Teacher Turned Fitness Model Has To Block Former Students To Keep Them From Seeing Her OnlyFans Content

Posted on by Phil Lam X

Why teach in the classroom when you can do some teaching behind a paywall on the internet? Many teachers made the career change during the pandemic, including Louise Roberts.

The 40-year-old quit her job as a math teacher to become a full-time fitness and OnlyFans model. The move has been a beneficial one for Louise. She’s grown her Instagram following to more than 185,000 to go along with more than 254,000 on TikTok.

The large social media following has helped her to create a sizable OnlyFans following and increase her earnings to more than $560,000 since leaving teaching.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t some downsides to the new career path. Louise revealed in a recent interview that some of her former students have found her social media accounts and attempted to message her.

That’s caused her to have to be vigilant about who is following her and block any of her former students that she comes across.

“They find you on Instagram don’t they?” she said. “Like ‘oh my God, you used to teach me, you’re well fit’, and I’m like, ‘blocked.’”

That just comes with the territory for former teachers turned OnlyFans models. Like other former teachers, former students trying to sneak a peek isn’t going to cause her to close up shop.

“I’ve just had to try to accept the fact that there will be ex-students who will find me on there, they will try to screenshot something and send it to their mates,” she said.

“I could get really upset about it, and stop doing OnlyFans and close everything down, but then I’ve got to pay the bills and live my life.”

You can’t blame her for that. The math here makes too much sense. She’s found her true calling and that’s as a high level content creator, not a teacher.

Groundbreaking Movie Star Anna May Wong To Be First Asian American Featured On US Currency

Posted on by Phil Lam X

Early movie star Anna May Wong, who broke into Hollywood during the silent film era, will become the first Asian American to appear on US currency, a century after she landed her first leading role.

Wong’s image, with her trademark blunt bangs and pencil-thin eyebrows, will feature on the back of new quarters from Monday.

The design is the fifth to emerge from the American Women Quarters Program, which highlights pioneering women in their respective fields. The other four quarters, all put into production this year, feature poet and activist Maya Angelou; the first American woman in space, Sally Ride; Cherokee Nation leader Wilma Mankiller; and suffragist Nina Otero-Warren. The latter two were, along with Wong, selected with input from the public.

“These inspiring coin designs tell the stories of five extraordinary women whose contributions are indelibly etched in American culture,” the US Mint’s acting director, Alison Doone, said in a statement to CNN last year, when the list was revealed.

Considered the movie industry’s first Chinese American star, Wong overcame widespread discrimination to carve out a four-decade career in film, theater and radio. She acted alongside icons including Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford and Laurence Olivier and appeared on stage in London and New York.

Born in Los Angeles, she began acting at 14 and took a lead role in “The Toll of the Sea” three years later, in 1922. She went on to appear in dozens of movies but faced deeply entrenched racism in Hollywood, where she struggled to break from stereotypical roles.

She moved to Europe in the 1920s, but later returned to the US to make hits including “Shanghai Express,” the 1932 adventure-romance movie that gave Wong one of her best-known roles — it starred Dietrich as a notorious courtesan who takes a three-day rail journey through China during the Chinese Civil War and is held hostage on board, with Wong playing a fellow first-class passenger.

Throughout her life, Wong advocated for greater representation of Asian American actors in Hollywood. She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960, the year before she died aged 56.

Close-Up Of Ant’s Face Looks Like Something Out Of A Horror Movie

Posted on by Phil Lam X

The snapshot of an ant’s face, magnified five times under a microscope, was submitted to the 2022 Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition by Lithuanian wildlife photographer Eugenijus Kavaliauskas. The competition celebrates the art of microscope photography, which allows people to capture details the human eye cannot see.

Kavaliauskas’ submission was one of the 57 selected “Images of Distinction.”

Kavaliauskas has won other photography awards for his snapshots of birds of prey, according to his portfolio.

Kavaliauskas told Insider he lives near a forest, which made it easy for him to catch an ant.

“But it’s boring to take a photo of an ant, running banally, on the ground,” Kavaliauskas said. And so he put the ant under a microscope, and took snapshots.

“I’m always looking for details, shadows, and unseen corners. The main goal of photography is to be a discoverer,” Kavaliauskas said. “I am fascinated by the Creator’s masterpieces and the opportunity to see God’s designs.”

In response to questions about what the ant looked like under the microscope, Kavaliauskas said “there are no horrors in nature.”

“When I first started with microphotography, I, too, thought all beetles looked a little like monsters,” he said. “But now, I’ve gotten used to it, and am surprised that there are so many interesting, beautiful, and unknown miracles under our feet.”

While striking, the image did not clinch the contest’s top prize. For his photo of the ant, Kavaliauskas won one Nikon item with a retail value of $35.

Apple’s Tim Cook Shares The Four Traits He Seeks From Potential Employees

Posted on by Phil Lam X

Tim Cook has revealed the rubric that the company goes by when considering its most promising job candidates. In end-September, the Apple CEO visited the University of Naples Federico II in Italy, where he was awarded an honorary Master’s Degree in Innovation and International Management.

During his speech, Cook opened up to students hoping to carve out meaningful careers, especially at Apple.

Cook pointed out that Apple employees have a shared goal of changing the world and enriching lives, and this nudges them to create their best work. “I’ve seen it happen again and again, and the results are just unbelievable,” he declared, as quoted by Fortune.

With that, he also divulged the four qualities all Apple hopefuls should possess. The company has found that relying on this formula delivers the best results. Here are its most-desired traits, according to Cook.

Collaboration — As clichéd as it sounds, teamwork makes the dream work at Apple. Cook acknowledged that while the company recruits amazing talents who excel individually, when their ideas converge with others, those ideas become bigger and better.

Creativity — Apple values people who aren’t caught up by how a problem has always been perceived. The ones who “walk around” it and find new angles are those who help build greater value.

Curiosity — Cook shut down the notion that there’s such a thing as a dumb question. Instead, he encouraged his audience to ask questions like a child. It is in those moments of unbridled curiosity that forces a person to think deeply about their answers.

Expertise — The most technical attribute Apple looks at is expertise, which is exactly as it sounds. Apple employees will need to be educated or have solid work experience in the fields of the roles they are applying for.

Cook added that having the right mindset is also crucial. Apple employees will have to work “for a reason bigger than themselves,” like the idea of how they can significantly enrich the lives of others. “With a purpose like that, it’s amazing what people will do from a work point of view,” he noted.

Velma Is Officially A Lesbian In New Scooby-Doo Film, Years After James Gunn And More Tried To Make Her Explicitly Gay

Posted on by Phil Lam X

Velma is officially a lesbian.

Clips from the brand new movie “Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!,” which show the Mystery Inc. member googly-eyed and speechless when encountering costume designer Coco Diablo, have gone viral on Twitter, confirming suspicions held by the “Scooby” fan base for decades.

“OMG LESBIAN VELMA FINALLY,” reads one tweet, which has over 100,000 likes.

It’s long been an open secret among fans and “Scooby-Doo” creatives that Velma is gay. Even James Gunn, who wrote the early live-action films, and Tony Cervone, who served as supervising producer on the “Mystery Incorporated” series, have confirmed the character’s sexuality, but they were never able to make it official onscreen.

In 2020, Gunn tweeted that he “tried” to make Velma a lesbian in the live-action movies. “In 2001 Velma was explicitly gay in my initial script,” he wrote. “But the studio just kept watering it down & watering it down, becoming ambiguous (the version shot), then nothing (the released version) & finally having a boyfriend (the sequel).”
