Yay!!!

The Vanished (Shuri: Black Panther Novel) (2021) 

With the heart-shaped herb thriving, a group of Wakanda’s finest engineers working on expanding her dome technology, and the borders more fortified than ever, Princess Shuri can finally focus on what matters most: her training.

Soon, a bigger problem rears its head. The princess hears whispers of exceptionally talented young girls across the world going missing. A young environmental scientist in Kenya, a French physics prodigy – the list of the missing keeps growing and growing. And when this mystery hits home in a way the princess would’ve never expected, there’s no more time for hesitation: There are lost girls out there somewhere, and Shuri is determined not to let them be forgotten.

Celebrating Jackie Ormes !

“To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the first publication of the comic strip Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger, Google Doodle honored the life of its creator, Jackie Ormes — through a comic, of course!

The parallax-animated comic strip offers a glimpse into the story of Jackie Ormes, born Zelda Mavin Jackson, at various stages of her life, starting with her upbringing in Monongahela, PA. It was there that Ormes learned to draw and got her first start at professional cartooning through caricatures in the Monongahela High School yearbook.

After a few years of working at respected Black newspaper the Pittsburgh Courier, in 1937 Jackie Ormes was given the chance to have her own comic strip published. This became Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem — the first nationally-published comic created by a Black woman — which balanced humor with the harsh realities faced by those moving north to escape racism.

One of Jackie Ormes’ later comics, Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger ran from 1945 to 1956, and inspired a run of Patty-Jo dolls, styled after the comic’s younger main character. These Patty-Jo dolls were groundbreaking in their own right, as the first Black dolls in America with high-quality clothes.”

How Do Kissing, Eating, Snoring And Other Things Sound In Different Languages?

British designer and physicist James Chapmen is known for creating incredibly clever and accurate illustrations, which depict the psychology behind linguistics and how different cultures allocate different sounds to a variety of actions. Believe it or not, kissing, eating, snoring, even the way glass breaks, sounds distinctive all around the world.

Chapman’s adorable posters compare the different written and auditory expressions for many human actions. One of the most obvious speech variations is the language of kissing and a dog’s bark. In English a kissing sound is defined as “muah,” whereas the French use “smack” to convey the behavior. The most recognizable difference comes in the interpretation of our favorite furry friend, the dog. The Cantonese language says “wong,” where as the Spanish language interprets a dog’s bark as “guaf.”

Although some dialects contain similarities, other contrasting differences appear worlds apart. You can find more of his work in his Etsy shop.
