Will 2019 be the year when people stop using “Latinx” instead of the already gender neutral Latinos? You know the gender neutral word that exists and can actually be used in its own actual language?
One day…
As a Latino who speaks Spanish I am so sick of people using “Latinix”. 95% of the time it’s used by white people who don’t speak Spanish. It is not your job to make a “gender neutral” word for us just because you don’t understand our language. Latina is for just women, Latino is for just men, Latinos is for BOTH. It is GENDER NUTERAL. Just like Abeula is grandma, Abuelo is grandpa, and Abuelos would be the gender-neutral term for grandparents.
(This is ok for non Latinos/Spanish speakers to reblog)
Anyone who finds the entire idea of “Latinx” utterly annoying and useless can reblog this post.
Forcing a “gender neutral” pronoun into a language that already has a way to express that concept? That’s colonialism babes
Actually plenty of non gender conforming latinx use the term so…
The preferred term as far as I’ve heard in the communities here is Latiné because it flows in Spanish and the “e” suffix is gender neutral and already integrated into Spanish. And I’m cackling at the idea that “o” is gender neutral like… it’s iterally the masculine suffix. The fact that it’s used as a “general” suffix is specifically bc it’s masculine centered and it’s more ~acceptable~ to use masculine words ban feminine if there are men present like these ppl are stupid but! Latine/Latiné is more effective.
Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans,Michael Pangrazio,Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.
There are more background paintings on this article, featuring comments by the masters/artists themselves !
Some of the following pieces were made by other artists 2:
exCUSE ME?!?!!??!??! TheYRE PAINTINGS?!??!!?!
SHUT UP I thought they were miniatures!!!!
It’s too beautiful. I could cry.
I love this because I’ll be watching a movie and think “how did they do that? Is that a building they built for this movie? Was it there beforehand? Is it cardboard or CGI? Is that actually some place on Earth that they’re filming?” And the answer to all of these now is “nope, that’s a painting”. I can’t believe some of the most iconic, familiar shots were paintings!
