Vanessa Beecroft, Kanye West’s visual art collaborator: “If I don’t call myself white, maybe I am not.” (Back in March, she told W that she believed her work with West entitled her to identify as black.)

Megan Short, a victim of domestic abuse, posted on Facebook that she needed help moving out the same day she was shot, alongside her three children and the family’s dog.
