Middle Child Press: Zodiac: Solstice (Summer)

http://middlechildpress.blogspot.com/2014/08/zodiac-solstice-summer.html

Cayo looked around at the elegant, comfortable room. While he loved his employers and his job, he couldn't help but feel that there was something slightly odd about their home. He and Chef were the only two people welcome in the Zhous' Suva residence, and he got that same vibe every time he was in it.

At the Bar: Funny thing about #WhiteOut (#RIP #PercySledge)

http://www.ankhesen-mie.net/2015/04/funny-thing-about-whiteout-rip.html

Funny thing about #WhiteOut (#RIP #PercySledge). It's not exactly new. From the fave Bar Patron du jour Ranier Maningding. Whose posts have been nothing but fire, I present to you one hell. What Happens When White Musicians Steal From Black Ones? Yesterday afternoon, on a rainy day in Baton Rouge, legendary soul singer Percy Sledge passed away at 73-years old. Whenever the subject of Elvis came up, it was always in a, "damn, that white boy can sing and dance like a Black guy! The music industry is dead a...

At the Bar: The Ankhesen Mié Library

http://www.ankhesen-mie.net/2012/05/ankhesen-mie-library.html

The Ankhesen Mié Library. Woe to the chained ones. And to the bead-wearers. Woe to the Old Tribes,. Your heartbeat, my heartbeat. Our sorrow, our song…. So goes the "Invocation", opening the very first poetry collection by Ankhesen Mié, and her third release after a three-year hiatus. Originally entitled The Smith Sundial. After one of the poems, Mié changed her mind when she wrote a poem inspired by the photo of a Maasai model. Available now from Amazon. The Woman from Cheshire Avenue. Originally publis...

The Black Girls Club: With Facebook Down, Let's Get Situated

http://www.theblackgirls.club/2017/01/with-facebook-down-let-get-situated.html

With Facebook Down, Lets Get Situated. So Facebook dismantled our page, which gives us the opportunity to explore new options, and a chance to return to our blogging roots. We are not unaware of the systemic targeting of Black-run pages, so a split from Facebook was probably inevitable. For the Black girls who code, sound off.we've got an idea in the works and now's your time to shine. January 2, 2017 at 6:32 PM. January 3, 2017 at 2:19 PM. January 3, 2017 at 9:43 PM. Lets do this ladies. Wowi shouldnt s...

The Black Girls Club: Black Girls' Night Out: Keating & Pratt

http://www.theblackgirls.club/2016/11/black-girls-night-out-keating-pratt.html

Black Girls' Night Out: Keating and Pratt. No one cares about Bonnie/Frank. I mean, where the hell did that even come from? No one cares about Laurel/Frank. No one cares about Laurel/Wes which.ewwww and also, huh? When did they supposedly fall so hard for each other that Wes felt compelled to dump a perfectly good sista? I mean, this was a blemish-free sista - why is this a favorite trope on television and why the hell is it happening in Shondaland? And why is Laurel always attached to some man? And I sh...

At the Bar: At the Bar

http://www.ankhesen-mie.net/2011/08/at-bar.html

In honor of my 100th and 101st followers, I figure I should do this post. I say all new (and old) patrons. Here at the bar need to get to know one another. You know; pal around and network a bit. Naturally, we'll start with Moi. Patrons can use a similar format if they choose. Ankh, Pygmy, "K". Vodka and vanilla rum. Duties at the bar. Tag, patrons. You're it. 8/18/11, 9:53 PM. Name: PlusSizedWomanist, Source Du Mal. Codename: PSW, Da Source. Superpower: Linguistically dicing racists to shreds. Poison(s)...

At the Bar: Open Mic Night: #POC adopting white children

http://www.ankhesen-mie.net/2015/05/open-mic-night-poc-adopting-white.html

Open Mic Night: #POC adopting white children. It made me think do white people view blacks as incapable of adopting a white child? Because the child would feel inadequate oh I'm just adopted! I spoke about my concerns with [my boyfriend] he told me "Bump what people think or say there will always be people finding faults in others anyways. I love you and want to have a family with you under God to love, protect and cherish". As many nerds already know, in the original Flash. Black man cast to mentor and ...

At the Bar: Underappreciated Actress of Color #15: Mamaengaroa

http://www.ankhesen-mie.net/2010/01/underappreciated-actress-of-color-15.html

Underappreciated Actress of Color #15: Mamaengaroa. Uh-uh, y'all; the folks Down Under aren't exempt. Maori-blooded Miss Mamaengaroa. Kerr-Bell (don't you just. Got her stellar, break-out role at the age of 16.by accident. As Grace Heke in the acclaimed. Depicted left), she brought tragedy and vulnerability to a violent tale of familial dysfunction and post-colonial cultural identity struggle. And yet, even though she kept acting after that, I still can't find a decent publicity photo of the woman. The b...
