I backscanned through the facebook feed of the #alien #probe who is claiming to have gone to High School with me, and she does in fact, in a caption claim to have graduated the same year as me. And she is not in a single picture in my #yearbook. NOT ONE. Who is this "#person"? All of her pictures look like extremely realistic cardboard cutouts. I have a weird feeling she might be a #military #project or something.

The Great Green Wall

source: https://www.greatgreenwall.org

The Great Green Wall is an African-led movement with an epic ambition to grow an 8,000km natural wonder of the world across the entire width of Africa.

A decade in and roughly 15% underway, the initiative is already bringing life back to Africa’s degraded landscapes at an unprecedented scale, providing food security, jobs and a reason to stay for the millions who live along its path.

The Wall promises to be a compelling solution to the many urgent threats not only facing the African Continent, but the global community as a whole – notably climate change, drought, famine, conflict and migration.

Once complete, the Great Green Wall will be the largest living structure on the planet, 3 times the size of the Great Barrier Reef.

The Great Green Wall Begins to Rise

At present, this ambitious project is only about 15 percent complete, according to the latest estimates. But some $20 billion has recently been pledged at international level to push it forward and hopefully reach the target in eight years.

A practical and doable environmental project with promising success factor. Going to be educational to follow this project and observe the results.

#Google Had Secret #Project to ‘Convince’ #Employees ‘That #Unions Suck’

source: https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7d7j9/google-had-secret-project-to-convince-employees-that-unions-suck

Google’s director of #employment #law, Michael Pfyl, described Project #Vivian as an initiative “to engage employees more positively and convince them that unions suck.”

I think with too much #power and #wealth, the words: "Don't be #evil!" lose their meaning and are interpreted in the opposite way.

Role-Reversal Photo Series Challenges Traditional Gender Stereotypes

Eli Rezkallah's gender reversal series

Photographer Eli Rezkallah challenges gender stereotypes in his ongoing series, "In a Parallel Universe." The first subject of the series was gender reversal recreated through vintage advertising to show the disparity between traditional roles assigned to men and women.

Rezkallah is a fine art photographer and the founder of Plastik Studios and Plastik Magazine, based in Beirut, Lebanon. Rezkallah founded the studio at the age of 19 and saw his magazine become the first visual arts magazine in the Arab world, born out of a clear vision that Rezkallah wanted to convey and share with the rest of the globe.

Although dedicated to his studio work, Rezkallah also pursues personal photography, such as in his "In a Parallel Universe" series. After overhearing a family member mention that "women belong in the kitchen," Rezkallah felt ignited to respond to this outdated perspective through photography.

"Not only was I enraged, but I was also hurt and confused as to how the people that we love can say things that are so dangerous out of sheer habit," he says. "It made me want to tell those people: 'what if this was you? What if society functioned in a way that put you at a disadvantage or in a compromising position?'

The idea materialized through a series of role-reversal advertising-themed images, using traditional marketing materials from decades ago but in stark reversal. Rezkallah imagined women as a powerful force in the image, while men are assigned supportive roles that traditionally have been given to women.

Rezkallah tells PetaPixel that "people reacted positively to the project because it was like getting revenge -- a lot of people from all genders felt empowered by the subversion in these photographs."

Both for his personal and professional work, it takes a sketched idea to start with which is followed by the production phase and use of intricate sets. Rezkallah says that when it comes to styling he is "very hands-on" with it. The difference now is that Rezkallah has relocated to the United States and has to communicate with his team in Beirut via video calls and meetings.

Rezkallah's personal work currently entails working on his first book and his first solo art show in New York this spring. "It will cover my journey into art, growing up in Lebanon during the war, and how my mental state informed my work," he says. "It's already been therapeutic going through the process, and I look forward to sharing it."

More of Rezkallah's work can be found on his personal Instagram, Plastik's website, and the studio's Instagram page.
