Maybe the chemicals are regulated (or perhaps banned even?) differently in Australia so they are harder to obtain?

So... any word on timeline for consumer application?

I saw a start-up clothing company here in Germany shoot some promo shots in the Holocaust memorial... just really awkward feelings. :(

Really eh? I mean there are certainly good doctors and bad doctors everywhere (my mother's doctor in Canada was terrible), but in NYC I consistently had bad and extremely hurried experiences at the Chelsea Beth Israel clinic, infact I was once misdiagnosed by a hurried doctor over my objections, and given antibiotics…

I wonder too how public vs private affects it. When I lived in the United States I got mysteriously ill over several months, and visited a variety of (male) doctors and got absolutely nowhere. My issues weren't addressed until I was back in socialist Canada and saw a female physician who gave me a very thorough…

It's certainly an interesting social topic... I'm in a graduate program presently that is almost entirely women, and my undergraduate program in fine arts was basically the same. Interestingly too, the males in my undergrad made up an extremely disproportionate number of honour roll members despite being a minority.…

The average folk don't have the fastest visual sense: think about all the terrible tattoos and bad portrait drawings out there. :/

Honestly I think the second picture looks really uncanny valley.

I feel like this is something boys need to be taught is wrong at a young age. As a dude, I honestly didn't appreciate the scope of the problem until I was in college, and female friends would tell me (frequent) insane stories about being catcalled with something so vile it made them immediately burst into tears, or…

Yeah, as a guy I kinda don't get it... is it a cultural thing from when you grew up? I have a friend who makes comments about passing women a little too loudly, and I'm consistently embarrassed and tell him so, and he doesn't think anything is wrong. Is it like people who are badly socialized? I only notice the most…

I think they have to be kinda ridiculous though... it wouldn't fit the world if you had some genuine terrorist group trying to attack pokemon hospitals.

I don't mean to apologize for the indisputable rudeness of these people, but how far in advance did you send the invites? If I got an invite to something 3 months in advance I probably wouldn't know if it was possible yet... although I guess I'd tell you that instead of just RSVPing "yes." :/

The reason for this is that the genre is traditionally dominated on a creative side by men, and the particular brand of "boys club" nerd culture still exists today. It's the same echo-chamber that dominates the video game and (increasingly less so) comics industries. The result is unfortunately a whole industry of…

MIA is an annoying individual, but damn if "Bad Girls" wasn't one of the coolest and genuinely edgy videos of the year. Her (and her teams) aesthetic prowess is phenomenal, and is exactly the sort of thing needed to change popular stereotypes.

The drawing is painfully "student" looking... but then again this is an artist who shoots Vice style analogues of them and their friends hanging out. It's great that she's found success at such a young age, but interesting, this work is not.

We had a bingo card in art school, naturally "masturbation" was on it. Included also was "sculpture made out of hair" because someone always fucking made a hair sculpture.

Kids of a certain wealthy-sheltered upbringing are painfully obvious. This applies to all people of all countries. :/

I don't have anything substantial to say, but anecdotally: born-and-raised NYers are strange strange people. This is really condescending, but I feel like they grew up too quickly.

I was hanging out with some friends who are masters of fine arts students last night, and we found a piece of chalk on the street, so people started drawing penises.

Hemmingways work is freaking great.

Vintage bro fantasy for sure.

Isn't there some sort of law about this? When I was in school in Canada we had to present immunization records by certain deadlines or get suspended (i.e. when starting highschool).
