The latest Narcotica podcast sits down down with Harm Reduction Coalition’s, Eliza Wheeler. Eliza has been working in harm reduction, distributing syringes & naloxone directly to people who use drugs for over two decades, & reflects on how easily the bedrock values and principles of the movement can be compromised and co-opted by political forces when it goes mainstream. Eliza talks about how funds for naloxone end up in the wrong hands, how syringe access deals with NIMBYism, & how the heart of her harm reduction philosophy is bodily autonomy.
Plus-size swimwear company Swimsuits For All set out to prove that “sexy curves go beyond a size four” by shooting their own swimwear calendar, including a picture reenacting this year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. The company said they were hoping to capture “confident, sexy women with varying body types to highlight the beauty in all women.”
Tweets from Viv and the first is referring to Charlie’s last name changing to Morningstar
Because nothing says classic like copying another name from the same character of another hit show
Dude, Morningstar has ALWAYS been a part of Lucifer’s name. Wayyyyyy before the tv show even existed. She’s not copying from Lucifer; she’s simply using the actual Biblical name.
Lucifer literally means “morning star,” ffs x3
Even if Lucifer was always Latin for morning star, that title already has a huge rep for the Lucifer series as is. Either way, it’s worn out by now, and is a really unoriginal surname in these circumstances. It’s one thing to recycle an overused name for the main character your own take of said popular trope (in this case, religious fiction), and it’s another matter entirely to go out of your way to change long standing character’s current name to it.
It’s an extremely cliche move, puts the Hazbin franchise one step closer to mainstream, and their old surname Magne was much more classy, yet simple, translating to ‘all mighty/warrior’ in ancient Norse, and ‘great’ in French. I don’t have a problem if people like how Charlie Morningstar sounds, but there’s nothing at all classic about it anymore, just disappointing to see.
