Because art is about creating connections and invoking a personal experience. In this case, Bowie created or at the very least helped along a dialogue about gender and sexuality, specifically one about androgyny and gender non-conformity that continues to this day. As someone who identifies as neutrois or genderqueer,…

Or if you’re someone who identifies as genderqueer and would like to be inspired by someone who made it “cool” in a lot of ways during a time when you would otherwise be drawn and quartered over it and also you like good music.

Maybe the idea behind it was to invite people to put themselves in the skin of the tribeswomen pictured? Like to encourage empathy in people who wouldn’t otherwise have it? That’s probably being generous, but I’m trying to think of any reason why someone would do the makeup as opposed to posting what are amazing…

Post them with facts or go out and take pictures of the actual tribes you’re trying to raise awareness for!

Her economic acheivements are in a state that consistently sits at about the ninth highest poverty rate in the nation. A third of all African-Americans and Latinos in SC live in poverty and over a quarter of all children. It’s also #1 in the country for deadly violence against women with more than twice the national…

He was hit with Chewy’s crossbolt before. The same weapon that blew another guy through the air earlier. That’s why he’s hitting himself during the fight to psyche himself up and why blood comes out. He was also clearly emotionally compromised and wigging out, and even if he is leader of the Knights of Ren or…

Don’t forget the first guy he was set up with who straight up wanted to make a name for himself by getting Brendan to take a plea bargain. Coming in after someone’s willfully screwed things up that badly can’t be easy.

What they did to Brendan was monstrous. Working with his public defender too? How do those people sleep at night?

For a little bit of context: The State House is also right next to the USC campus, so parts of it function as a museum and offices. That central downtown area is dominated by the sprawling university, and the university has a few different collections and museums on it, along with the NAC.

Are you talking about the time Hilary Clinton represented an accused rapist as a public defender in 1975? Like the constitutional right we all have, even deplorable rapists? And that she followed the common route, especially in the 1970s and on through today, of attempting to discredit the victim? And then, by the…

If you honestly believe this, you aren’t gay or a woman. Which hey, congrats!

I think it was one of Vin Diesel’s movies. It was a stuntman. They delayed release and very strongly debated whether or not they should keep the sequence in, and ultimately it was the man’s widow who asked them to keep the shot in because he would’ve been proud and wanted it that way. They did it as a tribute to him.…

It reminds me of the Silent Hill art designers discussing the inspiration and creation of Pyramid Head. They realized that in order to make an effective villain, they needed to give him a sense of “otherness” that both stripped his humanity and was visually unsettling. They chose a giant mask with sharp angles and…

It all comes back to the editors. Jia admits that she vetted two of those posts which were mistakes. You can, and should, hold the writers accountable, but they’re not posting in a vacuum. I guess I just don’t see anything challenging about reading some mean girls critique of a poor woman’s pubic hair grooming from a…

It’s not unreasonable to expect some kind of cohesion and baseline set of standards. It’s not a matter of expecting all writers to share the same vision of what feminism is, the same viewpoints, or the same style, but if you come together as a unified site, one which does want to express important views and opinions…

I think because he takes on really Oscar-baity rolls. Not that they’re not good, and not that he’s not great in them, but he’s in so many movies that scream GIVE ME AN OSCAR, and he’s never won one. Also, it’s just funny.

Eh. Normally I agree, but I really think he captured the energy and excitement of the original movies with this one. You guys may not like how things ended up for the other characters, but the reasoning was pretty sound. He even went to great lengths to put in practical effects and the old school “dudes in suits” kind…

In contrast, I thought it really made sense and while it showed a loss of idealism, it implied growth of the characters in a less obvious way. Leia and Han had shit all chemistry in the first movies - you know a relationship is going to go well when a guy responds with “I know” - and their jobs/positions very much…

That’s how generics are born. The one consolation is that another company stepped in and agreed to sell a pill with the same active ingredients for much, much cheaper. His business practices weren’t sustainable, as evidenced by his bank accounts. He was skating by and being a classic sociopath in the process, and…

And they’re already facing problems with Taiwan and other smaller nations providing even cheaper manufacturing, so this is only going to get worse, especially for their massive migrant population.
