Cleopatra - the fury over her ethnicity
Queen Cleopatra - the new Netflix series - has some in a lather over her ethnicity. The critics need to take a chill pill and calm down.
Nothing divides an online and TV audience more these days than the ethnicity of actors playing certain roles. Netflix now finds itself in hot water over a new drama-documentary series of the life of Cleopatra with black British actress Adele James in the lead role. Much of the fury has emanated from Egypt.

πToday's book is "ORUN" from New Agenda Publishing
The setting is fresh and exciting. High sci-fi with a ton of unique peoples and cultures.
But I found the rules of the book to be too dense for my taste.
Rest assured my next space campaign will use a lot of these ideas!

Good morning/afternoon/evening,
The name is Severiel or Sev. This is a not-so-new blog; I've gone through a lot of ups, downs, and rearrangements in my life, and I thought what better way to celebrate than to start posting up some of my work again.
So, without further ado, welcome to Alterra, my saving grace during the trying times of covid and the early years of my adulting.
Ah- before I sorta just let ya on loose, I guess there are some ground rules.
1. I will try to post every Saturday morning; I can't give an exact timeframe as life just happens, ya know?
2. Some of the things that happen in the world can and will cover a variety of topics. Think of it like a reflection of our world, just with a little magic and a lot less technologically advanced. As such, I'll try my best to make sure that all my posts are tagged accordingly, alongside having TW or CW's written on top with spoilers should it be too graphic. Your job, however, is to curate your experience. I'm not gonna sugarcoat my world it can get dark, there will be some dead dove content, but if you are going to ignore the warnings, I will not be held accountable for what you see.
3. I'm always open to questions, comments, and concerns. Honestly, looking at my other blogs, they seem pretty childish looking back, but just the same, as long as the discourse is respectful it's just chill D&D fantasy and creative writing.
4. Things I'm not open to and will report as well as block indefinitely are; homophobia of any kind towards the lgbtq+, racism, ableism, and generally any type of connotative -ism is a no-go here. If it's seen, it's ignored, and there won't even be a post to acknowledge such blatant ignorance and disrespect.

βββββββββββββββ½γβγβΎββββββββββββββ
Here's the world map; please don't make any attempts to steal my work, as it has been watermarked; for some point of reference, while the world is entirely homebrew, from the creation story to internal lore about the people who live here, the stat blocks should stay relatively unchanged.

CLAUDIO MUTUA - Africa and AI: The Case for an Afro-Centric AI Policy and Legislation - The Elephant
African-centric AI legislation must prioritize human rights, foster innovation, protect marginalized groups, uphold positive African values, and reject imposed norms.
