Fix-it Fic Roundup

#closeddoorchallenge

———————————————————

Season 3 was a major disappointment. We were shut out of Nick and June’s last night together in episode 3. What happened behind the door? Did they talk about the future? The past? Was there fear? Love? Anger? Silence? Luckily the show is only one narrative. One version of this story. Below are works by fan fiction authors on A03.

Everything from 😫😢 to 🔥🔥 to 🥰🥰

Every single one is superior to the absence of content we got from the show

Check these out over the hiatus and be sure to comment and give the authors some love.

AFRICAN & BLACK PHILOSOPHY: Getting Started

Hello everyone! As many of us who study philosophy in some form are likely aware, people of color, especially black philosophers, are radically underrepresented in the field (composing only 1.32% of all philosophers in the US). In order to combat such marginalization, and in attempt to help amplify black voices within the field of philosophy, I have complied a series and links & information here for learning more about African/black philosophy, especially within the US. Please feel free to add to this post if you feel that anything is missing, esp if ur a black person!

Overview:

According to Wikipedia.org: “African philosophy is the philosophical discourse produced by indigenous Africans and their descendants, including African Americans. African philosophers may be found in the various academic fields of philosophy, such as metaphysics, epistemology, moral philosophy, and political philosophy. One particular subject that many African philosophers have written about is that on the subject of freedom and what it means to be free or to experience wholeness.”

Articles to start with: 

“What African Philosophy Can Teach You About the Good Life.”

“A truly African philosophy.”

“African Philosophy.”

“Descartes was wrong: ‘a person is a person through other persons.’” 

“Does Western Philosophy Have Egyptian Roots?” 

“What You Should Know About Contemporary African Philosophy.” 

“Philosophy in Africa - A Case of Epistemic Injustice in the Academy.” 

“The African Enlightenment.”

“The Radical Philosophy of Egypt.” 

“The first God.” 

“African Philosophy Is More Than You Think It Is.” 

And some introductory texts:

Barry Hallen, A Short History of African Philosophy. Bloomington and Indianapolis: Indiana University Press (2009).

Samuel Oluoch Himbo, An Introduction to African Philosophy. Lanham et al.: Rowman and Littlefield (1998). 

Dismas Masolo, African Philosophy in Search of Identity. Bloomington and Indianapolis: Indiana University Press (1994).

Kwasi Wiredu, A Companion to African Philosophy. Malden, Oxford, Victoria: Blackwell Publishing (2004). (PDF version linked here.)

Important contemporary black philosophers:

What was Danny glovers important thing????

Alright. 

SPOILERS

So, there was a scene where Peter Parker was looking for Donald Glover’s character. He asked Karen, his suit, to bring up the stats. If you saw, it was revealed that Glover’s character’s name is Aaron Davis. In the comics, Aaron Davis and his brother, Jefferson Davis, were a crime duo. They would do burglaries and stuff like that. But then Jefferson fell in love and left that lifestyle behind. Meanwhile, Aaron continued. In the movie, when Spidey is talking to Aaron, he tells Spidey that he has a “nephew” that he wants to protect. This means that Jefferson and his wife already had the kid. Now, who is that wife? Rio Morales. And who is the kid? Miles….Morales. Donald Glover plays Miles Morales’ uncle who will end up becoming a supervillain by the name of the Prowler. The Prowler ends up being the first supervillain that Spider-Man Miles Morales fights. :) Pretty nifty reference, huh? 

So Miles MCU confirmed by Donald Glover

Preach

this is a friendly little reminder @ the skam fandom that:

- sana and the balloon squad are all poc, stop erasing that part of them

- if you are a racist and islamophobic person then please leave because no one needs whites who fetishize white mlm but hate on every poc/muslim character

- if you are white and poc call you out on being racist then you cannot argue back saying you were not racist or that they are being racist towards you because listen up REVERSE RACISM IS NOT FUCKING REAL

- stop sending shit to any muslim and/or poc in this fandom and stop correcting them because listen up buddy, us white people do NOT get to say what is or is not racist

- stop being a fucking dick no one needs your annoying ass here

The feels !!!

I can’t believe I’m up here right now. When I was just a kid growing up in Washington Heights, I dreamed about standing right here on this stage.

I’m a social vampire u gotta invite me into ur conversation or I cannot enter
