What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men-bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. This is your country, this is your world, this is your body, and you must find some way to live within the all of it.” In a profound work that pivots from the biggest questions about American history and ideals to the most intimate concerns of a father for his son, Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a powerful new framework for understanding our nation’s history and current crisis.

I go through the folder again (immediately)looking at the frames on large preview and try and remove frames that replicate a certain lighting style or framing. I’m then left with usually around 80-100 really interesting frames. I view all the frames as a slideshow and I remove any frame that there are doubles of (someone might be blinking in first frame and normal in second) or remove any that seem less interesting this time around.Ĥ. So the next step is to edit, usually there might be a week or 2 between the first grab and this edit stage. This usually leaves me with around 200-250 frames per film.

But when her investigations questioned whether the use of animal tissue in medical research were unleashing devastating plagues of chronic diseases, such as autism and chronic fatigue syndrome, she saw science at its worst. When she was part of the research community that turned HIV-AIDS from a fatal disease into a manageable one, she saw science at its best. Mikovits has seen the best and worst of science. With the brilliant wit one might expect if Erin Brockovich had a doctorate in molecular biology, Dr. Mikovits has always been on the leading edge of science. And like many women who have trespassed into the world of men, she uncovered decades-old secrets that many would prefer to stay buried.įrom her doctoral thesis, which changed the treatment of HIV-AIDS, saving the lives of millions, including basketball great Magic Johnson, to her spectacular discovery of a new family of human retroviruses, and her latest research which points to a new golden age of health, Dr. Judy Mikovits is a modern-day Rosalind Franklin, a brilliant researcher shaking up the old boys’ club of science with her groundbreaking discoveries.
Lillian wants to spend some time alone with her fiancé, but Hank, like so many other young men, returned from the war literally tethered to a ghost. “Sunday in the Park with Hank” by Leah Bobet, published in The Deadlands, is a beautifully-written and heartbreaking meditation on trauma, guilt, and survival. They are all looking to make their own way in life, but first they must reckon with what they owe to history, or what history owes to them. These stories all feature characters grappling with the past-whether they are haunted by the dead, feel beholden to certain established narrative paths, or are weighted down by their ancestors. As the year winds down and we look ahead, it seems appropriate to focus on stories dealing with what came before and how to honor that while still moving forward. Welcome to another Words for Thought! It’s hard to believe 2022 is almost over. Other than a criticism of how a novel should be structured, Christie Malry’s own double-entry serves as a great middle finger to organised businesses. In a meta-novel twist the book’s narrator is having a chat with Christie Malry and is then telling us readers his exploits. At first it starts on a prankster level (think of the tricks Amelie plays on the greengrocer) and then it escalates to cartoonish levels of destruction. Therefore if someone is unpleasant to him, he has to pay that person back equally so that the debit is fulfilled. Malry then starts to apply this system to life. There he discovers the Double-Entry booking system, where every transaction is recorded as a debit and a credit, the end sum has to balance itself. This doesn’t work out so he then is hired as an accountant at a firm which makes chocolates and baked goods. Plus it’s good a fine plot.Ĭhristie Malry wants to be near money so he decides to work in a bank. It is playful, anarchic, has some ghastly puns, rude moments and it challenges the boundaries of fiction. It was an enjoyable read but I did feel that the concept overshadowed both the story and inner message.Ĭhristie Malry’s Own Double-Entry was Johnson’s last novel and it is everything I like in fiction. Johnson was The Unfortunates, which consisted of a book divided into separate pamphlet-like chapters, which could be read in any order. |
