was corbyn, i happened across his younow. he was amazing. hands down my favorite, sorry boys. i watched all his younows. i became obsessed with jake miller because of him. corbyn was the first to follow me on twitter. he would do late night broadcasts and after one of the broadcasts i dm’d him askin a question and he reaponded. you can only imagine how freaked out i was. i followed him from younow to impact to the band.

after corbyn i found zach and jack through corbyn. corbyn was on this younower/influencer tour with jack and zach. simon britton, hunter and brandon rowland, weston koury, nathan triska and more were on it. they would travel to a city on a weekend, rent a house and do a meet and greet and show. it was really cool, they did broadcasts together at the houses, my personal favorite part. at that time, jack had straight hair and zach was just the instagram stitches boy. (if you don’t know that, idk u)

i found daniel when the band started, i didn’t watch american idol so i had no previous idea of him.

but when the band started, i was so excited. whether or not i knew all or them, i would have loved the band. them separately and together are amazing. i can still remember them announcing the band. the first vlog. the release of taking you. those memories are so vivid in my brain.

i was a hardcore stan from the beginning. the band retweeted one of my tweets about the ep. it was an edit of the boys holding the eps, how they announced only the beginning. (corb posted it on ig) from that tweet, the band acc, daniel and zach followed me. (on twitter) so yes i have 3/5 + the band accs follow. it was a crazy day.

i unfortunately couldn’t go to the first show they had in milwaukee, january of 2017 but the following year i made up for it by going twice, once in march and again in august. seeing them makes me so happy. i have seen them again this past june. if you have not seen them i highly recommend

it has been my dream to meet corbyn and tell him how much he means to me. he has helped me through so much. i can just hear his voice and calm down, feel better and refreshed. he makes me happy. i just want to hug him and never let him go. i have not had the chance to meet him unfortunately. someday soon, i will do whatever it takes to see him, talk to him and hug him

this past year or so, i have become really attached to the people surrounding the band such as the family members and friends. christina, gabriela and tatum have played such a big role in my life this past year or more, christina definitely at least three. the gonzalez family alone is basically my lifeline. lavender may avery is the love of my life. anna seavey is a huge role model for me. rachel, kay, lainey, gabriela, samuel, ryan, ava, and so many more are so amazing, i wish i could be like them. isla and reece have a life all kids wish they could have.

i love this band with my whole ass heart. if you read this whole thing i love you, i did not proof read and its 12:30 am, i’m tired.

to the band, i love you. thank you for being you, your silly ass selves. i love you, i can’t say it enough. and guys, take a break. tour, album, tour, tour, tour. you guys need a break every once in a while. come on, jack has a child and he won’t get this time back. take some more breaks, give him time with lavender so he can watch her grow up, and not through a screen. i say this with love. you all deserve the world. i hope you know how much your music means to me and how much i love you. happy three year anniversary loves

Personal: MindsIRL!

I went to this event and it ROCKED.

Although I haven’t set up a Minds account yet, I follow a lot of political YouTubers like Sargon of Akkad, Tim Pool, Blaire White, Aydin Paladin, etc. And then I heard they’d all be together and I squealed and bought a ticket immediately.

Unfortunately Antifa took offense to an event literally titled “Ending Racism, Violence, and Authoritarianism” because some of the featured speakers were right-wing. They threatened the original venue, in Pitman, NJ. Rather than cancelling the event, Minds sent all attendees an email the day of to tell us the new venue, a casino in Philadelphia. A casino with ample free parking, might I add! 

They set up a debate station, with a packet of suggested topics. There were almost always two people sitting there, often with a crowd of 10-40 people around them to watch and comment. It was a totally non-violent and intellectual atmosphere. (Wish I had a photo, but I didn’t want to get anyone’s faces which I’d have to blur with my nonexistent photo-editing skills.)

There was casino security and police officers both inside and outside the casino. Coming in, you had to show ID and be scanned by a guard. There was enough concern about violence that both Blaire White and Sh0eonhead didn’t show, unfortunately. But I stayed until the last ten minutes of the event, and I never saw any violence or attempted violence. If there were protesters present, they didn’t reveal themselves.

The closest thing to a protest was a heavy lady and her long-haired boyfriend. They stood just outside the conference room and would conduct interviews with attendees. During one Q&A session, an attendee warned us not to talk to them because, despite their polite guise, they were taking images and information about those they interviewed and slandering those people as racist and such on their Twitter accounts. Security was not asked to interfere, because freedom of speech includes the right to lie, and most of us were not interacting with them anyway.

I won’t lie, I didn’t attend all the events, The third debate had no one I knew of on the panel, so I used that time to get food and walk around. Aside from that, I can say that most of the contributors did well! It was exciting to see Tim and Carl, whom I’ve followed for years, as well as Roaming Millennial and Aydin Paladin. (Tim and Carl tend to play off each other well - they’re more talkative and like to tell stories, so sometimes we had trouble shutting them up!) 

Probably the worst contributors were:

The Marxist from the first debate. He was very active in contributing to the discussion, but not always in a friendly manner. He mischaracterized another speaker’s criticism of social media’s political bias as a hatred of capitalism. The funniest moment was, rather than one of his many attempted jokes, when he declared the Trump administration to be extremely anti-gay, to which a third of the audience responded, “What?!” He also believed in the Muslim ban, but as he’s a progressive, it’s no surprise.

Melissa Chen. I’ve never followed her, and she didn’t express any odd or dumb opinions. She’s very cute. But she wasn’t a strong moderator. She was moderating the “NSFW” panel, but she set it up like an awkward PowerPoint to start, and then gave them signs with a circle with a line through it to hold up if they wanted to ban something. No one used their sign except Karen Straughan, who dominated the panel by sheer hilarity. She would hold up the sign and say, “I’m banning the banning of hate speech!” And we all cheered.

Coolest moments:

Everyone telling Andy Ngo they loved him and supported his work, regardless of how it must change for his own safety

The Minds founders being present, one as host () and one as panel-contributor (Bill Ottman)

The frequent jokes at the expense of the socialist conference (”Quick point of personal privilege!”; We all waved our hands instead of clapping and burst into laughter at one point.)

Lauren Chen giving out milkshakes to all the people on her panel

Getting to see Carl, Tim, and Andy! (I could probably have talked to them if I’d gotten closer, but I was way too nervous XP)

People chanting U-S-A at least three separate times

The wild, long applause for the female Jewish owner of the bar for the after-party, who came to the event, asked questions, and was standing strong despite having also received Antifa threats

The friendly conversations people had during our breaks, short though they were

The entirety of the panel on comedy (Count Dankula ruled the room)

Karen Straughan telling us about her teenage son’s plan to wear a hat saying “Not gay but $20 is $20″ and a shirt saying “Look out ladies, world’s biggest virgin coming through” to high school, which she fully supported

Daryl Freaking Davis!

So our last event, which was a surprise to most of us, was Bill Ottman interviewing Daryl Davis, the guy who befriends and deradicalizes KKK members!! He’s been doing it 30 years now. He told us stories about his work and emphasized the importance of direct action, making America into the country we want it to be. There was a moment early on where he talked about the need for further progress, and his first example was “women only earn 79 cents.” There was a quiet murmur through the back of the room. But since we all respected him so much, it died pretty quickly. We were all kinda in awe of him.

It was so, so nice to go to a good political event while living in New Jersey. I only wish I’d gotten onto Minds earlier, so maybe I could’ve talked to more people.

Fantasy and Adventure New Releases: 28 March, 2020

This week’s fantasy and adventure new releases feature doomed felon NPCs, living saints policing the streets, and a spoiled princess trying to avoid a second trip to the headsman.

Burnt (The Balance of Kerr #1) – Kevin Steverson and Tyler Ackerman

An offer they couldn’t refuse. A chance to re-set the balance…

Tog and Kryder were raised as brothers, even though they were very different. Tog was a Half-Orc, tall and strong, and good with an axe. Kryder was shorter and tended to daggers…except when he used the magic passed down to him from his deceased mother. Having just reached adulthood in the Baronies West, both were enjoying life.

But when Baron Arnwald sends them out on a mission to determine whether the rumors of war are true, the brothers get a lot more than they bargained for. Running into Lan, the Keeper of Memories, they are shown many things that have nothing to do with the upcoming war…or do they?

One thing is certain—the Creator’s balance has been upset, and they must use all of their wits and skills to make things right again, both in their lives and in the world. Mercenaries and mages stand in their way, though, and the odds are stacked against them.

Although Tog and Kryder are only two people, forces are working in the background to get them to the right time and place where they can make a difference. If they’re not careful, though, they also might get very, very dead.

Corona-chan: Spreading the Love – edited by David V. Stewart

Stuck inside? Quarantine got you feeling down… or even worse, BORED?

Corona-Chan: Spreading the Love is here to rescue you from the existential horror of indoor life, by offering you a glimpse into other worlds of wonder, whimsy, and warped humor.

Tales of high adventure, escapist fantasies, and thrilling stories of suspense await within, from some of the keenest and most rebellious minds in pulp fiction, with a foreword by the infamous Daddy Warpig.

With 200,000 words of exciting fiction, most never before published, including four books, Corona-Chan is serious about spreading the love!

Read it today!

Coven (Saint Tommy, NYPD #7) – Declan Finn

Detective Thomas Nolan has finally returned home. In typical police fashion, he is welcomed home with a murder case and gunfire.

After one arrest goes spectacularly wrong, Tommy is assigned another case and another dead body.

But everything goes wrong from the start of the case. The deceased is a member of a nearby military base, and no one wants to answer his questions. A local bodega gives him mind-splitting headaches. Worst of all, someone is after his children.

To make matters worse — Tommy no longer has his charisms.

The Edge of Darkness (The Volatar Saga #1) – D. K. Holmberg

They called him the Volatar. He came from nothing. Found his power. Became a legend, then lost it all.

Now he has all the power in the world but can’t touch it. With war growing, an old enemy on his heels, his best friend by his side, only the north holds the secret to reconnecting with his lost power.

But war has a way of pushing old heroes aside.

Hevith Alaster knew nothing of the Hith when their dark magic took his family away. Life on the wagon train had been simple. Keep moving north, stay ahead of the war.

But war found him all the same.

Hurt, humbled, and left to rot in a northern prison, Hevith must carve out a new life for himself in the wake of tragedy–but only if he can find a way to break free before the Hith break him. Either he must rise to the challenge or he will be yet another casualty on the Hith’s path to total domination.

Ghostblade (The Savage Hunters #1) – Adam Lane Smith

Giant monsters roam the land.

Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For one young hunter named Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne.

When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas.

Sentenced to Troll 3 – S. L. Rowland

The ancient portals have been unlocked, restoring fast travel to Isle of Mythos.

No longer the outsider, Chod enjoys his newfound acceptance as a hero and troll. New lands and adventures await with the promise of gold and glory. But every opportunity offers the chance of misfortune.

Several portals still remain closed, hiding dire threats behind their veils of dark energy. Enemies have disappeared into parts unknown, and rumors of the return of the greatest villain Mythos has ever known grow louder by the day.

Chod has one goal- unite the heroes of Mythos. Fail, and he loses everything.

Shadowbound (Ghostlight Academy #1) – Gage Lee

Kai Evers only wanted to give his little sister Biz an unforgettable trip to the happiest place on Earth.

But when an augmented reality game goes off the rails, the pair find themselves whisked away to a ruined fantasy world in desperate need of heroes. Trapped in the ruins of an ancient cultivation academy, the siblings must learn to master the mysterious ghostlight to restore the broken gate that can send them home.

This seemingly insurmountable quest will change Kai’s life forever—or end it.

Ghostlight Academy: Shadowbound is the first book in the exciting new series from the best-selling author of the School of Swords and Serpents series. Featuring cultivation, base building, quests, treasures, and monsters, this first volume is your key to an intriguing new world.

Subtle Target (Six Assassins #2) – Jim Heskitt and Nick Thacker

A ruthless peddler of poison is closing in. How long can she evade the inevitable?

Elite assassin Ember Clarke never thought she would have to stare death in the face.

In week two of a six-week trial by combat, she’s working hard to keep her head above water. But the hitman after her this week changes everything by poisoning Ember’s crew solely to get to her.

Devastated by these senseless killings, Ember strikes out to find the vicious murderer. But a technicality in the rules keeps the poisoner’s identity secret.

Can Ember uncover the identity of her shadow before this person kills again?

Tearmoon Empire – Nozomu Mochitsuki

Surrounded by the hate-filled gazes of her people, the selfish princess of the fallen Tearmoon Empire, Mia, takes one last look at the bleeding sun before the guillotine blade falls…

Only to wake back up as a twelve-year-old! With time rewound and a second chance at life dropped into her lap, she sets out to right the countless wrongs that plague the ailing Empire. Corrupt governance? Check. Border troubles? Check. Natural calamities and economic strife? Check.

My, seems like a lot of work.

Hard work and Mia don’t mix, so she seeks out the aid of others, starting with her loyal maid, Anne, and the brilliant minister, Ludwig. Together, they strive day and night to restore the Empire. Little by little, their tireless efforts begin to change the course of history, pushing the whole of the continent toward a new future.

And why did the selfish princess have a change of heart, you ask? Simple—she didn’t. She’s just terrified of the guillotine. They hurt like hell, and Mia hates pain more than work.

\William Faulkner, in hunt dress complete with top hat, a photo taken by Colonel J.R. Cofield of Oxford.

Tell about the South, one of William Faulkner’s characters once asked.  What’s it like there?  What do they do there?  How do they live there?  How do they live at all? Mississippians have never hesitated to take up this challenge, and now they have found their champion.  Lorie Watkins, who teaches at William Carey University, has edited the first comprehensive history of literature in Mississippi.   The scholars whose work is collected here (associated with colleges as far east as the Carolinas, as far west as Dallas, and as far north as Middle Tennessee) have honored Mississippi’s writers with a fine, wide-ranging review of their broad and varied body of work.

Theresa Towner does well at the most daunting task:  the chapter on William Faulkner.  She chooses to view Faulkner in the context of Mississippi history but manages to avoid the most common peril in Faulkner studies:  dwelling on Faulkner’s world and the mythos of the South. Malcolm Cowley, whose Portable Faulkner first mapped Yoknapatawpha County, long ago regretted that critics focused on the mythic dimensions of Faulkner’s writing rather than on other aspects of the novelist’s craft and concerns.  Towner’s path is one to follow.

Donald Shaffer, in his chapter on Richard Wright, speaks of “the South as a cultural signifier.”  Fortunately, he cuts through such semioticians’ terms to look at how Mississippi’s angriest writer learned to show his outrage at both white and black Southerners and how his gifts came to be recognized by those who could appreciate them.  Shaffer is also alert to the ironies and currents of literature, noting that the writer from whom Wright first learned to use words as weapons was H.L.

Some chapters are grab-bags.  Taylor Hagood’s essay on contemporary fiction writers must stretch to cover Shelby Foote, Walker Percy, Elizabeth Spencer, Ellen Douglas, Ellen Gilchrist, Barry Hannah, Richard Ford, Larry Brown, and Olympia Vernon – as well as Lewis Nordan and Steve Yarbrough, émigré novelists publishing from the North, and Texas-born carpetbagger Frederick Barthelme.  Hagood wraps John Grisham, Donna Tartt, and Kathryn Stockett into one sentence, and includes Willie Morris, based on his 1973 novel, The Last of the Southern Girls.  Terrence Tucker handles a similar task in “Marginalized Voices in Mississippi’s America.” This focuses on Beth Henley’s plays, comparing her dramas to the work of Stark Young, Endesha Mae Holland, and Elizabeth Spencer (Light in the Piazza and Knights and Dragons.)

Thomas Lanier “Tennessee” Williams (born in Columbus) and Margaret Walker (who could have been claimed by New Orleans or Chicago) get chapters to themselves.   The chapter on Eudora Welty, “Mississippi Cosmopolite” by Suzanne Marrs, gives a succinct biography of a polished and eccentric talent.  Ted Ownby provides a thoughtful reading of two ambitious historians, J.F.H. Claiborne and Dunbar Rowland – one who saw history as a chronicle of disorder, tyranny, license, and virtue, another who saw Mississippi history as a study in progress.

In Daniel Cross Turner’s chapter on modern poetry, Delta bluesman Robert Johnson and Nobel laureate Bob Dylan (“Only one thing I did wrong / Stayed in Mississippi a day too long”) overshadow Etheridge Knight, Paul Ruffin, and, unaccountably, Natasha Trethewey, who has won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry and twice served as poet laureate of the United States.

The slave narratives collected by interviewers in the 1930’s pose a deeply bitter irony:  “the voice of Mississippi slaves emerges from the mouths of Mississippi slaveholders,” Lorie Watkins and Claude Pruitt write.  In Mississippi, as in the rest of the South, the actual literature of the Civil War is surprisingly scant, far heavier in soldiers’ and home-front diaries than in long-form fiction.  It gains heft, and depth when considered alongside antebellum writing and the literature of Reconstruction.  Black writers Samuel Beadle (1857-1932) and John Roy Lynch (1847-1939) were lawyers engaged in politics; their books might well be read in tandem with Reminiscences of a Mississippian in Peace and War, by Frank A. Montgomery (1830-1903), the Confederate cavalry officer, later a legislator and judge, who organized the Ku Klux Klan in Bolivar County.

If race and history have too long obsessed Mississippi literature, there may be something redeeming in its rambunctiousness and country shrewdness.  This can be seen in Larry Brown; it shows up as early as the 1840’s, in Alexander McNutt’s stories of Jem and Chunkey, two backwoods hunters who persuade a visiting Englishman to capture a “perfume otter” (which of course is really a skunk).

It is not only scholars of literature who will use this book.  Those who value history will read it as well, for much of the most interesting material here deals with writers whose work is little known and whose value lies in illuminating history.
