Jazmine, 26

“I’m wearing a vintage dress borrowed from a friend, vintage belts and purse from Seven Wonders collective, vintage Prada heels from Sujuk, rings from Keane NY, thrifted pearls, a secondhand choker from a friend. I’m loving a feminine Y2K look like 2000s Blumarine shows.”

Postcards from Ukraine to members of Congress – a suggestion 💡 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 📮

It's clear that House Speaker Mike Johnson is acting on orders from Donald Trump to prevent a Senate bill which includes aid to Ukraine from getting a vote in the House of Representatives. Johnson is a craven careerist who would sell his mother into slavery to please Trump.

The Senate bill ("Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act") could still be taken up – and would almost certainly pass – if just a handful of Republicans from moderate districts decided to support a parliamentary procedure called a "discharge petition" in order to bypass Speaker Johnson.

There are 17 Republicans in the House of Representatives in 2022 who won in congressional districts where Joe Biden had beaten Donald Trump in 2020. These Republicans from moderate districts would be a good grouping to entreat to support the discharge petition. A number of them have already expressed support for Ukraine in the past. It's a matter of getting them to put conscience ahead of their fear of Trump.

Below is a list of addresses of the district offices of those 17 Republican Representatives. If you are in Ukraine, buy a postcard and clearly write a short message which tells how you love freedom and how Putin's illegal war has affected you. It can be in English or Ukrainian. Use a Ukrainian stamp for postage and mail it as soon as possible.

Individuals need pick just 1 of the 17. But schools, businesses, clubs, and military units with at least 17 people can arrange to send one to each of the listed Representatives.

Be polite but urgent. Perhaps remind them that Ronald Reagan understood the dangers of Russian imperialism.

FAQ

Why physical mail instead of email or phone calls? There's an enormous chance that your email would end up in a spam folder. Also, the Congressional email system tends to prioritize email originating from the districts of each individual House member. Phone calls from outside the US are likely to be filtered out. Unlike email or phone calls, a physical piece of mail has a real world presence. The recipient has to do something with it. You can't simply press DELETE to get rid of it.

Why postcards and not letters? For security reasons. It takes less time and effort to inspect a postcard than a letter or parcel. Your mail will arrive sooner.

Why use postage stamps instead of a postage meter? You want the recipient to know that you are REALLY from Ukraine. Using official Ukrainian stamps is a simple way to do that. When people see Україна or Ukraina on the stamp then they will know it originated in Free Ukraine. FYI: the letter Ї does not exist in Russian, recipients should look for this on the stamp. Also, your stamp automatically turns the postcard into a collector's item. It is more likely to be saved and to serve as a continuing reminder of your urgent request.

Why send the postcards to district offices instead of offices in Washington? Postcards from Ukraine will get more attention locally by local staff; if a sizable number arrive, it might even get mentioned in local media. In Washington, people tend to be more blasé about such things.

What is the proper form of address for House members? Rep. or Representative before the surname – no distinction based on gender.

FOR REFERENCE: Here are electoral stats for the districts. The column marked R margin indicates the size of each Representative's winning margin in 2022. Rep. Duarte, for example, beat his Democratic opponent by a very narrow 0.4%

SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW BY KEANE IS THOMAS SINGING TO ALASTAIR CHANGE NY MIND

[ezlo-x]

Could you talk about how you developed your art style?

Honestly,,,I wanted my art style to look like a “disney” art style back when I started. Specifically the TLK style back in middle school all the way to freshman.

And then I started to take inspo off of Glen Keane’s art style around freshman-senior year in high school.

Though in my senior year I also started to get inspo off of Don Bluth’s work and I also was considering to make my artstyle a little more simplistic. I was a bit all over the place.

And then freshman college year, my main inspo was just Don Bluth’s work. And I slowly wanted my art to look like if it were from the muppets. And then I guess around 2020 I was able to achieve that simplistic-shaped art style that I wanted. Also also many of ny mutuals’ work inspired me a lot even to this day u_u

And then during the beginning of my college sophomore year I started to watch again cartoon saloon films and just really loved many of the films’ art style. And I guess with a little bit of Genny Tartakovsky art style influenced mixed in there or better yet that late 90s/2000s tv cartoon style

And now a college sophomore about to be junior this is were my style is at. I actually feel a little stuck atm with my work so I can’t rlly say I’m happy where my art style is at. I feel like I can push it a little further on how I want it.

Telling The Right Stories Is Important Feels Kreshonna Keane

"I think some people fear what they don't understand, and some are simply not willing to learn."

“We photographers can continuously encourage people to be themselves,” says NY-based photographer Kreshonna Keane about the impact we can have on those around us. Focusing on the struggles of the BIPOC community, she looks for stories that have a visual impact on the viewer. Her recent work caught the eye of Adobe, who announced her as one of the photographers in their Rising Stars…

♛ Spotted on the Upper East Side…

Name: Agnes Andrews Pronouns: She/Her Age: 19 years old   Hometown: New York, NY Occupation: Model Social Status: Insider Faceclaim: Mimi Keane

Who Is Agnes?

"So are you my bitch or what?”

Well, well, if it isn’t the wildest one in town. The Upper East Side could use a little shaking up what with all the best ones choosing to be boring now. I know that you’d never be accused of being boring (upon pain of whoever’s exaggerated end). You love attention, you adore being the center of attention and when you’re not? Oh boy. Everyone better watch the hell out because you take no prisoners when the mood suits you. It doesn’t take much to rile you up and you love being petty (and destructive). You live to be adored but the second you think someone doesn’t like you or they’re not making their whole day about, y’know, you- all bets are off. You can’t stand disloyalty even if you don’t exactly follow the straight and narrow yourself. You’re literally just here to be iconic which I can relate to. Speak soon. XOXO ---Gossip Girl

A Little Extra

Ever since she was a child, Agnes Andrews is a name made to be talked about. Barely out of high school and the girl was scouted by an agent when she was out shopping one day. The very look and presence of Agnes commands attention from anyone that is in a radius close enough to be lucky enough to catch sight of her. Figuring she had nothing to lose, she agreed and signed with her agent. Like any career the jobs started off small but then almost over night, Agnes blew up on the scene like a firecracker to the face. Suddenly she was everywhere and is the most in demand ‘it’ model of the year. Dubbed a rockstar in a models body, there were always going to be comparisons to other models such as Kate Moss, Shalom Harlow…it was always models with attitude and while she appreciates the compliments, Agnes would argue she isn’t going to be the next anyone. Other people are going to try and be the next Agnes Andrews and fail miserably. Right now though? Her career is flying high! Everyone wants her, her face is everywhere and designers claw and scrap to hire her. She’s the apex predator of the modelling world. 

Being nineteen and being launched into the stratosphere overnight is a dream come true, but it’s also a lot. She’s suddenly been gifted with the ability to make demands and people will clamber over each other to meet them. There’s no ‘no’ anymore. So Agnes makes more and more outlandish demands, pushing everyone’s buttons harder and harder just because she can and to see where the line really is. To the eye, Agnes is taking being famous like it’s second nature. Ice cool about the whole ordeal of success when deep down she fears it could be as fleeting as others careers have been. She doesn’t want a fifteen minutes of fame career, she’s here for the long run. However, those fears can bubble to the surface and it can cause Agnes to lash out. Making friends has proven to be difficult for Agnes to say the least. She’s navigating an adult world as a teenager and it’s caused her isolation. Agnes goes through phases of craving attention and companionship, a bestie, but it never ends well. She’s been burned too many times before. She can never really trust anyone and will always stab first. It’s kill or be killed and Agnes is already driving in the knife.

What Does Gossip Girl Have On Them?

At the time of the original takedown, Agnes knew of Gossip Girl but she didn’t care enough about it at the time. She wasn’t one of the ones who were being constantly targeted. However this time round, she’s far more concerned. Agnes’ life is full of spilling out of seedy clubs and bars, going to sketchy places for parties. Drink, drugs, debauchery - it’s all there for the world to see but that’s only a fraction of what truly goes on.

Connections

Oliver and Caisson Andrews - the cousins! This is the closest that Agnes has been to them in a while. They’re looking forward to reconnecting and potentially causing absolute chaos.

Ruby Reyes - the bestie and the worstie! Ruby and Agnes are both big at the same time in the modelling world, having worked a couple of jobs together too and have the same PR agent. Loves and hates her so much.

Amber Watts - PR agent and full time babysitter. Amber makes sure Agnes gets from A to B with any job. Smooths things over when Agnes causes a scene or pisses someone on set off. Amber is the best.

Jenny Humphrey - super interested in meeting this apparent fellow ‘that b-i-t-c-h’ and that’s just from Jenny’s socials alone. Things could be very interesting between them.

Ditch Weather Predictions! Master Dew Point Magic! 🌦️

#DewPointDrama: A Humidity Odyssey Editor’s note: Summer 2023 has been one of the hottest on record — although one of the coolest we’ll ever see again — and we could all use a little help navigating the heat. So let's dive into a wacky world of weather wisdom, circa 2022 (another scorcher of a year!), that aims to crack the code of your weather app, or at least tickle your funny bone. When a 72-degree day feels like a swampy armpit, I start to realize that everything I’ve ever thought I understood about weather, mainly temperature, is a lie. Sweating through my shirt, wiping my brow, and staring in disbelief at my weather app wondering, “How could this be the 72°F I know and love?” Thankfully, I’ve found a better number to tell me how it’s going to feel outside — and it’s not the relative humidity, which is also a sham. It’s the dew point. Dew Point: The Unsung Hero of Misery Metrics The lower it is — ideally in the 50s to 60s — the less sticky it will feel. The higher it is (70s) the closer it will be to my personal hell. (The relative humidity, a sometimes popular metric, measures the dew point against the temperature, making it particularly unhelpful on very, very hot days, when the temperature may be much higher than a relatively low, but still uncomfortable, dew point.) In an effort to better explain why the dew point is the superior way to tell the weather and what it exactly means, I spoke with John Homenuk on a recent rainy, uncomfortably sweaty afternoon. Homenuk, who studied meteorology at Kean University, is a dew point enthusiast and the reason I found out about dew point forecasts in the first place. He’s the force behind the New York Metro Weather Twitter account. NY Metro Weather: Where 58,000+ People Beg for a Weather Guru's Approval New York Metro Weather has a 58,000-plus following that looks to it to answer a really simple question: Is the weather in New York City today going to be good or bad? Homenuk gives his followers a vibe rating out of 10 (sunny, humidity-free days score the highest) and sprinkles in a brief explanation of why it will or won’t be a pleasant day in New York. As Homenuk confirmed to me, not all 72°F days are created equal — and the dew point might be the best explanation why. The Dew Point Drama Unraveled Interviewer: It’s a pleasure to speak with you. In your words, the vibes in New York are awful today. Homenuk: Yeah. We kind of need it though. We’ve been in such a bad drought. Sometimes I have to try really hard to keep what we need in terms of weather away from what the actual vibe is — today is definitely two out of five. Interviewer: I think what makes it stink is that it’s very sticky outside. It feels like I’m in a low-temperature sauna. Homenuk: Right! Like a cooler rainy day is pretty nice. Interviewer: Yeah, and I wanted to ask you about what makes it feel cooler. Homenuk: I’m recently — in large part because of your Twitter feed — a dew point convert. The dew point is high today and it feels disgusting. And I know that the weather feels better when the dew point is lower. Interviewer: But I don’t get why, or what it is. What is the dew point, and why does it feel so good when it’s low? Homenuk: Well, first of all, dew point is just a great measure of how it’s going to feel outside. I think temperature is just as important with humidity, but relative humidity, like the relative humidity that’s on our weather apps, is just a total crock. Because it’s not — it’s literally relative to the temperature, so it’s not helpful. Interviewer: Okay, say more. Homenuk: Relative humidity doesn’t help me fully understand what it’s going to feel like outside. Whereas the dew point, in a very basic sense: It’s the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. ... The Dew Point Dictionary: Translating Misery into Meteorology So, there you have it, folks! Forget the thermometers, toss away the humidity readings, and embrace the dew point as the MVP of weather feels. When it's down in the 50s or 60s, you'll feel as if you're dancing with a weather angel, frolicking in the cooling breeze. But if that dew point creeps into the 70s, well, you might want to grab your snorkel and swim trunks, 'cause it's gonna be a steamy mess out there. Just remember, not all 72°F days are created equal. The dew point is the sneaky puppet master, controlling whether you're sashaying down the street with a popsicle or wilting like a forgotten salad. So next time you're about to step outside, skip the rain dance, consult the dew point, and embrace the sweet embrace of accurate weather misery metrics. And don't forget to give a little nod to the dew point enthusiasts like John Homenuk, who are out there making sure we all know what level of misery we're signing up for when we venture into the great outdoors. Cue the weather-themed confetti and a chorus of grumbling umbrellas! 🌦️🌡️🌤️#DewPointDrama: A Humidity Odyssey Editor’s note: Summer 2023 has been one of the hottest on record — although one of the coolest we’ll ever see again — and we could all use a little help navigating the heat.

Avväpning

A har läskiga ögon. Som om jag ser rakt mot nån mörk varelse som kan äta upp och och spotta ut mina ben. Hjeeeeeelp! Men jag måste titta i hans ögon och försöka behålla my cool. Vi pratar om rationella saker och saker som ska fyllas i rutor medan jag ser nåt helt annat. Jag fixar det inte och måste titta ner. SNÄLLA! Släck elden ffs! Jag höll blicken överallt förutom hans ögon och när jag pratade om människors bristande välmående idag och tyngre saker så var det som om det fanns nåt annat där under. "Jag skulle kunna hjälpa dig att..." TACK. Äntligen. Sen gick det att titta i hans ögon igen. Phew.

"Kean jeag setta bredvid deaj Kearin? :) " FUck, igen. Jag säger ja men vill säga nej. Det börjar bli lite cringe. Fåtöljen för två knakar till när han sätter sig. Det känns som att en björn just landat. Jag som är lång känner mig liten. Han vill säkert väl. Han klappade säkert mig på ryggen för att han vill vara snäll. Kanske sänder jag ut krama mig vibbar. Kanske är jag överkänslig och att det mest är normalt att sitta bredvid människor. Men VA han tvungen att jämt sitta bredvid mig i lillsoffan för två?

Mina vibbar bara japp...här är en till. Jag vet inte om det är så att de känner min attityd och blir sådär vill va del av den? NÅT ÄR DET. Det får va så. Jag attraherar vissa dudes. Vissa har fucking creepy eyes.

Men jag bara nä...jag skiter i det här och ursäktade mig och låtsades gå och hämta mer choklad sen gick jag och sydde. Jag sa det till H men han va så borta att han knappt registrerade det. Antingen är det alla mediciner eller så var han så trött eller så brydde han sig inte.

Men det finns många med snälla ögon också thank god. Sånna som håller avstånd och mest är trevliga och snarare vill dela sina tankar och sånt. De är guld värda.

Men jag tycker att når jag min kärlek så kan man få lejon att spinna, så det kanske är lite tester; can you keep your calm in front of the lion?

De märker det säkert inte ens. Men det är väl en del av min resa, jag påverkar människor på massa sätt och kanske har det med nån slags hangup med sexualitet att göra? Att jag inte vågar möta mina drifter typ. Ugh, dunno. Eller så är jag en player in disguise och har en ny i varje hamn.

Jag tror...det kan vara att jag har lite av en in your face attityd ibland som inte är direkt kvinnlig. Jag utmanar och vissa blir rädda och andra vill...kontra. Åh, sure vi kan leka den leken :) Sen tycker jag vilken lek? Jag mest var mig och lite obrydd. Jag har nog ingen aning om vad jag sänder ut. .. JAJA jag är human oså får det va så.

Hermès Crocodile Birkin 35 Black Bag The Hermès Birkin bag is considered one of the company’s most recognisable designs, first launched in the mid-1980s and named after English actor and singer Jane Birkin. Kylie Jenner has also been criticised for getting daughter Stormi a full set of Prada baguette bags and a Louis Vuitton bag - she is two years old. For the Golden Globes in 2004, Jennifer Aniston wore a vintage black Valentino robe with a thin strap that buckled throughout a plunging neckline. The look was one of many first examples of the signature purple carpet look the actor went on to sport during future awards seasons. In 2010, she selected a similar robe by the same designer which featured a thigh-high split and one-shoulder. Kate Bosworth wore a pink disco ball Dolce & Gabbana gown to the 2016 Golden Globes. For those that aren’t fazed about value, these establishments may also be hidden troves of limited version or discontinued gadgets. But after the due date and grace interval have passed, unredeemed items will be processed and refurbished if needed earlier than they are released to the stores for sale, explained Ng Kean Seen, deputy CEO of Maxi-Cash Group. It has by no means been simpler to acquire designer arm sweet in your wardrobe in a sustainable method. You probably already know of resale platforms, rental services and Carousell. Now, add pawnshops to your list of places to hit up when you are within the temper for some luxe for less. To make environment friendly use of the house, Ms. Chua had a “filing system” the place she saved lots of of designer dresses, jackets, robes, and furs worth hundreds of dollars. During that 1984 flight, Jane Birkin's belongings fell out of her handbag, inspiring Jean-Louis Dumas to create a top quality, sturdy, and functional bag for the singer/actress. The design of the Hermès Birkin was impressed by the Haut à Courroies, a handbag in Hermès' catalog from 1900. The Hermès Birkin is taken into account to be the head of luxurious handbags — made to order and constructed by hand constructed of top quality leather, lizard, and ostrich. Due to the time it takes to construct every bag, the Hermès Birkin is constantly in excessive demand whereas supply is restricted. Getting your palms on a Hermès Birkin bag directly from the luxurious home is a course of shrouded in mystery and intrigue. To get yourself one of this, you'll be required to half methods with not lower than $85,000. In addition to the attainable counterfeits that every one well-known brands are topic to, fake Hermès bags—including the Birkin bag—are alleged to have been made by a gaggle together with seven former Hermès staff. Ten folks went on trial in June 2020, alleged to have made dozens of counterfeit bags that bought for tens of 1000's of euros every, for a complete revenue of over €2 million. Another of Jenner's Hermès-specific favourites, which she touted as essentially the most "unique and cool" bag in her collection is the limited-edition Dalmatian Birkin, which is presently valued at roughly $28,000AUD.

With the typical retail price for Hermès' cult Birkin Bag currently starting from $13,100 - $18,300 AUD—depending on its size, materials and particular detail—Jenner has some main worth sitting on her well-lit cabinets. Not to say that buying a Birkin bag is now recognised as a better investment than shopping for gold. In Birkin, Hermès has created one thing that feels inaccessible until extremely exclusive. As for whether or not the Birkin will always be so costly, solely time will tell. An employee holds an Hermès diamond and Himalayan Nilo Crocodile Birkin handbag at Heritage Auctions places of work in Beverly Hills, Calif., September 22, 2014. A Peta activist protests against Hermes purses in Hamburg, Germany. In 2021, NY-based designer, MSCHF, purchased $122,500 of Birkin luggage and used them to craft a brand new "Birkinstocks" sandal. Rapper Future was seen sporting a pair of the footwear in February 2021. In 1837, German-born French entrepreneur Thierry Hermès opened a saddle and harness purveyor in Paris. Gradually, the house prolonged into accessories and baggage for its riders, and right now, in paying homage to its origins, the family-run luxury brand resurfaces horse motifs in every thing from clothes and modernist jewellery to pillows and handbags. https://phoenet.tw/replicas-hermes-bags/hermes-crocodile-birkin.html Covered in crocodile leather-based and sparkling with diamonds, the extremely rare Hermes Himalaya Birkin bag is the “holy grail” of purse collections, in accordance with public sale house Christie’s. It was an attractive leather-based piece that was designed specifically for Jane Birkin. Birkin was pleased to make use of the bag for a while, but the bag was quickly changing into far too heavy because of all the items she was lugging around together with her. A stamped-grain leather-based that seems to be more structured and inflexible that nearly all different leathers. One of the extra sturdy items within the vary that's robust sufficient to withstand everyday wear and tear. Despite the truth that Birkin didn’t converse French at the time, she rapidly rose to fame, as did her ardour for modern and opulent clothes. The company said it was shocked by the images, however added that one of the farms within the PETA video did not supply skins for Birkins. Birkins are additionally covetable because they aren't only extremely expensive, but in addition hard to get. And lastly, with the base value at $12,000, you generally have to be in a sure wealth bracket to afford them. Many within the feedback and undoubtedly the world don’t get the ‘hype’ with Birkin baggage or why they value so much! The reply is a mix between brand perception and craftsmanship. wikipedia hermes crocodile birkin
