two birds on a wire
Damselfrau
Self-taught artist Magnhild Kennedy who works as âDamselfrauâ, uses found and vintage materials to create elaborate masks. Mesh netting, sequined appliques, ribbons, beads, and pompoms come together in Kennedyâs wearable artworks, which she documents and shares on Instagram. Leaving space for her eyes, the artist otherwise completely obscures her face and poses against a blank background with patterned fabric draped around her shoulders. The artist declines to attach specific meaning or intention to each creation, instead leaving the interpretive experience up to the viewer. [Colossal]

Moths and butterflies tend to incorporate armor-like elements into their outfits even if they are not connected to the army, though these elements are significantly lighter and more ornate than their functional counterparts. Sometimes this decorative armor is made of porcelain.

Rebellious girls in the 1920s wanted to anger and shock their Victorian-era parents, so not only would they bare their knees with short dresses, but they would also paint pictures to make sure an onlooker didnât miss their risque hem length. Rolled stockings became a fad with the shorter hemlines, and girls would go get roses, butterflies, ocean scenes, or their dogsâ faces painted on their knees to further push their boundaries. Much like with most makeup in womenâs history, this wasnât just an act of creativity, but an assertion of independence. After World War I, more women gained financial independence with work, broke away from chaperoned parlor dates, and became a part of the public by walking the city streets without a guardian. The new generation felt a need to express this clear break from the old era of Gibson Girls and Victorian women, and they did so with the help of paint and knee rouge. âBecause of rolled stockings and short skirts they, like their fair owners, are emancipated,â The San Francisco Examinershared in 1925. The girls were no longer wearing the oppressive corsets of the previous generation, which is partly why rolled stockings became a fad â there was nowhere to clip their hosiery to.
Painted knees were also an experiment in owning sexuality. Rouged knees would seem flushed (hinting at sex,) and painted knees would bring attention to body parts that were stigmatized just a few short decades back. But these moments of self-rule were oftentimes punished, as students in Ohio Northern learned in 1925. Girls had been drawing roses on their knees, and the dean called an emergency meeting to get them to stop. âIt was intimated that some of the professors had not been able to do their best work owing to the profusion of knees in certain classes, that it is difficult for a mere male instructor to think of the Einstein theory, for example, with a tastefully decorated knee â well, staring him in the face, as it were,â The San Francisco Examiner wrote. The fad eventually fell out of vogue, but it resurfaced again in the 1960s â during an era where skirts rose in hemline, women pushed for independence, and embraced their sexual freedom once more. Painted knees were the perfect compliment to mini-skirts and Bermuda shorts, and a student interviewed for The News in 1966 said that she painted her knees so often that she could âput it on faster than face makeup.â (source)
I didnât quite know what Velma meant when she sang âIâm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings downâ but now I do and Iâm happy
âListen, no one signed up for this lullaby. No bleeped sheep or rosebuds or twitching stars will diminish the fear or save you from waking into the same day you dreamed of leavingâ mockingbird on back order, morning bells stuck on snoozeâso you might as well get up and at it, pestilence be damned. Peril and risk having become relative, Iâll try to couch this in positive terms: Never! is the word of last resorts, Always! the fanaticâs rallying cry. To those inclined toward kindness, I say Come out of your houses drumming. All others, beware: I have discarded my smile but not my teeth.â

lets make a videogame how hard can it be
nevermind you have to know shit about computers
hey!! sorry to hijack this post, but there are a bunch of ways you can make videogames without knowing shit about computers!!Â
for starters, thereâs Twine, which is fucking great for making all kinds of interactive experiences (itâs what Crystal Warrior Ke$ha was made in so you KNOW itâs good) at all skill levels (i picked it up and made a game in two minutes a few nights ago)
if you want a bit more involved experience thereâs Inform 7Â which is a simple language for text-based adventure games that reads like slightly-weird English and also relatively easy to learn
you can do some pretty fucking cool stuff with Unity (my personal engine of choice) but you may need to dig a bit farther to get at the good stuff. thereâs lots of really good presets though (i made an entire game just mixing and matching pre-existing templates and adding in my own art, won an award at a game jam for that one) and if you want help the communityâs pretty dang friendly from what iâve seen!
this is just a taste of whatâs out there from what iâve seen, but thereâs so many cool resources out there. if anyone wants help getting started, iâm around to give you a leg up on making something in the coolest, most unexplored art medium around!
Iâm addinâ to this post because lowering the barrier to entry for making games is super important to me!!!! If yâall have any questions about making games, youâre welcome to come and ask! I made this list a while back with some friends, so it has some of the programs John already mentioned.

@slimetony how does it feel to have your shitpost be turned into a helpful resource
It feels like a betrayal of every tenant of humor I subscribe to. Helping people is an alien concept to me. It makes me upset.
