Fashion designer Arkadiusz Weremczuk, better known simply as ‘Arkadius’, was born in southeast Poland and graduated from Central St. Martin’s college in 1999, making his press debut two years later when his work featured in The Face, in a session directed by Isabella Blow. In 2000, Arkadius was awarded the New Generation Award by the British Fashion Council and, the next year was named by The Independent as one of the Ten Leading Fashion Designers in the UK, alongside Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, and Stella McCartney. In 2002, he received the nesta Fellowship award. Arkadius has been worn by a number of famous names, including Björk, Mary J. Blige, Pink and Adrien Brody. He has also created costumes for the Los Angeles Opera and the Polish National Opera.

Arkadius’ most celebrated collections have served as political manifestos promoting pacifism. The designer has drawn a great deal of inspiration from Catholic art and Polish folk culture. His Virgin Mary Wears the Trousers collection (s/s 2014) featured newborn babies as its central motif. The designer explained: “The baby print in the collection signifies the word virginal: innocent, new, young. This is how we are born: completely pure. People are alike, the only major difference being their religion. The environment we grow up in, the society we find ourselves surrounded by, and the religion we belong to moulds us in a certain way. It is a shame that religion is often misinterpreted, alienating people and creating wars and conflicts. Religion to me means freedom and love.” The richly-adorned gold dresses of the Holy Mother, the chalice containing the Host, the ears of grain and the images of Mary featured in the collection are all references to the baroque altars which are typically found in Catholic churches in rural Lubelszczyzna, where Arkadius was born.

mega angsty grahamscott college AU fic❗❗

College was supposed to be a fresh start for Warren. A chance to rebrand his geeky high school self. Hell, maybe he’d even have a shot at being cool this time around. But of course nothing ever goes his way, because he’s Warren fucking Graham.

~ wc: 71k-ish ~ status: ongoing (chapter 11/?) ~ tags: enemies to friends to lovers, slow burn, hurt/comfort, fluff/angst, coming-of-age

helloooooo to all five grahamscott shippers out there!! my super supportive gf (who is also my only beta reader) suggested that i promote my fic on tumblr so here i am;;

enjoy the vandalized driver’s licenses i made for warren & nathan + a lil what’s in my bag college student edition for these two dorks (clearly not hard to guess which belongs to who lol)

For HCY, I’d like to think Queen!Reader starts an educational program of sorts where Charlie learns her ABCs and such with other little Hellborn children, specifically Imps and Hellhounds. The Queen sees the caste system in Hell and of course disapproves, so decides that shifting things into a more balanced, less discriminatory state by having the future leader of Hell in league with so called “lower class” kids is a huge benefit to society in Hell, on top of allowing Charlie to grow up with and make friends with children her own age.

the problem is the vast majority of entry level jobs and internships in arts orgs in canada are funded by young canada works which is a federal gov bursary given to orgs and the jobs have specific requirements for hiring including being a full time student or recent graduate of a university program, be under 30 years old, among other things, and they require you to prove your attendance/graduation. and so a lot of people get their foot in the door by doing young canada works paid internships and contracts and such, but people in my position who couldn't afford to finish their program are completely fucked by that. because whether i lie and say i'm still in school or i lie and say i finished, i can't prove it regardless and thus don't qualify for those jobs. so that takes out like 90% of entry level jobs for me lol

I thought my "struggling to get anything done until its very very late at night, and only for a few hours, after a full day of fatigue and laziness" behavior was a recent thing, in the wake of graduating and being unemployed and out of schooling, but its been at the very least 5 years because I made a comic about this when i was still IN college.

Consider Dick getting stressed and panicked whenever his teammates ignore his orders since Danny, Arella, and Lilith all died after disobeying his orders.

He told Danny and Arella to retreat, they didn't, and then they died. He told Lilith not to get too close to the Superman robot, she got close to it anyway, and then the robot snapped her neck.

"Relax, Nightwing."

Yeah, no, Dick's never going to relax again, thank you very much.

The weirdest thing about going to college for teaching in the united states is the giant CANYON of disconnect between what we're taught and what we actually do in a classroom.

like we're taught how to diversify methods of instruction in order to most equitably reach the diverse populations of our classrooms and inspire them to do their best writing/reading/speaking (im an English teaching major) but then in reality the students in your classroom are insanely below the level they need to be at in order to engage with age-appropriate lessons for them

we're taught how to take common core standards and transform them into meaningful and deep lessons but we're only given 45-90 mins of planning per day (if we're lucky) and the rest needs to be done outside of school or after hours if you can't do it quickly enough, and teachers are always expected to do research outside of the classroom, as well as collaboration, tweaking of lesson plans, etc.

we're told that students crave learning and they crave fun projects and they crave kinesthetic exercises, but then when I try those things in the classroom everyone complains and halfasses their participation, and im lucky if half of them actually pass something in, whether its an assignment, a test, a project, or an assessment.

we're told that we need to have open communication not only between teachers but between teachers and admin and parents, but then im lucky if one of the ten parents I email about their kid failing emails me back, and im luckier if admin takes a behaviorally disturbed student out of my class for insulting me or other students.

like... i guess my point is that teaching education is so idyllic and utopian, and actual classrooms are a goddamn nightmare of behavioral issues, lack of time/resources, exhausting interactions with students who don't want to be there or participate, and insane expectations from students, parents, and admin alike.

Like... no wonder the teaching field is hemorrhaging teachers right now. How can ANYONE work under the insane conditions we're forced to try and teach in. I'm so tired and I'm not even out of school yet. It's actually psychotic.

saw someone being wrong about kon on the internet again (i know. shocking) and you are all so lucky i'm sick and feverish and lazy because i DID just seriously entertain the thought of writing up a small essay complete with issue and panel citations about why it's simply incorrect to say that kon never really seemed to reciprocate any sort of crush on tim before geoff/tt03. this is just not true. you dont have to actually ship them but to downplay their importance to each other even in the earliest days is simply incorrect. i'm too tired and achy to bother digging through comics to pull up all the issues that have the bits i want to point at but like... they were both very mutually important to each other from early on. it was in no way shape or form one-sided, whether you want to read that as platonic or romantic. man.

I have a serious question, if rhysand was written as more of a highly accomplished general in the NC with the inner circle being his merry band of sworn siblings he met in the armies rather than the highest authority of his court, how much of his behavior (SA not included) would be moderately more ...reasonable?
