Yo te amé... incluso más de lo que me amaba a mi misma, pero tú nunca fuiste capaz de amar ni siquiera a tu propia sombra.

Because these many white holes would be depositing pure energy into the universe some of these points would remain as stars, this also helps to explain that nebula and stars existed together rather than one before the other. This is because a black hole and a white hole are two connected polarities of a twined vortex spinning in opposite directions, that means to say that the black hole part of the vortex spinning one way acts as a vacuum sucking up light, matter and energy while its twinned white hole vortex spinning the opposite direction spits these compressed forces out as energy, light, gasses and potentially matter. As an energy crowns from the birth canal of the white hole it follows the geometric pattern it is ejected from which is to say that like the white hole that has spat it out, the energy begins to spin forming a sphere or star around the ejection point (the white hole) which then feeds the stars expanse through its twinned black hole this partially explains the expanse of stars into red giants via being fed mater to burn into energy from a symbiotic attachment to a black hole acting as a feeding tube ejecting its cargo into the central vortex now occupying the heart of a star and causing that star to spin, have a gravitational pull and exert differential levels of light and energy based on its consumption of matter across space, time and dimensions.

Quizá no tenga un cuerpo perfecto, no tenga la cara más bonita o sea la mejor persona, pero estoy segura de que si voy a ser la que más te va a amar.

Post 6, Week 8 : Social Media Beauty Filters [Readjustment of Beauty]

This is age of digitalised beauty as a growing capacity of using beauty filters on social media have popularized in western society. For years, augmented-reality filters on social media sites like snapchat, Instagram and TikTok have allowed users to easily edit their pictures and videos with pre-set characteristics that often perpetuate specific standards like plump lips, hollow cheeks, wide eyes and many more. Throughout the time there’s AI filters have made and the experience with these filters is so seamless and can achieve such a convincing level of reality (Ryan-Mosley, 2023). According to the study, the famous filter called “Bold Glamour Filter” on TikTok has been used 16 million times since its released last month and young people love using filters as the number has spread over 600 million (Ryan-Mosley, 2023).

Unfortunately, I must describe a phenomenon “Digitized Dysmorphia” in which individuals become obsessed with the way they appear on digital media. Digitised dysmorphia is a socially constructed condition that is enabled by digital technology, yet it stems primarily from the cultural commodification of beauty and certain types of femineity (Coy-Dibley, 2016). And this form of modification has been normalised almost to the point of being expected in our current beauty culture, perhaps most starkly among Instagram stars and their viewers.

Related to this modification of beauty filters we can talk about pornography which predominantly involve male audience and reflecting their choices. In this relation, males are digitising a dysmorphia bred by male-dominated patriarchal views of what women should look like. And an influencer like “Sasha Pallari” said "I feel like the detrimental effect this is having on social media users has finally been taken seriously and this is a huge step in the right direction for how filters are used, and the way cosmetics are advertised online" (Hallett, 2021).

Ultimately, these filters have the results that are so ultra-realistic, and it is going to be harder to distinguish what is real and what is not! Also, some individuals use beauty filters and editing tools as a form of self-expression or to challenge traditional beauty standards, rather than to conform to them.

The obvious Doc Martens product placement literally makes no sense lol. How is Seojun able to buy expensive shoes when in the exact same scene his family is talking about money problems? “True Beauty” is never tarnished, even when the characters clearly don’t have the means to buy all of this expensive stuff. It takes money to be pretty
