"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

some completed & in progress projects… 100% hand-stitched linen shift, self-drafted stays 1.0 (2.0 in the works), some side hoops/panniers, yet another silk petticoat that still needs hemming, and the first muslin mockup for THE JP Ryan swallowtail jacket (sans sleeves still)

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

this is because Dolly Parton is the equal or better of most strung- instrument players you can name, a fact often obscured by the vocabulary of iconography sometimes used to discuss her work. thanks for coming to my presentation this’ll take about half a hour

I was having a very tough morning due to a constant noise level (tree work being done next door), my husband put his noise-cancelling over-ear headphones on me & I near instantly burst into tears of relief. Relaxed for the first time in days.

Can’t believe I didn’t know I’m autistic til my 30s lmao

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo

Great question!

It’s not just about whether or not the gyre is widening – its that the falcon cannot hear the Falconer. In today’s blood-dimmed world, it’s a game-changer that many don’t consider.

The kicker? A beast that is rough, slouching, and born.

You can't really respond intelligently and panic at the same time. So my advice is understand this is a war and try to at most panic in shifts.

The technofascists have also successfully made everyone doubt everything they are seeing with their own eyes. Is this AI? How can I tell? This has to be AI, right???? Completely destroying our chance at a shared reality.

There's this episode of Star Trek where Captain Picard is captured and tortured, and the main way that the torturer tries to break him is by showing him four lights, and telling him that there are five.

There are four lights.

This is not a post about Star Trek.

I did this exactly one time thinking it’d be cute, stepped back and looked at it, and said “wow this fucking sucks”

immediately put them all back to the CORRECT organization (by subject/vibes, then by height)
Organizing books by colour is pervert shit.
