I am bound by a chain formed of dark delusions, of disturbing dreams, of restless thoughts, of forebodings and inexplicable anxieties.

If there’s one birthday party in the world you can’t afford to miss, it’s gotta be the 75th anniversary of Wonder Woman.
From the moment she was created by William Moulton Marston, Elizabeth Holloway Marston, and artist Harry G. Peter, Diana has transcended her two dimensional origins and become a figure standing for everything from women’s liberation to representation in the LGBTQIA+ community to a literal ambassador of the United Nations.
Whether you’ve read the comics, watched her animated adventures, perfected the Lynda Carter spin, or are just psyched to see her finally get a movie of her own, there’s no doubt that Wonder Woman has touched humanity in powerful, culture-shifting ways. To celebrate, here are a few of the Black Nerd Problems staff’s favorite Wondy moments of all time.
Read on here. [x]

Atlanta - “Juneteenth”

A Latina student at a university in Boston said that her professor on Thursday handed back her paper and told her, in front of the class, “This is not your language.”
After looking at more of the comments the professor left on her literature review, Suffolk University sociology major Tiffany Martínez noticed that the professor had circled the word “hence” and had written, “This is not your word,” underlining “not” twice.
And at the top of her paper, the professor had written, “Please go back & indicate where you cut & paste.”
Martínez, an aspiring professor who was born and raised in the Bronx, told BuzzFeed News that her professor had called her to the front of the senior seminar course on Thursday to receive her graded paper when she made the language comment.
“She spoke loudly enough that students at the back of the room heard and asked if I was OK after class,” Martínez said.
She felt terrified after the incident.
“I spent the rest of the class going back through every single line, every single citation to make sure that nothing had been plagiarized, even though I knew I hadn’t,” she said.

Man….
It be like that i remember one time a professor handing me back my paper saying see me after class. Paper was so well written he didn’t believe i wrote it based on my appearance told me to email him the file so he could run it through a plagiarism checker. Even then he still thought i paid someone or a family member wrote it.
Be sure to check out her actual blog post on the matter: https://vivatiffany.wordpress.com/2016/10/27/academia-love-me-back/
They link to it in the buzzfeed article, but I know not everyone will click through to it.
It’s really worth reading Martinez’s personal thoughts.

Dear me,
You’ve always loved history. Regardless of geography or blood, knowing how the past functioned, not in dates and names but in daily details, has always been fascinating. So this is not unknown ground for you. And Renaissance Faires are fun: spending the day outside, geeking endlessly about the minutia of history with other like-minded folk, doing hands on demonstrations for kids. There’s nothing here you don’t like.
Sure, you may be the only Black person there, definitely one of a few, but don’t let that stop you. The chances of anyone throwing rocks at you are low. The chances of anyone laughing at you are high, but when has that stopped you before? […]
Some will try to tell you that you are wrong, out of time, out of place. They are wrong. African people have always been travelers, traders, and scholars. The Mediterranean has never been impenetrable and we have always been everywhere.
Their ignorance is not the truth.

“Maybe you’ve heard of Ariell Johnson and Amalgam Comics and Coffeehouse in Philadephia, PA. Since opening last year, Amalgam has gotten plenty of press coverage as a comic book store/coffee shop owned and operated by a colorfully loc’d Black woman (and fellow Storm fan, OF COURSE!). She’s doing work many of us have dreamed of — owning our own spaces and showcasing Black art. We caught up with her in the midst of her busy schedule to talk fandom, snacks, and how to create a clean, well-lit place for comics and events.
BNP: In your IgnitePhilly talk, you speak so passionately about the importance of representation in the media we love. When/how did you first come to realize that comics mattered?
Ariell: Honestly, I didn’t think about it too much when I was younger. I think Black people in particular are used to NOT being seen in media. It’s been that way for so long, you don’t really think about it. I can’t pinpoint the exact moment when I realized just how important it was. Maybe it was a slow, natural progression, I don’t know. I just started getting tired of not seeing myself.
I’m surrounded by Black women who put in real work and make things happen. Black women are my super heroes everyday, so why do I need to look so hard to find them in comics, TV, and movies? It doesn’t make sense to me, and it shouldn’t make sense to anyone in my opinion. Everyone has a right to be seen, the right to have their story told, the right to have the spotlight on them from time to time…“
