Wow, these are spectacular! You can really see the technical skill in his work in his more serious stuff. Although i love the fun ones more :)

This here is why i've been very happy that we have separate bathrooms. He can keeps his all messy, hang out on the john while stinking it up or reading stuff on his phone and if we both need a toilet there's another one i can use! There is far less conflict in our marriage cuz i can just shut the door and not have to…

Fabulous piece! I know that in the early Twentieth century orientalism made a bit of a comeback in terms of the Art Nouveau movement. Did you happen to see if this influenced the makeup trends of this era? I know as the 20th century chugs along it comes back in fashion in unexpected ways, like the caftan. :)

Ah, that makes sense, I'm still learning characters and it's not a clear picture. So I went with what I know. Have you discovered hanzismatter?

I don't know what your tattoo means in Japanese but in Chinese those two characters together mean center if I'm reading it right. 中心 these are the characters, the pinyin is zhong xin. But the story behind it is sweet. :)

I grew up fishing in the open pacific and every fisherman i know has a similar story, including myself. But my grandma has the best story about a shark getting her fish that was close to the boat!

Glad to help! One of my earliest posts on another subkinja was a bit on how we got to here starting with the Scopes Trial. Cuz i'm a nerd like that :) The thing i tell people that all groups, religious or not, there is a tendency for there to be a public face while there's a lot of movement and change that's going on…

I'm still waiting for a Dorothy Day retrospective!!

It does esp since this divide has been evident since the 90's if not earlier. I used to study American Evangelicalism (i've since switched fields) but for most of the 20th century the views loudly proclaimed now by 'Christians' in the media and in politics were considered very fringe by most mainline protestants. In…

There were a lot of women leaders of various christian sects during that time, but they're not going to count cuz Jesus was male along with most of the writers of the Bible.

The problem is that progressive Christians don't fit the media narrative about Christian women. Notice how they never interview anyone from this organization: http://www.cbeinternational.org/ or how few articles are written about Rachel Held Evans and other feminist Christian voices. Shoot i'd love it if they covered…

Thank you... :)

Well the Seventh Day Adventists were started by a woman and my in-laws are part of a Buddhist sect that was started by a woman. Just to clarify, are we talking worldwide or western? Worldwide I suspect there were religions started by women but those narratives have been lost or destroyed.

They have been but we progressives get ignored because we don't fit the media narrative about religious womenfolk in the US :(

I would hope that the writers of Jezebel are aware of the great diversity within Christianity. Not all Christians are white evangelicals or Catholics or from the Bible Belt. Even within Catholicism there's quite a bit of diversity in terms of theology and cultures. The cause of this disconnect is not the Christians,…

She's pretty but i don't think she'd be very seaworthy but i'd love to see someone try!!

I just wanted to pop in and say thanks for an amazing thread. I lived in Asia for a time and rode several subways over there. I found Beijing's the easiest to navigate (cuz rings) but fell in love with the Octopus card. What's frustrating is that it took over fifteen years since I was last in Asia for a similar card…

So this went down the runway yesterday in Milan..... and no my mom wasnt there OR involved. My moms bag, Sandra Okuma, the middle one, 2008. The two on either side is Dsquared2 fall/winter 2015........ Coincidence????? I THINK NOT!!! Oh yeah, btw..... if you want to search the collection on instagram.... use THEIR…

Hi Ellie, this is a bit of derail but i really would love it if one of you Jezzies covered the offensive show held in Milan by the dsquared brothers. Not only did they appropriate indigenous designs they hashtagged it with a racial slur.

These pictures and the stories of people's grandma's hair routines are fascinating for me. I come from migrant farm workers, pioneers and a PNW tribe. So elaborate hair care was just not what we did.
