Btw, this is how conservatives keep getting to claim that trans people are a new thing no one has ever heard, because our history and existences have continually been erased or obscured systematically through out history.

The most famous example was 92 years when the Nazis raided the library of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, the medical practice where the term transsexual was first coined and the first gender affirming surgery was performed in in 1931.

What did the Nazis do after raiding the library on May 6th, 1933? You may be familiar with these images

It is happening again.

Many movie reviews will say "this is low budget shlock" like it's a bad thing but I Love low budget shlock. The worst thing a movie can be isn't Cheap it's Uninteresting. It's Soulless. Billion dollar mcu bullshit isn't good just because it's expensive to make. Budget constraints aren't the movie's fault. We don't live in a world where people are paid for being good. Open your heart

The worst thing about piece of children media becoming popular among adults is the fact that adults fucking hate that they are not the part of the audience.

They start to write stupid ass meta how all adults in said piece of media are bad because they allowed children to be in a dangerous situation.

They want big rational worldbuilding.

They want adult characters to have their own sideplots with their own adult problems.

Dudes, there are zero children who after reading a book about their peers saving the world said: "Meh, I wish adults in this book prevented children from going to this dangerous adventure, I would rather read how economics in this world works and also about this adult character's divorce".

Yo, correct me if I am wrong please, but didn't Hitler rise to power because he promised to fix the German economy and people really liked that so they looked past everything else he was doing??? Like exactly what's happening in America right now???

So many people said they voted for Trump, put a truly evil person in power, because he said he'd fix the economy, and a little voice in my head is going, "Isn't that what happened with fucking Hitler??"

But I've seen no one point that out so maybe I'm miss remembering???????

I love this free cross stitch pattern by Abby M. According to her, donations are welcome but not expected or required!

I saw the pattern itself on a cross stitch facebook group I'm in and I'm a little disappointed I have too many big projects lined up to stitch it, but it's so delightful!

sometimes you see discourse ™ so mindbogglingly dumb you just have to be like, that’s the kids talking. that’s the same as when two toddlers are having an intense conversation and it’s totally detached from reality but they’re very serious about it. that’s not for me that’s for the kids

There's no such thing as too many colour wheels. Blackwork embroidery on black 14-count Aida cloth. This is another big one, just over 43 cm (17") across.

Pattern here (my site) or here (Etsy)

The tragedy of my life is that I keep acquiring and displaying fetish art and having to be corrected by my friends.

Most recently, a friend came over my house and saw my computer background and went, "Wow, um, I didn't know you were into that." To which I look at the picture of the well drawn muscular female minotaur in historically accurate Greek clothing and I start geeking out about how I love the detail the artist did with the clothing and I point out the period appropriate folds and pins, how the artist even inserted the native plant that was used to dye the clothing this particular shade in the background, and even how the belt has technology AND historically accurate weaving patterns on it.

Then I start explaining how I love the muscular choices of the minotaur, that I was so impressed with the artist's anatomically correct depiction of the muscles converging into the neck. That many people get an upright cow's neck wrong because cow's don't have collarbones, so it can be very difficult to merge the upper arms and a chest of a human with a cow's body. I draw her attention to the beautiful way they've merged the pectoralis major so smoothly while also staying true to how muscular they've depicted the rest of the body.

I finish up with my thoughts on the artist's bold choice to depict the minotaur as a female, and despite the underlying themes of a minotaur being violence, child murder, strength, and muscles. I segue into how unlike bulls, cow are perceived as mothers. That they are the major source of milk in human culture, and that idyllic depictions of them in a field usually depict calves frolicking nearby, yet the minotaur kills and eats children.

I finish and there is a long pause.

"Urban, this is fetish art." and she takes me to the artist's twitter and god dammit it's fetish art, not a bold statement on cultural perceptions of women and violence throughout history. I have been tricked again.

It’s easy to forget JRR Tolkien was a fairly prolific academic translator with an interest in early medieval literature and philology. It’s so inspiring that he found time to write The Hobbit while fighting for his life over Beowulf.

“i also choose this guy’s dead wife” was easily the #1 funniest thing to ever be written on the internet.

the david zwirner gallery and the felix gonzalez torres foundation in the smithsonian removed the descriptive plaque for portrait of ross in la by felix gonzalez-torres. the old plaque explained portrait for ross' origins as the artist's partner's aids related death, and replaced it with a plaque with absolutely no information about the piece itself, who ross was, or who gonzalez-torres was either. portrait of ross was also reeranged to lay on the floor long ways instead of in a pile as it typically is situated, and the plaque outside the exhibition FOR GONZALEZ-TORRES omits his sexuality, as well as his aids related death. i'm in utter disbelief
