On March 24, 48 years ago, they stained the country with blood.
-Pablo Antonio Miguez was only 14 years old when the military broke into his house and took his parents away. Five minutes later they came to pick him up. They made him watch his mother being tortured so that she would talk. Today he has a statue in the Rio de La Plata, where he was thrown.
-Dagmar Hagelin was 17 years old when she was abducted by mistake in 1977. The military mistook her for María Antonia Berger, a militant of Montoneros, because she had the same hair color. Witnesses saw her alive in the ESMA, she was never heard from again.
-Azucena Villaflor was looking for her missing daughter and joined other mothers. On December 10 they published an advertisement in a newspaper. That same night she was kidnapped and tortured for 10 days, she died from the impact with the sea when she was thrown alive from an airplane.
-María Claudia Falcone was kidnapped and murdered in 1976 in La Noche de los Lápices (The Night of the Pencils) for fighting for a student ticket. She had been 16 years old only a month before.
-Floreal Edgardo Avellaneda. His friends amicably called him "El Negrito". His militancy was to hand out leaflets in the street. He was kidnapped, tortured and murdered in 1976. He was 15 years old.
There are 30,000 disappeared.
Where are they?
This government endorses and promotes the senseless massacre.

Power: She was given her powers after sneaking around a train station to spray paint the walls with her nephew and boyfriend at the time, being of course bitten by a spider and you know the rest ;) Her power are similar to every spider man/women however she got an added skill.
— That’s teleportation! Popping in and out of places during fights, surprising people and phase between walls when possible. It’s nothing specific or special but she believes it’s rather cool, however she doesn’t use it too often.
Weapons: Aside from powers, she still uses her gun and taser. As well as whatever is around her to fight.
Career: She refers to herself as a cop. Well mainly works at NYPD, as assistant detective and helping keeping order of filming for case studies. She’s pretty skillful with a camera and note taking.
Personality: AJ is kind, smart, strong hearted, can be very sweet, easily annoyed at time and she tends to be clumsy. But she’s a good friend to have when you need a shoulder to cry on. She is someone who doesn’t always catches onto clues too quickly, it takes her time but she’ll get there.
Side-note: She sometimes tends to run in first and ask questions later, never taking time to exactly explain something. So she needs to slow down and get her facts straight sometimes.

Her 2D animated/comic book version + style of her suit
—//-
When AJ was bitten by the accidental spider, she didn’t feel anything at first until she felt a bump on the side of her wrist later on. She didn’t think anything of it in the beginning, taking care of the bite like any other bite waiting for it to heal.
That was until she started expecting heavy headaches, dizziness and a few climbing hot flashes at work. She didn’t like it one bit, thinking she was sick or something. It felt like anything was going wrong, she couldn’t focus and even her fingers tips started sticking to the files.
Hell even the stapler got stuck
“Aye no!” She muttered to herself, sitting in her office trying to remove the papers from her fingers and throwing the stapler across the floor.
She left work that afternoon, spending two days just to herself trying to everything out. It made her head hurt. She realized her nephew left a SpiderMan comic book in her apartment, reading and raised an eyebrow.
“Okay that’s impossible! There’s only one Spider-Man, there is not such a Spider-Woman. But it all matches up…” AJ said to herself, throwing the comic book aside when she heard the doorbell.
She quickly answered it. It was her sister with her son smiling brightly saying that she needed someone to babysit Miles.
Miles sighed, “Mami! I told you already I don’t need a babysitter. I’m 13! I turn 14 in a month.”
“You’re still a child, Miles.” Rio replied with a smile, then thanking her sister.
Later on, the two spend the whole rest of the day together. Even uncle Aaron joined them, before heading off to work. She loved her family especially her nephew and her boyfriend Aaron, who just so happens to be her sister’s husband’s brother, but still. She will do anything to keep herself and themselves safe.
~~~~~~~
Some time past, AJ kept reading her nephews comic books and secretly watching Spider-Man speed across the city taking note of his every move. Her brother in law may not like Spider-Man to a certain extent but she did. She found him brave, strong, kind, funny and caring towards the people of New York.
Sadly, it hurt that she had to kept herself a secret. Her boyfriend couldn’t even know, hell he was always suspicious and wondering what was going on in her head. She tended to come home late, didn’t hear very often, studied more often than not and sensed everything around her.
One afternoon, she was walking to work with Aaron when suddenly she caught into a robbery accident downtown and quickly ran into place, as the detective she is to look into it. Her boyfriend screamed telling her not to do it, call the other police instead but she didn’t listen.
Spider-Man on was the screen protecting others and trying his best to save the day, when he thought everything was taken care of a robber swooped in and catches AJ taking her hostage. It was a crazy fight, people got hurt.
She tried to fight, smacking his face using her gun and whatever metal plate was next to her, when Spider-Man raced in to help her. She let Spider-Man save her, as she tried to drop the plate but it was stuck to her hands and her physical body popped in and out of place.
Looking over her shoulder to notice the hero glancing at her.
Once he knocked the man unconscious, it was when her fingers suddenly released and she stopped phasing. Spider-Man senses tingled having a feeling he knew what happen as he mutters, “You’re like him, uh, me..?”
“What? Oh no! I’m not. I was just…” She exclaimed trying to explain what happened.
“Your fingers uh, they stuck to the item you were holding..”
“I don’t know what’s happening, alright? I guess we are the same…”
“I can show you the ropes, if you uh, like. It’s crazy but you will get the hang of it.”
AJ half smiled at the New York hero and nodded, as Spider-Man brought her back outside safely away from the robbery.
That moment she went home, figuring out that she didn’t have to hide who she was exactly and maybe living a little different would be good. A detective during the day and turning into a vigilante at night, finding herself spending more time with Spider-Man.
Saving a few lives when possible, seeing the city take flight and keeping her cover.
AJ has met a few allies as she started fighting to save the day. Miss Siren, SliverStone, Tigress and etc.
She went as far as saving her nephew and his friend, once when there was citywide blackout and other time in the park. Miles after being saved twice, having heard the saviors voice and smiled muttering to himself, “Tia..? Cool..”
~~~~
It was all fun and games, until AJ found herself fight one of the quick villains of the week. The Prowler.
She has been watching his movements for a week, having Spider-Man bring in information if possible. She even went far as to go out as Spider-Women to scout what the hell he wanted to do. But nothing.
It sucks. The whole week felt like a downer, hell she was supposed to go on date nights and lunches but Aaron kept canceling. His exact excuses were work, friends need his help and what not. He was hiding something, but she didn’t know what.
She found herself that Saturday night, alone waiting for him to show up, until she got an entertainment report from a friend that The Prowler was out again. She ran out leaving a note for her boyfriend and strapped on her suit, rushing out to the crime scene. She didn’t having time to suit up as the vigilante, so she worn her black uniform and a mask to cover half her face due to the cold weather.
A downtown build held the man in question, as her team rushed in to search for him and hold him captive. Her and her brother in law, Jefferson Davis, run up the stairs racing to get him. SpiderMan was VERY running late.
AJ pulled together finding The Prowler in the building before her brother in law, by teleporting around. A few officers came running behind her, holding up their guns.
Hoisted her gun high to his back and yelled, “Turn around, buddy! You have two seconds to turn yourself in or i shoot!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, sweetheart…” He muttered to himself quietly, turning around to face the officer.
The two held their stance, bouncing around the room being quick on their feet. He pounded the ground, trying to scoop her up as she flipped and turned around the room, trying to swiftly take the items he had behind his back.
The fight didn’t last long, running around the stairs where fellows officers and detectives were behind held waiting for a signal but fell short, since it resulted in a fight. It got to a point where an officer shot The Prowler as AJ grabbed the items.
The items were weapon to be transferred to Oscorp.
Spider-Man showed up late to the fight, beating up the villain.
The second The Prowler hit the ground, he was starting to bleed deeply and bruised. AJ raced to detect the situation, after tossing the information to SpiderMan. She quickly unmasked The Prowler as she gasped, removing her own mask…
“No..no, no, no! Aaron!” She screamed out softly, “…why?”
“Oh baby..I’m sorry I didn’t tell you..” He replies coughing with a soft smile, placing a hand on her cheek.
“I..i saw him fight with you..that’s why you weren’t home…”
He simply nodded whispering, “…we what we love..my secrets safe with me, baby..”
“..w-what..? Oh no! Jefferson!” She yelled out to her brother in law.
Jefferson slide over in shock at the reveal, sending a glare at SpiderMan for a quick moment before hushing his brother’s worries. Quietly talking knowing he didn’t have long. The family stayed there in horrible shape of what just happened..
~~~~~
Late that night after that scene, AJ sat down at the rooftop of her building dressed in her Spider suit, whimpering and sighed. She wished she knew earlier or maybe she could’ve done something to stop it.
Spider-Man found her on the rooftop and just held her close. He told her that this life comes with mistakes, heartbreaking times and plenty of unfortunate situations. But you have to make the choice to stand up and fight.

Desde aquele domingo
de outubro
vejo a menina
no exato instante
em que se eleva
sobre a pedra e o bronze
em aceno:
contra monumento
à derrota.
Se durante vários anos apaguei seletivamente páginas de jornais, agora as refaço. No centro destas páginas está uma praça, cinemas esquecidos, um palácio demolido, um monumento, uma espera, e, sobretudo, um gesto realizado por uma menina que se eleva como um contra monumento à derrota daquela noite, de tantas noites. No início, há uma foto trêmula, feita quase às cegas, sem qualidade ou definição. No início – novamente, porque são muitos os inícios –, há um desejo de escrita, inseparável do desejo de imagem (do desejo da imagem da página, essa quase obsessão). A menina que acena na Cinelândia, sobre o monumento ao Marechal Floriano, é minha vaga heroína, com sua silhueta frágil e rosto indefinido (o que a resguarda e protege das identificações sempre policialescas). Não cesso de tentar refazer seu aceno em texto-imagem, em imagem-texto. Preciso vê-la de novo e de novo, sustentar seu gesto, para que ele dure e se desdobre, em outros tempos a vir.

Over the last decade, the word "immigrant" has been tarnished with allusions to illegality, stealing resources from existing citizens, exporting crime and violence, and robbing Paul to pay Pedro.
Although a sizable block of citizens in the U.S. have enmity towards immigrants, nations such as France, Hungary, and the United Kingdom have built political platforms based on such unbridled antipathy.
Although podcasting has seen more infiltration by right-wing extremists, multiphobic hate merchants, and misinformation mavens, the medium is still an oasis of multiculturalism and tolerance.
Exhibit number one is Immigrantly, which is a podcast that shares the stories of immigrant communities, exploring the multifaceted experiences of identity, culture, and belonging.
As the Immigrantly team says: "On our flagship podcast, Immigrantly, we dare to ask our guests what they think of America and what they hope for America."
As a host, Saadia Khan dives deeply into explorations with her guests of stereotypical narratives Americans hold about immigrants and people of color. Khan and her team tenderly unravel the nuance and depth of the immigrant experience.
Immigrantly is partaking in discussions, and topics often overlooked in the mainstream media.
Saadia Khan is a Pakistani American immigrant, human rights activist & business major turned social entrepreneur. She is a Columbia University graduate with 12+ years of experience in human rights and six years of experience producing audio content. She has worked with U.N. Women and other U.N. entities as a small civil society organization focused on women’s rights. Immigrantly is a weekly podcast that "celebrates the extraordinariness of immigrant life," Khan notes. "We do this by providing our listeners with authentic, accurate insights into the immigrant identity in America.
Immigrantly has garnered significant recognition and has been featured in renowned media outlets such as the Nieman Storyboard, The Guardian, The Slowdown, and CNN."
Khan is a terrific host and the sound design of the show is well-crafted. After all, the show has produced over 300 episodes, so they have the process down to a science.
What's on the show? Here are a few examples:
On August 6, 2024, show, Immigrantly explores why, despite over 70 million first and second-generation immigrants in America, they continue to face vilification. Politicians echo alarming calls for mass deportations, but few captures the humanity of the immigrant experience.
In this episode, guests Antonia Cerejido and Lorena Rios, the brilliant minds behind the podcast Imperfect Paradise, Return to Mexico share the powerful journey of Daniel Zamora, an undocumented immigrant sent back to Mexico, revealing a story of grit, vulnerability, and strength.
On the June 24, 2024, episode, host Khan delves into the differences between individualistic and collectivist societies. This contrast becomes particularly striking when considering how people in individualistic cultures often face grief and struggles in isolation. Immigrants can deeply resonate with the emotional toll this solitude brings and the vital role of community and support.
On the March 28, 2023, episode, Khan was joined by Lionel Nicolau and Ilana Weitz, co-producers of the podcast Culture Jumpers. Together, host and guests explore their personal experiences with cross-cultural relationships and how they navigate the challenges and joys of blending their diverse backgrounds.
Immigrantly produces other podcasts such as Banterly, Nationly, Sportly, and Invisible Hate.
Check out Immigrantly. This podcast attempts to create a more holistic society by elevating diverse perspectives and experiences.

Magnífica Máquina Maldita une peso e experimentações para celebrar cultura popular no clipe e single “Carranca”
Magnífica Máquina Maldita, projeto idealizado pelo produtor, compositor e multi instrumentista carioca Eduardo Seabra, faz uma fusão inovadora de estilos como pode ser visto em “Carranca”, ciranda-coco com forte tom roqueiro. A faixa é uma homenagem à cultura dos remeiros do Rio São Francisco, que acreditavam que as carrancas em suas barcas os protegiam dos perigos da navegação.

“Acho que este é o aspecto que mais me fascina: a dualidade inerente à ideia de que um monstro que nos acompanha pode nos proteger de outros monstros exteriores. A letra fala justamente sobre isso. Musicalmente, Carranca surgiu da tentativa de compor algo no estilo da grande Lia de Itamaracá. No fim das contas, a canção acabou soando menos como uma ciranda e mais como um coco eletrificado, com alguns elementos de baião e maracatu”, conta Eduardo.
Transitando entre o popular e o experimental, o projeto incorpora elementos do rock alternativo, samba de raiz, eletroacústica, coco, jazz e baião, criando uma sonoridade única que desafia as convenções. O álbum de estreia do grupo, homônimo, foi lançado em 2022 com produção de Bryan Holmes e contava com a faixa, que agora ganha um destaque especial com sua representação em vídeo.
O clipe de "Carranca" é uma ode aos mestres carranqueiros da região do Rio São Francisco, com destaque para figuras como Mestre Afrânio, Mestre Guarany, Ana das Carrancas e Carina Lacerda, que serviram de inspiração para a representação visual da carranca no vídeo, interpretada pela bailarina Flora Bulcão.
O lançamento do single e clipe marca o início de uma nova fase para Magnífica Máquina Maldita, que culminará em sua primeira apresentação ao vivo, agendada para maio de 2024 no Rio de Janeiro, com uma formação exclusivamente composta por alunos e alunas da Unirio, faculdade em que parte do álbum foi gravado.
“Carranca” está disponível em todas as plataformas de música e o clipe, no canal do youtube do artista.

Letra:
velho monstro de madeira,
como é que posso fugir das mágoas
de tantas vidas derramadas
que ainda escorrem por essas águas?
minha carranca é quem me guia
por onde for que eu remar
minha carranca mostra os dentes
pra quem quiser me derrubar
mas meus piores inimigos
são os que carrego no olhar
quem vê de longe até se engana
de achar que eu viajo a sós
mas sempre atrás dessa carranca
levo a mim mesmo e meu algoz
no seu espelho São Francisco
a minha imagem fez um lar
pra onde irão os meus terrores
quando seu leito enfim secar?
