Thanks for your reply. Cultural and social identity is obviously a very complex topic and varies from group to group. And of course, I am not an expert. Sometimes identity has nothing to do with how you feel about your own identity but how others see you. I recently read that Anni Albers considered as herself as…

Yes. That would have been a great exhibition.

I don’t know what you mean by this but Indigenous identity isn’t about genetics. Granted - I am don’t believe identity is all about genetics but from what you are saying and I may misunderstand you (and I am not trying to be snarky either) if I was born in Mexico but of European descent and was raised as Indigenous in…

From what I understand her mother was primarily indigenous, as well as Spanish descent.

I agree. There have been many famous male artists who have used their appearance as a mode of expression to some degree or another like Oscar Wilde. So my question is this - why are there are no exhibitions on the uses of self-fashioning for male artists?

I am a member of a small, exclusive and psychologically scarred group of people called “The last to be picked for any gym activity.”

Why invest in public health when we know wellness is the best answer for good health? 

I grew up watching the Phil Donohue from the mid 1970s through the early 1980s. I thought he was a person of good will trying to educate the public about current issues. This may sound embarrassing to some but he helped me as a young adult to realize my parents were abusive and that I needed therapy to overcome the ang…

I don’t recall that... Thanks for the correction. Still he wasn’t a great guy.

Almost all the people who worked on the Fyre Festival were terrible except for some of the locales, but that guy who peed on the tents - I can’t believe he revealed himself for all to know what kind of major league ass he is. There are no excuses for him.

Celebrities can afford to pay someone to organize and clean their homes. I am sick celebrities getting freebies simply because they are famous.

He was bad but so was she - BABE!

Showing someone your penis is never funny but let’s face it years ago men were still under the illusion (granted an illusion that was never true) it was. Now thankfully - women and some men now have made it clear it isn’t.

Like everyone who is reading this post my hunch is Bezos is planning to trade his old wife for a younger woman. It is just a matter of time when the new “model” will be unveiled. 

In the 1990s, I remember overhearing some uptight white dude (who had moved close to the United Center on the Westside of Chicago) complain about the noise coming from the USPS facility near his house. I thought the same thing as you - if you want to live in a quiet area then the suburbs is for you and not the city.…

I have been suffering from pelvic pain for around 10 years and at its worse, the pain has landed me the hospital, but it was hard to identify because it came on gradually and I had uterine fibroids. I have periodically kept up my physical therapy and had experienced some relief, but more times than not - I have…

I don’t know about you but I thought Argo was a terrible film (and per usual another dumb choice for best picture by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences). After seeing the film and looking up the actual events, I disliked it even more.

This is what I hate about most mainstream movies. You don’t need to pump up narrative conflict to make an engrossing movie.....

I am a trailing edge boomer and I love this new crop of young politicians. The programs they are advocating for are exactly what I think we need in the US. I am not one of those people who think their ideas are impossible because if we can afford war we can afford peace. It may be hard to achieve some of these goals bu…

There is a difference between causal clothes and gardening clothes and her mom’s clothes look more like gardening clothes.
