the amount of rage i just felt seeing boxers briefs in the men’s section with a POCKET. meanwhile I’ve had to deal with being pocketless & sometimes FAKE pocketed??
me: struggling to find cute panties that actually cover an entire pussy*
ok so, for the last few hours i’ve been making this code that organizes the colors in drawings:
(mostly @metukika’s bc her works look really dope and i don’t have many like that ;_;)
and these things feel like something that would be sold as a “deconstruction of classical paintings” like the “the kiss” by Klimt, “starry night” by Van Gogh or “Girl with a pearl earing” by vermeer
i can imagine going to an art gallery and finding stuff like this, made by someone who thinks they are so so smart
Ok but this is actually phenomenally cool OP, and a terrific tool for explaining some of the weirder aspects of color theory, especially how to translate color from traditional media to digital.
I’m working on the teaching plan for a digital painting class I’m going to pitch to my illustration school, and I was wondering if you had something I could use to show this concept to the class? (In exchange for full credit and money of course)
In this house we only loosely acknowledge current MCU canon. In my mind it’s still around 2014-15. Winter Soldier just came out. We have such high hopes for the in-depth character arcs of our main babes, not to be turned into cash cows milked dry of any soul. The Avengers still all have their own floors in the tower and Bucky is coming to live in as Steeb’s emo plus-one.
The 1812 version of Snow White is even worse when you consider that the girl was only seven years old in the tale (plus her unconscious body ended up being carted around by the prince until one of his servants accidentally woke her up). Also, in The Little Mermaid, the mermaid’s unable to speak because she had her tongue cut out >__<
But I’d love to see faithful adaptations of the original tales. Especially Bluebeard. We need a Bluebeard adaptation.
Actually, the original-original pre-Grimm Brothers’ stories that were passed around Europe via oral tradition are nowhere near as violent as the Grimm’s made them. Cinderella’s stepsisters were never ugly and kept their eyes, Snow White’s mother was not even a villain (instead a group of bandits were), and instead of spending the whole story napping Sleeping Beauty outwitted a dangerous bandit leader, wouldn’t let him sleep with her, and saved herself.
The original oral stories were radically changed by the Brothers Grimm to fit their personal and political beliefs. Most notably, they often added in female characters solely for the purpose of making them evil villains and took away most of the heroines’ agency and intelligence. Both brothers belonged to a small fanatical sect of Catholicism that vilified women because of the idea of Original Sin and Wilhelm in particular had a particularly deep hatred of women. The Grimms were actually pretty horrible people. Those cannibalistic queens and ugly stepsisters and the mass amount of violence against women didn’t exist until the Grimms wanted them to. Their ideas stuck so soundly though that we now assume they were in the original tales and that these terrible characters and ideas come out of some perceived barbaric Old World culture. But in truth they’re really the Grimms’ weird obsession with hating women showing through. The original oral folklore focused on the heroes’ and heroines’ good deeds and used them as ways to teach cultural norms and a society’s rules and encouraged girls to be quick-witted and street-savvy instead of passive princesses, and the Grimms promptly stripped that all away.
“Grimms Bad Girls and Bold Boys” by Ruth Bottingheimer is an excellent book on this
We had to read The Book of Lost Things for school and it’s Grimm level crazy
Not only that, you’re skipping out a really important thing: the brother’s grimm got those tales from WOMEN, women were the ones who would tell these tales orally and the brother’s grimm took them, altered them to be sexist and never gave the women credit. You can read Clever Maids the Secret History The Grimm Fairytales for more info
Now see, this really pisses me off (the “kids are resilient” thing, not your response to it) because there has been study after study about what actually happens!!!
If the kid receives support during/after the traumatic event, they get stronger.
If the kid does not receive support during/after the traumatic event, they get fucked up.
True resilience in kids has ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS been the result of the support they receive.
will riker is like. the opposite of a queercoded/baiting character. he’s hetcoded. but both jonathan frakes and all of us know he’s bi af and the show just purposefully only shows the ‘het’ encounters
I love that some people think there’s any question over whether Will Riker would fuck a guy. Will Riker would fuck an intelligent gas cloud if they laughed at his jokes there is no way details as minor as human genitals are putting that man off.
Obviously at one point in time all their faces were being plastered across the galaxy for assorted bounties, but I like to think that as time goes on post-RotJ, Leia goes and becomes the extremely recognizable President of the New Republic, Luke becomes the still fairly-recognizable Grand Master of the Jedi Order (even if it’s mostly because of the robes/lightsaber), and Han becomes the galactic equivalent of Tony Hawk, who is still extremely famous but absolutely no one realizes it because his Just Some Guy energy is off the charts.
He’ll be out in public and something will prompt him to make an offhand comment about having been in the Rebel Alliance and people will be like “Oh, you were in the Rebellion? That’s so cool. Did you ever know anyone important? Like President Organa-Solo?” and he’ll wearily snap “THAT’S MY WIFE!!”
At least one assassination attempt on Leia’s life has been thwarted because the person planning on slipping something in her drink at an important function started chatting with him as cover not realizing who they were talking to and he sensed something was fishy before they could slip away.
One day he goes to the Jedi Temple to pick up his kids from a training thing and a new-ish Jedi recruit who’s a little too overzealous about security calls Luke in to make sure he’s the right guy, and when Luke shakes his head and, holding back laughter, very seriously says “No, I’ve never seen that man in my life” Han just looks him dead in the eye and replies “We were alone on Hoth, kid. I should’ve killed you when I had the chance.”
Well, of course. Han’s particular curse demands he be recognized or not recognized based on what would cause him the maximum inconvenience and irritation.
Incredibly low-stakes question: is there a difference between a registered vet tech and a licensed vet tech? I’ve seen you use both in posts and I don’t know if it’s conveying a different role or if they’re just synonyms.
There are many names for what I am, depending on state or even country. I am officially a Registered Veterinary Technician. This means I have a license that I had to take a state and national board to be able to get, and I have to maintain the license, so I do sometimes say I am a Licensed Technician. Some places use this phrasing primarily. Others used certified. So you might see LVT or CVT. In other countries I might be called a veterinary nurse. We don’t get to call ourselves veterinary nurses in the states because the RNs are cranky about it. Something something “co-opting to gain respect” something. But I do have the same training as an RN, just for animals instead of people, and with some additional scope since we vet techs need to fill *every* role.
Follow up question regarding those tags, what incident had 5 RNs not knowing an IV catheter can clot?
Appendicitis sucks. And while I was there for that prior to surgery they had opened a liter bag of saline on me, but didn’t monitor for when it finished so blood back-flowed up the t-port. I requested a hep flush so that the catheter wouldn’t clot and potentially need replacing, because I’m needle phobic. So I was told IV catheters don’t clot. Thus I asked a different nurse. Same thing. And another, same thing. And another… same thing.
RN number 5 … same thing so I yelled at him about how I got all the same fucking training he did and I work with IV catheters every fucking day and they fucking do too clot and how incompetent was his schooling if he didn’t know that…. so he got some heparinized saline and went to flush the catheter to prove me wrong, said “oh, hunh, it DID clot!” … and then proceeded to force flush the t-port worth of clot into my arm. So I got to just sit there wondering if that was how I was going to die.
the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ has only been actually typed once by a single person, everyone else who has ever used it has just googled “shrug emoji” and copy-pasted it
why repaint the mona lisa
As someone who has painstakingly typed it out because I forgot there were other options, I can guarantee my forgery was not up to the quality of the original.
did you install a katakana keyboard just to type it or did you have to Google “katakana alphabet” or something and copypaste from that
Pretty sure I just did a vaguely cursed bootleg thing like this:

that’s a guy who has lost control of his life. there is no more cheerful nihilism in his smile, no more mischief in his eyes. that’s an emoticon with clinical depression
So this is a visual representation of “are the new users you’re changing the entire app and website layout/features for in the room with us right now”.
a chick with lots of stuff i should be doing yet i some how manage to end up on tumblr anyway.
