Qigong: The Yoga of China

in Health & Fitness

Most people also will absolutely fall in love with it if they give it a chance. So what is Qigong? The direct translation means “movement or work with qi”, and oftentimes, people translate “qi” as “energy”, which isn’t too far from the original meaning, but for sake of simplicity, let’s say it’s energy here.

in Blog/Entertainment/Weekly news

  I have the pleasure of being a Generation-X gamer whose first system was an NES and have owned every Nintendo and Sony console since I started gaming for my eighth birthday not with Super Mario Bros., but with the original Final Fantasy. The movies and cartoons and breakfast cereal that I grew up with aren’t a source of nostalgic enjoyment, but plain old enjoyment–if I never grew out of something, I never missed it, and neither did my friends. My life has been pretty boring and uneventful, even my coming out was fairly nonchalant when one day I started…

Nine Badass Lesbian Superheros and Supervillains of Color 

in Art & Culture

Representation is important. And if you’re a woman, a person of color, and/or someone who identifies somewhere on the spectrum of “not straight,” representation can be pretty damn hard to come by – especially when it comes to the ass-kicking world of comic books. Comics have had their own interesting history with representation.  Marvel’s Stan Lee, in a 2000 interview with The Guardian, discussed his ideas behind creating the X-Men, saying, “I couldn’t have everybody bitten by a radioactive spider or zapped with gamma rays, and it occurred to me that if I just said that they were mutants, it would…

in Entertainment/Weekly/Weekly news

It’s hard not to love the ‘80s. It’s the decade that gave us door-knocker earrings, colorful pumps, pink lipstick, Cotler “parachute” pants, scrunchie hair ties, banana clips and ribbon barrettes… What’s not to like? We also remember the amazing music that stands the test of time. Madonna’s Like A Virgin and Open Your Heart, Bon Jovi’s Runaway, and Cyndi Lauper’s Girls Just Want To Have Fun remain in heavy rotation on radio stations across the nation. The lasting legacy of the ‘80s remains even in today’s pop culture. The movies of the ‘80s were no exception. This decade saw the release of countless love…

NINE ANIMALS THAT SHOW THE GENDER AND RELATIONAL DIVERSITY OF THE NATURAL WORLD

in Sex & Relationships

The natural world is a beautifully diverse space. From flying lemurs to pistol shrimp, animals everywhere have developed incredible ways to survive and thrive. Some animal species, for example, have multiple genders that display vast differences in physical features and behaviors. In fact, a great number of fish can change their gender if the situation calls for it, and some even change genders as many as ten times over the course of their lives. Just how “natural” is this gender and relational diversity in the natural world? Natural enough to be the focus of an entire exhibit, apparently. As it…
