My badass birthday, my happy world (Part 293)....

Badass Birthday

On this date in 1906, in St. Louis Missouri, Josephine Baker was born.

Josephine Baker was a dancer, singer and actress. But as she was a Black woman, in the Early 20th Century, in America, she couldn't reach her full potential due to that American staple: Racism. So she headed off to Europe, specially Paris. There, in the roaring 20s, her career blew up. He fame was unparalleled. She was the first Black woman to star in a motion picture, a French silent film. She was known as "Black Venus", "Bronze Venus", "Black Pearl" and "Creole Goddess".

She married a French industrialist in 1937, and thereafter became a French citizen and renounced her American citizenship. Together, she and her husband adopted 12 children.

During World War II, she worked with the French Resistance, the British Secret Service and the US Office of Strategic Services as well. After the war she received many medals from the French for it. When touring in the USA, she refused to perform before segregated audiences, and worked for the Civil Rights movement in the US, even tho she wasn't a US citizen anymore.

She passed away in 1975 at the age of 68, having led an amazing badass life.

Night arrives with her purple Legion (Part 14).....

Legion Lore

Shrinking Violet

Salu Digby was born on the planet Imsk, all of who's inhabitants have the ability to shrink themselves down to tiny size, although she specifically had a greater skill with those powers and could shrink to microscopic size (don't ask, it was the 60s).

True to her name, Vi was a shy retiring person, but she nonetheless was an active and respectable Legionnaire. She was a member of the Legion Espionage Squad. After several years, she entered into a relationship with Duplicate Boy of the Heroes Of Lallor (another superteam unaffiliated but working parallel to the Legion).

After many more years, Vi was kidnapped by Imskian radicals and she was replaced by a Durlan (see Chameleon Boy) who impersonated her for several months. During this time, the Durlan, Yera, returned the affections of Colossal Boy, who always had feelings for Vi. This raised the suspicions of some other Legionnaires who invested and discovered the charade. Upon doing so, they then rescued Vi.

After she recovered from her ordeal, she returned to active duty, angrily broke up with Duplicate Boy, remained angry at Yera (though she wasn't told exactly what was happening by the radicals, and she wasn't prosectured), and started a short relationship with Sun Boy.

Later still, she entered into a longstanding lesbian relationship with Lightning Lass. After the Legion disbands, she returns to Imsk. There she is drafted into the war against Braal, the home planet of Comic Boy. In the battle of Vernado Boy, they are on opposite side, but she sees Cosmic Boy hurt, she rescues him from her own fellow Imskians. He, being disoriented and in pain, attacks her, which causes her to lose her right eye and scar her face. She has he eye replaced, but keeps the scar as a reminder, and she and Cosmic Boy reconcile.

A rough life.

Yeah, this is pretty much how I feel about it. I remember in 2007/2008 coworkers of mine stated they never supported Bush in Irag or the Republicans' in Congress and I laughed in their faces. Of COURSE they did both those things. But when both became unpopular, suddenly they knew nothing about it.

After that laugh, I let it go. Why bother? I thought. Not this time. Once this debacle of an 'administration' is over, if any of his supports even TRY to rewrite history and say they weren't a supporter of his, I'm calling them out on it. Over and over and over again. If they won't own up to it, then I'm gonna MAKE them.

It appears, thankfully, that the last one has fallen through, and the middle one may be on it's way to defeat (or at least tied up in court until he's no longer in the White Trash House), but they still won't spend that money on Medicare, or Sesame Street, or kids lunches.
