Implicit Bias against People with Facial Differences?

November 11, 2022 By Karl Leave a Comment

Implicit Bias re race and face?

  Implicit bias is a phrase for the idea that we're all probably at least a little bit biased, even if we really don't want to be. It's a term that describes what's happening when, despite our best intentions and without our awareness, stereotypes and assumptions creep into our minds and affect our actions. Implicit bias. The phrase has been used lately regarding race, and especially by those alleging that slight "microagressions" are hurtful to racial minorities. The right has fought … [Read more...]

Adorable cleft-lipped boy adopts a cleft puppy—instant love.

Cleft lip boy and dog.

Amid the 4 Ps confronting us Californians —pandemic, poverty,  protests, and pyrotechnics* — comes a heartwarming story from Sydney Page at The Washington Post. Just what I needed, as a fellow cleft-affected person, to forget about the "plagues" which are  depressing us in the San Francisco Bay Area. We've had to keep indoors (no outdoor masked activity) for twenty-something straight "unhealthy" Spare the Air days due to wildfires. Then a man who has a 2-year-old with a cleft … [Read more...]

Can you find the Cleft Heart reader in living room with several people

It's easy to find Waldo these days. He's the only one at the beach or out on a once-busy Manhattan street. So, check out the two photos in this blog and figure out who's reading Cleft Heart. Let me know. Unprecedented Times for us all. As the great political writer Thomas Paine wrote during a low point in the American Revolutionary War, "These are the times that try men's souls." But as another great writer, Charles Dickens, wrote at the same time, "It was the best of times, it was  the … [Read more...]

The Psychopath and The Hare.

March 15, 2020 By Karl Leave a Comment

The Psychopath and the Hare lip is my way to addressing what's become an interesting debate among moviegoers. Even comic book aficionados have gotten into the act.  And so may you and I as so many of us are at home without  sports,  political rallies, and other live TV as a distraction. We've got time to watch movies like  Joker. The debate is whether Joaquin Phoenix, who won an Oscar for Best Actor, portrays the Joker as a psychopath or not? The Psychopath and The Hare … [Read more...]

Many of you remember The Gilmore Girls popular show which aired 2000- 2007. It created a book club for people to read all of the 339 books referenced on the show, esp by Rory Gilmore who loved reading books. She also loved the smell of books. Rory Gilmore loves books. Rory   taught us   important things that are now a part of many people's everyday life. First - always take a book with you. This tip has saved countless of us from complete boredom. Whether we're meeting up with a friend … [Read more...]

Cleft Joaquin Phoenix strikes again – Joker.

October 6, 2019 By Karl Leave a Comment

Cleft Joaquin Phoenix -before and after makeup.

Evil teaches us to livE: — this anadrome** comes to mind when I think of cleft Joaquin Phoenix — the fictional miserable life of Batman's Joker generates evil — the real "miserable life" of Phoenix generates great art about evil and good. What comes to mind re the movie Joker is less relevant: another  star vehicle for Phoenix the biggest-grossing October launch ever, $90 million in first 2 days a "scary movie" with tons of violence that's forced many theaters to hire cops … [Read more...]

Discrimination, Blackface and the Bullying Connection.

February 2, 2019 By Karl Leave a Comment

Worries about discrimination and racism are at the heart of efforts to get Virginia Governor Ralph Northam to resign from office. But did you know there's a connection to bullying in all this? More on this later, but first the controversy. Northam's 1984 med school yearbook page shows a picture of a person in blackface and another wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood . . . next to different pictures of the then doctor-governor-to be. Discrimination and racism. Northam's many critics feel that 1) … [Read more...]

The new Paris Hilton. Are Appearances Deceiving?

  One of the themes in this website is "Appearances can be deceiving." In one blog  I wrote about the deceptive appearance of President John F. Kennedy. In my last blog  I tried to show (and explain to a degree), Paris Hilton's "Barbie" doll phase. We'll look at a number of statements … [Read More...]

Paris Hilton – the First Human Barbie?

It's no surprise that Margot Robbie is playing the first human Barbie in her new movie. Her looks and stature make her a natural to portray Mattel's doll introduced in 1959.  But Paris Hilton, too, can resemble the most famous toy of all. And so Paris may've beaten Margot to the punch as the first … [Read More...]
