Seriously? It’s not like they held a press conference - they were simply living their lives/affectionate towards each other in public - which I’ve seen many non famous folks do at protests. How are we to know if it’s they’re “debut” out together, or the first time ppl noticed? We’re angry if celebrities are silent,…

BS in every direction.

“Amateurs shouldn’t critique art.”

You don't have to walk on the sun to know that it's hot. 

As an artist this elitist bullshit is why no one listens to us. We ask amateurs to look at art and come to conclusions and to form opinions about art all the time. Allowing only those who dabble in that art to critique it is foolhardy. Also you know damn well Leibovitz can do better. Her lighting on dark skin is…

meh - Artists shouldn’t show theri art to amatuers if they don’t want it critiqued.

OK. Well, as a professional photographer my opinion is more valid, oui?

These are shit. They look like they didn’t go through a modicum of post processing.

Which shouldn’t matter because a good image starts in front of the camera. Like my college prof used to say...you can’t polish a turd. And these photos were doomed…

Counterpoint: The lighting on the Biles portraits is shit and it doesn’t take a pro to see that.

Bullshit, elitist bullshit that reserves the right of opinion for a narrow-focused, insular few.

Nah; that’s like saying that if you’re not an automotive engineer, you can’t complain about the wheels falling off your new car. You don’t need to be an expert to see an issue.

I have always hated Jimmy Kimmel for precisely this reason: he whored himself out for the Man Show, did blackface, and was BFF with Adam Carolla, and then when he was up for a late night gig he got “woke” all of the sudden.

You read this intensely personal, traumatic, moving story and all you have to say is something trivial, petty, and condescending? You’re a terrible person and can fuck straight off, ya gremlin.

When I was in college 1.0 for a theater degree as a costume tech, I lived with my roomie in a scuzzy apartment complex, but the building I lived in was a very happy little microcosm of nice folks. It was the single nicest community of people I’ve ever lived with, they are relevant and...this one’s long. Because…

Ghost snacks!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

And if it’s done in a way that’s incredibly sensitive and about the story, what are they worried about? I don’t understand that.

which, playing a flute in those nails? as a violinist, much respect

She is the best. My phone alarm clock plays “Juice” to wake me up in the morning. 6:15 a.m. is LIT.

WHY IS THERE NO MENTION OF BRAK!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
