ANOUNCEMENT: 9th PoC in SF Carnival!
Go see the Carnival!. Read! Be educated! Become aware!

There's an interplay between art and speculative fiction and how we, PoC, see ourselves vs how we are seen that makes me think thinky thoughts about that application in fiction.

There's also a history lesson about Bengali SciFi. BENGALI! If your mind is blown with yay, go find :)

There's also a footnote regarding the naming of selves from PoC to NWP and more across the Diaspora.

NB: I have had a problem using the term NW for individuals. I've discovered I'm more comfortable saying NWP - it feels less like I'm shouting some equivalent of n***** and more like I'm discussing a huge swathe of the earth's population. But I, like the current host, invite everyone to define themselves how they wish in comments to the Carnival (and yes she handles it much better than I did)

	Thank you. I was inspired by PoC Daily to figure out what kind of PoC Art I like and whom and to use them as such. Which reminds me. The icons you put up in your journals. Can they be used as bases? Can tex be added? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, fantastic! I'm thrilled poc_daily did this for you. Yay us the members of the comm. :) Everything you can find that's tagged like so can be used as a base. I'm not proprietary unless I've created the image from which the icon is made myself. Also, I have gone out and tracked down the works of F. Morrison. I like his kids a whole lot. :) Thank you!
