JVC Northwest Recommends Below are things being discussed in the JVC Northwest community. Do you have a blog, book, movie, podcast, song, poem, article, etc. you want to share? Email Anthony. In honor of Pride Month JVC Northwest offers Meredith Talusan's This is What Gender-Nonbinary People Look Like. Through photographs and short interviews with artists, producers, educators and more, Talusan explores pronouns, identity, and self expression to answer the question, "What does it mean to be a nonbinary person today?" Where did the word "wife beater" come from, and how did it become an acceptable term for an undershirt? Moises Velasquez-Manoff's recent opinion piece, Are We Really Still Calling This Shirt a 'Wife Beater'? describes how the history of Italian-Americans, the social construction of race, and the vilification of the working class created this graphically violent term.
