Snow White and the seven dwarves, as depicted in Disney's new live-action film DisneyThe live-action Snow White remake was already proving to be a headache for Disney thanks to a string of different controversies – and it’s now facing a backlash from several actors with dwarfism. Rachel Zegler as Snow White in Disney's new film DisneyFormer Game Of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage, who has achondroplasia, previously voiced his disapproval when the Snow White remake – which is notably titled just Snow White, rather than Snow White And The Seven Dwarves – was first announced. Advertisement“I was a little taken aback by [the fact] they were very proud to cast a Latino actress as Snow White, but you’re still telling the story of Snow White And The Seven Dwarves,” said back in 2022. “You can be progressive in one way but you’re still making that fucking backwards story of the seven dwarves living in the cave. AdvertisementThe publication suggested that the original seven dwarves had been replaced by seven new characters of mixed genders, races and heights.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGThe Trump administration has transferred hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador even as a federal judge issued an order temporarily barring the deportations under an 18th century wartime declaration targeting Venezuelan gang members, officials said Sunday. AdvertisementTrump sidestepped a question over whether his administration violated a court order while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday evening. These were bad people.”Asked about invoking presidential powers used in times of war, Trump said, “This is a time of war,” describing the influx of criminal migrants as “an invasion.”AdvertisementTrump’s allies were gleeful over the results. The Trump administration has not identified the immigrants deported, provided any evidence they are in fact members of Tren de Aragua or that they committed any crimes in the United States. The bar on deportations stands for up to 14 days and the immigrants will remain in federal custody during that time.

And so, my dating life became a rotation of white men who, in retrospect, viewed me as something between a conquest and a curiosity. The messaging was relentless: Asian men were nerdy, awkward “nice guys,” but never the ones who got the girl. I wasn’t just dating white men — I was competing with other AAPI women for their attention. Instead of seeking solace among other AAPI women, I retreated into a self-imposed exile, ashamed of my own scarcity mindset. White men were never the dream ― they were just the default, the easiest illusion to chase.

I wanted to find something poetic or important to say, something worthy of my final chance to talk to my dad. “My dad would know the answer to this,” I blurted in an editorial meeting a few months after his death. “But I can’t ask.”Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisementI was trying for jovial, but the words sucked the air from the room. In the world of those words — You never get over something this big — I was broken, irreversibly, by something I’d had no hope of controlling. And whatever complicated feelings I have about their choice of words, I’m thankful for that.

The late actor Gene Hackman arrives with his wife, Betsy Arakawa, at the 60th Annual Golden Globe Awards in 2003. This case highlights the importance of understanding how Alzheimer’s disease presents, and what we can do to help our loved ones living with dementia. We need to be showing up for them.”HuffPost UK spoke with Angelo Makri, senior knowledge officer for wellbeing at the UK’s leading dementia charity Alzheimer’s Society, to learn more. Alzheimer’s disease affects everybody differently, says Makri, so not everyone will experience the same early symptoms. “At Alzheimer’s Society, we know that getting a dementia diagnosis can be daunting, but we believe it is better to know.

For a brief moment on Wednesday, it looked like Democrats were going to use it on the GOP funding bill, heartening Democratic voters who demanded they do more to stop Trump. Other Democrats, however, said that passing the GOP spending bill would empower Trump to withhold funding to states and localities that don’t do his bidding, including those of Republicans who may stand in his way. Lawmakers must tackle several issues in the coming months that could require bipartisan support, including raising the debt ceiling and delivering aid to victims of the California wildfires.

Are you a male or female in there?” a rumbling voice called into the women’s toilet. And why was a man even in the women’s room, questioning me? Did a kid’s mother report me to her husband for looking too much like a man in the women’s room? Anyone who pushes back on my use of the women’s room suspects that I am a trans woman. A “closed for cleaning” sign was braced across the door of the women’s toilet.

Five years is a big deal in cancer terms because if you make it that long without any recurrence, the chances of it coming back drop significantly. It will go away,” but it didn’t for a long, long time. And even when, amid those things, I did get a mild case of COVID and recovered, the anxiety remained. Today, I live very much the way I did before COVID and cancer, but at times, I still feel my body tensing around crowds and unpredictable situations. Just as having cancer has forever changed me, COVID did, too.

A middle school teacher in Idaho is speaking out after she was forced by school officials to remove a poster from her classroom that pushed her "personal opinion." Inama told local news station KTVB:“They told me that they were in violation of district policy because, in today’s political environment, they’re considered a personal opinion."
