So, I had this idea back in September that I would embark on a 12 month project in 2025.

Basically, I am going to be taking inspiration from 12 different female artists and making a final piece inspired by them

And I’ve made a blog to document my process!

I never thought Weekend At Bernie's could be a warning about a future president but I am calling it now, when Trump dies they are going to El Cid that man's corpse for at least 2 days (but up to a week) before finally admitting he's dead.

I don't talk about it on this account, but I am studying Japanese & Russian, & am dabbling in Mandarin, & if you're a language learning nerd like me, no matter what language you're learning, Bront'e is a MUST follow! Her advice & resources are incredible, please go check out her work + support her!
If you struggle to see progress in your language studies, chances are it's not because you're not studying, it's probably because you're tracking the wrong things.

Let me show you a better way to get fluent in multiple languages without stressing yourself out:

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.

They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.
"Everything straight is actually gay" is my favourite kind of ragebait posts by these morons.

I know artists in general get super weird about numbers more than any other group of people I follow; a lot of them are like "but my following" like that matters, but the only reason to care about numbers is if you can monetize it. otherwise, it literally does not matter. the numbers do not matter.

Thinking about what a miracle Sinners was and how the studio behind it will end up in the hands of either people who think movies should be optimized to watch with the bathroom door open or a guy who wants to make cartoons where Scooby Doo joins the IDF

And here is an unpopular opinion, but maybe if students were shown how to write essays, rather than expected to know, they would be less tempted to use GenAI. For certain faculty & def for uni admin, GenAI solves the problem so to speak bc for them, prompt engineering is the "future."

Facebook lied about video view counts to pump up numbers. I think if people are using instagram, they're not actually getting accurate numbers--similar to how people are not getting actual engagement on twitter.

The numbers are a lie
Here’s another tip: how about we all just ditch Instagram???

It’s crazy how much creatives insist on staying there while simultaneously going oh no one sees my posts, I’m not growing, etc.

Girl stop, it’s not you, it’s the app.

What do I mean by this ... For example: HRT and our other gender-affirming care saves our lives. There's FUCKTONS of support behind this, no matter how you look at it. I say this as a longtime psychiatric journalist, who's extremely cynical about a lot. The data here truly is remarkably clear.
There aren't "two sides" re: trans healthcare.

Our healthcare isn't controversial in any medical sense and anybody who thinks *this* hasn't read the science, full stop.

There's: Should trans people get to live vs. should we not. The bigotry is the *point* of them hounding our healthcare ...
I note how the moral panic type journalism that's so predominant right now — conclusions in search of evidence ('the transes have gone to far') — is often rooted in fear of some future wherein stuff gets worse ...

This fixation on some false future is a way these folks avoid engaging the present.

As a creative, the most annoying people on gods green earth are Idea Guys.

Idea Guys have never put one iota of critical thought into their ideas. Their first one is their best one and they get REAL mad when you suggest maybe their idea isn’t the best for the project.

I recently saw someone refer to “kill your darlings” as meaning to literally kill your characters in the narrative.

It means you have to be willing to let go of your favorite most precious Idea, because sometimes our First Ideas aren’t what’s best for our overall story.

Growing up no one told us just how long 30-85 years is, versus how short 1-29 years is.

Childhood will never be the best part of life, you'll have to re-learn everything in your 20's anyway. Seeing all the thriving 50-80 year olds around me is a reminder that life has only just started for me

I have a longstanding theory that the “classiness” associated with rich people is a vestigial cultural artifact from the aristocracy, and the modern version is mostly people who make like 200-300k a year. Actual rich people are goblins with horrid taste who would live in trash heaps without servants

It's bizarre to list Heartstoppers alongside other shows about "desexed gay men" considering that show is about teenagers
Yep it totally sounds like this show has been "desexed"

With absolutely no expertise in Tarantino and lots of expertise in film bros, my theory has always been that he wasn’t the movie guru of that video store: one of his co-workers was and he has been coasting on regurgitating that guy’s taste for decades but he ran out ten, fifteen years ago.

Advice for all "gamers" out there: go play a video game no one is talking about anymore, something like an old Gameboy Color game lost to time and online discourse. Nurture your personal connection to the medium of games/form opinions unaffected by what other people online say.
