Say hello to Fiern!! She is an elf that can't speak due to the 'blessing' (more like a curse) she was born with given to her by the Demigod of Plague, Beset. The only way she can speak is through her blessing which is the mouth on the back of her neck, though it only speaks in the language of the Gods (which sounds like screaming/gurgling to mortals). She was taken from her island Nytm after her younger siblings and parents were killed by Orcs. She was taken by them and sold to the highest bidder. The noble who purchased her clipped her ears and made her do anything and everything he wished. She was able to escape after years of struggle, and started her path to a new life.

She is also on artfight for those interested!! <3

Well, this is kind of an emergency so I'd say the switch is warranted! And I personally don't mind, 'cuz I know it's you! After all, it's not about what you look like, but who you are that matters (corny, I know 😅).

There's got to be a way to make you strong quickly. Kinito ran some sort of repair software on himself when he got hurt by Sam earlier... maybe we can harness that program to put some metaphorical meat on your code?

Please, just give this all try? Pretty please? With a cherry on top? -🐍

Perhaps the most dizzying example of the divide between Barbie’s script and what Barbie sells comes in the form of cellulite. Early in the movie, a patch of dimpled flesh appears on Barbie’s thigh. This prompts her journey to reality, where, “after decades of fretting about girls’ wanting to be as perfect as Barbie,” we see “Barbie struggling to be as resilient as us,” NYTM explains. “This is the movie’s brazen magic trick,” the article continues. “Barbie is no longer an avatar of women’s insufficiency, a projection of all we’re not; instead, she becomes a reflection of how hard — but worth it — it is to be all that we are.” This is a nice way to wrap up Barbie with a bow, but it unravels when movie and marketing are considered in totality (which they must be, as Barbie is itself a $100 million marketing campaign for Mattel). Among the official Barbie beauty collaborations is an anti-cellulite body lotion, $39, promising to “boost collagen and plump out creases” while “providing visible lift.”

Of course, rather than explicitly use the words “anti-cellulite,” the body lotion product copy describes the physical characteristics of cellulite and how to “treat” it — e.g., “boost collagen” and “plump out creases” as well as “fine lines and wrinkles” to “leave skin plump” and “sleek.” These are all direct quotes! This is a not-uncommon trick in beauty marketing, particularly since the mainstreaming of body positivity movement.

The Second Avenue subway line hit 155,000 daily riders last Friday, the authority found. On Wednesday, officials plan to release the authority’s ridership figures, which rely on MetroCard swipes as well as hand counts by staff members at stations that were not part of the data analyzed by The Times. “We’re pleased to be on track to meet our ridership projections,” she said.

We are thoroughly enjoying seeing Christi Johnson’s contemporary work living harmoniously with textiles from generations past ✨ It was so much fun to hear Christi talk about her process and inspiration at the NYTM event. All too often with older pieces we can only hypothesize what was in the creators mind, so it’s really fantastic to have an opportunity to learn from and interact with life with textile artists in real life. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #christijohnson #honorhandmadetraditions #texteart #textileartists #interwovennarratives #newyorktextilemonth (at Heirloom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjJAf7fLEhD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Want to keep a secret? Don’t discuss it at the Oyster Bar entrance on the lower level (of Grand Central Terminal). The space’s proportions and vaulted tile ceiling amplify sound, which bounces from one arch support to its diagonal opposite. People have called this the “Whispering Gallery” almost since the day it opened.”

Photograph by Frank English (1988) and quoted text come from the centennial celebration of Grand Central Terminal by the New York Transit Museum. Due to its closure because of the Covid pandemic, the museum is hosting its Grand Central exhibit at a special free website...check it out here: https://www.gcthistory.com/

What’s your daily routine?

I usually get up around 7am. First thing is to get myself situated, shower, brush my teeth. Then if the weather allows it, I will take a morning walk, and if it’s not the best weather outside I just read and meditate at home. After that, I make breakfast and wake up the kids to get ready for school and the day. After breakfast, I start my day with my first call at 9am a daily stand-up. Then I create the task list for the day and start to tackle that list while taking breaks to do homeschooling and interact with the kids.

Combining parenthood and entrepreneurship can be challenging. How do you manage your family and your company?

Having a clear schedule is the best way to handle all things family and kids because at any moment there is so much going on. With a clear schedule, I can then build the flexibility I need, swap out things when needed and just make sure any fires that pop up personal or professional I have the mental space to tackle. I also have many standard operating processes in both my house and my company so if t I am not available, someone else is and can hop in.

“I have many standard operating processes in both my house and my company.”

What’s the advice you would give to an aspiring entrepreneur?

Stay persistent. Life is all about curveballs. The sooner you accept that “the game is rigged and fair” doesn’t exist, the sooner you gain the mental freedom to just DO, without worrying about if you’re doing it wrong or right.

What’s your biggest failure as an entrepreneur?

My biggest failure was being fearful of my finances. This was a huge failure for me because my personal financial insecurities trickled into my business and because of that some business ventures I have had failed. I was afraid to charge my worth or even charge at all. Once I started tackling this fear I because more successful overall.

I was afraid to charge my worth or even charge at all.

And your biggest win?

I would say one of my biggest wins was getting into the CUNY startups accelerator when I was in college. It gave me a huge sense of confidence in my work as an entrepreneur. Then when I made it to the Top 4 it was clear that I had all this untapped potential inside me that I needed to embrace.

A word on your book “The Art of Getting Sh*t Done”— How do you go from being a dreamer to a doer?

You go from being a dreamer to being a doer by starting. Life is a journey and so is everything in life including entrepreneurship. You will feel overwhelmed at times, and think you don’t have everything you want to start or continue that journey. This could be true, but you will always have everything that you need within you!

Just start, here, today, now with what you have and EVERYTHING else will fall into you path.

You raised more than $9,000 to fund the Black Podcasting Awards. What was your strategy and in other words, the key to success for someone wanting to start a crowdfunding campaign?

The key to the success of that campaign was tapping into my network and sharing what I was doing. I did a lot of cold tweeting, random live streams, texting, emailing, and posting on social media. When we were less than 48 hours from the deadline and below half of our goal I told myself that we would not only meet, but exceed our goal. Then I pulled out every card I had and made it happen. Tap into your network! Share your work! Be your biggest champion.

When we were less than 48 hours from the deadline and below half of our goal I told myself that we would not only meet, but exceed our goal.

You’ve been a wedding officiant for 5 years. Tell us more about that!

Well, I am a nerd! I love learning and doing new things. When I became a wedding officiant I was on a major “Side Hustle” journey. I loved the flexibility that being an entrepreneur offered but I was also aware that I had bills and a child to take care of so I needed to make money. I got certified so it could be an income stream and also so that I could go to more weddings. At the time of getting certified I had only been to one or two weddings in my entire life. What’s the best way to get invited to a wedding? By being a vendor! Being a wedding officiant satisfied a professional and personal need all at once. Since getting certified I have helped four couples say “I Do”.

“I loved the flexibility that being an entrepreneur offered but I was also aware that I had bills and a child to take care of.”

What’s your number one rule for a successful online event?

Start from the goal and work your way backward! The golden rule to community engagement around your brand? Be yourself. When I try to get all fancy with the content people don’t really resonate with it. I get the most engagement when I remain my crazy, doing-the-most self.

Tell me about your thoughts on diversity in tech.

Diversity in tech is essential. At least as a concept. When it is put into action, often time companies miss the mark on what needs to be done to achieve this goal. The systematic issues that come from the government, constitution, and institutions built many years ago consistently leave diversity initiatives gasping for air. The only time true diversity will be achieved is when companies and their leaders look at it as a staple in business success from day one, not as an afterthought to not get attacked by the public.

The systematic issues that come from the government, constitution, and institutions built many years ago consistently leave diversity initiatives gasping for air.

What steps can tech companies take to be more diverse and inclusive?

They can start by taking a look within, “Do we have unconscious biases?”. Then from there, they can begin to look at their team and goals and see if the picture that they see reflects their short and long-term goals as a company. There are many, many, many diverse team members and founders out there. Diversity in race, ethnicity, gender, orientation, geographic location, education level, age, and the list goes on and on. But before a company can embrace that diversity and become inclusive they have to take a look at their own flaws as to why have they never seen this before? Why did they not think of this before? Then and only then will companies become diverse and inclusive in an authentic way.
