                            Delores Fisher How does one choose and cultivate identity when emerging from complex realities that defy stereotypical definitions of self hood? Where does one find how to “be” in today’s technological electronic miasma?  What happens to the “me” of my life when I realize a nebulous sense of not belonging, an intersection of multiple realities [i] with a pinch of additional apparent quirkiness attached to my marginalized physical presence which does not graph onto the surface of twenty first century being that embodies the beautiful “it"?  Sadly, our most best friend at dawn’s light and day’s night--the Internet-- has become a hotbed pillow talk companion for oppressive/aggressive Antonin Artaud theater of cruelty . [ii] It’s common place now. We are each other’s objects. Perhaps . . . ...

San Diego Comic Con 2015 was quite an event this year with more interactive family oriented events outside the Convention Center for those who did not(it sold out REALLY fast for 2015) or could not purchase a ticket. As you all know, I like to cover the outside events and have a blast with cosplayers who dress up in costume for what ever reason. I watched as several young bloggers mingled with the crowds, asking questions and writing down responses. I had to smile. San Diego Comic Con is an event during which bloggers can cover a plethora of topics  from diverse perspectives.(See my series of posts from the Sonictapestry Blog : https://sonictapestry.wordpress.com/2015/07/10/delores-fishers-comic-con-chronicles-2015-1/    https://sonictapestry.wordpress.com/2015/07/15/delores-fishers-comic-con-chronicles-2/ https://sonictapestry.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/delores-fishers-comic-con-chronicles-3/  This year was filled with inter-active outside events as ...

Many of my generation hoped that the brutality manifested during our United States Civil Rights era would not linger to erupt onto lived experiences of our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Yet . . it did. Emanuel A.M.E. Church and its generational congregations over the centuries has played a part in American history since the 1800s.The name Emanuel in various spellings translates broadly into "God with us."  http://www.behindthename.com/name/emmanuel As an historic African American denomination, the AME church and Emanuel AME is a member of a socially pro-active Christian (African Methodist Episcopal) group with religious roots in the racially torn America of its main founder Richard Allen during the 1700s http://www.ame-church.com/our-church/our-history/ Paraphrasing a community of faith theme stated by conscious newscasts: members of the congregation (for the church is really its body of members who worship in a building) are asking people t...

It has been a while since I posted on Carpenoctum/Notesong and on Twitter https://twitter.com/deloresfisher . So much is happening in the world and here in the United States that I did not want to rush to join the waves of knee jerk responses that have been written as comment on every "controversial" social media event. Before continuing this post,however, I must state that I will soon address the mass shooting in South Carolina at the historically Black Emanuel AME church in which 9 people were gunned down while in a bible study. //www.cnn.com/2015/06/17/us/charleston-south-carolina-shooting/ AND NOW........TODAY"S POST: Diversity today is a buzz word. For those with disabilities, it is a strange situation, one of not really being seen in our humanity---"I didn't notice your spasms," of being stared down  for not being within the norm, or treated like a helpless entity----"Oh, you poor thing. Let me get that for you dear." without having be...
