hot labor summer

The summer where everyone from actors to fast food workers and even your mom either unionize their workplace or support their existing union by going on strike for better labor conditions.

Hot labor summer survives on the belief that EVERYONE deserves fair pay and labor rights regardless of your position or industry — not just CEOs and execs.
Strike tomorrow, hot labor summer is here and I got my picket sign and bathing suit ready!

vibe shift

Coined by trend forecaster Sean Monahan, a vibe shift describes the emergence of a “new era of cool.”

For example, fashion is a realm that experiences frequent vibe shifts, especially with the arrival of new decades. Gone are the days when frosted tips and low-rise jeans and Abercrombie & Fitch were in.

We’re in the midst of a vibe shift right now with the widespread lifting of Covid-19 protocols and restrictions. We’re going out again and adapting in new ways to our environment; some will survive the shifting tides, and some won’t.
Yeah I’m in my vibe shift right now. You won’t catch me in the club now that things are opening back up again. I’m all about going to the Home Depot, renovating my home and hearth, yknow? Once I tried topless gardening things changed a lot for me. :)

Vubbing

Vubbing (portmanteau of ‘voice over’ and dubbing) is the use of generative AI to digitally alter lip and facial movements to match different translations of a film’s dialogue track.
The studio wanted a PG-13 rating so the editors used vubbing to remove a lot of the profanity in post-production.

The film is vubbed, that’s why the voiceover looks seamless even though the actors originally spoke Japanese..

Slugging

Involves coating the skin in some kind of emollient or occlusive (like Aquaphor or Vaseline) as a way of trapping moisture, like a slug or snail, for that beautiful, dewy, slimy look.

If your skin is dry after washing, you might add your hyaluronic acid after a rose water spritz, followed by your night creme, and finish with Vaseline as your 'slug' to trap the moisture.
That’s not what you think it is on my pillow. I tried slugging last night and left a crazy slime trail

truthstorian

In the FX series “The Lowdown,” ‘truthstorian’ is a made up word that Lee Raybon (Ethan Hawke) uses to describe himself.

Truthstorians are citizen journalists who seek to uncover the truth, often outside of established institutions, by relying on traditional legwork, conversation, and a willingness to confront powerful figures and corruption (with mixed results).
I’m a truthstorian. I look into the past and the present and the future, searching for the truth that connects all of these things. Without understanding where we come from, we don't understand where we are.

anti-woman

It’s really simple. Pro-life = anti-woman.

Popularized by the legendary standup comedian George Carlin in his 1996 HBO special ‘Back in Town’.
Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.

Conservatives don’t give a shit about you until you reach “military age”. Then they think you are just fine. Just what they’ve been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. Pro-life… pro-life… These people aren’t pro-life, they’re killing doctors! What kind of pro-life is that? What, they’ll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it. They’re not pro-life. You know what they are? They’re anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don’t like them. They don’t like women. They believe a woman’s primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.
