This is a really poignant illustration of the seductive nature of glorifying war but that is a LOOK and she is SERVING it

this is the wholesome pure content we need more of

when w. h. auden said “evil is unspectacular and always human” and ursula k. leguin said “this is the great treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain”

when toni morrison said “i just think goodness is more interesting. evil is constant. you can think of different ways to murder people, but you can do that at age five. but you have to be an adult to consciously, deliberately be good – and that’s complicated.”

when simone weil said “imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.”

I don’t know shit about art but isn’t this like a great example of art that pushes the boundaries of what art is? Like you’ve got your canvas with paint on it, but your reason for putting the paint there is totally different than why most people put paint on stuff. It’s like a study on texture or something.

Agreed, this is really cool and also I love the fact that you really wanted to touch some paint, so you just went out and bought a bunch of paint and made your own painting for touching purposes. That’s striking me as really really cool right now for reasons I can’t entirely articulate. 

You LITERALLY sat down to watch paint dry…

Museums should have stuff like this on display JUST so you can touch it. With a sign like, “Feel me up! I won’t alarm!”

make good art

Only thing about thick impasto is that the paint can get a bit sharp sometimes. Like, I’ve cut my hand on dried impasto paint because the paint stroke was that pointed. -.-;

sorry this is not relevant at all but ive seen this post many times and EVERY SINGLE TIME “ stop sending me asks about my supposedly gorilla sized hands, you bastards, you rotten bastards scared of the hands your minds gave me” makes me spiral ive never laughed so hard thank you

Recently got DEEPLY obsessed with this YT channel called “Solo Travel Japan” which is just a dude like taking ferries and trains in Japan and documenting them. There’s no dialogue, no facecam, it’s just basically ASMR but on a ferry.

Like YES BITCH show me the vending machine room! Show me the dock workers waving goodbye to the ferry. SHOW ME THE BUFFET THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THE PRICE IN USD!

Happy Halloween the 1st!

and actually depending on dialect it could also be neer nee neev na nee no neenee

I….excuse me???

This is a documentary

a masterpiece

I think everyone should have a bastard they’re emotionally attached to. no fixing, just you watching your fav go absolutely off the rails and enjoying every second of it.

moms b like "your emotional pain causes ME emotional pain and that is what we will be focusing on today"

moms also b like "my mom traumatized me more than i traumatized u so clearly u should be thanking me"

Old dude came in the shop and when I said "lemme know if you have any questions" he goes "what was the name of Alexander the Great's horse," thinking he was so funny. I told him Bucephalus, and he was so disappointed. Like his whole day was hanging on beating me at trivia. He says "you're only the second person who knew that" and I said "well, probably the third if you count Alexander the Great." He left without buying anything, and did not say goodbye. I think I honestly hurt his weird little feelings! Sorry I'm a bitch, old man!

ever since the industrial revolution eradicated rickety bridges, displaced trolls have been forced to mingle with human society, seeking stimulation by asking customer service workers questions they'd normally ask those seeking to traverse their territory
