'Harry Potter' fans are totally blown away by this illustrator's black Hermione fan art



#BlackHermione #HarryPotter #Hermione #JKRowling #SophiaCanning,

 Sophia Canning posted an illustration of Hermione as a woman of color, which took her about three or four hours to draw.
Notice how Hermione's wearing a SPEW badge — that's Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, for those unfamiliar. 
Illustrators and Harry Potter fans alike were amazed by Canning's beautiful piece. 
Fellow illustrator Sara Rhys said the piece clearly "took a ton of skill" and didn't look like it had been drawn quickly. 
One fan wrote that it was the "most beautiful and realistic Hermione" they'd ever seen. 
Another fan said it was "hands down" the best Hermione fan art they'd ever seen. 
Some asked about Canning's technique. She explained that the whole thing had been drawn in Photoshop. 
"Take a bow," one fan wrote. 
Some people took issue with the fact that Canning drew Hermione as a woman of colour. She had something to say in response: 
"Shut the fuck up dumbasses," wrote Canning. 
Let's all just remind ourselves what J.K. Rowling had to say when it was announced Noma Dumezweni had been cast as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Beautiful!

Watch Mariah Carey’s New and Improved Video for ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’

#MariahCarey #AllIWantforChristmasIsYou #Xmas #Music Mariah Carey debuted a new video for her Christmas classic ( and 19th number one hit ) “All I Want for Christmas is You.” Or should we say, “All I Want for Christmas Is You (Make My Wish Come True Edition)?” Why a new video?  To celebrate the number one, in part, but also because Mariah  needs  to be festive. More production values! Lighting! Everything that the holiday season brings. In a Q&A on YouTube before the video’s premiere, Carey said “There’s a lot of things to be discovered in this clip,” including a cameo from her dog Cha Cha.  “We wanted to make a modern classic,” she said. “That’s kind of been the theme of this song.” During the Q&A she hinted at a new album with some new collaborators that you wouldn’t expect from the elusive chanteuse Mimi. “Two different guys, actually,” she said. “The more the merrier, I always say. It’s Christmas!” By Bethy Squires  -vulture.com

Video: Does Instagram reveal who’s stalking your feed?

#Facebook #Instagram #socialmedia #SocialNetworking #stalking By  Ashley Carman   @ashleyrcarman     Jul 20, 2018 Instagram knows all of our secrets, particularly the people we love to stalk. Some people think the company outs our habits to other users in their story. These users believe that the people who populate at the top of your story viewers are the ones who stalk you the most. Maybe your crush is always at the top or maybe it’s your nemesis. It doesn’t matter who. We visited Instagram to speak with Julian Gutman, product lead for Instagram Home, which includes Stories and the Feed to figure out whether there’s any truth to this idea. Also while we were there, Julian and I chatted about the algorithm and the company’s switch to the algorithmic feed. Watch the video above if you want to know how people end up at the top of your viewer's list or the top of your Feed in general.

The Power of Authentic Self-Esteem

#HealthyRelationships #selfesteem #smart #beautiful #confident #authentic What does it mean for someone to be truly authentic? And how many people do you know actually fit that description? Do you feel that you’re authentic? Let’s look at what this word truly suggests and what blocks us from achieving authenticity. Naturally, the word authenticity evokes an image of something pure or unadulterated. A letter of authenticity confirms that a certain object or work of art is not a counterfeit. The act of authenticating is a process of determining that something is indeed genuine, as it is purported to be. Experts receive training to authenticate precious objects, memorabilia, and documents, among other rare items. Yet we have no such method for ascertaining the authentic nature of people. Short of being caught in a bald-faced lie or transgression, methods of determining an individual’s authenticity often go unexplored. One’s authentic nature is revealed in their ability to expre...
