An "artist" with no plan or intent driven by natural desire to nurture/protect everyone's
1. parameters of freedom of expression to have at least the same real estate+
2. energy signature to have at least the same puissance as her own is a pathetic fraud drunk on exceptionalism
One unique contribution of cultures prioritizing message delivery powered by artistry developed to the outer reaches of human potential is that they assume everyone is invited to and entitled to equal dignity in pursuit of truth, love, liberty, beauty, knowledge, and belonging.
Taken literally, the philosophical payload of the messaging fundamentally restructures the metaphysics of community, regardless of whether any material transaction occurs. A nominal failure of this type leaves a stronger impression than almost anything else. But it must be real.
With artists, not frauds, the discovery and exploration of hidden folders is always safe, reveals design considerations made long in advance as a matter of course to be ready and easy in the event one is opened, +unfolds only a series of dignified delights for anyone who matters.
Art without ethical relational intent and anticipatory architecture is fraudulent.
Art never fails to keep anyone important safe. Insofailing, and by how badly, it reveals the limits of the ambitions of the orchestrators.
Art insures the dignity of whatever is valuable.
Art is defined entirely by what its hidden folders reveal to have prepared for your safe explorations.
All freedom of expression is spent without hesitation to guarantee your journey, adventure, and transformation without deciding values for you.
Nothing failing this is art.
Art is medium agnostic choreography that spends freedom in service of protecting what matters the most, but is not self-important.
Works that only exist to protect the freedom itself and no other idea are routine maintentenance, like flossing, not art.
failing that = tech demo

NOPE. He's saying that bc his Korean's not great + Reina Hardesty in Butterfly is Japanese. This is true of Lola Tung(Chinese)/Sean Kaufman(Japanese) in TSITP too. Koreans survived a 20thC cultural genocide attempt by Japan, which means the lang + microexpressions matter so much.
It is ridiculous to say there's an "overcorrection" when there's huge pressure to make full Asian characters white or half white (see SJ in Ghost In the Shell/ES in Aloha), and a history of hiring nonKoreans for Korean characters (See Keiko Agena/Emily Kuroda in Gilmore Girls).
In 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before', Korean American leads were Lana Condor (Vietnamese adoptee), Janel Parrish (Chinese), and Anna Cathcart (Chinese). Zero professional actress level Korean language or gesture/microexpression studies apparent, with no attempt to cast Korean.
I myself did lobby adults to get my ears pierced in 4th grade. An aunt overrode my parent's prohibition and changing of goalposts, driving me herself to the shop. She said, "What will he do once it is done? Unpierce them?"
😅 Luckily, I don't regret getting my ears pierced.👂💎
I thought I was being such a rebel.😇 I am amazed and impressed by what others want to do. It's like.. wow you really want some permachanges, there.
Are you sure you won't regret it? How do you know?
So if people are pro D for kids, I think they *have* to be pro-emancipation.
Emancipation of minors legally is limited, varies by state, and does not give you automatic bypass of all age-restricted laws.
But I think D is such a drastic and impressive commitment that child emancipation then should mean automatic bypass of all age-restricted laws, or full
A long time ago, I read, among other things, a book in the science library. 'Read' is arguable. It was ~70% photos, graphic ones, of surgeries.
The prof wanted us to conclude from our investigations that some religions/value systems force
(what after that year I chose to call
"irreversible body modifications on minors *of any kind*, incl. neonatal/genital)
body mods that are child abuse, but OTHERS do not and are exempt.
Other books I read showed the prevalence of a wide range of fgc, incl. the most drastic versions, in which countries.
What the
prof wanted to hear was that the child body modifications of:
religion A are not child abuse,
religion B are child abuse,
secular view C is child abuse,
secular view D is not,
and secular cultural nongenital but irreversible things E are irrelevant, because they are not genital.
while exams show younger asians to be the best english speakers in america, that's less true for elders educated abroad. even when there is good intergenerational integration due to parentification, you see massive underreporting of violent crimes where older asians are victims.
but there is no reason to think that victims of violent crime by asians underreport relative to other groups, except for those who also don't have good english (though there is likely more support for spanish than korean in reporting infra), so 0.2 is a crazy low ratio o-2-p.
not only are asians at 0.2 HALF as likely to be violent crime offenders relative to national population than all females at 0.4, the next most violent racial group is 4x as likely at 0.8, all males 7.5x as likely, and the most violent racial group 10x as likely at 2.0.
Let’s imagine it’s tomorrow and parity is real, that East/South Asian labor is valued the same as American/Western European labor, and their educational, professional achievements are recognized at face value.
Here’s what the rhetoric from Western elites (media, policymakers,
