Week 2 of Bettsfic writing workshop

Main post where I describe elements of me paying attention in the week and developing a story concept based on it

Poetry based on things i paid attention to

Stageplay, using the character of Sarah from Innocent Little Margaret , having elements from the Pay Attention

What artists has truly inspired you, pick one? 

asked by RTNightmare

August Wilson, the playwright. He wrote the play Fences which was made into a film with Viola Davis side Denzel Washington. I also saw those thespians on stage.

why has august wilson inspired me more than other artists who have inspired me? 

I must first say I can make this comment book length on why. But, I will focus on how August Wilson inspires me in an uncommon way. 

...

Art in all forms or fashions is unbounded in what humans can create/intake from it. Unfortunately while inevitably, all art is influenced by the relationship humans have to each other. Art from individuals in a human community that is subservient to another human community can become trapped in or show shackles from the reality beyond the individual imagination. 

August Wilson's plays are clearly set in Black communal spaces in the usa, but are not devoid the presence of potency from the white community in the usa. While the black characters or their space is not caricatured, an exaggeration, nor is the potency from whites outside of black spaces caricatured. 

Finally, the resulting message, all art has messages <yes, even the absence of a message is a message> , doesn't pigeonhole the spectator whether Black or non Black into a guided mindset. 

All my words above are give a short explanation to the difficulty in making art that publicly involves race while not caricaturing any race or guiding the mindset of those who ingest said art on how they shall think. 

The audience is not a fool, no one is, we all know the world beyond the individual imagination, whether we like it or not. 

But seeing with my own eyes, various peoples who clearly share different opinions, leave a theater with the same mindset they came in while experiencing a story that is specific and in every element relates to the various battles or histories outside the theater. 

That is not common for artists. 

To be blunt, Barbie from ruth handler, for colored girls from Ntozake Shange , Huckleberry finn from mark twain, various films from spike lee, the little mermaid films from disney... a long list of highly acclaimed beloved art, doesn't allow for interaction by all races without caricaturing a race or trying to massage minds to change while being clearly racial in design. 

That unique quality is what August Wilson was able to achieve as a writer and that ability to achieve a unique quality puts the spirt in me to achieve different but just as unique qualities in my own craft.

I Sit And Think 

from JRR Tolkien

I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.

I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall never see.

For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green.

I sit beside the fire and think
of people long ago,
and people who will see a world
that I shall never know.

But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.

A Couple That Stretches Together Stays Together

from zohameanslight

Harlem of Yore

1930 Harlem, I think circa 135th street madison

Enlistment into Ethiopia, which is why Ras Tafari commonly called Haille Selassie publicly offered land in Ethiopia in Harlem afterward. Ras Tafarians from Jamaica took the chance but it was meant for Black Harlemites.

Do you say what you really want if empowered?

From said time in Harlem to now, many black people in the USA suggest they want a world of equality but is that true? I argue many groups in the USA, not empowered, don't want equality, simply want to replace white/christian/heterosexual/men... but is that a negative desire, now that is the question?

Accessibility Interview

My Thoughts

I thought about accessibility. If accessibility was considered from the beginning of most processes it would undo alot of the schemes/scams/ aspects of entertainment/social media/wesbites or other. 
For example, I like the mandolorian show from Disney. If someone is blind and they can't see the Mandolorian maybe they have an audio read version available. So they can hear each episode absent commercials. But imagine if you are listening to an on demand film, like Godzilla,  like from TNT of the warner bros group in Discovery. Imagine you hear:"this thing killed my wife!, have you ever had bad bowels, Well try..." The commercial break is by default a terrible element. For someone who can only hear they are bound to hear a commercial where those with sight can mute and move on and come back. 
Accessibility if engineered optimally will delete many methods of commercialization in entertainment or media through electronic means.

Is Anime Art

The following is a question and answer I placed for the description

Do you think anime is art? Why/why not?

of course anime is art, to be blunt, anime is an artistic movement that is centuries old based on art from Nippon, that like all movements has variations. 

What do you think as beauty in Art?
Beauty in art is complex because, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

- As a viewer, what is the first thing you look for in artwork?
first thing, i tend to find in art, not look for in art, but I read and view a lot of various art styles. One of the things about growing up in NYC as a kid, I was fortunate to have parents utilize the cities museums which cover all styles of art.

- As an artist, what do you value the most while creating?
spreading my imagination

DATES

• 13th- Venus is between the Earth and Sun
• 15th- Venus|Moon conjunction; Ignacio Anaya Garcia born 1895, inventor of the nacho
• 16th- New Moon ; Moon at Apogee- Moon is farthest from earth while the moon is on the ecliptic, the path of the sun in the sky , but on the opposite side of earth, thus it can not be seen cause it is in the earth's shadow. I think this should make this the least dark new moon as the moon is farthest from earth.
• 17th - Cat's nights < a poem https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/261-good-news-blog-stories-through-a-year/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-943> in old ireland they say a witch can turn herself into a cat eight times, one a day from the 9th to the 16th , but if she turn herself into a cat on the 17th, a ninth time , she can not turn back bwahahaha! Cat's have nine lives:) ; 1978 first atlantic ocean crossing balloon flight, the Double Eagle 2 < Balloons are not dirigibles, balloons use a flexible material to house the material at rest or excited, like hot air, while a dirigible places material in a rigid structure. So for example, a balloon or a dirigible can be filled with hydrogen, a gas lighter than air. The Balloon casing will be lighter than the dirigible which is solid but the dirigible casing will protect the volatile hydrogen from being influenced from outside better on average than a balloon the casing plus the dirigible casing will allow greater pressures inside on average than a balloon casing. In parallel, the balloon casing is lighter so you need less hydrogen. The first dirigible to cross the atlantic ocean was the Deutsches Luftschiff Zeppelin 127 of germany in 1928>
• 18th- Mercury|Moon = Mars|Moon conjunction
• 19th - Moon on Equator. The center of the moon plus the center of the earth make a straight line at the equator of the earth.

What is a B movie

Explained in a short history from Turner Classic Movies

But, before you view.  My thought...

At the end of the day, the studio system for the television was treated like the railroads for the car. Two working systems were busted up under the guise of antitrust, but functionally to aid a new industry in not having to deal with an old one that will be in recovery because of the changes. You can add it is like the Ma Bell being broken up when the Internet starts rolling strong. 
In retrospect , the film industry never recovered and now like Ma bell, like the trains, has recombinated after being forcefully broken up but the damage of those years has hurt the financial methodology.

Are you Eloi or Morlock?

I am an Eloi. The traveler didn't traverse everywhere, somewhere else the local morlocks had ate most of the local eloi and began to eat themselves, eventually, the local morlocks murdered themselves off, and most of the local eloi died off of starvation. But the eloi who survived used the local green palance and lucked up to learning. they thrived by one time invites from individuals among  other tribes of morlocks or eloi who  went against the grain. One day they left eart, the traveler, never knew of this clan of eloi.

Gratitude

Gratitude some say is being thankful or giving good will but in modernity I will suggest the best way to describe gratitude is spreading positivity to be positive. No one owes you positivity back for being positive to them just to be positive yourself. But, sharing positivity to be positive I think, is the best deterrent to negativity in all its forms as well as positivity for negative sake.
Speaking focusedly , as an artist, all other artists work i see allows me to absorb positivity even absent intent, cause the creativity to make any art can only add in the door stop of imagination to the door of the mind.  

DATES

Earliest second phase Africanfuturism

free to read in completion

https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/390-earliest-africanfuturism/

Everyone joins the Black complaint line in the usa

Growing up in the black community in the USA you always hear elders speak of nonviolent striving. The concept is simple. Follow the law, become a fiscal capitalistic mastermind, and you will wear down or upend the powers that be who allow themselves illegal growth or cheat fiscal capitalistic rules for their betterment.

But what you learn time and again as a Black person is not the futility of nonviolence. Nonviolence is not futile. But it has impotency against violent power. In the USA those in power achieved that power through violence. Nonviolence can't undo or overcome  that power to the enslaved/restricted/limited/impotent, it never has in human history< ethiopia/china/cuba/haiti/ireland unlike their peers or similars didn't achieve through nonviolence and the reason is clear> and I argue nonviolence will never undo violent power< if gandhi's movement in india, if the nonviolent adamant black community of tulsa oklahoma , if the native american's hyper green lifestyle long before the green movement of white hippies couldn't overcome violence, how can less honest or less focused attempts succeed?> 

I am not advocating violence from blacks to whites or the government system in the usa ... i am not advocating any impotent group utilize violence in the usa to their oppressor... but I am stating a simple historical fact. Power matters, power through violence isn't to be scoffed at, ownership through violence has a strength that is very strong. Those without the ability to gain power through violence or ownership through violence are not futile or dysfunctional but they have a ceiling of potency.

Now the following are two pleas. One from a latino of the usa and one from a woman of the usa, asking when the anglo, male, white owners or powerful will share power or share ownership?
