Harry is only going to get better bc 3 things that influence vocal abilities. 1) Health body 2) growth and experience with practice 3) this is very important - growth hormones are gone from the body entirely after around 25. So that is the reason the best singing years are late 20's , the entire 30's. After 40 its reverse. Body is aginging and is not kept healty voicals degrade naturally with age. Both male and female singers are at their best in their 30's if they work on it and are healthy.

Interesting!

The glamour of grey hair and best way to pleasure

New Post has been published on https://newscheckz.com/the-glamour-of-grey-hair-and-best-way-to-pleasure/

The glamour of grey hair and best way to pleasure

We get grey hair when follicles stop producing melanin; a process which is determined more by genes than anything else.

Did you know that grey hair is in vogue? While in the past, aging women felt the pressure to colour their hair and hide the grey hairs, they are now embracing it.

And when it comes to both skin and hair care, embracing what is natural instead of fighting it is always recommended. Why are you greying?

Genetics: we get grey hair when follicles stop producing melanin – a process which is determined more by genes than anything else.

So if you’re wondering when your hair might start greying, find out when it happened to your parents. Generally, Caucasians tend to go grey earlier than Asians or Africans.

Stress: Although stressful periods in life seem to bring on grey hair, scientists are yet to find any proof of correlation.

However, stress can cause temporary hair loss- known as telogen effluvium. The hair which grows back after telogen effluvium might be less pigmented.

Also you might notice that your grey hair looks and behaves very differently from the rest of the hair, this might be curlier o straighter.

Generally, grey hair tends to be drier, more brittle, and more prone to breakage and yellowing. Here are some tips to help you care for your grey hair like a pro:

Condition Grey hair has a tendency to be dry and brittle: hence prone to breaking. You can’t afford to be lazy with conditioning it.

To give it the moisture it needs, go for deep-conditioning natural oils like avocado, coconut, Argan and Jamaican black castor oil.

Also consider honey and agave treatments, deep-conditioning protein packs, and well-formulated daily leave-in conditioners.

Avoid heat Blow-drying: straightening and curling might not be such great ideas for grey hair. Heat treatments are generally discouraged for natural hair.

Why? Heat zaps moisture from hair and alters the hair’s natural curl pattern. With grey hair, these concerns multiply.

To keep your grey strands healthy, the best option is to avoid heat treatment at all costs. But if you’re addicted to heat treatments, you might consider using heat protectants serums or spray.

Beware UV rays: since it has little to no melanin, grey hair is particularly susceptible to sun damage.

If you haven’t done so already, it’s time to consider using hair products containing SPF. Natural oils such as avocado and coconut have natural SPF and are therefore highly recommended.

If you’re going to spend a considerable amount of time outdoors, wear a pretty hat, scarf, or head-wrap…you can be both stylish and sensible.

Make it shine: Grey hair can look dull, yellow, and lifeless. To make it look shinier, go for specially formulated brightening grey hair shampoos.

If your hair seems to be thinning as well, go for volumizing shampoos. To naturally brighten your hair, massage lemon juice mixed half-and-half with water and wait for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing off.

You can also add apple cider vinegar to your shampoo. Apply natural oil afterwards.

Update your make-up: Going grey is not an excuse to look frumpy and unstylish. To rock your grey tresses, you need to update your make-up and dressing accordingly.

Avoid any clothes and accessories that scream ‘old-lady’. For instance instead of thick grandma glasses, go for trendy frames which complement your face.

As for makeup, make sure to add colour to your face by applying bronzer or a bit of blush to your cheeks.

Use concealer to hide dark and saggy under-eye bags or general skin unevenness.

Draw attention to your eyes by using cool-coloured eye shadow shades such as slate or grey. Pink or rose-coloured lipstick or gloss will naturally complement your grey hair.

lily liveblogs “terminator: dark fate”, part one

In which I write two thousand words about the first two minutes, which is why it takes me four hours to watch a two-hour film.

The DVD says R rated for "Violence throughout". God I hope so.

3 dvd trailers just to get to the menu. thank goodness for fast forward. You can't skip them entirely, but you can skip to two seconds before they're over.

Also I can't help but note that one of the trailers is for Gemini Man, a movie about old!Will Smith battling a digitally de-aged!Will Smih, and I cannot help but admire the irony given how de-aginging software will be used in the film I am trying to see. Another trailer is for the Top Gun sequel. More irony.

the dvd menu is just the first thirty seconds of the theme with random movie clips, which just cuts out as soon as it gets good. not a fan.

grainy video footage of Sarah Connor from T2 with her v/o recounting her vision of nuclear holocaust to Silbermann AS THE COMPANY LOGOS FLASH ON SCREEN, this is (probably) not meant to be symbolic of the destructive influence of capitalism BUT OH MY GOD THE IRONY

Ocean waves on a beach, exposing a human skull. Then slow zoom out to reveal more bones. Old!Sarah narrates the story for those of us just tuning in. Terminators rising from the ocean while HK planes hover above. They see a little girl hiding beside a downed helicopter and aim at her--

--cut to the same (?) beach in Guatemala, 1998. Old!Sarah says "That future never happened because I stopped it," and we see her sitting by the beach in a bar, watching teenage John chat up a girl.

The CGI looks good here. John's face is fuzzy and at a distance, but it works in context, and t2-era!Sarah looks great. I wouldn't guess it was CGI if I didn't know it was CGI here. And this, my friends, is the future of filmmaking right here, and I have a lot of thoughts and feels about it, but that's a rant for another time. Let's just say that it's HIGHLY IRONIC that the people who basically invented Photoshop so they could make T2 are using this face-altering business on real actors, making them effectively shapeshifters just like the Terminators in this franchise. (Iirc, in T2, the CGI was used mainly for the shifting BETWEEN the faces of real actors--not on the actors themselves.)

And then young(er)!Arnold strolls in as John turns, and you can SEE him freeze as he RECOGNIZES the T-800, but doesn't have time to react--and the T-800 fires.

Sarah pulls a gun out of her pants and fires straight into his back. If she'd been facing in the other direction, she would have seen the T-800 and started firing right away, but she didn't. And I bet the T-800 deliberately set it up that way because he knew--whether Skynet told him or not--that Sarah was a threat.

She tries to grab the gun away from the T800 and it doesn't work. He pulls her head back and tosses her away. He could have killed her, but he doesn't. I don't know why. (PLOT!) Maybe because it's not his mission. Anyway, Sarah is like three feet away from her son, down on the ground, as he's shot in front of her. It's her worst nightmare come true, just when she thought everything was okay.

The scan from the T-800's perspective as he registers TARGET TERMINATED is pretty cool. And then he drops the gun and walks away, and Sarah is left with the dead body of her son.

"I saved three billion lives," Old!Sarah says, "but I couldn't save my son. A machine took him from me, and I was terminated."

WHAM.

CUT TO OPENING TITLE AND THEME.

Okay, so this is a controversial opening, and a lot of people hated it, but I am personally okay with it. Partially, it's because I am not emotionally attached to John Connor the same way I am attached to Sarah, or even Kyle. John Connor may be the savior of humanity in the Terminator mythos up until now, but he's also a macguffin in T1 (and arguably in T2 as well). He's not an independent agent, and his actions/decisions don't drive the plot in the same way that Sarah's do. John's story after a certain point in any timeline is very difficult to write well. Case in point: movies that are ostensibly about John Connor--T3 and Terminator: Salvation--are also the ones that "everybody" thinks are terrible, and Sarah is not present. I don’t think this is a coincidence.

People SAY they want a John Connor-centered movie, and maybe it's possible to do a better job that T3/Salvation/etc, but I think it would be very challenging--and I don't think it would be a Terminator movie at all. It would be a sci-fi action/horror featuring humanity vs. intelligent killer robots, but that's a different beast from a Terminator film--which is very much a commentary on contemporary human/machine interactions and therefore NEEDS an oblivious society as backdrop for its metaphors to work. A war movie in which the Terminators are no longer secret is... not as effective.

But anyway, put yourself in the writers' shoes and imagine you want to make another Terminator movie after T2. You want Sarah Connor to be in it. What do you do to make it new and different, while still working within the established formula? More to the point--remembering the unofficial motto of this franchise, after all--what do you do to make Sarah Connor suffer?

And the answer is exactly what the filmmakers did: they took away her son. They took away the REASON she was originally targeted for termination, the REASON her life was turned upside down, the REASON everybody she ever loved was murdered by killer robots from the future. They took away everything she'd worked for, and turned it to dust in an instant. And, you know, they killed YET ANOTHER PERSON she loved. Her last connection to Kyle, even.

(ngl, if I'd been writing this movie, I would have done the exact same thing FOR EXACTLY THOSE REASONS)

Also, can I just take a moment to point out how RARE it is that a male character dies to further a female character's story arc? This happens ALL THE GODDAMN TIME with male heroes and their wives/girlfriends/family members no one bats an eye, but kill off John Connor and suddenly everybody is pissed. I can't help but notice the double standard here.

Look, I know what it's like when someone kills off your favorite character. Really, I do. It sucks. It sucks a lot. (See: Avengers: Endgame and the Star Wars sequel trilogy.) But at the same time, I can't help but notice that a great deal of the people upset about John Connor's death are cishet white males--in many cases, the same people who in other contexts are fine with somebody (usually a woman) dying to "raise the stakes" and make the story "personal" and "dramatic" or even "realistic".

There are a lot of people who gushed about The Last Jedi, calling it "subversive" and "brilliant" specifically for upending everything we knew about Luke and "making our old heroes fallible" (and therefore human). In the case of The Last Jedi, I can't help but notice that Luke's character--and Han and Leia's and everybody else in the movie--is shafted in favor of Kylo Ren, who is depicted as an attractive cishet white dude. I suspect this is not a coincidence.

I'm curious how much overlap there is between those who HATED Terminator: Dark Fate for killing off John, and those who LOVED TLJ, which has a similarly bleak premise and “subversion” of previous story beats. I wonder if the difference between the two films is that it doesn't matter to a lot of cishet white dudes how screwed up everything else gets as long as the character they personally identify with the most/view as "the hero"--Kylo Ren--triumphs.

As far as I can tell, the attitude for some fans is that it’s fine if Sarah Connor suffers, but John is sacred and inviolate. He cannot be touched. He is essential, the lynchpin of the franchise, the one character who makes a Terminator movie work, the one around whom everything revolves. Without him, everything is pointless.

And I wonder if this is the same group who personally identifies with John--one, because they grew up with him, but two, because they look like him. I suspect a lot of people latched on to the idea of John Connor as the savior, because it meant--on some level--that THEY could also be the savior. And they are mad at having that character--and that promise--snatched away from them, and re-invest that energy in anyone else, let alone someone who looks different from them.

(AKA "It's all 'subverting expectations' and 'brilliance' until it's your self-insert/favorite character getting shafted," and then it gets ugly.)

Also, I note that John's death isn't heroic AT ALL. He dies in the exact same way the Terminator in T1 kills the other Sarah Connors. It's quick, efficient, and over in seconds. I suspect this hurts people more than if he'd died some other way. In a way, this scene is probably one of the most "realistic" in the entire movie. But I'm not sure people want "realism" in their movies, no matter how much they say they do.

(and does it say something about audience priorities that this kid getting shot at point-blank range is more upsetting and controversial than ALL OF THE OTHER DEATHS in this movie combined? Like, yes, I know context matters, everybody else who dies in this movie is an adult (I think?), and we have a lot emotionally invested in John from previous movies, but... I mean, yes, I know, the background characters weren't framed as the saviors of humanity, but does that mean they don't also deserve empathy and respect and grief from us? And I can’t help but note that real-life children getting shot in a similar fashion doesn’t seem to engender the same amount of strong feelings on a massive scale, at least in the US.)

Anyway, Sarah fails. Terribly. Irrevocably. In the only way that matters. She fails, and her son dies, and she falls right back down in the abyss she thought she'd managed to crawl out of. And I think that is also hard for a lot of people to watch, because we're so used to seeing her WIN through sheer grit, determination, and stubborness. We assumed she always would. But she can’t, not if there’s going to be another movie...

(another other implication of Sarah's short-lived combat with the T-800 is that it doesn't matter how much of a badass she is, NO 100% HUMAN BEING can go head-to-head with a Terminator directly and WIN. If Sarah Connor can't do it, NOBODY ELSE COULD HAVE DONE IT BETTER THAN SHE DID.)

(and also there's the realization that if Sarah hadn't destroyed the reprogrammed Terminator at the end of T2--the only being who COULD have saved John in that moment--her son might still be alive. That's gotta hurt.)

Anyway, we're two minutes in and I find this plot twist more compelling than 90% of the entire Star Wars sequel trilogy, and 100% more consistent in terms of previously established character arcs. Obvs. ymmv, but I think it goes back to the franchise's horror roots, where everybody except Sarah dies, and it also shows very clearly that we are entering a Very Dark Timeline as we shift to the title card.

I'm honestly impressed the writers had the chutzpah to go through with this and REALLY kill John for good. Though I also see why they didn't advertise it in the trailers....

Before I move on, I want to repeat what Sarah said at the end of this scene, because it’s so gut-wrenching for me: “A machine took him from me, and I was terminated."

I emphasize that last clause because this is how Sarah sees it. It’s not just John who died that day--she believes that SHE did, too. Ever since she was 19 years old, Sarah Connor’s life has been defined as “John Connor’s mother” and she’s built up her whole identity around keeping him alive no matter what. Now John is dead, and she... cannot be that person any more. So who, then, is she?

For better or worse, Sarah Connor is now a free agent. She is liberated both from her role in the future as the mythic mother figure, and any lingering obligations she has to patriarchy. From now on, there is no fate (for her, if not humanity) but what she makes for herself. It’s an awful, ironic twist, and I think it was a valid choice for the franchise to make. As long as John Connor is alive, everybody else will always be in his shadow--up to, and including, Sarah.

Without him, we’re in new territory. Which will look a lot like the old territory because humans are sadly predictable, but different all the same.

An "allosexual"s opinion of asexual stuff

Because why not, right?

First and foremost, I'm an exclusionist. I don't believe asexuals are inherently LGBT, as I'm against adding other letters. That being said, I have no problem with asexuals in general. That being said, a lot of "acecourse" pisses me off, so I decided to address it to all five of my followers (hi?)

1. Either you're asexual or not. Demisexual and grey sexual are dumb terms that literally equate to having standards and not always being horny. Most people are probably demisexual, because for a lot of people attraction occurs after you get to know the person. It's not unique, it's not a personality trait, and it's certainly not "qu*er."

2. On that note, stop using our slurs. They're not yours to reclaim. I think a tumblr post summarized it best:

Straight couple: hey, can we get a wedding cake?

Homophobic baker: sure

Straight couple: hey did you know we didn't have sex until we got to know each other? Isn't that qu*er? That's so qu*er of us!

Homophobic baker: why are you telling me this?

(Unfortunately I forget who wrote it, so if anyone actually reads this and knows, feel free to tell me who to give credit to).

(Edit: credit goes to @sitcomlesbian)

Y'all aren't getting discriminated against. Stop acting like it. And stop using slurs that have never been aimed at you.

3. Stop using the word allosexual. It's stupid. It creates a fake balance of power, as if allosexuals are somehow oppressing you. It's the same as saying "agingers" for non-redheads; just because they're a majority group doesn't mean they're automatically oppressive, or should have a word made up just for them.

4. Stop hijacking pride/posts. If you show up to pride, honestly, who gives a shit. I'll find it annoying but I won't shame you or anything. But if you go and complain about the "dirty allo kissing," literally go burn in hell. This is, quite literally, a gays only event and bi and trans folks too obvs. Go home. Stop adding "and asexual!" to pride posts. Stop shaming people for not including you.

5. If you're asexual but you like sex, I literally dunno what to tell you. If you do it for someone else, sure, but if your excuse is "I just like the way it feels!" or whatever 'sex-positive' nonsense-congrats! You've officially voided the entire meaning of asexual. A lot of non-asexuals feel the same way.

In the end, I think Bojack Horseman represents it best with Todd. He's struggled with it, accepted it, gone to meetups for it-great! But the only conflict he's faced is his girlfriend's overly sexual family, which is comedic because it's exactly what an ace would never have to face-and what gay, bi, and trans people often do.

#acecourse #demisexual #discourse #yall cant make me tag this as lgbt #asexual
