I hope Pedro Zamora is doing okay, in whatever afterlife he's in. He did so much, and meant so much, and it's so frustrating how little he's remembered. I hope he's happy and at peace.

he deserves it.

Pedro Zamora

(February 29, 1972 – November 11, 1994) was a Cuban-American AIDS educator and television personality. As one of the first openly gay men with AIDS to be portrayed in popular media, Zamora brought international attention to HIV/AIDS and LGBTQ issues and prejudices through his appearance on MTV's reality television series, The Real World: San Francisco

This November 2024 marks 30 years since Pedro’s passing

Trans Man Noah Diaz

The first time I saw Rise of the Beasts, I read Noah as a Trans Man, and that headcanon just solidified after my second viewing.

I’ll get the heavy reasons out of the way first, and work down to the most silly ones.

The section that was here before has been removed, because I was overstepping and someone rightly called me out on it. However. I’m not going to lie and pretend I didn’t do what I did. I deleted the comment that called me out because it made me feel bad, I panicked, and deleted it to save my own ego. It was wrong, it was cowardly, it was fucked up, and I shouldn’t have done it.

I truly am sorry, and have spent the last day sitting with myself until I stopped trying to excuse my behavior and just acknowledged what I did. I am not asking for forgiveness, I can only try going forward to be the kind of person deserving of it.

For now, I’m taking a break from this blog, leaving it on a queue, and I won’t be posting here for a while. Even though that isn’t the kind of person I want to be, I need to reckon with the fact that that is the kind of person I am. I’m sorry, once again.

1994 was also the year Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was put into place, which, for those too young to remember, was basically a policy allowing queer and trans people to serve in the military so long as they remained closeted, and prohibited superiors from forcibly outing them. Given that we’re never actually told in the film why Noah was discharged, it’s not unreasonable to think that it may have been because he got found out as trans.

The part that’s particularly personal for me is his relationship with Kris. I’ve also got a little brother that’s quite a bit younger than me, and I acted as an extra parent to him, practically raised him since we were both latchkey kids, and yeah, there’s no doubt in my mind that I’d face the apocalypse head on if it meant keeping him safe. All that to say, it’s comforting to think that Noah’s identity as a man is inseparable from his identity as a Big Brother, the way it is for me.

Most of my other reasons are less serious:

Noah wears a lot of layers and baggy clothes on his upper half, which yes, was part of 90s fashion, but it’s also how I dressed for most of my life, even before I realized I was trans.

Noah is also non-toxically masculine in a way that’s not unheard of but also not as common for men, especially service members, of that time period. Again, there may very well be a cultural component I’m missing here, let me know if there is, but this is just something I related to as a Guy Who Wasn’t Raised As One.

This last one’s kinda silly, but I’m a Car Guy, and one of the most gender euphoria inducing things I can do is work on my car. There’s few things that make me feel like Man quite like sweat on my brow and grease on my hands and a purring engine from a job well done. So for Noah to not only be a tech wiz but specifically a Mechanic? That was the thing that really sold me on this headcanon. (And that’s not even getting into the very fun implications of Noah being the one to repair Mirage, to get to know him so intimately, literally inside and out. Very nice.)

(I also love the idea that rather than being weirded out or taken aback at first like he is in some fics, Noah would be kinda weirdly affirmed to find out that not only does Mirage have some of roughly the same *equipment* while still being treated as and being a Mech, but his setup is the norm for Cybertronians. I can so picture Noah anxiously telling Mirage about his situation when they finally get together only for Mirage to be like “you mean other human mechs don’t have a 🐈??? Like, most humans only have one or the other?????”)

How about 21, 23, and 41 for the comics ask game??

loving comics ask game

21. Share a favorite piece of comics lore.

in universe? probably that ollie's archery skills are, self-admitted by him, like 50% luck

out of universe but related to comics, probably how explicity based on Winick's friend, Pedro Zamora, Mia's experience with HIV is. Here's a transcript of a CNN interview Winick did when Mia's diagnosis happened in comics.

MARQUEZ: In 1994, Winick appeared in season three of MTV's "the real world." his roommate was Pedro Zamora, an AIDs activist who eventually died from the disease. Now from the Green Arrow comic, past, present, fiction and reality come together. WINICK: Pedro tested positive at 17, Mia tested positive at 17. MARQUEZ: Winick also says, that like his real life, real world friend, Mia will announce her HIV status to her entire high school student body. WINICK: I figured one hero story should follow another. MARQUEZ: Green Arrow is owned by DC Comics which is part of Time Warner, which also owns CNN. For those who read the series the HIV story is an example of what it takes to be a hero. WINICK: I think it's positive that she's overcoming a lot of what she's come from. MARQUEZ: When it says overcoming obstacles is what defines a hero. In this case a 17-year-old HIV positive sidekick may be able to do what his real world friend died trying to do, conquer HIV.

that last line man.

23. Who’s your favorite background character?

woof...who counts as a background character hmmm. do the kids from the youth centre in vol 3 count. they barely appear but when they do they just roast ollie, mia, and connor.

41. What’s a comic that keeps on giving (you enjoy rereading)?

QUIVER. GREEN ARROW: QUIVER BY KEVIN SMITH. GREEN ARROW VOL. 3 #1-#10 WRITTEN BY KEVIN PATRICK SMITH. that. that is what keeps on giving. admittedly kevin rarely knows how to shut the fuck up so the very long dialogue can be tough to get through sometimes. but its always worth it. quiver.

also green arrow stranded and gl/ga but i reread those less than i reread quiver.

If I said I miss Pedro Zamora, how many people would know who I meant?

[mikethepoetla]

One of the only photos I have with Mike Davis. I studied with him in 1997 just before graduating at UCLA and kept in touch from there. This was at a retirement event in 2015 where both Mike & Juan Felipe Herrera read & were being honored at they retired from UC Riverside. I was sitting next to Steph Cha at the reading & I remember Vickie Vertiz & Sara Borjas were there that day too. Mike connected V Zamora and I together in 2007-2008 at Papadakis restaurant in San Pedro. V is in the far left of this shot. Mike gave V and I bunch of books that day. I still have them. His generosity & warmth matched his writing. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkKpR0iufa-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Spain and France have struck a new deal to build an underwater gas pipeline from Barcelona to Marseille, cancelling a long-stalled pipeline project that would have connected the countries through the Pyrenees.

The pipeline will allow Spain and Portugal, two leading importers of liquefied natural gas (LNG), to bring their excess supplies to France and other European countries.

LNG has become the go-to commodity to replace the vast volumes of Russian gas that the Kremlin has cut off since launching the invasion of Ukraine.

The European Union is trying to secure as much LNG as commercially possible in order to make it through the winter without major power blackouts or gas rationing.

The deal was announced on Thursday by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, French President Emmanuel Macron and Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa, ahead of an EU summit in Brussels, where the energy crisis will be the top topic.

"This is very good news for Europe," Sánchez told reporters, before heading into the meeting. "This solidarity is coherent with our green transition."

"The objective is to be better connected to the rest of the continent for Spain and Portugal," Macron said.

The deal means that the MidCat project is officially abandoned, the leaders confirmed.

The 226-kilometre-long pipeline was supposed to connect Spain's gas network to France's by crossing through the Pyrenees, from Hostalric, in Catalonia, to Barbaira, in Southern France.

MidCat had been stalled since 2019, when an independent report cast doubt over the pipeline's price and profitability. But the war in Ukraine and the subsequent energy crisis injected new momentum and fuelled calls from Madrid and Lisbon to complete the project.

Macron, however, remained opposed, arguing the pipeline was too costly, unaligned with the EU's green ambitions and unable to transport electricity.

The French leader also said that two existing pipelines that cross from Spain into France through the Basque Country were being used only at "50% to 60%" of their total capacity.

The German government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, which is seeking to replace Russian gas, also pushed for the pipeline's completion. Thursday's deal puts an end to the months-long tensions.

Instead of the underground MidCat, the countries will build a brand-new underwater pipeline, dubbed BarMar, connecting Barcelona with Marseille.

The infrastructure could be operational by the end of the decade, officials told Euronews.

The pipeline will initially carry gas, a polluting fossil fuel that contributes to climate change, but will be gradually filled with green hydrogen and other "renewable gases," although the commercial viability of these products is still an open question.

At the same time, Spain and Portugal commit to finish another gas interconnection, named CelZa, between Celourico da Beira and Zamora.

Additionally, Spain and France will aim to complete a new electricity connection through the Bay of Biscay, while working to identify similar projects.

Sánchez, Macron and Costa will meet again on 9 December to determine the financing details of the BarMar project. The Spanish government had previously suggested that any new connection with France would require EU funds due to its cross-border dimension.
