LOVE the artimesia gentileschi bomber jacket. How is the quality?? I looked at the store online when you originally posted it but I'm always nervous to buy online if something looks too cool, I'm like if I can afford this there's no way it's that good, there's a catch. Does it feel like it's good fabric, well sewn together, etc? If so I may be tempted into purchasing something from them too...

It's 100% polyester but I'm pretty happy with it. It's pure plastic so it's warm enough for autumn, but the collar and wrists are soft and comfy. The stitching is fine for the fabric and price. There's only one unclipped end I can see, and it feels sturdy when you wear it. Only time will tell I guess? But I think for what I paid it's perfectly fine. I bought a medium but it's men's sizes so it's quite baggy on me, but I wanted it oversized so that's fine. The only oddness to it really is the internal pockets are bigger than the actual pocket spaces, so there's a fair bit of loose fabric there, but it's not the end of the world.

Repaint History: Reclaiming the Female Gaze in Art

by Cody Rooney

“Only men are capable of aesthetic greatness.” This acerbic sexist remark uttered by the late Brian Sewell, is perhaps one of the most controversial and illuminating to be made by an art critic in the contemporary era. Yet, the sentiment can be found throughout the tradition of art history dating back to its inception. Just ask anyone to think of three famous artists from any era, and the overwhelming majority of responses are all male.

Feminist art, seeking to tackle the rampant sexism in the creative industries, is becoming more and more prevalent as artists and women in power take a stand against the old guard of misogyny. Take the Guerilla Girls; feminist activist artists who wear gorilla masks in public and use facts, humor and outrageous visuals to expose gender and ethnic biases as well as corruption in politics, art, film, and pop culture. Using anonymity to their advantage they focus on issues of intersectionality, discrimination and human rights issues through hundreds of projects (posters, actions, books, videos, stickers) all over the world.

Or Toronto’s very own feminist arts activists. Started by two Toronto entrepreneurs, RepaintHistory seeks to champion gender equality in art and in the process rewrite the history of women in art. The aptly titled startup which encompasses a fashion line, a creative community and educational talkback series, helmed by Pegah Kargar and Jessica Tan is tackling sexism with a specific goal in mind, to “bring recognition and awareness to forgotten female artists of the past through various mediums while supporting present and future artists to ensure this gap will not exist in the future.” Women in art have been criminally underrepresented and undervalued for centuries, lending a disproportionate and sexist disposition to the art world, #RepaintHistory looks to rectify that through raising awareness, visibility and support for past and future female artists.

Kargar, who started the initiative after a having an epiphany about the disparity of representation for woman in art, in reflecting on it, maintains it is not so much that female artists were not producing great works in the past, as it is that history was simply written through a male gaze. “These women were very successful artists during their day, it’s just simply that they weren’t written into the history books.”

Artemisia Gentileschi is one such artist she mentions as being largely forgotten by history, having served as the inspiration for RepaintHistory. Kargar refers to her as “one of the most badass artists and pioneer feminists of the 17th century”, becoming one of the most sought after and accomplished painters in the Baroque period, and the first woman accepted into the Art Academy of Florence. The artists work oftentimes depicts visceral feminine rage, depicted specifically in one of her most famous paintings, Judith Slaying Holofernes (1612-1613), wherein two women behead a man. The painting is described as Artemisia’s fantasy depiction of her retaliation against the male violence she became subjected to, and a radical and rebellious statement of feminist autonomy in a time where misogyny was dangerously oppressive.

Judith Slaying Holofernes – Artimesia Gentileschi

Uncovering the female contemporaries of the canonical masters (Gentileschi was one of Caravaggio’s contemporaries), from the impressionists to the Baroque, is one of Repaint Histories mandates. One such way Repaint History seeks to increase the visibility of these artists, is through their very own line of clothing. Launched last year, Repaint History’s first release is a series of T-Shirts and Blouses juxtaposing the names of famed artists alongside their lesser-known female counterparts. Pegah hopes in creating this line that those wearing it will be walking billboards for the forgotten female masters. “By displaying these names beside each other we are looking to spark a conversation.”

The conversation for Repaint History does not stop at increasing visibility, it also looks at the many biases entrenched in the art world towards women, within the very fabric of its tradition. The startup is keen to make these biases known and rectified both stressing statistics as a form of factual data to display the disparities women face and the necessity for change. Pegah maintains that these material forms of data are a way to establish sexism in the art world as a very real and material problem. “When you see these statistics, it’s almost like you can’t deny that this is a serious issue… the proof is right there.”

For instance, a recent data survey of the permanent collections of 18 prominent art museums in the U.S. found that out of over 10,000 artists, 87% are male, and 85% are white, while women working across arts professions make almost $20,000 less per year than men. Pegah, however, remains optimistic that with increased visibility, the tides will begin to turn. “The more we talk about it, the more things will change… We will not stop until we see change.”

Coming off the cusp of their inaugural year, Repaint History has accomplished much in their first few months. In addition to Launching their Fashion Line; including a signature Blouse Collection, T-shirts, candles, and prints, Pegah and Jessica are finding other avenues to champion female visibility within the arts. They’ve hosted a series of Feminist Art Talkbacks including a packed evening at SOHO House Toronto as a prelude to the AGO’s “Impressionism in the Age of Industry” exhibition, and are actively collaborating with local female artists to raise awareness & funds. “We believe that it is not only important to give recognition to female artists of the past, but to ensure that we are supporting emerging female artists as well.”

They have tons of pent up anger, and often end up breaking things when they can't fight. They stole a punching bag for this exact reason and keep it in the team rat base, going at it all the time. It's pretty beat up, and xeir knuckles are constantly bruised. They have tons of scars from past fights, and love showing them off to people, as well as making new ones. They typically get into fights because of how annoying they are, but they really enjoy ticking people off for fun and will try their hardest to get under someone's skin. Xey often try to pick fights with the other admins, and enjoy making fun of people whether they're friend or foe. They don't often show affection, but when they rarely do it's through acts of service without saying anything about it, and although they're touch-averse from past trauma, their romantic love language is physical touch, often wanting to cuddle with someone but being afraid to do so or getting defensive and avoiding being touched. This is also a source of their anger, being that they don't get much affection due to constantly denying the affection given to them whenever it happens. Xey enjoy a good stealing every now and then, coffee keeps them energized, but it doesn't help with xeir insomnia. Xey don't eat all the time or even know how to cook, but they'll gladly flip through a food magazine and point out what food they'd want, or watch a cooking show and critique the chefs like a judge, often using heavy language and confusing vocabulary due to their surprising knowledge of the culinary world despite not knowing how to make most foods.

Occupation - Team Rat Admin

Specialty - Beaver and Groundhog pokemon

Likes - Annoying people, shouting, pokemon battling, straight up fist fighting, boxing, makeup, sweets, tails, translucent fabric, rat pokemon, crowns, dark pinks and purples, scars, men's clothing, complicated coffee orders, milk, food magazines, making fun of cooking shows, flags, symbolism

Dislikes - Fighting types, annoying kids, the name Malia (deadname), being called a girl, skirts, cold weather, baggy clothes, not having pockets, zodiac signs, the occult, fortune telling, reading, writing, being held back, cowardice, constricting clothing, running away, rules, spit, orange juice

Appearance details - They have scars everywhere, especially on xeir neck from constant scratching from both enemies and xemself being nervous. It's a bad habit they picked up. Their knuckles are constantly bloody or bruised, although the other person is usually worse from all the rings they wear and the punches xey throw. Xeir hair is naturally silver, but the purple streak and red tips are in fact dyed with kool-aid. Despite the plentiful amount of scars, they always try to keep their clothes pristine, often sewing it back together whenever it tears or stealing new clothes whenever the old ones start to look bad.

Do you want to talk about how to do Venus/Mei in the 2003 continuity? I'm curious to see your take on her.

I would love to!

I feel like she could absolutely keep most of her initial backstory. And she would have some mild rivalry with Donnie over tech vs mysticism. I feel like Mikey would stand with her. I sense a scene where Mikey extolls the use of magic in science, citing Clarke's Third Law. Raph would try to insult his intelligence. Venus thwaps him with a tessen.

Also, what if it's Mike who gives her the name Artimesia, Mei? Because 2003 Michelangelo has always been inquisitive and introspective in the background, he might just have a lot of knowledge regarding culture and pop psychology. This could tie in to our previous discussion on Mikey being naturally gifted spiritually. It actually makes Leonardo a bit envious.

2003 Venus/Mei would be very light on her feet, flexible, melting into the shadows with grace. I think Bishop would be fascinated by her and especially her weird bond with Mikey. Since he had initially targeted Mike the first time he had the boys, maybe he develops a weird fixation on getting him back and now oh look here's another one with similar mental craftiness.

Now I'm rambling. But oh, how I would love to see that happen.

Open Starter: Sleeping City

"'Go trick or treating', they said, 'It'll be fun!' they said. Yeah, well, what fun is this?" Artimesia stood outside the dark City Hall in her full costume. Which was, upon closer inspection, just her. Her family rarely did actual costumes as Halloween seemed to be when New Yorkers bothered them even less. Although there was that one year Uncle Mikey went as a pizza slice. But that's a different story.

She'd wanted to just go and have fun tonight, maybe go on a hayride maybe get some candy and go watch a scary movie. But no. The lights had to ho out. Artimesia's first thought had been panic, the last time she'd seen something like this the Kraang had invaded again. The adventure after had left a resonating fear in her mind that she just couldnt shake.

Artimesua huffed and crossed her arms around her, she'd forgotten to bring a jacket and the sunless sky was a bitter reminder. She switched her thoughts back to the reason she was even outside. She turned to someone next to her and gestured at the building, "Any thoughts on this? Personally I'm pretty ticked. It's like a buncha clowns are working up there."

@rosieposiepie tagged me in this book ask game!! bought: I am one of those nerds who goes to a local comic shop at least once a month, so all of my most recent buys are comics . . . most recently I bought the first trade paperback of Nice House on the Lake (which was SO GOOD), the latest Saga, and the first issue of Eat the Rich (which has completely sucked me in). Oh, and the first issue of Primordial, which I haven’t read yet

was gifted: My mom (an english teacher), gifted me the book Wonder Works, about the history of different symbols in literature! And a few months ago a good friend gave me If It Bleeds, a short story collection by Stephen King

gave/lent: I gave my friend in Virginia Crush by Richard Siken as a thanks-for-letting-me-stay-at-your-place gift last time I was there! Before that, I gave my roommate a couple graphic novels for their birthday and my mom a Mary Oliver collection for Christmas

finished: oh god, of books not already mentioned? For non-comics, I read Let the Right One In back at the begining of this year, and it was an Excellent journey. In terms of comics, I read every issue of The Me You Love In the Dark as it was coming out last year, and I looooooved it started: Axiom’s End by Lindsey Ellis!! I need to get back to reading it; I have a tendency to read a billion things at once so it’s been, like, Actual Months

How do I stop a friend from trying to convert me? via /r/atheism

How do I stop a friend from trying to convert me?

I have a very dear friend that I’ve known for decades. We have a long history together and even have friendship tattoos. About 10 years ago she became a Christian. Since then she has been trying to convert me (and a few other friends) to her religion. Lately she’s been getting more aggressive about it, inviting me to her church, sending me sermons, adding me to prayer groups on Facebook, and just bringing it up more often. So far I haven’t protested, just politely declined the invitations. Last week she sent me another sermon and wanted to know what I think of it. I didn’t listen to it, I never do. I know her faith is important to her and was helpful when she was going through a rough patch, and I don’t want to hurt her feelings but the idea of listening to an evangelical preacher fills me with anxiety and dread. It’s not going to happen. I don’t want to lose her as a friend but this is getting difficult. How do I get her to stop and still remain friends?
