I know this is from Australia but when I first saw the words “Victorian man” all I could think of was this:
To be fair imagine you just arrived in 2018 from Victorian England and discovered Take On Me, what are you supposed to do, not blast it loud enough for your family to hear it all the way back in 1876?
Studying impressionist paintings. Morgan Weistling painting.
It is great to study colors doing master copies. Also trying to get painterly brush strokes in Photoshop is some kind of challenge. In the end I learned lot and found a new painting technique for myself.
a girl whos tummy is sore because she ate dairy: is a bit quiet a guy:She was perfect, pure maddening sex, and she knew it, and she played on it, dripped it, and allowed you to suffer for it
This reminded me of an article I read years ago covering some lolita event. The reporter wrote something about how lolitas claimed lolita fashion was non-sexual, but he found it hard to believe after seeing the way they “seductively nibbled on cookies”
I don’t remember what the article was or what event it was covering, but I remember that one line because it just, like, filled me with so much rage. Like goddamn, maybe they just wanted to eat some fucking cookies, its not their fault you got a boner over it.
“it’s not their fault you got a boner over it” is such an important statement in way too many contexts
Race film actors were sometimes marketed as black counterparts to mainstream actors either for their similar physical appearance or similar roles. Oscar Micheaux did this often, even encouraging Carman Newsome, who at the time was working for Micheaux handling the sales and distribution of his films, to start acting based on his resemblance to Clark Gable.
Interestingly enough Lorenzo Tucker, who was dubbed the Dark Valentino by Micheaux, claimed Valentino was actually darker than him.
hey so denmark is most definitely becoming a nazi nation sooner rather than later. they’ve like done some really fucked up shit, but this might be one of the more messed up things i’ve come across from there.
the government is going to have outlined “ghetto zones” in a legal definition, wherein which they are going to have double punishment for any crime.
these areas will be areas with high populations of muslim, immigrant and worker class people. meaning they are planning to give double the amount of punishment to people for living in poorer neighbourhoods with large amount of minority people.
this is a very transparent act. and they are trying to justify it by claiming it’s about maintaining the safety and peace of the country.
but what it really means is… they are not even trying to hide that the police and prison system is about targeting minorities and poor people now… and it will not surprise me if they use this to escalate the en-masse detainments they’ve had.
These ‘ghetto’ areas are defined (among other criteria) as having more than 50% non-Western immigrant population they are also doing aggressive ethnic assimilation. They explicitly aren’t including white immigrants in this.
And they’re also doing aggressive ethnic assimilation:
The government is also trying to tackle “parallel societies”,
targeting immigrants who resist integration with local Danes, preferring
to stick to their own traditions.
The Danish Ministry of Economic
Affairs and Interior says the country has about half a million
inhabitants with non-Western backgrounds – 10 times more than in 1980.
It
estimates that 28,000 immigrant families “live in a parallel society”,
and the proportion who do so reaches about 50% in “ghetto areas”. The
largest ethnic groups in that category are Somalis (44%) and Lebanese
(41%), the ministry says.
