I love ballet and I hate it. I love dance. I think ballet should take a long hard look at itself, and grow up. Stop damaging young people's bodies. You can create beauty without crippling people with unnatural movements and body expectations.
In any case this is a fascinating article about the history of The Nutcracker Ballet.
8 Fascinating Facts About ‘The Nutcracker’ Ballet
Peek behind the curtains of ‘The Nutcracker,’ Tchaikovsky’s famous Yuletide ballet.Ellen Gutoskey (Mental Floss)

The Nutcracker is what inspired me to take ballet classes at five years-old. The position that woman in the photograph is holding is part of why I finally left.
My ballet school had a choreographer who insisted that a young woman in a pas de deux hold both her arms back for a similar dip. She told him she would slip out of her partner's arms, she wanted at least one arm forward, but he insisted. She slipped and her nose was broken. When she came back the choreographer told her that it wouldn't happen again and wanted the same position. Physics continued to work in the same way. Her nose was broken a second time. He showed no remorse.
It was the last straw for her and for me. I refused to be a part of such cruelty. We have a right to be treated with respect and not as play toys for people seeking social status.
Human actions have led to the deaths of more than 100,000 Bornean orangutans since 1999, mainly for crop protection, bushmeat or the illegal wildlife trade.
For the first time in 15 years, researchers surveyed residents of Kalimantan, the Indonesian section of Borneo, to find out why people kill the great apes and whether conservation projects help protect them.

Killings of Bornean orangutans could lead to their extinction
Only about 100,000 Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) remain, less than half of their original numbers.Rhett Butler (Conservation news)
First Resources has consistently denied operating shadow companies. However, The Gecko Project gathered insider testimony and corporate documents linking the company and the Fangiono family to plantations clearing rainforest in Indonesian Borneo.
T G P calculates that companies controlled by the group have cleared more than 95,000 hectares (235,000 acres) of forest since First Resources announced its zero-deforestation pledge in 2015.

Having ublock origin on your mobile browser is a game changer - and soon Firefox will be the only way to get it on your desktop browser too.
Remember Google's plan described in discovery documents from one of its antitrust lawsuits: in the name of privacy, block 3rd party ads and use the dominance of chrome to only allow google ads at the browser level. Your browser choice is not a neutral choice, google sees it as an integral part of their strategy to monopolize ads, and with that the entire web.
is there an actual link to the document or to an article reporting on it (couldn't find one)?
People use to find me paranoid when I said it was the intent... (in a company that had all to lose with this)
Yep - page 94, project NERA and the privacy sandbox

Correction: Linked article says it was her father William Still who was 2nd only to Tubman:
"William Still, described as being “second only to Harriet Tubman in underground railroad operations”, was an active and prominent abolitionist in Philadelphia who spent nearly all of his adult life as a businessman, author, and philanthropist in the service of African American liberation and advancement"

Last month my partner and I were thrilled to find this little clump of mushrooms in the woods because that's who we are as people.
There was just enough light left to take this photo, which I submit for day four of my #ArtAdventCalendar
(#Nikon F70, Nikkor, Ilford Delta 400)
#mushroommonday #filmphotography #believeinfilm #blackandwhite
Every now & then I get an email offering to "help grow my social media presence."
No thanks. And I expect it's the kind of thing where ppl pay $ for bot followers.
That said, I have an Instagram account that I'm not particularly active on & received one such “offer” about increasing engagement there today.
But when I scrolled down, I noticed something curious… they already appear to be using my photo as a satisfied client 🤔

The Marvels is ending its theatrical run as the lowest grossing movie in MCU history with $80M earned domestically and $197M. This is a shame since it’s actually a good movie and the MCU has delivered far worse, even just this year.
I will admit that even though I saw the movie I was not planning to see it. I only did because I had a few hours to kill in between games at my son’s basketball tournament in a different city.
I am fatigued by the MCU and I’m not alone.
