#Cheetah  #KristenWiig #PattyJenkins #WonderWoman  #WW84

 The “Saturday Night Live” alum will face off against Gal Gadot in the sequel.

If a resurrected Steve Trevor clad in a Members Only jacket wasn’t enough to get you amped about the “Wonder Woman” sequel, then behold the first look at Kristen Wiig as the superhero’s new foe, Cheetah.

So excited to confirm the most thrilling news. Yes! It’s true! So incredibly lucky to welcome the sensationally talented Kristen Wiig to our Wonder Woman family. Can't wait to finally work with one of my favorites. And SO excited by what we have planned. !!! @GalGadot
7:51 AM - Mar 9, 2018

Director Patty Jenkins has been blessing us with sneak peeks at the upcoming “Wonder Woman 1984,” which doesn’t actually hit theaters until November 2019. On Wednesday, she posted the first image of Wiig as Barbara Minerva, aka Cheetah, and by the looks of it, she’s already a more exciting villain than Ares. 

While the character has seen many iterations throughout comic book history, one current speculation is that Wiig will play Minerva as an anthropologist who comes upon the lost city of Urzkartagan and is transformed into Cheetah in a ritual.

 Jenkins confirmed Wiig’s casting in March after reports of her involvement in the sequel surfaced. Star Gal Gadot tweeted, “This is going to be WONDERful!”

In the photo, Wiig, wearing an ’80s-appropriate baggy sweater and mid-calf skirt, stands in what looks like a museum filled with various stuffed animals, presumably foreshadowing her transformation into the feline archnemesis.

 Cheetah is historically one of Wonder Woman’s greatest adversaries, but Vulture reporter Kyle Buchanan teased that the two will start as friends in the movie. Minerva, he wrote, “emulates Wonder Woman, then seeks to usurp her.” 

 Details about the sequel are scarce, although we do know that “Wonder Woman 1984” will fast-forward decades after the first film, which dropped the demigoddess in the middle of World War I and will shift location to Washington, D.C. Apart from Gadot, Wiig, and Chris Pine, “Games of Thrones” star Pedro Pascal has also been cast in a pivotal but undisclosed role.

 Fans shared photos across social media earlier this month of Gadot and Pine filming scenes in the D.C. area with extras walking around in ’80s-era clothing. Gadot’s stunt double was spotted performing an aerial stunt in front of the U.S. Capitol in one, particularly stunning sequence. 

 “Wonder Woman 1984” is scheduled to open on Nov. 1, 2019.

Your Inner Critical Voice

#Negativevoice  #innercriticalvoice #innercritic #Introspection #Psychotherapy #MentalHealth #BlackTherapist #Triple5LightTherapy  Our inner voice performs all kinds of important tasks—but when it gets negative, it can be hard to turn off. Ethan Kross, a psychologist and neuroscientist who studies introspection, has a solution. By Clay Skipper- January 24, 2022 We’ve all got a voice in our head. (Maybe you can hear yours, right now, reading these words.) And though you’re intimately familiar with that inner voice, since it talks to you all day long, you might be surprised to learn just how incessant it is. According to one study, it can spew up to four thousand words a minute. If you’re awake for sixteen hours, that’s more than 3.8 million words every day. That’s because that voice does so much for you: It helps you keep information in your head (remembering, say, a phone number or items on a grocery list), simulates and plans for upcoming events, like a date or an interview, ...

How a Group of Gay Male Ballet Dancers Is Rethinking Masculinity

#Queerness #Dancers #Ballet #Masculinity #Dance #LGBTQ #Gay These men are finding new stages on which to express their #queerness, collapsing gender barriers in the world of dance. 1. The Ballerino When I was 15, I met a dancer from Canada’s  Royal Winnipeg Ballet . The company had come to  Los Angeles  to dance in the  Olympic Arts Festival , and my parents volunteered to host a post-performance dinner in our backyard. I recall about 200 people — family friends, Olympic officials and maybe 25 dancers — eating curry (is that right?) off paper plates. But that’s not what this is about. No, this is about the ballerino — my word for him — I met and what he represented to a lonely gay kid in Southern California in 1984, a kid who had never before met another gay person. Earlier that evening, I had seen the dancer turn, leap and smile onstage, expressing through the mute language of ballet who he was. Something about his movement told me he was gay, and I felt ...

4 Strategies for practicing Radical Self-Acceptance

Radical Self-Acceptance Painting by Jennifer Mazzucco #mindfulness #self-judgment #RadicalSelfAcceptance #negativethinkingpatterns #thoughts Radical acceptance involves acknowledging how life unfolds without resistance, even if we don't like things at any given moment. It can take effort to apply this principle. How can we begin to accept our situation and ourselves despite experiencing anxiety, uncertainty, and fear? Why self-acceptance is not the same as complacency. It is essential now, more than ever, to practice radical self-acceptance. This means training ourselves to find inner stability despite unpredictable external circumstances. Ultimately, we are responsible for acknowledging our hidden wounds, which can lead to personal and collective growth. Radical self-acceptance is the opposite of avoiding responsibility or giving up in self-defeat. It requires pushing against old ways of being to open the door to deep healing. Embracing radical self-acceptance allows us to int...
