Why We Gotta Talk About Court Reform–Now! — Filosofa’s Word

Russia’s unofficial ‘tsarina’ Investigative journalists say they’ve discovered Putin’s ‘slush fund’ and how he showers his rumored lover in luxury — Meduza

In a two-part investigative report released in Russian and English on Tuesday, February 28, 2023, journalists at Proekt revealed new details about an alleged “slush fund” used to finance Vladimir Putin’s lavish private life and the lives of his closest companions, including retired gymnast Alina Kabaeva, the rumored mother of at least three children with Russia’s president. The investigation focuses first on a Cyprus-based company called Ermira Consultants (including how it profits off vodka merchandized with Putin’s name) and then on a palace constructed outside Valdai. Throughout both stories, readers learn about the enormous entourage of relatives, friends, and acquaintances who serve as nominal owners of Putin’s alleged vast wealth. Meduza summarizes Proekt’s main findings.

Writing Process Wednesdays, and, Character Bibles and Subplots

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

  So my hero’s wife, Lucy FancyQuadroonNYMet  is trapped elsewhere, and thus has her own subplot, which I began to plan out before doing very much (if any) of her character bible or voice journal work.   

That turned out to become a serious problem for me, once I began writing the main plot scenes, and came along to her first subplot scene in       whobyfireiwilltmpcover

Also, having already tried to put too many subplot and scene notes in too many spreadsheets and online reminders, as well as on paper, I was sure that I had notes on her voice, and the reason I wanted to use first person present tense rather than my usual either first person third or third person third (aka storyteller ) for her voice!

Have You Heard of Alice Augusta Ball? – collaboration with learners

Yes, Leprosy was before our time! But if you have heard of it, you should have heard of Alice Augusta Ball. She was an American chemist who developed the “Ball Method”, the most effective treatment for leprosy during the early 20th century. She was the first woman and first African American to receive a master’s degree from the University of Hawaii, and was also the university’s first female and African American chemistry professor.
