Margaux Fragoso, Memoirist Who Wrote Hauntingly of Sexual Abuse, Dies at 38

“Tiger, Tiger,” Ms. Fragoso’s graphic account of her relationship with a much older man, was considered one of the more notable books of the year when it was released in 2011.

I cannot approve.  I could admire them.
I have not read the text.
She did grow up.

Humbert Humbert did not.

Street Style: Paris Men’s Fashion Week

The last stop in Europe for the men’s spring 2018 fashion season brings a final flash of stylish men to Paris.

Cloths make the man.
Ornament is the only thing.
Uniforms for an anarchy.

Proposed maternity cloths for a male.

Art, maybe.

President Erdogan of Turkey Recovers From Minor Health Scare

The leader appeared to faint while praying in a mosque on Sunday. Soon afterward, he told reporters he had had “a little instability” but was fine.

Mr. Erdogan is looking old.

He is not a friend to "the west".
I will not wish any person dead.

Kushner Adds Prominent Lawyer Abbe Lowell to Defense Team

Mr. Lowell has represented figures from both parties in high-profile cases, including former Senator John Edwards and the disgraced ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Still digging.

Urban development is not good stewardship.

It was a day of redemption for the Kiwis, who blew a seemingly insurmountable lead against Oracle in the last America’s Cup in 2013 in San Francisco.

Machine design triumphant.

What Can Queer and Dance Do for Each Other?

“What makes a dance queer?” was one of many questions considered at Explode! Queer Dance, a festival that brought together artists and academics.

Dance is a set of relationships people can have.
They are often though not necessarily sexual.
They are not necessarily discursive or participatory.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/discursive
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/discourse#English
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/discursive
Dance properly includes all human physical activity.
 
Queer in Abrahamic religious cultures implies a closeted homosexual.   Maintaining the closeted status requires constant detailed observation of the general culture.

Think "Cake Walking".
