In modernity many Black people speak to finding roots or gaining reparations or many other thing offline that require a collective power that does not exist or an individual power that does not exist. I am not suggesting said power will not become to a black group or black individual offline. But, I am certain it is easier for a black collective or individual task online to be successful. To that end, I cognize a nice way to show who black people are today, that can have value tomorrow , collectively or individually, is through individual sigils. The data storage for the sigils will be linked at the postend to this article. The comments to this post will be links to each sigil made, which is composed of the graphic, name, and url to main place online. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HXbBwMv3DtSogJnh7

Dear Readers, I tend to enjoy reading various articles on writing , the industry, the concepts, et cetera. parallel to craft articles. These topics can be fun or engaging. As some of you know, I have a controlled electronic footprint, meaning, I don't keep old posts. This blog never had fifteen posts and never will cause I don't like ejunk. But, I realize, aside my posts to what I created and create, I need a post to just chit chat if you will. So this post will serve that function, through its comments I will posts various topics concerning writing.

with so many bots that will only become more advanced it will be harder to manage @Troy

@Troy yeah, their internal organization changed and were guided to lose the openness. To be fair with so many websites restricting images and deviantart allowing adult images, i can comprehend why their accountants said it is a money lose to continue the embedding, but it is a shame. That is one of the reasons I like aalbc, you can guest comment still, though many websites are not allowing that anymore

Code GEass Submission In retrospect, I should had not placed the alias in there considering the color scheme, but I started at 9pm and wanted to make an honest art work. I chose calligraphy which is an art work i am interested in for another project later on, but I tell me how you like it. Sorry but Deviantart no longer allow embeds.

GLASS Submission story THE LINK TO THE DEVIANTART SUBMISSION- can't embed https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Semmi-Legens-son-of-Mr-Glass-side-mom-brother-793050008?ga_submit_new=10%3A1554782727 Two people are in a big food market, in a midweek morning. One in a skirt, grey patch in her afro, cardigan sweater for the cold, push a shopping cart. The other, in jeans, a fuck the police shirt on, play a video game mobile system while grabbing a strawberry corn flake cereal box. The woman misses grab the box from the video game player. The player goes to pick up the box from the floor, and hand it to the other. “Akeem, thank you”: and the woman focus back to a television report, grab some corn meal and place it in the cart. “Ma ma”: Akeem inquire. “I am okay”: reply his mother, and she continue to push the cart:” ... Akeem, when we get home, I must talk to you and your brother”. The two gather more food, pay for it, go home, and in their home put the food where it need to be, when not eaten. The mother goes in her room, while the children get goodies in the kitchen. She exits her room to the living room: “Akeem, Semmi, come here”. Akeem side a boy with black sunglasses on, a happy face sticker on one lens, a sad face sticker on the other, slowly walk from the kitchen to the living room. The sunglasses wearing boy hold apple juice in a cup, in one hand, and Akeem’s shirt, in the other. He releases Akeem, feel out, and touch a chair, and sit. Akeem sit next to him chewing taffy. Akeem’s mother sits across the two children and say:” I have something to tell you both, I don’t know if it is the right time, but I think you need to know two things and I can’t trust fate to give me time”. Akeem stare at Semmi. Semmi fidget. The mother continues:” The first thing you have in common, is I am your mother, and the second is... you both lost your fathers... Akeem, I told you your father died but I never said how, it was... I did not lie when I said it was an accident but I did not tell you the whole truth... Akeem your father was murdered by police, he was helping me move some boxes from my job and the police shot him, they claimed it was a false identity, in the end, the men who murdered your father did not go to jail and I received a civil court settlement, your father I missed so much, but I had a baby to raise so I focused on you and you grew... five years later, I went to a comic book shop one day and spoke to a fellow buyer, he said he never felt someone as gentle as me... I was lonely, and so we began dating, if you call... just sitting together while he listened to me talk, dating... anyway, one night, I went to kiss him, he seemed very worried but I gave him the kiss and he was not hurt, he said I was special but only one way to prove it... I gathered what he meant but, he seemed like he never made love to anyone, but I was so lonely... and so I … well it wasn’t necessarily easy... oh don’t look like that you two, I got...well we made love, the next day I told him I was pregnant, but the police came for this man and, he was killed”. Akeem or Semmi are silent, unmoving. Their mother continue: "one thing I can say for certain , both your fathers are already proud of you, two good boys, both with heavy challenges, but happy with life, no matter what happens, stick together, and know, you were both born out of love, no matter what the outer world says”. The mother rises from a living room chair and go to her room. She stops at her door and say:” you can both hang out in your room”. Akeem side Semmi are quiet. Semmi turn to Akeem: "do this mean I am not your brother?”. “no silly, this mean we have different dads but they both are gone”: Akeem do not turn, his face turns ponderous. He gets off a chair quick and hurry to his mom’s room door. Semmi shout: "wait brother”: he grabs his juice and remove his glasses, revealing all black eyes. But he moves after he hear his mother open her door. Akeem ask his mother:” did Semmi’s and have any relatives?”. His mother reply, while moving to put Semmi’s glasses back on: "I think he had a mother but I don’t know where she is”. Akeem look down, and his mother kneel and beckon him into an embrace: “I love you two so much, hug me please”. And Akeem side Semmi hug their mom. She says, while embracing: "our neighbors, Ms Helen, Ms Sarah, and Ms Lilian, love you two too, and you have fun with their children... and I know they can be wild but Mr. Wiz and Mr. Rashee love you too”. She releases them while still touching them and say: "we can have a movie night tonight”. Akeem side Semmi smile and their mother say:” ok, off to your room and have fun”. She watches her children go to their room and breath deep and enter her room. 14 years later A doorbell rings. A door opens gently and a man thinly built but a strong height, with a dashiki and a side bag, face the door openness. She moves to hug him and he welcome her embrace, and she say: "your brother is in the living room, c'mon”. The man has a Fuck The USA button on his bag and he calmly walk to the living room table where another male, get up and greet him. The other male is in a well ironed while affordable in price suit, his all black eyes looking straight to his brother. They embrace and Semmi ask: "How is the vision business”. “Picked up since last week, it seem more people believe in many things... how is the journey of a young lawyer”: Akeem query. “Still beginning”: Semmi side Akeem sit down. Their mother sit opposite them, a small box on the living room table, and speak: "when I was a girl the doctor said I had an odd heart, a birth defect the doctor said, my parents were broke, had no money for any doctor visits but raised me the best they could in Fayette Mississippi, my parents said it was a blessing from god, I don’t know but I know I always had a way to calm people around me, as it something about me soothed them, even to this day I remember my doctor, when I could afford one, saying my heart sounded beautiful, I am no adventurer but I try to calm things down, I try to be h... last week, we all saw the videos and I realized, I made my own fate... Akeem you once asked me if Semmi’s father had relatives, well he does, but two letters was sent to me, one I was asked to read to you both...here it is... Dear boys, my name is Mr. Glass and I wish I could had met you. It is possible you saw the truth and even if you didn’t I know you know you are special, not freaks, not monsters, not mistakes, listen to your mother, she is special too, and live your life free”. Akeem side Semmi look to each other. Akeem ponder: "so... Semmi’s father, is Mr. Glass?”. “yes Akeem”: say their mother. Semmi try to get angry but is still: "why ma, why didn’t you tell me”. His mother reply: "that your father orchestrated that horrible train crash, I didn’t trust a five-year-old to know that, but a nineteen-year-old, young lawyer, yes”. Semmi ponder:” ... so that is it, I thought maybe one of our father’s was alive or something more, the way you spoke on the phone”: Semmi slouch in disappointment. Akeem interject: "you said Semmi’s dad had a relative”. Their mother smile: "yes, his mother, for twenty years I kept up with her, letters only and only sparsely... Elijah said to do this when I told him I was pregnant, that and other things”. Semmi interject: "people online say this prove the existence of nephilim, demi gods, superheroes... I”. Their mother put out her hands and Akeem or Semmi grab one, in calm. She say:”Semmi, the doctors said you were blind, never able to see, your cornea mutation an extremely rare thing, like they told my parents about me, yet who walks outside without a cane, and though it is difficult at times, you see well enough in your own way, Akeem, they had you on drugs as a baby, afraid atrophy would step in with your severe REM bouts, doctors say it had genetic leanings, though no recollection exists, you had a vision of your father’s death as a boy and with respirators for your sleep, were happy, yes, your body suffers now because you go into REM sleep more regularly, but here you are, you help people... you both do... I am no demigod, no superhero, I can’t say if you are superheroes, but you damn sure ain’t nephilim... but, I gave birth to you both with a heart deemed weak, and you are my loving boys, whose gifts may offer challenges but are also gifts, the world simply has to face the reality this house always knew, I”. A knock on the door. “Semmi, get the door”: say his mother. Semmi wait for another knock or bell ring and the doorbell ring. Semmi go to the door, and open it. An elder black woman immediately hugs him. Akeem rise from his chair and look to the door. The elder black woman continues to embrace Semmi, who is hugging deeply, and look to the living room table: "you too baby, Elijah did not help make you, but you are his son too”. Akeem look to his mother, and she smile. Akeem go to the front door:” thank you Ms. Price”. Ms Price touch Akeem face and say: "call me grandma”. Akeem embrace Ms. Price. His mother watches awhile as Ms. Price, Akeem, or Semmi embrace. Semmi have a thought: "let's cook for you grandma”. “good idea bro”: say Akeem. “but I want to catch up”: reply Ms. Price. She receives a kiss on either cheek. “we will have time”: reply Akeem. “unless you are going somewhere”: ask Semmi. Ms. Price smile as they go to the elevator. Their mother meets Ms. Price. Ms. Price say: "thanks Ethel... but I have to ask”. Ethel interject:” they do not seem to know, and if I can help it, that will remain secret, they may discover later that Elijah set up Akeem’s father, but, for now... let us all be happy” if you like more stories from me, check out my work on kobo MY WORK

If you are interested each is embedded in the article linked immediately below https://shadowandact.com/black-web-series-spring-2019

I said it didn't I , i said it. I knew the switch was on. Though I like his ending. it has the you make up the next part , which is a good way to end these horror/myteries. The theme of race and the impoverished, the impoverished in this case frankenstonian doppelgangers, I recall the twilight zone where the woman is telling everyone that she saw another her and no one believes her and then they send her into an insane asylum and then the guy who didn't believe her sees his doppelganger. The consumerism in the usa, the governmental laxness through three letter groups is present in the story. But, nice. https://shadowandact.com/the-ending-of-us-explained-review thoughts? Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNCmb-4oXJA&feature=youtu.be IN AMENDMENT 3-23-2019 2:37 pm There is a god. SOme reviewers have opined, why didn't the tethered just leave the escalator or why didn't adelaide , noble natured or adel aide <adel is an older form of ethel > noble does not mean good it means scientific or knowledgeable- having knowledge has nothing to do with goodness or badness, leave from the tunnels. One of the big flaws from all the reviewers is the assumptions after seeing the story about the content before the story, the unseen prestory. It is assumed that Adelaide's parents are nontethered. It is assumed the project was a failure. Adelaide state the project was a failure based on what she saw or discover in the caves, but i do not recall anyone who actually was behind the project state it was flawed, that is assumption. Sequentially, the true nature to any of the supposed tethered or untethered is unknown. thus, when the born above ground adelaide is captured by the born under ground adelaide, it is clear that the tethered may be born with a soul sometimes and the untethered may be born absent a sould sometimes. The one character we are forgetting in any christian based apocalyptic story is that of the anti christ. Adelaide above and below ground is the mirror of the jesus/antichrist dichotomy. One thing the story suggest, the world beneath ground is a mirror. The above ground adelaide's parents who argued continuously and didn't notice their child wander off who then go to find her and do not know she was switched can only be paralleled by tether parents who plan in positive concert and guide their adelaide . born under the ground, to use the escalators and make the switch. But this also mean, the above ground adelaide was assisted by the under ground variants to her parents to get free from the chained bed unlike the above ground parents who sent the under ground child to a mental prison, to be aided. And like any apocalyptic christian story, jesus wins after the antichrist wins. But, who is jesus, the above ground adelaide sent into "hell" who became a bellious leader absent a well thought out plan and still holding onto immature sensibilities OR the under ground adelaide who stole into "heaven" and became a loving wife or mother hiding away from any responsibilities or acknowledgements from her past with a hyper mature survival instinct? At the end of the film, the above ground adelaide is dead but her movement lives on, while the under ground adelaide is alive, but her secret is known by at least one while her reality is suspected by all. To the boy, Jason, he is not tethered or untethered, born above ground or underground. He is both. He is the bridge,he is the mulatto. The rules of the tethered idea are based on non miscegenation. But both jason have a tethered side untethered parent, thus why their link is deeper than any other characters. He is not killing a tethered but in truth killing a part to himself, and oddly enough, the born under ground adelaide is his best teacher. As he as an aspect of himself, a secret essence that like her, is hard to comprehend. It is not that his mother is not who she is. But, with his mother not being born under the ground, what does that make him? If adelaide is not the christ/antichrist embodiment, Jason is. Finally, I just wanted proof that I was right , and this was inspired by a twilight zone episode. I quote Its initial inspiration, appropriately enough, was the old Twilight Zone episode “Mirror Image,” which he saw as a kid. In it, a woman encounters her duplicate in a bus station and becomes convinced it arrived from a parallel universe, bent on replacing her. “It’s terrifying, beautiful, really elegant storytelling,” Peele says, “and it opens up a world. It opens up your imagination.” https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-features/director-jordan-peele-new-movie-cover-story-782743/

CLICK anywhere in the image above and it will take you to a story, click on the tale to go back Richard Murray Collages Book 2 The following Collage ebook ,similar content to the slide above,is based on the 1985 film legend. The Collage was interesting as the themes of Evil/Love/Fairies/Demons encircled each other. Legend source story is more romantic and the Evil is not as straightforward as some will like to think, to be fair it is darkness not evil. Like the prior week , Please use the kobo mobile app to view. Please tell me your thoughts in private message if you are part of my email list or in guest comment here... Lastly, I am pondering what the next collage book should reference, the private collage series will involve black stories like john henry or three the hard way getting the treatment, so any ideas to another non black story you will like me to collage? https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/richard-murray-collages-book-2 Links exist below to view the film or read the scripts. the film for those that do not know https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M7N_TSZdic Legend first script- one of the finest scripts I have ever read in terms of flat out imagination and beauty. the opening scene with the princess needed to be made http://www.figmentfly.com/legend/script3a.html Legend second script with the truest darkness- the black unicorn, lovely http://www.figmentfly.com/legend/script3b.html Legend third script made into the film http://www.figmentfly.com/legend/script3c.html COLLAGES LIST THE FIRST POWER LEGEND - look above ? Who is next, give me a suggestion

Richard Murray Collages Book 1 Good day all, in my attempt to find a way to make the following epub functional on all systems I took time I hoped to present it to you before next month. As hinted, I was unsuccessful in making the epub functional in every ereader but I can confirm that if you read the epub in the kobo app it can be accessed and viewed appropriately. Now, what is the epub? Well, it is as the title to this blog entry suggest, Richard Murray Collages Book 1 . It is the epub version to the zenith power collage placed below. I realized after gaining reply that the length or style to my collage needed adjusting. To that end, I hopefully made this form more functional to my readers. But, gardless, I hope you enjoy this. It is free to download so all that is lacking is your interest. If you want more context to the story or how this idea came about read from the boldened or capitalized text "the zenith power collage" below. As it is, this is the 1st in this series and the next story I will make a collage from is the 1985 film Legend. As always your thoughts are welcome to the stories <please tell me your favorite photo> , or to the epub structure, or any other art or design topic. Be Safe https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/richard-murray-collages-book-1 THE ZENITH POWER COLLAGE 6-28-2017 The following is an update to the original post, appended below the following. From the beginning my goal was to make a screenplay publicly. I admit, I was going to use regular text but luckily found a kobo writing life blog post from Chris Mandeville which gave me the idea to make a collage to begin the process. I thought that was a nice artful way to engender a public view to where WE will go. But, while I was making the collage I already knew I wanted to make a powerpoint for it, with fragments, not complete stories even flash stories. But, fragments, not even spell checked. I wrote them all rawly and intending for them to be discussed or debated. Thus, here is my Zenith Power Fragment Collage. With this tool you guys can note the particular fragments you like, suggest or discuss possibilities where we can go next. Remember, if you are not a member of African American Literary Book Club you can still comment as a guest. I ask that you do so and use whatever monicker from the esocial world you use, so I know it is you. Ignore, the link button on the first page, it is only if people embed or link to the powerpoint in other places away from here. Just click anywhere on the image below outside the link button to begin. One last note...:) I used the side panel space to link to my other ebooks so click where it does not seem like a book cover. Well, what say you?! If you want another structure, Here are my Writing Islands, will you or have you made one THE FOLLOWING PUBLISHED ON JUNE 10th 2017 Chris Mandeville presented her collage to a story she wrote and that made me think. Why not present a collage to a story I have pondered and we can discuss collages in an open story, one in which i create in public. Below is my collage to my tentatively titled "The Zero Power" based on one of my favorite films from the 80s , the first power, starring lou diamond phillips. It is similar to the film, Fallen, starring Denzel washington, i dare say its predecessor, not a prequel but the same kind of villain. and in both movies,a non beleiving cop in spiritual matters, at least to the level of possession, is warned and does not heed it, and the criminal after murder by the state, spiritually possesses others, against their will and is allowed to act free. In the First Power, more abilities are gained over time while in fallen it is just the one and in both, the end does not convince that the negative spirit is killed. Though in first power, it seems a negative spirit possessed the murderer, while in fallen the murderers spirit is itself the actor. A few things come to mind, some openings, first the story is not confined. the cause to this negativity is not made clear or who is supporting it is not made clear. All the main characters roles are up in the air, is russ's character possessed or not. who taught seaton and will she grow, what is her true role? the spirit of marguerite is not dead but where is it, what role will she play especially concerning the christian church that opposed invovlement so, i went about making a collage.I first got photos of the people. And i saw the shape of a cross, lou diamond atop, korber the bottom, arlen and williamson to the wings, griffith centrally. between Russ(lou diamond) and the killer(korber) is the nun(arlen), the seer(griffith) and the friend(williamson). but then i had a bunch of pieces in my mind: ancient church to satan in spain and zealots in california populated around korber, then excommunicated christian nun next to arlen. I think to late believer to Williamson. I thought seer in love to griffith.lastly, to lou diamond i thought , sleeping christian knight. This is what I came up with to the story, The Zero Power, which I am thinking of calling The Zenith Power instead. If you read the rundown, which I place below for those unfamiliar to the story, you will comprehend, why Zero and then Zenith. After you read the rundown or from your general thoughts, any ideas to what images I should add to the collage:) video full film - better screen text story synopsis http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099578/synopsis?ref_=ttpl_pl_syn wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_First_Power Collage reference https://kobowritinglife.com/2017/05/19/cut-paste-your-way-to-inspiration-with-collages/comment-page-1/#comment-83993 IF you do not know the film, here is a rundown, it was written by Robert Resnikoff -It starts with a nun (Elizabeth arlen) referring to the book of revelation mentioning a link between certain murders and symbols of the devil.

Newsletter Fragments 33/34/35/36/37 Edition 33 pinterest - i can not recall how many articles I read where someone gave the great strategy on using communal networks in the world wide web, which itself is in the internet... anyway, facebook , twitter, instagram, are funny websites in one key way, they each pay well known people to be on their website which then attracts the less known people, who are the ninety nine percent of the human populace. But then as artists we are told to traverse these sites as if their popularity wasn't based on fiscal rigging. The key to success online is as I stated in the article using the following in quotes "... I am not on pinterest. I think that wherever an author is on, if they don't spend the time to truly engage their, then it is not a place for the authors profile" Too many people use facebook as a personal platform, i dont think it is wise using any platform for personal as well as business as well as private. that is why facebook has all these security concerns now. https://kobowritinglife.com/2019/02/11/5-pinterest-tips-for-authors/ Edition 34 Chaka Khan - first album in 12 years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RecY5iZn6B0&feature=youtu.be False Civility - My thoughts on False Civility in art, video or transcript in the link below https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/194-richard-murray-creative-table/?page=5&tab=comments#comment-501 Edition 35 black doll -First black doll store in rio de janiero, good luck to her. https://blackwomenofbrazil.co/first-black-doll-store-in-brazil-to-open-in-rio-in-a-market-where-black-dolls-only-make-up-7-of-the-total-founder-estimates-she-will-sell-10000-per-month/ Edition 36 Ile Aye - Daniele Nobre is the Deusa do Ébano, goddess of ebony, she competed eight times before https://g1.globo.com/ba/bahia/carnaval/2019/noticia/2019/02/17/fotos-ile-aiye-elege-40a-deusa-do-ebano-2019-com-presenca-de-gil-caetano-e-daniela.ghtml Bumblebee - some makers made a bumblebee transformer wheelchair, if you are interested in how read the article, the video is embedded within https://makezine.com/2019/02/08/watch-these-makers-transform-a-wheelchair-into-an-interactive-bumblebee-costume/ Edition 37 Dungeons and Dragons Requiem - the final episode of Dungeons and dragons- I placed more pertinent links in the email newsletter, message me on aalbc to join up dungeons and dragons Audiovisual https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4WFXW-BzPk Sanatambo Adinkra - I have placed the demo example of Sanatambo Adinkra.
