(Not my art, just something I saved from here)
A photo of the moment Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. The photo’s been made more artistic with the addition of warm blue hue background and a reddish neon color outline on the bodies of both Will Smith and Chris Rock From the original ALT description - The Slap That Rocked The Oscars is just one of the many memorable pop culture moments to define 2022. Actor Will Smith walked up to the stage to slap Actor/Comedian Chris Rock for making an impromptu joke about Will's wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith.

😂😂😂

I’m giving this a full body eye roll
Photo of a person wearing a black dress, with only their torso visible. The person in the photo is looking directly at the camera and has clearly been photographed in a way to humanize them. The caption to the photo reads: She Loved Eric Adams, But Kept It a Secret. Now She’s Talking. Shortly after Eric Adams won the Democratic primary for mayor in 2021, he texted his former lover, Jasmine Ray, and urgently asked her to meet him. "I'm going to be mayor of New York City, and I don't want to do this without you," he wrote, in a message Ray recounted in a self-published book to be released on Sunday. A year later, he appointed her as the city's first director of the Mayor's Office of Sports, Wellness and Recreation, a $160,000-a-year job created by the City Council months before he took office. Adams, who has long described another woman, Tracey Collins, as his life partner, never spoke of his relationship with Ray, who also dated others. She too kept their romance confidential. Until now.

Romantics Johannes Brahms and Clara Schumann Lisel Mueller The modern biographers worry "how far it went," their tender friendship. They wonder just what it means when he writes he thinks of her constantly, his guardian angel, beloved friend. The modern biographers ask the rude, irrelevant question of our age, as if the event of two bodies meshing together establishes the degree of love, forgetting how softly Eros walked in the nineteenth century, how a hand held overlong or a gaze anchored in someone's eyes could unseat a heart, and nuances of address not known in our egalitarian language could make the redolent air tremble and shimmer with the heat of possibility. Each time I hear the Intermezzi, sad and lavish in their tenderness, I imagine the two of them sitting in a garden Among late blooming roses and dark cascades of leaves, letting the landscape speak for them, leaving us nothing to overhear.

Yours truly making a face with my mouth flat as a line. I’m a Black genderqueer person with dark skin, a beard of luscious 4C hair, and my head has all the hair I’m holding onto with the seat of my prized East African forehead.
