I’d rather hang out with someone who keeps accidentally calling me slurs but treats me like a person, than someone who actively polices every word anyone says and acts like belonging to a marginalised group is my only redeeming quality as a person.

This is because you have watered down the concept of a slur. I would never accept a man calling me bitch or a white person calling me a spic or beaner. Your idea of a “slur” is not dehumanizing. Somehow a person can treat you like a person while still using this slur you have in mind and I can’t think of a single sex, sexuality or race based slur that does as such.

[tour guide voice] and if you look above, you will see a post made by the second type of person, in their natural habitat, engaging in their natural behaviour: insisting that another person must be lying or wrong about what he would personally prefer, on the grounds of not comprehending that I am a different person than they are. It is entirely possible that people who are not you have thoughts and opinions that are not the same as yours.

??? I don’t think you’re lying , I think you’re white and straight, lmfao.

I don’t know a single brown person that wants to be called a racial epithet, I don’t know a single gay person that wants to be called a sexual epithet.

You can have your opinion, it’s actually really funny that you can’t fathom someone saying your experience is very privileged and you think I’m denying it.

No baby, you sound like you don’t have real problems.

i mean i wouldnt mind being called a faggot in 99% of the contexts - my friends call me that often, thats chill with me - and im gay, so honestly, maybe its bc in spain slurs are normalized asf but what you’re saying sounds like a privileged USA problem, if someone treats me like a human being i dont care that to get my attention they say “faggot” “tranny” etc instead of my name

I cannot state this clearly enough:

Your experience is not universal.

Hey maybe neither the fuck is yours

I’m here/ I’m home

One thing I didn’t expect today was to find out one of my favourite Tumblr artists was also Hungarian lol (seriously I had to double check that random Orbán picture suddenly I was NOT expecting that)

Anywaysss, it might not sound like much but I love this comic. As a fellow Hungarian it’s rare to see someone mention the absolute shitshow happening here, so thank you so much for this. It’s so good to see that there is still hope for us and there are still people who believe that we deserve better.

Sorry for rambling, I just couldn’t leave this without saying something. Like seriously this might sound silly, but this did make me happy lol

Actress performs a scene from Journey to the West “Three Times Striking the White-Bone Demon” in Wu Opera (Wuju), a traditional Chinese local opera originating from Jinhua, Zhejiang Province. Its name comes from the ancient name of Jinhua “Wuzhou” (婺州).

The exact technique behind the “mask switching” is still kept secret. It’s one of the most closely guarded mysteries in Chinese performing arts. Performers are trained in person - the secrets are passed down orally from master to student, and only to trusted individuals, often within the same family.
The design of the costume and masks plays a key role: the masks may be attached with strings, springs, or hidden mechanisms, but the audience must never see how it’s done. Speed and coordination are absolutely crucial to make the change appear magical - a flick of the sleeve, a turn of the head, and a new face appears. In China, this technique is officially recognized as a part of cultural heritage, and revealing its secrets can lead to serious consequences.
There have even been cases where performers were harshly punished for demonstrating the technique abroad without permission (source)

Fuck Around & Find Out

LMAO THATS ME!!! hehehe

ty for linking the instagram video i forgot i made this

#WRITING FANCY IS THAT EASY????#I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE HOURS OF CAREFUL PRECISION#YOU JUST WRITE IT WITH A FOUNTAIN PEN

i mean. i mean for one i use dip pens, so the ink doesn’t come from within the pen

and for two it took me around ten years to be able to make it look easy?

I think it’s hilarious when people ask me how long it took to make something. Depends, do you count how long I spent practicing? I spent 4 days drawing flowers in the margins of my notes before willing to even attempt something in my sketchbook with the nice pens. You’re seeing the 5th attempt after I moved from sketchbook paper to glass and this version is basically the first I was somewhat happy with. I’m probably going to redo it again at some point. (Low-key though, I painted something years ago that I wanna retry now. I’m just not sure if I wanna paint over it or save both versions. I also didn’t have time for third attempts for a painting I made for my friend’s birthday after my first attempt didn’t turn out. I decided to skip being fancy and just did something more flat then I wanted. I have a stack of unfinished paintings because my sister stopped painting after highschool).

We went to the Pablo Picasso museum in Barcelona. Most of the works displayed were early in his career because that’s when he lived in Barcelona. Or, they were the unfinished pieces he did prior to the complete works someone bought or ended up in the Paris or other museum exhibits dedicated to him. There were rooms and walls devoted to practice. He did hundreds of versions before delivering a finished peice. These aren’t famous because nobody posts their practice prices.

However, Claude Monet has a number next to a ton of his paintings because he’d paint the same bridge so many times from so many angles. It would take hundreds of sunrises to capture the fog in a way that finally satisfied his desire to document a moment in time. And unlike a lot of artists, he thrived on showing all the practice. His first exhibit was a series of paintings of haystacks from different angles at different times of the day. “Oh I could paint that! There’s so little detail!” Oh but Debra, you have no idea the amount of work that went into perfecting the composition and the angle of a line prior to deciding that this version would be the one delivered to the client as the finished peice. Nobody talks about the practice. How many Mona Lisa’s were painted over because her smile didn’t end up just right?

If you see someone willing to videotape the process and posting it, be aware that they are probably an expert that is now intimately aware with how much space the word Fuck takes up on a page. I wonder how many times they’ve written the word Orgasm to perfect the O. This is a flex. Someone flaunting how elegantly they write. They wanted to show off and be an aspiration to new enthusiasts still struggling to fit all the words on the page even with copious measuring and math. Praise an expert for making things look easy.

first of all - thank you i feel so fucking seen and appreciated for the insane years of grinding XP right now. I got nearly ten years under my belt and I barely feel like I’ve graduated from apprentice. Just to cap off your addition I just wanted to show that I keep everything within this folder and uh

if we just open up these folders we can seen that over the last nine or so years there have been over 15,000 pieces, short and long, written down in practice and for commission:

Most people are NOT out there with insane talent, I find. Most artists just have the same amount of fuckass backlog practice runs, if not more, than I do.

secondly I just wanted to peel back the curtain for a hot second:

if you ever see me writing on camera know that my precision drops at least 20% - if you drew a straight line superimposed on the bottom of the x-height of those words you could literally SEE how wobbly I am when I’m trying to keep all of my shit in frame AND write fast enough so that the footage fits comfortably within the sound I’ve selected. I film with my phone balanced awkwardly on an aliexpress phone stand that my mom bought me (she’s a chinese senior, she’s going to be addicted to the internet’s dollarstore i fear).

But just like 99% of the people looking at this post, the only person that NOTICES your imperfections are going to be you. Do NOT LET THAT it doesnt look good enough VOICE STOP YOU FROM POSTING THE FUCKIHGN THING JUST KEEP MAKING THINGS!!!!!!

Just saw a video analysis about if the Scooby gang could beat Light Yagami. I wasn’t worried about the gang but I didn’t realize how cooked Light was. Velma alone is way smarter than L, Freddy would instantly see through the trapped drawer that hid the Death Note and Scooby is such a wildcard overall, who is immune to the Death Note because he isn’t human. So even if he gets the rest of the gang, Scooby is coming with a vengeance.

Funniest scenario is Shaggy and Scooby trailing Light only to be confronted by him. Light tries to kill Shaggy but can’t because he would never just give away his name as “Norville Rogers.” Light thinks Shaggy is some genius playing fourth-dimensional chess with him.

got stuck on the toilet earlier and my inner monologue started coming in cookie monster’s voice for some reason

#man cookie monster you’re fighting bc the lid is closed!

me pretending there was artistic intent behind me bad drawing

ok so responses to this post have mostly been in one of three camps:

1. “i always think this too”
2. “no cookie!! the lid is down!!!” (incorrect, see above)
3. “reblogging from the toilet” in solidarity with cookie monster

but there is one response that i found, well, extremely jarring:

these tags from @wingstothesun put an image into my head that i now inflict upon them and the rest of you:

like, okay, consent does literally just mean agree. which is what enables this little rhetorical trick. because there’s all this cultural emphasis on sexual consent, which is just expressed as consent, a lot of phrases whose intended meanings are “rape is bad” can be taken literally to mean “i should get to agree to everything that happens in my vicinity.”

for an example, “i didn’t agree to seeing you wear that shirt” is straightforwardly a fucking insane thing for someone to say, but people regularly make use of this trick to make the (functionally identical) statement “i didn’t consent to seeing that”

Strongly recommend that people familiarize themselves with the white supremacist concept of “right to comfort” because of how scarily that concept aligns with this behavior

THIS is where the logic comes from that drives misogynistic control of what women wear, how fat people exist in public, how disabled people exist in public, miscontrues kink-related fashion as the same as sex itself, and prevents people breastfeeding their children in clean environments.

Its interesting what demographics are effected most negatively by this huh

One of the funniest things about Mormonism is that I’m sure Joseph Smith never believed any of the bullshit he said. There are some religions and cults where you have faith the original prophet actually thought they were talking to angels or believed the set of principles they laid out for their followers were for the greater good. Joseph Smith was a dumbass but like PT Barnum he realized a sucker was born every day and he was one step above the average 1830s sucker. He went from making people pay him to look at a rock in a top hat and ‘locate buried treasure’ to receiving lost bits of scripture, through the rock and top hat method. His wife caught him cheating and he said an angel visited him and told him men should be allowed multiple wives and not obeying that would send her to hell. I’m fairly convinced that dude was an atheist. He was on that hustler grindset. Brigham Young might have actually believed some of the shit he said but I don’t think Joseph Smith genuinely had faith in Mormonism or gave a fuck about humanity in the slightest.

I mean, success is a relative term. He was shot to death by an angry mob at the age of 38 while running for US president, after inciting a riot by ordering a printing press to be destroyed because the ex-Mormon newspaper was saying true things about him. He was arrested for starting the riot, freed, tried to declare martial law and call out his own personal militia before fleeing. It was only when he was apprehended and brought back to Carthage that the people of Illinois resorted to mob justice. Truly Trump-esque behavior but that guy has gotten away with it for 79 years.

Also, I think it’s so funny that his Wikipedia lists him as the first U.S. presidential candidate to be assassinated kind of implying he was assassinated for presidential politic reasons and not because he was a career criminal who had been terrorizing Illinois for 5 years straight.

a minor headcanon that I will die defending is that reigen initially assumed that mob’s supposed “psychic powers” were just how he rationalized his autism to himself. like here’s an obviously autistic kid, one reigen clocks immediately because he’s, well, reigen, and he’s talking about extra sensory perception and having powers he can’t control, powers that are scary. obviously, he assumes, this is something the kid picked up from his parents, a way for him to rationalize his alienation from other children— that no, you’re not “different”, you’re special (not even going into the parents who think their autistic children are like, aliens) and the other kids can see that you’re special and so they treat you like you’re weird and creepy and they don’t invite you to play and they whisper behind your back but it’s fine, because one day they’ll see how special you really are. and adult autistic reigen arataka, who was also probably-definitely bullied as a child, decides to nip that thought in the bud and gives the whole spiel, that no, “psychic powers” (autism) don’t make you special, and yes, they do make you different, and that’s fine because everyone’s different, and at the end of the day you have agency and you get to decide the kind of person you’ll be, so choose to be a kind one, and he sees this kid hanging off his every word as he tells him the kind of stuff he wishes someone had told him when he was so little and alone, and he mentally pats himself on the back and hypes himself up for another cigarette.

and then the kid makes a teacup float in front of him and he’s like oh. damn. can you kill ghosts
