greenie_breizhI'm about to start invigilating an exam, so obviously I'm updating LJ. I love modern life sometimes.
Apparently this is a well-known video but I'd never seen it before, so I wanted to share: Dove Evolution, on how photoshop helps with setting unattainable standards of beauty.
Also I've kinda lost track of WTF exactly is happening in California around Prop 8 since there's a lot of legal subtlety going on that I don't really get, but from what I do understand, organizations are suing Prop 8 and people who put it on the ballot arguing that the proposition is not constitutionally valid. The point is that there's a judge that kicked ass last week by requiring the lawyer of the backers of Prop 8 "to explain how allowing gay couples to wed threatens conventional unions". This isn't the actual trial yet but I'm going to be SO HAPPY if the judge doesn't take BS and forces the Prop 8 folks to go and really justify WTF they're doing and why they're doing it.
