Kacey Musgraves says a past boyfriend helped her become more accepting
From the beginning of her career, Grammy-winning musician Kacey Musgraves has been doing what feels authentic to herself. She sings about familiar country themes like falling in love and heartbreak. But she also sings about smoking pot and queer relationships. Musgraves talks to Rachel about not being defined by anyone but herself, becoming more open-minded and living with the ghost of her grandma.

A Pi, 27-29 settembre, c'è il festival Storie in movimento.
Oltre a proiezioni cinematografiche e concerti, l'iniziativa si basa su un'esperienza particolare:
- si scelgono un paio di scarpe tra quelle esposte in un luogo, non importa se siano del numero giusto;
- le si indossa o le si porta con sé;
- si scansiona il QR code correlato e ci si immerge nella storia della persona proprietaria di quelle scarpe.
Un modo carino per stimolare l'empatia e la capacità di mettersi nei panni di persone con una vita diversa dalla propria (dovrebbe essere piuttosto normale, ma tant'è, non sembra).
L'evento è proposto da Decidere da Soli, un progetto selezionato da "Con i Bambini", nell'ambito del Fondo per il contrasto alla povertà educativa minorile.

Our first official look at Huawei’s tri-fold.
The full reveal isn’t coming until September 10th — a date surely chosen to upstage Apple’s event that finishes just hours before — but here’s a teaser posted to Huawei’s Weibo account. It briefly shows the Mate XT Ultimate Design unfolded and folded, but mostly shows actor and singer Andy Lau being extremely cinematic.
Importantly, it doesn’t answer our biggest question: how thick is this boi?
VIOLS DE MAZAN : EN FINIR AVEC LA THÉORIE DU MONSTRE ET LE MYTHE DU BON PÈRE DE FAMILLE
Celles et ceux qui l'ont déjà vécu le savent : son agresseur, ce n'est pas un monstre caché sous le lit, un “migrant illégal sous OQTF” qui guette dans une ruelle sombre, un présumé détraqué sexuel qui vit en dehors de la société. Son agresseur c'est son frère, son beau-père, son meilleur ami. Ou dans le cas de Gisèle Pelicot, son mari depuis 50 ans.
