were at a weird point where us imperialists are dismantling their own institutions for building soft power and maintaining us hegemony abroad (like USAID) because the people in charge are so drunk on racist hatred of anyone who isnt american and owning the libs they dont realize (or dont care) that these are the things that keep the US in a position of imperial power lmao

Terence Donovan was part of the English movement in fashion photography in the sixties and, together with Bailey and Duffy, was a photographer who made the world look at London for inspiration. His refusal to conform to expectation turned the fashion world on its head and left a lasting impact on fashion photography today.
Born in East London in 1936 to a working-class family, Donovan opened his first photographic studio in 1959, and soon became known for doing things that were edgy and original.
Terence Donovan: Fashion is a celebration of his best fashion photography, from his ground-breaking work in the sixties to his famous supermodel shots of the nineties.
Beloved by fashion magazines, from Vogue to Elle, Marie-Claire and Harper's Bazaar, Terence Donovan had been at the top of his profession for over thirty years when he died in 1996. This is a stylish gift book containing some of his most famous shots, perfect for anyone who loves his work, and lovers of fashion photography.

I'm not breaking any new ground if I point out that Sasaki's and Miyano's attitudes toward BL are symbolic representations of their queerness, right?
Miyano is super embarrassed about liking BL and even though pretty much everyone around him knows he's a fudanshi, he can't bear to take his manga out of the bags in public. He has so much trouble accepting his feelings for Sasaki because he's deep in the closet, and this makes him suspicious of the latter's motivation: Sasaki is as cavalier about reading BL as he is about liking Miyano, but this levity causes Miyano to constantly fear that if he allowed himself to reciprocate the attraction, Sasaki would disavow their mutual feelings with the same ease with which he accepted them, and in fact it takes Miyano seeing that Sasaki is also cultivating their shared interest on his own and being somewhat "serious" about it to truly believe that the golden retriever is really quite invested, even as he lets Miyano set the pace.
I don't know, I think it was an incredibly clever way to touch upon gay shame (scholars will fight over whether it is allegory or metonymy) without making it painfulpy explicit, retaining a layer of subtlety (to an extent) and turning it into its own source of comedy.
