I’ve made a lot of hours of television over the years, but I think I’m proudest of Sunday’s Libya episode. I believe it is the best piece of work I’ve ever been part of. Some of that pride comes from recalling how difficult it was. My crew and I are not exactly seasoned veterans when it comes to…

ARYZ AND CHOE COVER DTLA IN MURALS, TEAM UP WITH RETNA

Aryz is one of the hottest names in large-scale mural street art, and David Choe is one of the hottest names in the history of art, period. Even before Choe hit it big with the Facebook story, he was searching out some of the biggest and best opportunities to collaborate with other talented artists and cover large walls with his expressive work, and downtown Los Angeles (Matteo St in particular) was recently blessed with what might be his best collaboration yet. In a gift from graffiti paradise, the bright colors and fragmented faces of Aryz blend perfectly into the scratchy lines and exploding scalps of Choe’s work.

What’s more, immediately following the collaboration they teamed up with fellow graff titan Retna on a second piece in downtown LA, also featured above. The artist’s classic LA-hieroglyphics fill a kneeling sneakerhead-creature being ridden by a bodacious lady, outlined by Choe and Aryz. We will keep an eye out for future pieces.

EASY HEALTHY VEGAN CHICKPEA AND CARROT TUNA SALAD RECIPE - PERFECT PACKED LUNCH

This is the easiest recipe ever and absolutely delicious. The hardest part is getting hold of vegan mayonnaise. All you need is:

  • 2 carrots
  • 1 can of chickpeas
  • 2 tbsp of vegan mayonnaise

Throw the carrots and chickpeas into the food blender and blend until you have small chunks, resembling the texture of tuna. Add two big dollops of vegan mayonnaise and salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. And that’s it.


I love having this on wholegrain bread with spinach or slices of cucumbers. Perfect for a packed lunch. Enjoy!

Communication is the backbone of a good relationship, and one of the main qualities of a good communicator is being a good listener. Follow these tips to ensure that you become a great listener in all of your relationships:

 

·        Take yourself out of the equation. This is not the time to talk, especially about yourself. You’re there to listen to what they have to say and hear them talk about themselves. So resist the temptation to relate everything back to yourself or talk about how you went through the exact same thing. It’s not about you.

Here’s the thing. Men in our culture have been socialized to believe that their opinions on women’s appearance matter a lot. Not all men buy into this, of course, but many do. Some seem incapable of entertaining the notion that not everything women do with their appearance is for men to look at. This is why men’s response to women discussing stifling beauty norms is so often something like “But I actually like small boobs!” and “But I actually like my women on the heavier side, if you know what I mean!” They don’t realize that their individual opinion on women’s appearance doesn’t matter in this context, and that while it might be reassuring for some women to know that there are indeed men who find them fuckable, that’s not the point of the discussion.

Women, too, have been socialized to believe that the ultimate arbiters of their appearance are men, that anything they do with their appearance is or should be “for men.” That’s why women’s magazines trip over themselves to offer up advice on “what he wants to see you wearing” and “what men think of these current fashion trends” and “wow him with these new hairstyles.” While women can and do judge each other’s appearance harshly, many of us grew up being told by mothers, sisters, and female strangers that we’ll never “get a man” or “keep a man” unless we do X or lose some fat from Y, unless we moisturize//trim/shave/push up/hide/show/”flatter”/paint/dye/exfoliate/pierce/surgically alter this or that.

That’s also why when a woman wears revealing clothes, it’s okay, in our society, to assume that she’s “looking for attention” or that she’s a slut and wants to sleep with a bunch of guys. Because why else would a woman wear revealing clothes if not for the benefit of men and to communicate her sexual availability to them, right? It can’t possibly have anything to do with the fact that it’s hot out or it’s more comfortable or she likes how she looks in it or everything else is in the laundry or she wants to get a tan or maybe she likes women and wants attention from them, not from men?

The result of all this is that many men, even kind and well-meaning men, believe, however subconsciously, that women’s bodies are for them. They are for them to look at, for them to pass judgment on, for them to bless with a compliment if they deign to do so. They are not for women to enjoy, take pride in, love, accept, explore, show off, or hide as they please. They are for men and their pleasure.

We’re not learning, we’re being trained.

For real though, we are. All school is is teaching you how to behave in a socially acceptable manner. I learned all about it in a teaching class.

That last comment is such a mind-numbing paradox that i have no idea what to do.

Recognize these photos? If you’ve seen Star Wars, you probably do. 

This the abandoned set of Tatooine, Luke Skywalker’s home planet. A photographer accidentally stumbled upon the set, which sits in the Tunisian desert. They sit in perfect stillness, at the crest of the Sahara Desert, eaten away by dust and sand.
