Within seconds of being introduced to actor Corwin Hawkins’ Wayman Harrington, a supporting character in A Low Down Dirty Shame, several thing are made clear about him: He’s loud, he’s gay, and for some — namely disgraced detective and lead character Andre Shame (Keenan Ivory Wayans) — he’s a lot to get used to.

"'Less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art Sections are women, but 85% of the nudes are female,' reads the poster, next to a female nude whose head is covered by the group's trademark gorilla mask. The figure is based on the painting La Grande Odalisque, 1814, by male painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres."

The "naked poster" – a yellow poster showing the back of a naked woman wearing a gorilla mask, with text that reads "Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum? Less than 3% of the artists in the Modern Art sections are women, but 83% of the nudes are female." (Credit: Guerrilla Girls)

WIST Quotations

A quotation from John Adams

The English Constitution is founded, tis bottomed And grounded on the Knowledge and good sense of the People. The very Ground of our Liberties, is the freedom of Elections. Every Man has in Politicks as well as Religion, a Right to think and speak and Act for himself. No man either King or Subject, Clergyman or Layman has any Right to dictate to me the Person I shall choose for my Legislator and Ruler. I must judge for myself, but how can I judge, how can any Man judge, unless his Mind has been opened and enlarged by Reading.

John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
Diary (1761-08-01)

I feel such a hunger for stories about #queer adults, for whom coming out is firmly in the rearview mirror and bullying is no longer an issue… but who still deal with the innumerable other conflicts any human being can face.
Of course, a handful of films and shows do that very well… but what if you want more than a handful? How do you find them? Where do you dig?

#Capitalism is the worker who doesn't own their own method of production. Their boss, the #capitalist, owns the machine or tool which the #worker uses to make products or deliver services.

This is true in free-market capitalism, #socialism and #communism.

What makes socialism different to communism, is that communists want to achieve their goals with #dictatorship and #suppression, and socialists with #democracy, #representation and personal freedom

Démocratie : du municipalisme des dèmes à la délégation représentative – une dérive historique ?

La démocratie, aujourd’hui confondue avec la représentation et la technocratie, était à l’origine un pouvoir local, direct et participatif : celui des dèmes athéniens. Comment sommes-nous passés d’une implication citoyenne active à la délégation et à la perte du contrôle populaire ? #Démocratie #Municipalisme #Représentation L’usage contemporain du mot « démocratie »…
