Farewell to costume designer Bob Mackie, a designer of spectacular gowns for great divas, but also the creator of perhaps the greatest costume sight gag in history.

Good morning! Rise could use your help today! We had a couple of weeks without packages to support our "pay what you can" event and retreat space for women and nonbinary people, Rise House. Our needs list has ballooned a bit, and I would love to cut it down a good chunk this week!

Everyone deserves to have their life changed by the power of middle aged actors in the goofiest possible alien makeup, chewing up every last bit of the cheap scenery and breaking hearts along the way.

This must be the third video of wonderful voices singing global scales I have seen, and each is mesmerising and has taught me things I didn't know. Such as: That these scales exist and how they, the bare backbone of tunes, reflect and unlock whole world regions' music. This is amazing.

I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

This is also why we should practice solidarity between different forms of art, with regards to Gen AI, and refuse slop in all its forms, at all stages of the process. According due respect to other people's work - the same respect we'd like accorded to ours - that should be the goal.

I didn’t hear a touque referred as a “beanie” until I was like 16 and started talking to more Americans, at which point I was pretty confused by all the people saying they wore their “beanies” every day because I had only ever heard that word used for hats with propellers on them to that point

Mid century print ad for propeller beanies reading;
“The Kids Are All in a WHIRL Over PROPELLER "BEANIES''
Gay-color felts topped with TWO bright, fast-spinning propellers...• C'mon kids.. get your 'beanie' now.
The best ones are at WALGREEN'S! 39c”

When the two-part miniseries Anne of Green Gables debuted on CBC on Dec. 1, 1985, nearly six million Canadians tuned in. It went on to win 10 Geminis, an Emmy and a Peabody. To this day, the miniseries is studied in film schools. This is the story of that miniseries. 🧵 1/12

A young girl with red hair in two long braids stands outdoors in a sunlit green forest. She wears a wide-brimmed straw hat, a light brown floral long-sleeve blouse, and a blue-and-white striped pinafore dress with white ribbon bows at the shoulders. She holds a large rolled-up red-and-brown patterned blanket or quilt in front of her with both hands, looking slightly to the side with a neutral expression.

I kind of loathe the 'not your grandma's knitting' shit, AND the 'see it's not just silly woman stuff' push, because I think actually what we need to do is to accept that traditionally feminine crafts are actually very complicated and skilled, rather than divorce them from femininity to accept that.
