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...]

How to be a CLEFT HEART book booster and reap rewards.

Book cover of Cleft Heart: Chasing Normal

Thought some of you Cleft Heart book fans might get a kick out of seeing a photo (top right of the collage below) of politicians Pelosi and Schumer under an umbrella in D.C, back in the day. Actually, it's my sister Barbara and me in front of the U.S. Capitol after my dad mustered out of the military as a journalist in Washington, D.C. for the Navy's All Hands magazine. My loving sis  wrote last year about growing up with a brother with clefts here and here. She wanted to add to the book I'd … [Read more...]

Thrillist.com has put together a list of the 33 scariest horror villains of all time. Scott Weinberg at Thrillist has left politicians and Hollywood producers off the list. Wonder … [Read more...]

Lookism & the Resting Bitch Face, II.

November 13, 2016 By Karl Leave a Comment

Lookism: latest peeve is RBF. Bust shots of Kristin Stewart, Kanye West, Queen Elizabeth.

This website is dedicated to the face— esp the disfigured, asymmetric, heroic, villainous, or foolish face. This means that the site and my blog take on some pretty interesting topics. In my  blog two weeks ago, I raised the issue of the resting bitch face (RBF) and joked about choosing between a witch or a bitch face mask for Halloween. That would've meant putting frown and anger marks on one's face. Or getting a mask of one of the celebrities who claim (or others claim) to "suffer" from … [Read more...]

Bust shot of Michelle Aftimos and "Perfect" baby son with cleft lip.

It provides useful info for families with cleft lip and palate kids. I've added the info about Cher and her facial differences camps."Anti-bullying messages are prevalent in today’s schools, but some kids still may not understand how mocking someone for their differences can have profound effects that last well beyond the school day.“It breaks my heart,” Michelle Aftimos of Pomfret, [Md] said of the bullying her son, Kyle, 8, has received … [Read more...]

Reasons you love a psychopath

Reasons you fell for a psychopath

When we picture a sociopath in our head,  we often conjure up dangerous people like Ted Bundy or the Silence of the Lamb character Hanibal Lector. But sociopathy—or antisocial personality disorder (ASP)—exists on a spectrum, and certainly not all sociopaths are killers. And of the estimated  3.8% … [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...]
