the phrase "lipstick on a pig" has always inspired a deep sadness in me. I think of the pig, looking forward to her big night out, and I bring myself to the verge of tears.

Marjane Satrapi, an Iranian-French cartoonist, filmmaker and activist, has died, France's presidency announced Thursday. She was 56.

People close to Satrapi said that she “died of sadness” after the death of her husband, Swedish film producer and actor Mattias Ripa, a year ago, French media reported.

In the 2000s, she won major acclaim for her black-and-white comic series and movie "Persepolis," a story that mirrored her own upbringing during the Islamic Revolution. The film received a 2008 Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature Film; she was the first woman to receive an Academy Award nomination in that category.

Her other graphic novels included “Broderies” (“Embroideries”) and “Poulet aux prunes” (“Chicken with plums”), about the death of her great-uncle. Among her directing credits were the feature films "Radioactive," starring Rosamund Pike as Marie Curie, and "The Voices," starring Ryan Reynolds.

In the early 2020s, she coordinated the publication of a book that artistically depicted the women's revolution in Iran after the death of Mahsa Amini. The resulting work, “Woman, Life, Freedom,” denounced the Iranian government's repression.

"We are not asking any Westerners to come and make a revolution in our place. Just look at these people. They really need people to watch them, they need somebody to testify that everything they’re doing for freedom means something," she said of the book in 2024. "And this is the way we change politics, through public opinion."

Nikki Hiltz, a transgender & non-binary Olympian, speaks out against the event’s new anti-trans policy:

“I don't know who needs to hear this but ZERO trans women competed in the Paris Olympics. Only ONE trans woman weightlifter competed in Tokyo 2021 and she did not win a medal. Can we please stop obsessing over trans people? And idk maybe focus our time, energy, and resources into real problems women's sports face?”

"When I started out on Broadway, 'Dreamgirls,' we lost half of our cast to AIDS."

Sheryl Lee Ralph—famous for her breakout role in the original Broadway production of 'Dreamgirls' and her ongoing portrayal of the no-nonsense kindergarten teacher on the sitcom 'Abbott Elementary'—champions another kind of teaching through her decades-long work as an activist, particularly raising awareness about HIV/AIDS.

Recently, in collaboration with the DIVA Foundation, the nonprofit she founded in 1990, Ralph executive-produced documentary special 'Living Proof' which highlights the experiences of Black women living with HIV in the South. Leading by example, Sheryl Lee Ralph is honored among TIME's 16 Women of the Year. Read her story and meet the honorees here: https://t.co/8O891bum4K

happy christmas eve to everyone who celebrates

[manic nixon dream girl @kennixonette]

if the polar express was done in any other animation style it would be the most beloved christmas film ever . the thing people don't realise tho is that the ugly weird animation actually adds to the whole thing. I find it thematically relevant
