She won't let another child die.Īyanda isn't the only young Unnatural in Venice. ![]() She has the strength and speed to battle them, and most importantly, the will. But Ayanda is unique-even though she's alive, she has the powers of a vampire. ![]() Venice, 1865: Sixteen-year-old Ayanda Draculesti doesn't remember her early life-all she knows is that she was found as a small child, wandering the streets of Venice with an intricate medallion and a mangled left arm. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Anderson imagined communities![]() ![]() The fallout of the coup and massacres contributed to the upheaval of Indonesia’s political order and the nation’s transition to a long authoritarian rule by the president Suharto. Atypically for an academic, he gained widespread fame as a graduate student for publishing the so-called “Cornell Paper,” a 1965 document in which he and his co-authors and fellow graduate students Ruth McVey and Frederick Bunnell challenged the Indonesian government’s argument that an attempted coup d’état (government overthrow) in 1966 was a Communist scheme, an argument that led to the mass murder of at least 500,000 accused Communists. He studied classics at the University of Cambridge in England, from which he graduated in 1957, and then returned to the United States to earn a PhD at Cornell, which he finished in 1967 with a dissertation on Indonesian nationalist politics. ![]() The son of an English mother and an Irish father from a lineage of Irish nationalists, Benedict Anderson grew up between China (where he was born while his father worked in a customs office), Ireland, and the United States. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments The trap by indigo wren![]() ![]() Diamonds in the rough, as they say.Īcid Souljah is a 17 year-old rapper from Texas and has been rapping since 2018. The creativity being pushed through the masses of uninspired emo rap clones and overly cocky trap metal artists is worth the search. I have to say, as an artist myself in this scene, I’m here for it. Whether through Twitter, Instagram, or SoundCloud itself, independent artists are pushing out quality, boundary-pushing music more than ever. Any niche genre-bending artist you want to find in this scene, you can. The current wave of underground rappers is a diverse crowd, with 100 Gecs nightcore trap and 808 rolls that leave your subwoofers in shambles. The underground community in hip-hop in this climate doesn’t give a fuck about what you think of their music as long as they think it’s a hit, it’s going live that night. The underground community, however, doesn’t give a fuck about pop music. ![]() If it isn’t, the pop music beating it in sales is ‘taking influence and paying homage’ or more likely directly lifting modern rap production styles for mass appeal and profit. Hip-hop is– without a doubt– the new pop music. ![]() Hip-hop is changing, and it’s changing in every direction. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Five little indians book cover![]() Nothing but trauma, and then what happens next?

The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history.

We’re simply told what it’s called, and that is that. However, I was disappointed that her Finder ability, which had a lot of potential, was never elaborated. She has an outgoing personality that makes this book a bit more interesting. I actually really liked her even though she isn’t terribly developed. ![]() Thorn’s character is a goth, she wears black, spikes, piercings, and has an attitude to match. ![]() Buried is a light read with an enticing premise that, unfortunately, fell flat with unoriginality and lack of exciting twists. When one day, it leads her to an ugly necklace, she’s soon thrown into a murder investigation. Thorn’s Finder ability pretty much says it all- she finds things. *A copy was provided by Flux Books for review purposes* ![]() |
