I was recently rewatching Black Lightning and was thinking about Krondon's performance as Tobias Whale. Even though Hollywood historically falls into lazy stereotypes with characters with albinism, it’s awesome seeing talented actors like him, Dennis Hurley, and model/actress Diandra Forrest taking on roles and building prominent careers in the industry.

Who are some of your favorite actors or performers with albinism? Are there any specific roles or performances that stood out to you?

Hi, I have albinism and my skin is naturally super sensitive and incredibly dry. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get that deep, lasting moisture my face just drinks everything up and feels tight again a few hours later.

Here’s what I’m currently using:

AM:

Rinse with lukewarm water

Moisturizer: Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer

Sunscreen: Skin Aqua Super Moisture Milk SPF 50+

PM:

Cleanser: La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser

Moisturizer: Cerave Moisturizing Cream

Occlusive: A tiny layer of Vaseline (slugging) on extra dry spots

I feel like I'm missing a hydrating step. Does anyone have holy grail recommendations for gentle toners, serums, or thicker creams that worked for your dry skin?

Thank you!

Hey everyone, I’ve been reading up on Gareth Williams and wanted to see if anyone has a good documentary recommendation on his case. If you aren't familiar, he was a GCHQ codebreaker working with MI6 whose body was found locked inside a duffel bag in his apartment's bathtub back in 2010. The weirdest part? There were no fingerprints on the padlock and no forced entry. The police ruled it a tragic accident, but a coroner concluded he was likely killed. Let me know if there are any definitive documentaries or deep-dive videos I should check out!

Every time I look back into this case, I'm completely stunned by how long she was kept hidden right under everyone's noses. Being snatched at 11 years old in 1991 and not being found until 2009 is a terrifying amount of time. The psychological toll of raising two daughters in a backyard compound while being totally isolated from the world is just unimaginable.

Arat was cold, but when you look closely at characters like her, you realize they were often just products of Negan’s system. When she begs for her life at the end, the facade totally drops and you just see a terrified human being. It’s crazy how the show can make you feel conflicted about a character who started out as a straight-up antagonist.
