Why Banksy is finally going to court to stop merchandising

www.fastcompany.com: Copyright is for losers–or so Banksy once claimed. But the days of the mysterious artist’s dislike for intellectual property now appear to be long gone, as he has recently won a case of unauthorized merchandising in Italy.

The unauthorized copying of Banksy works is widespread–a stroll through London’s popular markets in Camden and Brick Lane and a quick search online proves that. His work has been printed and reproduced on everything from mugs to mouse mats.

Billy Porter speaks on social media hate his Oscars gown received

www.usatoday.com: Billy Porter, speaking to Vogue before he walked the Oscars red carpet, knew what he was in for among some social media users:

"People are going to be really uncomfortable with my black (expletive) ass in a ball gown, but it's not anybody's business but mine."

The remark from the Tony-winning stage performer, actor and singer was both prescient and disproven. There was mega-praise for his velvet custom tuxedo look by Christian Siriano and outrage over the notion that an African American man in a dress was a threat to black masculinity.

Why We're Bad at Estimating Time (and What to Do About It)

zapier.com/blog: Over the last three years, I've painted five rooms in my house. The first room I painted was my bedroom, and I was convinced that I'd have the task finished in a weekend.

Wrong.

I honestly never really experienced anxiety until I came to college. In the midst of a huge change and being away from my family, the workload that I’m required to handle was definitely not helping their indescribable, uneasy feeling that never leaves. I had always been surrounded by people with anxiety and depression, so I understood it to some extent. But I only truly understood what it meant and how it affects you mentally and physically, until I experienced it for myself. I don’t think that there will ever be a “cure” for anxiety, or at least not one what works universally. Because anxiety stems from individual thoughts and experiences and varies from person to person, the solution is purely dependent on trial an error. Medicine is something that is toxic, especially to a young and developing mind, and it's the “solution” that many find themselves turned to, and I hope that one day there will be one that doesn’t involve medicine.
