A well-intentioned producer once said to me, “John, you’re so talented, but too bad you’re Latin — otherwise you’d be so much further along.” When I pitched a movie about Latinos, another producer said: “Latin?

The California Wildlife
Center recently rescued a Northern Mockingbird whose feet were
knuckling, meaning she was unable to open her feet to stand or perch. This was forcing the bird to have to stand on
the tops of her toes which were curled under and causing her additional
injury. CWC veterinary staff created “snowshoes” for the
mockingbird to retrain her feet to open and allow the injuries to her
toes to heal. The treatment was successful and the bird is now
snowshoe-free and on the road to full recovery

“Did you know that The Vamp Stamp was created by the cofounder of beautyblender? It was also created out of a special need: our celebrity Makeup Artist founder, Veronica, lost the use of her hands due to a benign cervical spinal cord tumor and could no longer do makeup in the traditional way. This solution is made with love and strength for anyone who needs a little extra support accomplishing complicated makeup looks, for ANY reason. Don’t let anyone – or anything – take your Vamp away.”
So it was created as a kind of accessibility device. I am so happy.
HOLY BATS. This thing looks amazing, and I want one. Yes, I can do winged liner *relatively* easily, but DUDE. Anything that makes that process easier? Gimme.
