#BLACKGIRLMAGIC #BLACKGIRLSROCK: FEMINISTS On WHY THEY WORK For PLAYBOY MAG!!!



Related image

Considering the extremely divisive current political climate, it would not a stretch to suggest that the USA has not seen women to be be as unified and outspoken about their civil rights in many years!!!

It would also not be a stretch to suggest that in 2017, women are being more aggressively subjugated to discriminatory legislation on both the state and federal levels. Our national body of lawmakers is overwhelmingly male, and they seek to regulate everything concerning women from abortion and  birth control to maternity leave and equal pay.

Since its founding in 1963, PLAYBOY Magazine considers itself to be a longtime advocate of women's rights.

In 2012, PLAYBOY Founder HUGH HEFNER said;
“Today, in every instance of sexual rights falling under attack, you’ll find legislation forced into place by people who practice discrimination disguised as religious freedom. Moralists say that if sex doesn’t beget children, it’s a sin. Your sex life, your privacy rights and the rights of men and women everywhere are casualties of this belief…No one should have to subjugate their religious freedom, and no one should have their personal freedoms infringed.”

Understanding The HEF, meet ASHLEY WILKERSON, KEANNA AUBERT, MYSHALA'E JACKSON, and PAT LACEY; the CCG FABULOUS FOUR of 10 FEMINISTS On WHY THEY WORK For PLAYBOY:

ASHELY WILKERSON:  VIBE SPECIALIST

What feminism means to me: Freedom. Equality. The space to BE. 
Why I work for Playboy: I work for a company where I can show up as my authentic self. I get to be as bold, brilliant, black and beautiful as I want to be. I feel comfortable voicing my opinions, and I work directly with three dynamic & compassionate women. (One of them is my boss.)
Keanna Aubert
KEANNA AUBERT: EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
What feminism means to me: Feminism, to me, encompasses the freedom to choose the life I want to live and how I want to live it, without societal constraints or judgment based on my gender. It’s the liberty and latitude to exude traditionally feminine qualities of compassion and grace while also killing it in the workplace with determination, intelligence and purpose. But most important, feminism is about fighting for equal pay, compensation and recognition of equitable contributions from women based on merit, as opposed to antiquated social mores. 
Why I work for Playboy: Playboy personifies an activist, revolutionary and opulent lifestyle while unapologetically celebrating the uninhibited sexuality and sensuality of womanhood. It’s the first place I’ve worked where I can begin the day exercising social responsibility by meeting with members of the NAACP’s Legal Defense Fund to discuss tactics to protect the disenfranchised under a new White House administration, and then usher in dawn with a voyeuristic look into the nightlife of millennials. Playboy is liberation from the constraints of gender, race and age. 


MyShala'e Jackson


MYSHALA'E JACKSON: HUMAN RESOURCES ASSISTANT

What feminism means to me: FE feeling M myself I in the N nude I is S so M magical.

Why I work for Playboy: When I was a little girl, Playboy, to me, embodied beautiful women who are classy, allowed to have fun while working and most importantly, they were nude. Nudity has always made me feel free while at the same time giving me a sense of being present with myself. It is the truest form of self-love.


Image result for pat lacey

PAT LACEY: PLAYMATE PROMOTIONS SPECIALIST

What feminism means to me: A belief that all people are entitled to the same civil rights and liberties and can be intellectual equals—regardless of gender. With this belief I am motivated to speak out for the rights of all—especially those who do not have a feminist platform. 
Why I work for Playboy: I believe Playboy’s philosophy provides all nationalities and genders a strong platform for peaceful and loving environments and scholastic growth. Employee opinions matter; therefore, sharing opinions allows a tremendous amount of personal and professional progress.

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING - TRAILER!!!

Related image

Does the man make the suit, or; does the suit make the man???

That is question with which young PETER PARKER must come to grips in the forthcoming MARVEL COMICS UNIVERSE film, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING.

A young Peter Parker / Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
Spider-Man: Homecoming also stars Zendaya, Jon Favreau, Donald Glover and Tyne Daly.
Directed by Jon Watts, Spider-Man: Homecoming was written by Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley, Jon Watts & Christopher Ford, and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers. The film is produced by Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal, and executive produced by Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Patricia Whitcher, Jeremy Latcham, and Stan Lee.

ALANO MILLER Of UNDERGROUND On ROLLING OUT MAG!!!

alanomiller_web

WGN dramatic series UNDERGROUND star ALANO MILLER covers the new issue of ROLLING OUT Magazine!!!

Here are some interview interludes:

On what attracted him to the role of CATO in UNDERGROUND:

“When I got the job, I remember just sitting down with [“Underground” creators] Misha [Green] and Joe [Pokaski] and saying it’s going to be easy for anyone to just call him a villain or to even play a villain but it’s going to be much harder to fight for his humanity. It’s going to be much harder to make sure that he has a voice in the story. It’s going to be much harder for you to have that tug and pull at your heart. If I’m doing that to you, then I’m winning. I’m doing my job as an artist because now you don’t know [on] what side of the fence he is."

On how he discovered just how strongly the UNDERGROUND audience was attached to CATO:

“When I was missing in episode 10,” he recalls some on Twitter proclaiming, “ ‘If they kill him, I’m not watching the show anymore, ‘He needs to be alive,’ and ‘I cannot believe they would kill him off.’ ”

On while a student at PENN STATE UNIVERSITY; missing his opportunity to study under late Playwright AUGUST WILSON:

“I showed up to look for his office and they said he had just passed. It was very devastating to me because this is a man, of course, I looked up to. I studied under [Tony Award-winning director] Lloyd Richards [who directed six of August Wilson’s plays on Broadway, including Fences] at SUNY Purchase. So I had been in his circle and never had a chance to be with this great man as a student."

On how UNDERGROUND surprises and empowers him:

“The reason why I fell in love with [“Underground”] is because it took [Black history] out of the museum and really brought it on home and made it very relevant for me."

On how the impact that Underground has on kids is what makes him most proud:

"Aldis and I and Amira were in D.C. for an event and we went to Shake Shack and we were in line and there’s this Black woman with her two kids and this little girl is just looking at me and she’s smiling but she keeps putting her head in her mom’s arms to hide and I’m like ‘OK’. And the next thing I know she’s just staring at me and staring at me and then she just runs over and she hugs me and I’m like ‘oh’ and she’s like ‘Cato.’ It just took my breath away and then I found out that she’s just 7 years old and she and her sister, 9, both watch the show.”
It’s “seeing kids embrace their heritage and love and see that they are superheroes, that that’s what their DNA is, as opposed to just being the victims,”

CONGRESS VOTED To REPEAL INTERNET PRIVACY RULES: WHAT THAT MEANS For ALL Of US!!!

Image result for united states congress

On Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted to repeal privacy rules that prevent internet service providers (ISPs) from getting consent before sharing their customers' information. A week after the Senate approved the repeal, President Donald Trump's signing off is the final step before the privacy protections are officially gutted.
The rules, which were passed by the Federal Communications Commission back in October, would have required ISPs to get explicit consent from customers before selling their web browsing history and app usage data to the highest bidder. They hadn't gone into effect yet, and the first provision would have gone into effect earlier this month had FCC chairman Ajit Pai not blocked it.
Gizmodo points out that the rules were repealed using the Congressional Review Act, which was implemented only once before Trump went into office but has been used a whopping seven times in the past couple months. Republican lawmakers have opposed the rules, saying that the rules target internet providers while offering an advantage to other web companies like Facebook and Google, which are not bound by the FCC.
"We are one step closer to a world where ISPs can snoop on our traffic, sell our private information to the highest bidder, and pre-install spyware on our mobile phones," Jeremy Gillula, a senior staff technologist for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told BuzzFeed.
So what does this mean? In essence, your ISP ould sell your personal information without your permission—a potentially grave scenario, considering it's quite difficult to prevent monitoring by internet providers. They can also use this information to further push targeted advertisements.
In addition, ISPs can use hidden tracking "supercookies" on our phones, which cannot be deleted and are used by major companies such as Verizon. As Gizmodo highlights, your ISP still has to allow you to opt out of having your information sold, so you can contact your ISP to figure out how to do that—but that doesn't mean that this isn't a major loss for personal privacy.
3 VERY INVASIVE THINGS Your ISP COULD DO If The PRIVACY RULES Are REPEALED:
1. Selling Your Browsing History
"The consequences of repeal are simple: ISPs like Comcast, AT&T, and Charter will be free to sell your personal information to the highest bidder without your permission — and no one will be able to protect you," wrote Gigi Sohn, counselor to former FCC chairman Tom Wheeler, in an op-ed at the Verge Monday.
While Americans can use free browser tools to block many types of web tracking, monitoring by internet providers is much harder to prevent. "Your ISP is in a privileged position, where they can see everything," said Gillula, who has written about the "creepy" data collection that ISPs can conduct if the regulations are gutted.
"Any attempt to block the ISP from monitoring you, they have the power to override," Ernesto Falcon legislative counsel at EFF, told BuzzFeed News.
2. Compiling Internet Profiles And Injecting Targeted Ads
"There are major medical, financial, and legal websites — like the US Courts, for example — that are largely unencrypted. ISPs will be able to build detailed profiles of their customers — knowing when they're at vulnerable points in their lives — and sell that information to practically whomever they wish," Gaurav Laroia, policy counsel at Free Press, told BuzzFeed News. If someone is visiting a medical website, for instance, third parties can infer what illnesses they may suffer from, revealing sensitive health information.
"It's well-established that these internet companies are looking hungrily at companies like Facebook and Google; they want in on that advertising action," Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst with the ACLU, told BuzzFeed News. "This is an effort by them to preserve the ability to monetize people's information. And without these rules, they are going to plow forward."
3. Deploying Hidden Tracking Cookies On Our Phones
Following a 15-month investigation, the FCC settled with Verizon Wireless last year over the company's use of so called "supercookies" — tracking code that could not be deleted, which Verizon used to monitor customers' online activity without their permission.
"It didn’t matter if you were browsing in Incognito or Private Browsing mode, using a tracker-blocker, or had enabled Do-Not-Track: Verizon ignored all this and inserted a unique identifier into all your unencrypted outbound traffic anyway," the EFF's Gillula wrote. The browsing history, according to the FCC, was collected for several years without consent; Verizon and other third party companies used it for targeted advertising.
For privacy advocates, pervasive data collection of your internet activity can be enormously invasive. "The websites you visit can indicate information about your financial life, you sexual life, your medical life, what disease you have, what diseases you might be worried you have," said Stanley.
"We don't even know what other derivative uses exist, because no one has ever had this type of information on consumers," Falcon said, referring to new types of data collection and novel forms of the sale of personal data. "That's what's most frightening."

CHANCE The RAPPER Wants YOU To Be HIS INTERN!!!

Start amping up your resumes - GRAMMY-winning CHICAGO-native Rapper CHANCE The RAPPER needs an INTERN!!!

Monday, Bro. CHANCE tweeted that he is looking for an intern that has experience with "putting together decks and writing proposals."

One eager young man tweeted that he is a "2nd year law student in Chicago looking for a summer job, and; has lots of experience in dealing with the media and background in entertainment and contract law."

One young lady tweeted her actual resume (second tweet below).

However; not everyone was feeling the love. Unpaid internships often walk the very fine line of Experience vs Exploitation. One tweeter voiced such a concern (third tweet).

Chance addressed the issue with a follow-up tweet ((final tweet below).

Do you think that YOU might be interested in being an intern for CHANCE The RAPPER???

If so, email your submissions to ctrinternsubmissions@gmail.com

PLAYBOY CONVERSATION: TREVOR NOAH!!!

Image result for trevor noah

PLAYBOY Magazine Journalist DANIEL BARNA catches up with SOUTH AFRICAN native  COMEDY CENTRAL talk show The DAILY SHOW With TREVOR NOAH Host TREVOR NOAH for The REAL FAKE NEWS: PLAYBOY CONVERSATION - TREVOR NOAH!!!

Here are some interview interludes:

Most people here know you as a The Daily Show host first and a stand-up comedian second. Do you think audiences go into your shows expecting you to go heavy on political material?
Well, I’m comfortable doing anything, because I believe everything is politics. I’ve always been fascinated by the conversation in America: “Do you consider yourself a political person?” and I’m like, “What does that mean?” Everyone is a political person. Don’t you vote? Don’t you know what’s happening with your president? What your councilman is doing? All of this is politics. Anyone who says they’re not a political person, I’m like, “What are you doing in society?” Politics is everything you do in your life, from the potholes, to your house, to how much you pay in taxes. So I’ve never been worried about that, because I feel all topics pertain to politics in some way shape or form.
One of the jokes that’s been getting the most reaction from your special is your take on the word P*SS*. Is that in an ode to your mother, who you’ve said many times is the great hero of your life?
Yeah—I mean, I think it’s to women in general. But my mom wasn’t going to let any man take away her power, steal her sexuality or her femininity from her. She didn’t believe in being shamed, she didn’t believe in having to restrict who she was, to make a man feel comfortable. I grew up in such a strong matriarchal world, and it was really my mom who said, “You can’t hold me back from me doing my thing. If you’re not man enough to handle a woman like this than that’s your business, but I’m not going to become less of myself so you feel like more of a man.” One of the ideas that has stuck with me in life is if men spent less time trying to oppress women to be below us so that we feel more like men, and just spend more time just trying to be better men, then we’d have a better society. If you empower women, the women empower you back and you’re in a place where everyone is winning.
How do you see Trump’s presidency playing out globally? Will other countries stop looking to the U.S. for leadership in times of crisis?
Definitely. I think they’re doing that now. Here’s the thing that Donald Trump is right about: America has been picking up a lot of slack for the rest of the world. There is no denying that. But don’t take for granted that picking up the slack for somebody also gives you a lot of authority. There is a reason America gets to dictate so many decisions around the world. There’s a reason America is in the room for every conversation: It’s because they’re picking up so much of the slack. But once other countries start to fill that void, when Russia is now the protector of the other countries around it, and the same with China, and as other countries start to pick up that mantle, America might look around and say “Oh, look we have no more responsibility,” which also means they get no more rewards.
Would you have him as a guest on your show?
The invitation is eternally open. In the end, he’s the President of the United States and we have to treat him with respect. That’s what people don’t understand. Even though he’s become this character who has bumbled through conversations and ideas and has been extreme, he’s still the President, and I would afford him the same respect as any other President. But I would also ask him genuine questions as I would any other President.
Because you’re not from this country, do you think that gives you a unique position from which to comment?
I think it’s a balance. I’ve realized Donald Trump has made everyone an insider and an outsider at the same time, because every single one of us is experiencing this madness for the first time. Granted, I grew up on a continent where there were many leaders like Donald Trump, but we’ve never seen someone like this, who has the economic and military might that Donald Trump does, so in many ways we are all outsiders to this reality. And that’s what comedians are. We are outsiders to the madness that we’re experiencing.
