DJ Female Convict Scorpion — Paradise Re-Lost (Self-released)

The Christian poetry of John Milton and the idiosyncratic turntablism of Josh Pollock, better known as DJ Female Convict Scorpion, are not an intuitive match. That’s an important thing to note, given the deeply strange quality of Pollock’s music, in which intuition seems crucial. Some of us first encountered DJ Female Convict Scorpion releases as unlabeled CDrs circulating in the mails (especially the several volumes of Clash Ups, from Pollock’s “Anti-Social Remix” series) and were fascinated. It takes Pollock’s particular variety of intuition to suspect that isolating Jowe Head’s gonzo vocal from the Swell Maps’ “Full Moon in My Pocket” would sound both disturbing and great if you soak it in reverb and let it play; or that the interminable drum solo of Led Zep’s “Moby Dick” would become completely transfixing if you laid a scrim of tortured theremin over it. It isn’t paradise, exactly, but you don’t feel any desire to leave.

Leaving, return and loss are crucial themes in Milton’s Protestant poem in blank verse. Many children of the 1980s (hello) did the forced march through Paradise Lost (1667), the more famous part of Milton’s epic — and some of us ended up being very glad that we did. Few literary treatments of Christian myth get anywhere close to the majesty of Milton’s language, and the verse’s strange interplay of a rough-hewn austerity and a begrudging engagement with poetry’s eros ends up being particularly useful for understanding American puritanisms, old and new. You can try to keep that libidinal power repressed and submerged, but it always returns. There’s a reason why Satan is the most interesting thing in Paradise Lost.

Of course, Milton attempted to correct for that interest. Paradise Regained (1671) focuses on the story of the Christ and the establishment of the new covenant with humanity forged by his sacrifice, if you believe that sort of thing. Many of us do not. The narrative is flat, and the mythic scale that thrills in Paradise Lost is — well, lost. Pollock’s Paradise Re-Lost riffs on the dynamic of delight and its loss with a score for a ballet by Nostus Tanztheater, based in Heidelberg. N.B., dear reader, the dance company really exists, but this reviewer was able to find no evidence of the ballet, nor did Milton ever write Paradise Re-Lost, a “third part” of his Christian epic, which Pollock credits as source material. It may be that, in a Satanic gesture of his own, Pollock’s impulse to fuck around with culture has reached a new intensity of pranksome mischief.

You may hear traces of mischievous fun in some of the titles of tracks on Paradise Re-Lost: “Eden Disorder,” “Mephisto Birkenstock” and so on. But the music is mostly more serious. Massive, creepy churchbells toll, sounding as if captured on some degraded cassette tape, at the record’s outset. Soon, the inimitable Nina Simone emerges from the moody morass of a DJ Female Convict Scorpion soundscape: some tense brass, a mournfully lovely flute, more theremin — one imagines the streets of Bedlam set-dressed in late-1940s Frisco noir. And Simone is doing her thing on George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord” (you can find the full, joyous and outraged performance on her record Emergency Ward, most of which was recorded at a 1971 live gig at Fort Dix, and it’s insanely good…): “I really want to see you, lord / But I’m afraid it’s too late.” Nobody could express indignant sorrow like Simone. Milton gets close.

In much of DJ Female Convict Scorpion’s music, mood is more important than thematic coherence, and the mood of Paradise Re-Lost is downcast and anxious. There are lots of horns that sound drawn from late-1960s free jazz, a lot of haunted piano, pealing chimes and taut acoustic guitar tangles. Tension builds and builds and goes nowhere. One is tempted to read that as a gesture toward critique of Christian morality, which poses the next world as the ultimate truth, as if our actions on this material plane are secondary, less real. Given just how shitty this world has become, it’s a tempting proposition to give in to. But some of us still believe (or at least want to believe) in material experience and in the value of good works in the here and now, for their own sake. Lots of luck with that.

In spite of loss, some things seem to endure. Pollock reaches deep into our collective cultural imaginary at the close of Paradise Re-Lost, situating the vocal of Anne Briggs’ version of the sea shanty “Lowlands Away” in a glistening, slick mid-1970s soft-rock arrangement. It’s hard to tell what the gesture signifies. The shanty is lovely but sad to its core. The musical accompaniment feels like a warm bath, which sweetens the sadness rather than negating it. In our current period of interregnum, awaiting fascism and its savaging of the bare vestiges of the liberal administrative state, there is a fragile sense of sweetness to this time: holidays and their invocations of relative constants. But atop the treacly surfaces, we know that these bright, clear autumnal skies, with their gem-hard blue, will soon fill with something different. The strains of “Hail to the Chief,” the smell of smoke and something worse than Satan.

Master Notes:

Decent capture of this show. Whenever Terry Mann is on stage it's a fancam. The first 20 minutes are completely blindly filmed so i defaulted to wideshotting most of it. Due to usher activity a lot of the show is shot this way, whenever he left i could zoom and such, second big issue with this video is the obstruction. The people in front of me never stopped moving and they kept getting into my shot constantly so there is a lot of obstruction that i try my absolute best to avoid.Some washout, shakiness and readjusting throughout.

Winnie met Joshua Pollock on the night of her 18th birthday. It was the kind of southern summer night where the air was thick with dust and humidity. She and her girlfriends had dolled themselves up in denim skirts and too much perfume, all giggles and bare shoulders as they squeezed into the front row of the Nashville rodeo. 

Josh was the name on everyone’s lips. The boys knew him as the best up-and-coming rider in the state, and the girls knew him as the dreamboat with the dimples deep enough to stop traffic. When they watched him ride out, all control and grace, Winnie felt the ground shift beneath her boots.

They didn’t meet until after, of course. One of the handlers found her near the exit, sipping a Coke and laughing at something her friend said. “You,” he said, pointing at her. “Josh wants to meet you.” And just like that, she was being led behind the arena, through rows of trailers humming under floodlights. She told herself to stay cool, but her heart was already halfway to falling.

The trailer smelled minty, clean — and felt a little warm and moist, like someone had just showered. Josh was stretched out on the bench seat, shirt half-buttoned with a little cocky grin playing at his lips; damp blonde hair falling into his eyes. 

He was older than Winnie, but softer than she expected. Calmer. He offered her the seat beside him and asked if she’d had fun. They talked for hours — about horses, hometowns, how neither of them really liked beer but drank it anyway. He was charming and sweet, the kind of boy who’d open your car door and slap the back of a guy who looked at you too long. 

By the end of that week, he was calling her darlin’. By the end of that month, he was picking her up from her mama’s house with the windows down and a hand on her thigh. She moved in that fall. A little one-bedroom outside the city with a busted screen door and mismatched dishes — but it was home. She kept his fridge stocked, his clothes clean, kissed him goodbye before every ride and patched him up afterward. She knew what it meant to be a good woman, and she did it gladly.

Time proved he had a temper, but what hard-working man didn’t? He could get quiet when he was angry, withdrawn in a way that made you work to earn his smile again, but he loved like a furnace, full and hot and all-consuming. He worked. He didn’t complain. He made her feel like she was the center of the whole damn universe. They got married when she was 19, in their little church with a handmade bouquet, and it felt like the beginning of forever.

She didn’t realize, back then, how quickly forever could start to crack.

It happened on a warm spring afternoon. Josh was tossed from a bucking horse, hard. Landed wrong. Winnie watched it from the stands and froze as the crowd stood, as the medics ran, as his body stayed still. A fractured back, they said. Months of recovery.

She thought they’d survive anything, but she hadn’t yet met the version of Josh who came home from that fall.

Amongst The Stars: Chapter Four

Josh x Quinn (Nonbinary OC)

Warnings: Shitty partner (again), mentions of cannabis, an Accidental date, Pining (a lot of it), Thinking your friends are hot (platonically?), Verbal arguments, Willa knowing too much. 

Word Count: 4.6k Summary: Josh has always loved love,  and he's finally found it. Buuuut, he can't exactly tell anyone. Join him as he navigates the ins and outs of his sweet, secret romance. Author's Note: Have you ever been on an accidental date? I have a friend who has been on three because she just can’t tell when a guy is trying to get to know her better versus when they’re being friendly. She is married. 

Bowl of Oranges - Bright Eyes  “I think I’m cured No, in fact, I’m sure of it Thank you, stranger for your therapeutic smile” 

I sit at the kitchen table, flipping through my notebook of potential lesson plans for the upcoming week. I keep many options available, so it's always hard to choose. Papier-mâché animal masks could be fun, but I'd need to go to Hobby Lobby to get supplies. I nix that idea and move on to the next. We could do a Jackson Pollock unit, but I’d need to check the weather. There is no way I'm letting these gremlins throw paint indoors. I pull out my phone to check the weather app and let out a giant sigh when I see that we’re scheduled for rain every day this week starting tomorrow. As I dive back into my planning book, I'm interrupted by Craig barreling into the room. “Do you plan on actually doing anything around here today?” He practically yells out. It’s been a few weeks since he had his little “come to Jesus” moment, and whatever niceness he had in him seems to be wearing off. He’s been picking fights again over the smallest things. He’s even started making snide comments when I have to make another trip to Hobby Lobby. “Interesting how you always just seem to be out of something for your classroom! I’m not great at math, but it seems improbable that you’d need something every single week.” I slowly blink and look around the room, taking in the clutterless counters and decidedly empty sink, before gazing back at him. 

“What do you mean, Craig?”  “It’s just a mess around here, and you’ve been holed away at the kitchen table all morning.” 

I take one more look around before crossing my arms over my chest. 

“If there's a mess in here, you made it. I cleaned the entire house before I went to bed last night,” I grit out, “though I don't suppose you would have noticed because you were so engrossed in your Xbox.” I watch as he flounders for a moment, mouth opening and closing as his brain attempts to find the words to respond. He’s not used to me talking back to him, so I relish the reaction I've gotten out of him. Before he can find a new way to criticize me, I stand up from my chair and say, “Gonna have to cut this short, babe. I have work to do. For my job.” 

I gather my items from the table and put them back in the canvas messenger bag I use for schoolwork. 

“You’re being so mean.”  “I’m being mean because I’m the only one who does anything around here. I work full time, I am in school full time, I cook, I clean, I wash your dirty fucking underwear, and you come in here and ask if I’m going to do anything around here today?” I glance at his outfit, finally realizing what he’s wearing, and it only adds one more layer to my annoyance. “Oh! Real nice, Craig. You go into my closet,” I tug at the sleeve of the garishly patterned grandpa sweater he has on, “and you take my clothes. Then you waltz in here trying to start a fight?”  “…All my sweaters are dirty.”  “Do you know what functional adults do when their clothes are dirty? They start a load of laundry.”  “You just do it better than I do, babe,” he shoots back with a cocky grin.  I exhale sharply, shaking my head. Oh, to have the audacity of a cis white man, I think.  “Sorry bout your luck. I’m going to Higher Grounds so I can focus on my work.”

Leaving him no time to respond, I sling my bag over my shoulders and make my way to the door. I slide on my worn Blundstone boots and grab my corduroy jacket off the hook. I toss a quick “Bye, text me if you need anything” behind me and head out.  -------------------------------------------

I set my canvas bag down at one of the outdoor tables and headed into the cafe to order a latte. I stand behind a group of apparent tourists, silently begging them to decide what kooky, zany little treat they should get from Portland’s Very First Weed Cafe! That they only found out about through Trip Advisor. I have to calm down. I can't just think mean things about these people because I feel crabby over Craig. I’m not even technically a local, myself. I give myself a little shake to get out of my internal funk and decide to get lost in the beautiful murals that litter the walls. No matter how many times I come here, the artistry will never cease to amaze me. The way the artist seamlessly moves from cool, starry blues into bright, sunny oranges. All surrounded by smoke and foliage. The way each side of the mural is a mirror image of the other side, but it represents duality. Night and Day, Dark and Light. 

“Quinn?” I jump as someone behind me calls my name. I turn around to see a mop of curly hair bounding toward me.  “Josh! It’s so good to see you! I feel like I never see you out and about.”  “Well, it is The Lord’s Day and all. Hobby Lobby is required to grant me this one day of rest.” he lets out a small chuckle at his joke, and I find myself laughing with him. “Too true. How silly of me to forget. I’ve been away from the South for too long.”  “That does seem to be the case, dear. How scandalous of you to overlook the Sabbath.” 

I giggle, stepping up to the counter now that the customers in front of me have ordered and moved on. 

“What do you want, Josh? I’m buying.” I gesture for him to order. “Oh, I- I couldn't.” “I insist. Now hurry up, or we’ll be nearly as bad as them,” I gently incline my head toward the group waiting on drinks. The barista hides a laugh behind their hand.  “See,” I point at the barista, “they agree with me!”  “Fine! But the next round is on me,” he finally gives in and steps in front of me to order a chai latte with a dash of CBD in it. 

I place my order and pay, then Josh and I head out to my claimed table, the barista promising to bring our drinks out. 

“You’ll have to forgive me. I may be a boring conversational partner for a little while. I’ve got to make a lesson plan for the kids this week.” I reach into my bag and pull out my iPad and my notebook.  “I suppose that will be fine,” he replies with mock sarcasm, “no, truly… what you do for those kids is so important, Quinn.” I feel my face heat up and pray that Josh doesn't notice.  “Please, I highly doubt I’m changing lives here,” I raise one eyebrow in disbelief.  “Oh, but you are,” he continues, “I’m sure you remember being that age. How many of your teachers invested in your creativity?”  I think back, and not a single name comes to mind until my high school art teacher.  “Okay… I think I see your point.”  “I’ve seen how excited you get about your students, about your lesson plans. You’re in my store damn near every week. You’re helping these kids in a way they will remember forever.” 

My heart skips a beat, and butterflies erupt in my belly as I Crack a smile. It’s a good feeling to have someone recognize the work I do. To have someone notice the excitement and joy I get out of it. Why doesn't Craig understand? The short-lived smile drops from my face. 

“Thanks, Josh. That means a lot.” I trail off, pulling out my Apple Pencil. 

I begin designing an intricate mandala, getting lost in the precise strokes of my pencil against the paper-textured screen protector. I feel Josh’s eyes on me, intently watching from his seat across the table, but I (try to) ignore him for the moment. Surely, he understands that this is more important than small talk. I notice from the corner of my eye that he’s pulled a notebook out of seemingly nowhere, and he begins scribbling in it. We sit in contented silence for who knows how long. The only sounds between us are our pencils and the occasional squawk of a hungry seagull harassing passersby for a snack. I can feel the stress leave my body as I sit across from him, sharing space but not taking space from each other. 

It’s nice not feeling pressured to provide entertainment as I work. Maybe we can do this more often.

The sound of Josh setting his pencil on the table grabs my attention.  I glance at him as he laces his fingers together and cracks his knuckles, flexing them in a way that showcases the veins in his hands. Oh, brother. I can't look away as he uses his freshly stretched hands to push the long sleeves of his white shirt up to his elbows. Why is my mouth dry? I slowly reach out to grab my latte. Surely, this will quench my thirst, I think, still watching as Josh picks his pencil up and murmurs an angry “Fuck me” under his breath. My face heats as I replay that frustrated whisper in my head, eyes darting over the muscles contracting in his forearm as he aggressively erases something on his page. Jesus Christ, what is wrong with me? In my slightly frazzled state, eyes definitely not still locked on Josh’s bare arms, I overshoot the paper cup I aimed for and knock it over. I close my eyes, wincing, waiting for Josh to get angry that I spilled something on his notebook, but instead, I hear his tinkling laugh. I open my eyes and see him smiling widely at me, an adorable dimple on full display. 

“Good thing that's empty! I’d hate to cause more work for the barista.” I let out a breath I didn't realize I’d been holding in.  “Yeah, I hate being a pain in the ass customer,” I awkwardly chuckle. Josh stands from the table and stretches his arms over his head, causing the hem of his shirt to ride up. Fuck me. My gaze dips to the pale sliver of skin above the waistband of his pants. I need to relax. Josh clears his throat, glancing down at me, and I finally meet his eyes. 

“Want a refill? I’ll get this round,” he taps his wallet in his pocket. “That sounds great, thank you!”  He nods his head and gathers our empty cups before he heads inside. 

I hang my head in my hands and let out an annoyed groan. Jesus Christ, Quinn. Get it together and stop ogling your friend who is nice enough to buy you a new latte. The truth of the matter is I may be in a relationship with Craig, but I do still have eyes. There’s nothing wrong with admitting that your friends are beautiful. Honestly, the world may be a bit more fun if everyone could accept that their friends are hot, and between Josh’s big brown baby cow eyes, his unruly curls, and his ability to make you feel like you’re the only person in the room, he, unfortunately, veers into Hot Friend Territory. The dimples don’t hurt either. I attempt to finish my drawing while Josh is inside, but I can hardly focus on anything but the odd feeling I get in my chest when I think of him. 

When Josh returns to the table, he sets a fresh cup in front of me.

“I hope this is right. I tried my best to remember what you’d ordered.”“Thank you,” I take a small sip of the obviously correct coffee order, “it’s perfect!”

He visibly relaxes at my confirmation, and I can’t help but think how sweet that is. I can’t remember the last time someone cared so much about something so small. 

“Since we’ve been interrupted,” He starts, “I have to admit I’m curious about what you’re working on.”  “Oh, it’s nothing special. I’m just making a coloring sheet for the kids.” I flip my iPad around, showing him the mandala design before continuing. “I had a hard time coming up with something for them to do this week since the weather isn’t going to be great, and I’m running low on classroom supplies. And I kinda stole an idea from that mural inside.”  “Oh! That sounds interesting. Please continue.” “I’ve always liked mixing warm and cool colors in the same piece like they did inside, and I decided that I want the kids to do the same. So, I’m designing this Mandala coloring sheet for them, and I’m going to have them work on it throughout the week—“ I stop myself, unsure of how much Josh actually cares.

He gestures for me to continue.

“It’s stupid, but I figured I could use this as an opportunity to plant the seed in their brains that art can be used to express and work through your emotions. So, at the start of each class, I’m going to ask them to work with Warm Colors if they’re happy, excited, or in a generally positive mood. Cool colors if they’re not feeling their best.” “Quinn,” he reaches forward and grabs my hand across the table, “that’s not nothing special. That’s beautiful. It’s so important for kids to learn about their emotions and have an outlet to let those emotions out.” 

I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding in. I don’t love being shocked at someone taking my work seriously, but I’m not used to it. Craig always acts like it’s a chore to care about my career. Willa is supportive, but it's different coming from a fellow artist I've known since college. It's nice to feel seen by someone else. 

I pick at my nails for a moment, trying to think of anything to say back to him to convey my appreciation for his words. He reaches a hand across the table and rests it atop mine, and I meet his warm gaze.  “I used to pick my fingernails until they bled,” he starts, “nasty habit.” He gently rubs his thumb across my knuckles, and butterflies erupt in my belly. This is fine. Friends can give each other butterflies. It's totally a normal thing that happens sometimes. I’m sure I could ask anyone, and they’d say, “Of course, Quinn! I get friendly butterflies all the time.” I open my mouth to thank Josh yet again, but I am interrupted by my phone buzzing in my bag. 

Once.  Twice.  Three times. 

I yank my hand out of Josh’s grasp like I’ve been burned. I already know it’s Craig. I can't get more than two and a half hours to myself before he starts bombarding me with messages, begging to know when I’ll be home. A fourth message comes through, and Josh raises an eyebrow. 

“Our Quinn seems popular today,” his eyes light up with mischief, “Should you answer that? Or you could hand it to me. I’m happy to let them know it’s rude to interrupt someone while they're working.” Fucking butterflies are back. “Oh, that's really not necessary, Josh. I’m sure they’ll stop..”  The universe laughs at me; a fifth message comes in immediately after I trail off, and I groan. “You really might want to check that. It sounds like the Pope may have died,” Josh lets out a bewildered chuckle. I shake my head at his vaguely blasphemous joke but reach into my bag and pull out my phone. 

I take a deep breath before clicking into my messages. 

Craig: Where are you?  Craig: You need to come home NOW Craig: I need laundry done  Craig: I don't care how busy you are  Craig: Stop ignoring me 

It's times like these I am glad that I keep my read receipts off for him. I don't know what to say, and I don't want to respond. 

I lock my phone and place it face down on the table next to me. 

“Not the Pope, just a nosy partner,” the word partner feels slightly off coming out of my mouth. It feels like it doesn't belong in this bubble that Josh and I exist in at this moment. I don't have time to unpack that. Josh’s eyebrows scrunch together, and an indecipherable emotion flits across his face as he processes my words. It leaves just as quickly, though. “Offer’s still on the table for me to tell him he’s being rude,” he sounds off, with a half smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. 

My phone buzzes twice more, and I briefly consider slamming my head against the table. 

Craig: So you ARE ignoring me Craig: Cool 

I do gently slam my head against the table at this. It's more like I allow my forehead to kiss the cool metal before letting out a silent scream and then looking back at my messages. 

Me: I’m not ignoring you? I’m working  Me: You’re being rude

His response is immediate 

Craig: Your job isn't more important than our relationship  Me: My job doesn't treat me like its surrogate mother Me: I’m putting myself on DND. I’ll be home when I’m home 

I click into my focus settings and select Danger, Will Robinson, which only allows Willa to reach me. 

Me: If Craig texts you, leave him on read  Wilson: 🫡 Wilson: But we will be discussing this later 

I finally look up at Josh. 

“I’m sorry about that. I told him he was being rude and put my phone on DND,” I trailed off, feeling slightly embarrassed by the situation. “You don't have to apologize to me. You weren't the one being rude.”  I nod my head. Wow, what a foreign concept. I don't know if I can just not apologize; those Cancer traits run deep. I’d take a wild guess that my frequent need to apologize is why Craig thinks he’s allowed to treat me the way he does. I sigh. I need to work on that. I know I need to work on that, but— 

“Where’d you go?” Josh asks, pulling me out of my internal spiral. “Stuck in my head. It happens a lot.”  “Well, let's get you out of there,” he hits me with another boyish grin. “And how exactly do you plan to do that?”  “By putting you in mine for a little bit,” he slides his notebook across the table to me. I gently scoop it into my hands, cradling it like a child.  “Are you sure? I don't want to overstep.”  “Go for it. They’re just film ideas. I’ll probably never get around to doing anything with them.” 

I feel bad about looking through his deepest thoughts without offering something in return, so I set his notebook back on the table and began rifling through my bag. 

“A-ha!” I brandish my sketchbook in his face, shaking it back and forth.  He quirks a brow.  “If you're going to let me look through your work, you have to look through mine.” 

We sit in silence, flipping through each other’s notebooks. Josh’s mind is a vast and beautiful thing. He has so many ideas written down, that it's difficult for me to digest it all. Horror, Sci-Fi, Romance, Comedy… He has ideas for every genre. Some are more fleshed out than others, but he has bare-bones ideas for at least fifteen different projects. I sit and read through the outline of a murder mystery he’s clearly put a lot of thought into, and I begin to envision scenes in my mind. I can picture the main characters fully. I can hear their accents as I read through the small bits of dialogue he has written out.  

“This—” we both start at the same time. 

He lets out a soft chuckle and motions for me to go first. 

“I was just going to say that this,” I gesture to his notebook, “is absolutely insane. You are so talented, Josh. Truly.”  His face flushes an adorable shade of pink at my praise, making me want to continue.  “I can picture these characters, hear their voices, and this is just a draft. You’re such a strong storyteller.” “Oh, hush. They're just little stories. As I said, I'll probably never do anything with them,” he scratches at the back of his neck before flipping my notebook back to me, “besides, I don't know why you're praising my work when you literally did this.” The page he flipped around to show me is a portrait I drew of Willa holding a giant bouquet of irises. I filled in the negative space with all the silly nicknames I've given her over the years.  “I don't even know this woman, but I know that you captured her down to her very soul with this piece. I know she would be honored by your portrayal of her.” 

I suck my bottom lip between my teeth and chew on it. Would she be? I've never shown her this drawing. Maybe I should. 

“Thank you, that means a lot,” I finally say, meeting his eyes, “she's my best friend, and I've never felt like that drawing does her justice.” “I can assure you, anyone would be happy to see themself drawn with such reverence.”  “So, I guess we’re both pretty good at what we do,” I laugh.  “It would seem so!” 

My phone buzzes again, and I sigh and pick it up, muttering another apology to Josh. 

Wilson: Craig’s on the warpath  Me: JDJDBCHDHEJJS okay. I’ll head home so he’ll leave you alone. Wilson: Call me on your way ☺️

“I’m sorry to cut this short, but my boyfriend,” there's that weird feeling again, “has moved on to harassing Willa, so..” I trail off. 

He nods, moving to stand when I do. He reaches over to me and wraps me in a hug, splaying his hand across my back and rubbing gentle circles between my shoulder blades. 

“Thank you for letting me sit and work with you. It was really nice,” he finally pulls back.  “No, thank you. I had a beautiful afternoon. We should do it again sometime.” I grab my bag off the back of my chair and say my final goodbyes while pulling my phone out and hitting Call on Willa’s contact.  She obviously answers on the first ring. 

“Quincy. Quinny. Quailman.”  I hold in a laugh as she rattles off nicknames for me “Wilbur!”  “Are you on your way home?”  “Yeah, but I’m walking, so I have time for your interrogation.” I look down at my feet and kick a few stray rocks across the sidewalk, prepping for whatever she’s going to say. Why do I feel like I’m about to get in trouble? I didn't do anything wrong.  “Beautiful! Because I do have questions.”  “Shoot,” I breathe out a laugh at her nosiness.  “Firstly, yes, firstly. Why did you have me covering for you with Greg?”  “Technically, dear Wilson, I asked you to ignore Craig,” I emphasize Craig. Willa loves to call him Greg to rile him up, but I usually end up catching the heat for it when she does it to him in person. I’m trying to train her out of it. “It’s difficult to ignore a man who blows your phone up seventeen times in ten minutes.” I can practically hear her eye roll.  “Welcome to my life, Wills,” I grunt as I kick another stray rock into the street.  “It's unhealthy, you know.”  “Mhmmmmmmm.” “Well, what were you doing that was,” she puts on her very worst Craig impression, “more important than responding to Greg?”  “I was working on a lesson plan. He came into the kitchen, harassing me about laundry this morning while I was trying to work, so I left.” “Sure.”  “Sure? What does that mean?”  “It means that I’m sure that's why you left. But there’s more to it.” 

I groan; we’ve known each other long enough that she can tell when I'm omitting information. 

“It wasn't anything special, really. I left, came to Higher Grounds, I maybe ranintoafriend,” I try to breeze over the last part, “and then here we are.”  “Run that last bit by me again, Quinn.”  “I ran into a friend,” I squeak out, knowing there’s no sense in trying to dodge the question. Willa is like a bloodhound when she wants information.  “I'm your only friend, and you didn't run into me, so.”  “Hey! I resent that.”  “You resent it because it's true!” I grumble at her as I turn the corner and head down my street to my apartment building.  “FINE. I ran into the guy from Hobby Lobby, and we sat and worked together.”  “The guy from Hobby Lobby?”  “Yeah, Josh. The manager?”  “Stock Boy?”  “The very one!”  “So, what? You ignored your partner,” She shudders over the word, “to go on a coffee date with the guy that caused Greg to yell at you in a Gamestop?”  “Whose side are you on?”  “YOURS. But, I’m playing devil's advocate, and the Devil said you cannot tell Greg that.”  “Why? We’re just friends.”  “Greg is convinced that you are in love with me. Do you really think he won’t have an incorrect opinion on your coffee date with another man?”  “Not a date, but I see your point.”  “Don't make a habit of being wrong, you know.”  “I know, I know,” I say, sliding my key into the lock on my door, “anyway, I'm home. I have to deal with hurricane Craig.”  “Love you, babes. Text me if you need me.”  “Love you, too.” 

I hang up the call and slide my phone back into my bag, bracing myself for whatever is about to blow up. 

“Nice of you to come home, babe,” he greets me with fake sincerity when I enter the kitchen.  “I missed you!” I reply, voice dripping in sarcasm.  “Oh, I'm certain that's true. That's why I had to contact Willa to get you to come home,” he huffs, “what did you even work on anyway?” 

I pull out my iPad and show him the mandala.

“You couldn’t have printed a coloring sheet off Google?” 

So, this is how it’s gonna go. I slam my iPad down on the counter and quickly turn around to face him. 

“No, Craig,” I grit my teeth, “I couldn't print it off Google. Because my students deserve more than that.”  “You're a student teacher. They aren't even your students.” 

I close my eyes and run a hand down my face, sucking in a deep breath to stop myself from absolutely tearing into him. Once I have a handle on my anger, I let my breath out and open my eyes to meet Craig’s. 

“You can put me down, but do not dismiss my career.”  “Career? You’re still in school.”  “Which is a lot more than can be said for you!”  Craig lets out an annoyed laugh  “All I wanted to know is why you were gone for so long, and now you're attacking me.” 

A breath catches in my throat. Does he really think I'm attacking him? Does he not see what he’s been doing to me all day long? Oh, he wants to play it that way? Sorry, Willa. Fuck your advice, we’re going rogue.  

“Hey, Craig,” I let out a slightly unhinged laugh, “do you want to know what I was actually doing?” 

He raises an eyebrow. 

“I was with Josh, you know, the guy from Hobby Lobby? I ran into him at Higher Grounds, and I bought him a coffee. Then we sat at a table together, and he told me how important my work was. And we had a beautiful three-hour-long conversation. And it was the least stressful thing I've dealt with today.” 

I turn away from him, grabbing my canvas bag and iPad 

“I’m going to the room. Do not follow me.” 

Without giving him a chance to respond, I walk down the hallway and into our bedroom. I shut and lock the door, then pull out my sketchbook and a pencil, flipping to the first free page. Despite my anger and hurt, my thoughts are still full of Josh’s hair and his dimples, so I put my pencil to the paper and begin to draw him from memory.

Hell no we are not letting this OFMD finale distract from that THIS LETTER.

Had a signature from Taika Waititi. I understand the sensitivity here this issue with Taika being Jewish(and that’s not my place as someone that’s Not Jewish or in those regions to condemn him on that perspective’s behalf) but this letter is directly bastardizing the situation.

Now, when there is a major production from a major figure in this platform that did this, is when we can make the most impact. Remember our values, even when those values involve a show that is strengthening the LGBTQ community.

Because this letter tore down the strength of the movement in support of Gaza. There are going to be so many people that saw this letter and take it completely uncritically, unchallenged.

Standing up for our values means sacrificing our interests, holding accountable the things we enjoy.

And also. I don’t want to see ANYONE. Being fucking antisemitic or racist towards Taika here. That is never appropriate and absolutely inexcusable behavior. You should he ashamed if you think that’s okay even after Taika’s actions.

[Text of Letter]

October 23, 2023

Dear President Biden, We are heartened by Friday's release of the two American hostages, Judith Ranaan and her daughter Natalie Ranaan and by today's release of two Israelis, Nurit Cooper and

Yocheved Lifshitz, whose husbands remain in captivity. But our relief is tempered by our overwhelming concern that 220 innocent people,

including 30 children, remain captive by terrorists, threatened with torture and death.

They were taken by Hamas in the savage massacre of October 7, where over 1,400

Israelis were slaughtered - women raped, families burned alive, and infants beheaded. Thank you for your unshakable moral conviction, leadership, and support for the Jewish people, who have been terrorized by Hamas since the group's founding over 35 years ago, and for the Palestinians, who have also been terrorized, oppressed, and victimized

by Hamas for the last 17 years that the group has been governing Gaza. We all want the same thing: Freedom for Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace. Freedom from the brutal violence spread by Hamas. And most urgently, in this

moment, freedom for the hostages. We urge everyone to not rest until all hostages are released. No hostage can be left behind. Whether American, Argentinian, Australian, Azerbaijani, Brazilian, British, Canadian, Chilean, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Eritrean, Filipino, French, German, Indian, Israeli, Italian, Kazakh, Mexican, Panamanian, Paraguayan, Peruvian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, South African, Spanish, Sri Lankan, Thai, Ukrainian,

Uzbekistani or otherwise, we need to bring them home.

Sincerely,

I hate how people are acting like hellebuyck dosent deserve the vezina because of this playoff run because 1) the jets d really fucking left him out to die on most of those shots and 2) bitch its a regular season award like damn alot of people hate the jets so much they refuse to see hes the best goalie in the leauge 100% like sorry hes not twink ajadcent enough for you to see hes a amazing goalie

For some reason I think JFresh of all people said it best. The Jets: A balanced offensive team until they weren't, that played elite team defence until it fell apart, and was backstopped by elite goaltending until it wasn't.

I think the Jets were a legit contender whose coach decided to try galaxy-braining in the first round and who got buzzsawed by the well-oiled Avs for it. Those five games were the worst five they've played all season; they're usually Legit.

And yessss Curse Of Small Market because people Don't think about Hellebuyck being elite and they Don't know Kyle Connor is a genuine perennial 40-goalscorer and they Don't Know Nik Ehlers is one of the most analytics-darling analytics darlings in the league and they Don't Know about Josh Morrissey's entire existence frankly, which is devastating to me because I actually really like him. And they don't know Sean Monahan is a Jet either !!! What are we doing to our beautiful aviation men !!! Must mark scheifele and jesse pollock ruin everything

Une finale surprise avec les énormes performances de l'UBB et Northampton !

Ce week-end des demi-finales de la Champions Cup 2024-2025, disputé les 3 et 4 mai 2025, a été marqué par deux matchs intenses et des résultats inattendus :

Samedi 3 mai : Leinster 34-37 Northampton (Aviva Stadium, Dublin)

Résumé : Northampton a créé une énorme surprise en battant Leinster, grand favori, sur son terrain. Les Saints, portés par un triplé de l'ailier Tommy Freeman et une performance remarquable du jeune flanker Henry Pollock, ont pris l'avantage en première mi-temps (27-15) avec cinq essais, dont trois inscrits en infériorité numérique. Leinster a réagi en seconde période avec des essais de Caelan Doris, Josh van der Flier et James Lowe, revenant à trois points (34-37). Cependant, un essai refusé à Ross Byrne à la 79e minute pour un en-avant et une défense héroïque de Northampton, même à 14 après un carton jaune, ont scellé l'exploit.

Clés du match : La fraîcheur offensive de Northampton, la précision de Fin Smith, et une défense acharnée ont contrasté avec l'imprécision de Leinster, qui a manqué des opportunités, notamment en refusant des pénalités pour des pénaltouches.

Conséquence : Northampton se qualifie pour sa première finale de Champions Cup depuis 2011, mettant fin aux espoirs de Leinster de disputer une quatrième finale consécutive.

Dimanche 4 mai : Union Bordeaux-Bègles (UBB) 35-18 Toulouse (Matmut Atlantique, Bordeaux)

Résumé : L'UBB a dominé le Stade Toulousain, champion en titre, pour décrocher une place historique en finale. Les Bordelais, emmenés par un Louis Bielle-Biarrey auteur d’un doublé, ont maîtrisé le match grâce à un jeu offensif fluide et une défense solide. Toulouse, affaibli par de nombreuses absences (Thomas Ramos, Peato Mauvaka, entre autres), n’a pas réussi à imposer son rythme, malgré quelques éclairs, notamment via Ange Capuozzo. L’UBB a creusé l’écart en seconde période, s’appuyant sur la puissance de son pack et la vista de Maxime Lucu et Matthieu Jalibert.

Clés du match : La discipline et l’intensité de l’UBB, combinées à l’exploitation des erreurs toulousaines, ont fait la différence. Toulouse a manqué de cohésion face à une équipe bordelaise ultra-motivée à domicile.

Conséquence : L’UBB atteint sa première finale de Champions Cup, un exploit majeur pour le club, et affrontera Northampton le 24 mai à Cardiff. Toulouse, favori avant le match, est éliminé.

Bilan du week-end :

Northampton et l’UBB, deux équipes considérées comme outsiders, ont déjoué les pronostics en éliminant respectivement Leinster et Toulouse, deux géants européens.

La finale opposera Northampton à l’UBB le 24 mai 2025 à Cardiff, promettant un affrontement entre l’énergie offensive anglaise et l’ambition bordelaise.

Ces résultats soulignent l’imprévisibilité de la compétition et marquent un tournant, avec l’élimination des deux favoris habituels.

Best Bowling Partnerships in Champions Trophy Matches

Cricket is often celebrated as a team sport, where partnerships between players can define the outcome of a game. While batting partnerships frequently steal the spotlight, bowling partnerships are equally pivotal, especially in tournaments like the ICC Champions Trophy. When bowlers hunt in pairs, they create immense pressure, dismantle batting line-ups, and often turn the tide of matches in their team's favor.

This blog explores the best bowling partnerships in Champions Trophy matches, highlighting moments where two bowlers worked in tandem to deliver unforgettable performances.

1. Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee (Australia)

The deadly duo of Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee was a nightmare for batsmen during the 2006 Champions Trophy. Known for their contrasting styles—McGrath’s unerring accuracy and Lee’s raw pace—the pair complemented each other perfectly.

In the final against the West Indies, the two wreaked havoc, taking crucial wickets at regular intervals. Lee's fiery spells softened up the batsmen, while McGrath's precision ensured they had no room to breathe. Their partnership played a vital role in Australia securing their maiden Champions Trophy title.

2. Zaheer Khan and Munaf Patel (India)

The 2013 Champions Trophy saw India dominate in all departments, and the bowling partnership of Zaheer Khan and Munaf Patel was key to their success.

Zaheer, with his swing and experience, kept things tight at one end, while Munaf's deceptive seam bowling chipped away at the opposition. In a group-stage match against South Africa, the duo combined to dismantle a strong batting line-up, setting the tone for India's successful campaign. Their understanding and ability to exploit conditions made them a formidable pair.

3. Shaun Pollock and Makhaya Ntini (South Africa)

South Africa has always been known for producing world-class bowlers, and the pair of Shaun Pollock and Makhaya Ntini showcased their brilliance in the 2000 Champions Trophy.

Pollock’s mastery of swing and Ntini’s ability to extract bounce made them a lethal combination. Against Pakistan in the semi-finals, the two bowled in tandem, sharing wickets and maintaining relentless pressure. Their synergy and discipline were instrumental in South Africa reaching the final.

4. Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis (Pakistan)

No list of bowling partnerships would be complete without mentioning the legendary duo of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. In the 2000 Champions Trophy, these two legends displayed why they were considered the finest bowling pair in cricket history.

In a match against Sri Lanka, their reverse swing and pinpoint yorkers left the opposition in tatters. Wasim’s ability to swing the ball both ways and Waqar’s toe-crushing yorkers made them a nightmare for any batting line-up. Their partnership remains iconic and continues to inspire budding fast bowlers worldwide.

5. James Anderson and Stuart Broad (England)

James Anderson and Stuart Broad have been England’s bowling mainstays for over a decade. Their performance in the 2013 Champions Trophy was a testament to their chemistry and skill.

In a group-stage match against Australia, Anderson’s swing and Broad’s bounce combined to restrict the Australian batsmen effectively. They bowled with exceptional control, ensuring England gained the upper hand early in the game. Their ability to feed off each other’s strengths makes them one of the most successful bowling partnerships in cricket.

6. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood (Australia)

Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood’s partnership during the 2017 Champions Trophy was a lesson in modern fast bowling. The left-arm-right-arm combination added variety to their attack, and both bowlers consistently hit the right areas.

Against New Zealand, the pair shared seven wickets, dismantling the Kiwi batting order. Starc’s lethal yorkers and Hazlewood’s nagging line-and-length made them a nightmare for batsmen. Their ability to strike in tandem was a significant asset for Australia throughout the tournament.

7. Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin (India)

India’s spin duo, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, showcased their brilliance in the 2013 Champions Trophy. Their partnership was instrumental in India's title-winning campaign.

In the final against England, the pair bowled with exceptional control, choking the flow of runs and picking up key wickets. Jadeja’s accuracy and Ashwin’s variations complemented each other perfectly, making them a formidable force in the middle overs.

8. Lasith Malinga and Nuwan Kulasekara (Sri Lanka)

Lasith Malinga and Nuwan Kulasekara formed a deadly pair for Sri Lanka during the 2009 Champions Trophy. Their contrasting styles—Malinga’s slingy action and toe-crushing yorkers paired with Kulasekara’s swing—troubled many teams.

In a crucial match against England, the duo shared six wickets, ensuring Sri Lanka’s victory. Their ability to bowl in tandem during both power plays and death overs made them one of the most reliable bowling partnerships of the tournament.

9. Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh (India)

India’s iconic spin duo of Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh delivered a memorable performance in the 2002 Champions Trophy. Their ability to bowl tight spells and pick wickets at crucial junctures played a pivotal role in India’s campaign.

Against South Africa in the semi-final, the two spinners weaved a web around the batsmen, sharing six wickets between them. Their partnership remains one of the best examples of spin domination in the tournament's history.

10. Shane Bond and Daniel Vettori (New Zealand)

Shane Bond’s raw pace and Daniel Vettori’s guile made them an excellent bowling pair for New Zealand in the 2009 Champions Trophy.

Against Pakistan in the semi-final, Bond’s ability to generate extreme pace and Vettori’s knack for outsmarting batsmen created havoc. Their combined effort restricted Pakistan to a modest total, leading New Zealand to the final.

Why Bowling Partnerships Matter

In cricket, a strong bowling partnership is as important as a batting stand. Bowlers working together can:

Create relentless pressure.

Force batsmen into making mistakes.

Exploit weaknesses by complementing each other’s skills.

Conclusion

The best bowling partnerships in Champions Trophy matches are a testament to the importance of teamwork in cricket. From the fiery spells of Akram and Waqar to the spin mastery of Ashwin and Jadeja, these pairs have provided some of the most memorable moments in the tournament's history.

As we look forward to future editions of the Champions Trophy, it’s these partnerships that fans will hope to see again—bowlers working in harmony to script historic victories and unforgettable performances.

[ad_1] Scott Boland after taking a wicket at the SCG (PC: Debasis Sen) Agnijit Sen in Sydney I had the opportunity to interview former Indian wicket-keeper-batsman Deep Dasgupta once. I asked him about the toughest bowler he faced. Without batting an eyelid, Deep Dasgupta said, “Shaun Pollock. He would run in and bowl the same line and length throughout the day.” Sometimes, this is exactly what you need from a Test match bowler. Boland is a perfectly cut out Test match bowler. He loves to bowl long spells, loves running in and boy, does he love Virat Kohli or what? Once in World Test Championship Final 2023, once in the day-night Adelaide Test, once in the Boxing Day Test and twice in the ongoing Sydney Test in this series. Boland now has Kohli 5 times in Tests, the most by any bowler. That is a remarkable record in itself. A lot of people may argue that bowlers now know how to get the big fish back in the hut early. Just bowl close to the off-stump in the corridor of uncertainty, keep harping on the 5th and 6th stump lines. Kohli knows it too. And of late, he’s leaving a lot of those too. But how does Boland get the better of him almost every time? The answer is simple. Boland is checkmating Kohli in terms of sheer patience. Patience is a term you usually associate with batsmen in Test cricket. Boland is proof that bowlers get paid for their patience too. He doesn’t have express pace like a Brett Lee, nor does he possess vicious swing like a Mitchell Starc, what he can do is hit the nagging, irritating line and length over and over again. Close to off stump, right in the corridor of uncertainty, hitting the good length-back of a good length, sometimes slightly fuller. For hours. For sessions. For days. It simply amazes me to think that Boland would not have played in the ongoing series if Josh Hazlewood had made it to the playing XI. Hazlewood had to sit out twice, once with a side-strain and then with a calf injury. With Starc, Cummins, Hazlewood forming a formidable pace trio for Australia at home, replacement would have been difficult. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Scott Boland celebrates with his teammates at the SCG (PC: Debasis Sen) In comes Boland. Let’s look at his economy for the last two tests he has played. In the first innings of the Boxing Day Test, his economy was 2.11 after bowling 27 overs. That’s simply astonishing. Add the wickets of Rishabh Pant, Kohli and Akash Deep to it and suddenly the bowling figures look phenomenal. Equally good in the second innings, Boland finished with an economy of 2.43. He picked up the all important wicket of Ravindra Jadeja and then accounted for Akash Deep and Bumrah to mop up the tail. However, the best spell of Boland was kept for the first session of the ongoing Sydney Test. Bowling under overcast skies on a surface which has live grass, Boland found the key to success very quickly. The pitch played perfectly to his strengths. Boland kept hitting the same areas over and over again, allowing the pitch to do the rest. And the surface did not disappoint him. Some balls leapt up, others seamed both ways with appreciable carry to leave the Indian batters reeling. Jaiswal was unable to keep the leaping ball down, just when Kohli was looking set, Boland lured him with a fourth stump ball. The in-form Nitish Reddy was done in by a jaffa first ball. The ball hit the perfect length, seamed just a touch to square up Nitish who ended up giving catching practice to Steve Smith in the slip cordon. He also accounted for Rishabh Pant’s wicket and finished with 4 wickets and an economy of 1.55 in the first innings. After dismissing Pant and Reddy in the same over, Boland got a standing ovation from a full house SCG. That’s what he has earned. He is the crowd’s favourite without stupid stunts like  Sam Konstas but by sheer hard work and perseverance. In the second innings, he has looked equally threatening so far, cleaning up the openers Jaiswal and Rahul, and once again accounting for Kohli.

The Australian team will surely go to him again tomorrow again to restrict India quickly. Despite all his heroics, Boland knows he will once again start as a reserve when the Ashes come next year. Or will he? That’s one tough call the selectors will need to make. Also, Boland needs to showcase his skills outside Australia. But for now, Boland knows he has done his job. He has irritated the batters, bowled long, tireless, thankless spells, hit metronomic lines and lengths. His remarkable consistency of hitting the same areas throughout the day and his knack of picking wickets may remind you of a Glenn McGrath or a Shaun Pollock. Boland can be their rightful successor.
