chapter one: that one red scary slavic wizard woman

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

it was a wonderful, and utterly delightful tuesday afternoon in the bustling city of new york. stephen strange was sitting down in one of his favourite cafes with wong, as they spoke about whatever the hell sorcerers speak about on a tuesday afternoon, when suddenly the doors to the once peaceful cafe slam open so hard it made the ground shake.

both strange and wong's eyes shot up to the door as they watch you march in with another girl following you closely.

"STEPHANIE!" you shout and strange groans out in frustration.

"what did i say to you about calling me that, y/n?"

"idk bro. ANYWAYS this, is my new friend, america chávez! america, this is stephanie strange and wong, the cool magic people i told you about!"

"hi! loving the cape by the way."

"america has these cool af powers that can open up portals to the multi-chorus!"

"verse."

"verse! the multiverse!"

"eeeeyyyup."

"AND she can also punch REALLY hard!"

wong and strange stare at each other in confusion before stephen waves his hands in front of you and america.

"ok, ok, ok. slow down. hey miss chávez it's nice to meet you. first off, the name's stephen strange. second, we are sorcerers, not magicians. and thirdly, you can open what's to where now?"

"portals to the multiverse. was he even listening?"

"he's and older guy, he might need a minute." you say which makes america snicker.

strange just rolls his eyes, "how do you do that?"

"do what?"

"open portals to the multiverse? that is impossible!"

"i have actually no clue. i just do." america shrugs.

"forget how she does it stephen! isn't it cool!? we've visited 3 different universes already!" you exclaim

"yeah, but we almost got stuck in the paint-a-verse."

"THE WHAT!?" both wong and strange shout.

you laugh, "the paint-a-verse! it's epic when your not almost coming apart into liquid form."

"or combining with each other!" america adds.

stephen sighs and looks across the table to the supreme.

"wong?"

"don't look at me, y/n is your student." wong answers with his hands up.

just as the doctor was about to speak, you interrupt him quickly

"ALRIGHT YES I KNOW, I KNOW, i would love to stick around for the lecture about why i was a bad girl but we actually need your help!"

"yes we do, and we have precisely," america looks down at her watch, "4 minuets before DISTRUCTION!"

"DISTRUCTION!?"

"omg wong sush she might hear us!" you whisper and cover his mouth with your hand. wong looks up at you and strange raises an eyebrow in question at you.

"who might hear you?"

"that one red scary slavic wizard woman!" america tells him, "she wears red, black and other goth colours OH and she wears a mc donalds M head band looking thing! what was her name again y/n?"

"red wizard?"

"no no no no it wasn't that."

"uhhhh red bi**h?"

"noooo. what's another type of red?"

"rose?"

"no."

"carmine?"

"nah, that's too much sophistication."

"ummm...... oH SCARLET!"

"YEAH! that's the one! the scarlet bi**h!"

"oof. i'm pretty sure it was witch."

"oh yeah, you're right. the scarlet witch."

"the scarlet witch."

"wanda maximoff!?" strange screams.

you and america nod vigorously with smiles that soon turn to grimaces when you hear the sound of a loud bang and the sight of dark clouds covering the once blue skies outside. everyone stares out of the floor to celling widows of the cafe in horror.

"you two are gonna tell me what the actual hell is going on right now! y/n!?"

you know by the expression on you tutor's face, you had to spill the beans asap and forget the towels for clean up because with the mess you were about to make, you'd need a lot more than a few measly pieces of cloth for that.

"uhhh.... hahaha ummm so basically. we kinda. oh um ok-"

"Y/N."

"SORRY WE NEED YOUR HELP TEACH!"

"why!?"

"cause, i took america on a mini journey with my sling but we kinda might have ended up where the scary witch lady was staying and um we made fun of her dead husband basically i called him an EE wifi router and then america said that she bets when he moans, it sounds like the windows start up sound- OH MY GOSH."

you and america burst out laughing, so hard that she fell over, holding her stomach.

"and when he goes in, it does the USB insert sound!"

"CHÁVEZ!"

strange is not amused one bit, and you two noticed this. you stop laughing then pull america up off of the floor and she brushes herself off. strange puts his book down and asks,

"so we all know why that was the most stupid thing you could possibly do, but you still haven't explained why you need my help."

"OH. so that made her angry, so she used her magic red stuff to hurt y/n so i got mad and through a rock at her and then opened a portal and then she, i guess got excited about that which is a little weird cause i'm a minor- but i digress. then she was like 'ohhh there you are america chávez. you have something i want, and i always get what i want'."

"and then i said 'hell no satan not today' and then we jumped through and she screamed after us."

"it sounded like the cries from hell." america whispers.

"oh god." wong sighs as he holds the bridge of his nose.

stephen is having a hard time taking in all of this sudden information that has been slapped in his face. he still hasn't even processed how you even met america in the first place! his head starts to spin so he takes a sip of his water, and that's when he hears you say,

"oh and i think it made her a teensy bit more angy cause i took her emo book."

strange's gaze shoot up to you and he analyzes the black book that you are holding in front of you. his eyes widen.

"the dark hold? yoU TOOK THE DARK HOLD?"

"stephen, are you just going to go past the fact that wanda maximoff HAS the DARK HOLD!?"

"oMg wong, stephanie! calm the heckers down. we got it all under control!"

*B A N G*

"really?"

"of course." you say, a shiver following right after.

suddenly, the four of you hear a voice, loud and clear in your minds and it kinda freaks you and america out, but stephen and wong look unfazed.

"you are playing with fire girls. you are very persistent. you must reeeaaalllyy wanna get burned."

"holy smack. y/n did you hear that!?"

"i did mary and i'm not gonna lie, that was kinda a turn on."

"y/n this is no joking matter! you have overstepped into dangerous territory and you have now endangered everyone!" strange scolds.

america shakes her head and stands in front of you, proactively.

"you can't just get mad at her mr. strange! it was the both of us!" america holds your hand tightly and smiles at you. you smile back and then hear stephen groan.

"FINE. however, you are going to have to come back with us to the sanction so we can look into this situation in detail-"

"hello there little girls. are you gonna make this easy, or are you gonna be hard on yourselves?"

"sorry doc but the is no time!" you declare and use your sling to open up a portal.

"no! y/n! you mustn't leave with the dark hold! give it to me now!"

"i'm sorry wong but no can do. i messed up, so i'm gonna fix it."

"it's not about who fixes it y/n. the dark hold is dangerous!"

"oh this chatter is getting boring! shut up and give me what i want."

"F**K LET'S DIP!"

"RIGHT BEHIND YOU Y/N!"

you and america run through the portal and it closes back instantly. strange and wong are still in their defensive stances, yet, wanda doesn't attack. she only let's out a spine chilling cackle and with a wisp of black, grey and red smoke, she disappears. the only thing left was the echo of the witches laugh.

"they're gonna get their a$$es kicked by that witch." strange mumbles.

How Latin America Could Be a Commodities Superpower! It Must Not Squander the Opportunity of the Next Commodity Boom

— August 10th, 2023 | Leaders | Natural Resources

A Combine Harvester Crops Soybeans in a Field. Image: Getty Images

Over five centuries Latin America and its 2bn hectares of land have been a vital source of food, fuel and metals for the world. First looted by colonisers for gold, silver, cotton and sugar, it later supplied rubber and oil to Europe and the United States. Now Latin America faces a chance to become the 21st century’s commodity superpower. This time, it must use that chance to boost development at home.

The transition to clean energy will spark decades of demand for the metals needed to multiply solar and wind parks, power lines and electric cars. Latin America holds more than a fifth of the global reserves for five critical metals. It already dominates the mining of copper, pervasive across green technologies, and holds nearly 60% of the world’s known resources of lithium, used in all main e-vehicle battery types. It is also rich in silver, tin and nickel. And it will benefit even if the green transition sputters, thanks to recent discoveries of oil that could see it quench 5-10% of the global demand by 2030.

As the world goes greener it will also become more populous. By 2050 it may have nearly 10bn mouths to feed, up from 8bn now. That will fuel demand for the carbs, proteins and delicacies that Latin America produces aplenty. It already supplies more than 30% of the world’s corn, beef, poultry and sugar, and 60% of the world’s soyabeans. Eight out of ten cups of the world’s Arabica coffee are made from the region’s beans. By 2032 its net food exports may exceed $100bn, the largest in the world by far.

The region’s draw as a trading partner will be accentuated by superpower rivalries. As the West scrambles to diversify away from China, it wants more deals with Latin America, a largely neutral and peaceful region. As monied rivals also eye its riches, a new great game is under way: just last month Vale, a Brazilian mining company, sold 13% of its green-metal arm to Saudi-owned entities for $3bn; China earmarked $1.4bn to develop lithium production in Bolivia; and Europe pledged to invest €45bn in Latin American green projects.

The problem is that Latin America’s affair with commodities has rarely been happy. Past struggles over the spoils have catalysed coups, inequality and populism. Hugo Chávez, a Venezuelan despot, squandered his country’s oil boom, spending lavishly while underinvesting in the industry and stuffing it with cronies. Oil windfalls in Colombia and Ecuador led to premature deindustrialisation. As export receipts have surged, so have domestic currencies, strangling other export industries and tying the region’s fate to a volatile market. Latin America has endured countless booms and busts. Local economies are lopsided: on average, 80% of its countries’ exports comes from the export of raw materials.

To do better this time round, Latin American countries must get several things right. First they need to make sure the boom does indeed take place. At present, politics is holding it back. As left-wingers and populists have gained power, many countries in the region have passed or threatened laws that would raise taxes, nationalise reserves or shut out foreign investment. It is right and proper that governments want to maximise their rents, especially given how often they have been robbed in the past. But if they seek to take too much, or keep changing their minds, their reserves will not soon be tapped.

Sharing the bounty with communities that live near mines is also crucial. Locals complain that extraction endangers their livelihoods. This year protests stopped work for months at a Peruvian copper mine accounting for 2% of the world’s supply. Those communities are frequently ignored by national governments; mining firms have too often been involved in scandals or ruined the local environment. Unless both do more to alleviate grievances, progress will remain precarious. Money, often fought over by local bosses, cannot solve it all.

And governments should spend their money wisely. When prices are high they should stash some of the windfall in rainy-day funds that they can tap into to prop up state budgets when times get tough. Instead of splashing cash in a bid to build cutting-edge battery factories from scratch, governments should invest in the basics that enable new industries to emerge: education, health, infrastructure and research. The World Bank estimates that Brazil’s infrastructure-financing gap until 2030 is almost $800bn, 3.7% of gdp each year. Latin America has a historic chance to grow out of its resource trap. It should seize it. ■

Chilean paleontologists have released their findings on a new duck-billed dinosaur named Gonkoken nanoi, which inhabited Chilean Patagonia in the late Cretaceous, in the late age of the Dinosaur, approximately 70 mya.

The name Gonkoken nanoi means similar to koken or swan in Tehuelche language,  the indigenous people that inhabited the region where this species was found, and nanoi in honort to Mario “Nano” Ulloa, who helped during expeditions. It is estimated that it could have measured between 3.5 and 4 meters in length and weighed between 600 kilograms and one ton.

Chilean Patagonia could have been a refuge for these primitive forms of hadrosaurs, which would have migrated to the Southern Hemisphere long before more advanced forms, and it is believed these hadrosaur may have even reached Antarctica, when it was connected to South America.

Christián Chávez, Mexican actor and singer who was extorted with his sexuality.

First of all I apologize if my English is not that good, because although I understand the language it is not because I have studied it, it is because of all the fics I have read lol

Christian Chávez is a Mexican singer and actor known for his participation in the successful television series "Rebelde" and for being a member of the musical group RBD. If you are not from Latin America, it is certain that you do not know them, but RBD is one of the most important groups in Latin pop culture in the 2000s despite its short transition in the music scene, said cultural phenomenon that led to the soap opera "Rebelde".

Christian Chávez rose to fame in 2004 when he played the role of "Giovanni Méndez López" in the Mexican soap opera "Rebelde." The soap opera became an international phenomenon and spawned the musical group RBD, in which Chávez played an important role as a vocalist. RBD became a very successful group in Latin America and other parts of the world, releasing numerous albums and popular singles.

"Rebelde" influenced the fashion and style of the youth of the time. Characters in the series had distinctive fashion styles that fans would want to emulate, from clothing to makeup. The aesthetics of "Rebelde" became a fashion reference in many places. The series and its music also influenced Education: The series addressed topics relevant to young people, such as friendship, love, rebellion and the challenges of adolescence. Additionally, he promoted the importance of education. The use of school uniforms in the plot also influenced the way fashion and education were perceived in some places.

We return to 2023, the year in which Christián Chávez, together with his RBD colleagues, will return to the stage, thanks to the extensive concert tour that the group announced a few months ago. For Chávez it will be a special moment, well, if it will be the first to do it as himself.

For years, the singer filled stadiums as part of the popular band, however, he could never truly feel free, since, at that time, he kept his sexual orientation private. But in 2007 he was forced to come out of the closet, after some photographs of his wedding were leaked, it is one of the lowest moments on Mexican television. But before telling you about the terrifying experience that Chávez experienced, I give you context of the story:

RBD, the musical group that was formed from the successful telenovela "Rebelde," had a close relationship with Televisa, the media company that produced the series. Here is a summary of the history of RBD and its relationship with Televisa:

Formation of RBD: RBD originated as part of the Mexican soap opera "Rebelde", which aired from 2004 to 2006. The soap opera was produced by Televisa and followed the story of a group of young students at an elite school. The actors who played the main characters in the series also formed the musical group RBD.

International Success: RBD quickly became an international phenomenon. The group's music, which combined pop and Latin music, attracted a wide Spanish-speaking audience around the world. Their albums, singles, and concert tours were hugely successful, and they became one of the most popular pop bands in Latin America.

Relationship with Televisa: During RBD's years of success, the group maintained a close relationship with Televisa. The company promoted the group's music and projects through its media platform, which contributed significantly to RBD's popularity.

Televisa, officially known as Grupo Televisa, is one of the largest Spanish-speaking media companies in the world. Founded in 1955, Televisa is headquartered in Mexico City, Mexico. The company operates in various sectors of the media industry, including broadcast television, pay television, content production, radio, music, film and telecommunications. Regarding their ability to "block" actors, it is important to understand that media companies, such as Televisa, have significant power in the entertainment industry due to their influence and resources. This can translate into the ability to influence the careers of actors, presenters and other talent. Televisa, in particular, has been known for being one of the leading producers of soap operas and entertainment programs in Latin America. Actors who work in soap operas and Televisa programs often gain great visibility and popularity in the region. As a result, Televisa can have an important influence on the careers of actors who collaborate with the company.

Now that you have context, let's go back to Christian. Christian said in an interview in 2022 that he already had a husband when he joined RBD, but he had not yet 'come out of the closet', and Televisa found out because they wanted to extort the company with photos of his wedding.

Christian: "My producer called me and said, 'Hey, are you married?' And I was like, 'Oh, why? 'Someone got the photos (of your wedding) and they're trying to blackmail Televisa.' At that time, we were at the top and there were a lot of kids going to the concerts and following us. Then he said: 'This is it. Televisa wants to deny everything,'" he recalled in an interview. Christian did not agree, so, not yet ready to open this part of his life to the public, he wrote a letter in which he talked about love and being the people we really are, although he explained that he does not use the word gay, because he was afraid that this could affect his career.

"It was very difficult for me because I was only 23 years old and I didn't have any guidance. There was Ricky Martin, but he hadn't come out (of the closet) yet. I didn't know how to (handle it), especially because they forced me to do it and I wasn't ready." .

Luckily, his fans took the news very well, but the television station executives did not think the same, they even took away the lead role in an important project, because it would no longer be "credible" to the public. With few opportunities in acting, Christian turned to music, where he experienced something similar.

With his career completely stagnant, the singer was plunged into a deep depression that led him to try to take his life: "I was so depressed and so destroyed at that moment. I thought that was it. I tried to commit suicide and there was a moment in my life that I could say that I lost everything. I had no money. It was a joke for the media. I hated myself," he added.

RBD ended because they were fed up with Televisa

Among the revelations that the singer made was that all the protagonists of RBD signed a contract before starting, but they never imagined the great success that the soap opera and the group would have, as they even filled the Los Angeles Coliseum.

All of them continued to earn the same, unlike what happens for example in the United States, and he made the comparison with "Friends", whose protagonists were earning more as the series became more successful.

"That's why the group ended, because we were already fed up," he said.

November 2023. I've long since accepted that solo Power Girl stories are probably always going to be dreadful, and the dreary first issue of the new POWER GIRL book by Leah Williams (following on her equally dreary POWER GIRL SPECIAL, which at least had Marguerite Sauvage) suggests that that's not going to change any time soon. Some creative highlights of this bold new direction for Power Girl:

A stupid name-change. Rather than calling Power Girl "Kara," which is of course her actual name, or "Karen Starr," the name she's been using since 1977, she's now called "Paige," an arbitrary suggestion from the "Super-Family" so they won't confuse her with their real cousin, the one they care about. Come on.

Still more insufferable gay-baiting. The New 52 WORLDS' FINEST series with Power Girl and the Huntress was relentless in this regard, and of course anything involving Harley Quinn is always on beyond zebra. This time, Power Girl is gal-palling it up with former Teen Titan Lilith Clay (now calling herself Omen). If you just flipped through these books without reading closely, you would assume Kara and Lilith were girlfriends — they live together and walk around holding hands, and they share some kind of astral-psychic bond — but rather than finally committing to Power Girl actually being gay, there are various wink-wink-nudge-nudge ass-covering asides to assure us that "Paige" and Lilith are totes no-homo besties. Come on.

More screwing around with her powers. DC has been through this repeatedly with Power Girl: de-powering her, changing her powers, trying to give her weird magical abilities that aren't part of the standard Kryptonian power set, rinse, repeat. This time, Power Girl has been made over as "a rookie psychic" with a reality-shattering "astral-punching" ability obviously stolen, quite shamelessly, from Marvel heroine America Chávez — who, if you aren't familiar, is a reality-punching, super-strong lesbian from a utopian all-lesbian parallel dimension. So … Power Girl is now a totes no-homo DC knockoff of America? Come on!

Then, there's the cumbersome yellow explanatory caption box:

Does this mean EVERY version of Kara must now have been sent to Earth "to look after her younger cousin"? That was not part of Supergirl's pre-Crisis history, and it certainly wasn't part of Power Girl's! At the risk of being a joyless feminist buzzkill, defining DC's most powerful superheroines in terms of their erstwhile caregiving role for a younger male relative (in the face of the near-extinction of their world and people, yet) is a really bad look. I hate it!

How much of this should be blamed on Williams and how much is editorially imposed is hard to say — DC has always struggled to find anything to do with Power Girl, or even ways to portray her that don't just come down to "What if Supergirl were kind of mean and really stacked, with a more confusing origin?" — but it certainly isn't good.
