it’s bisexual awareness week? good. I am bisexual. I am Aware

where is that renaissance painting with those two fellers and a giant fucking random skull on the floor that looks like it was accidentally stretched out in photoshop

somebody please explain

Someone once told me it’s like that because it was designed to be hung in a stairwell so the skull pops out as you walk past.

…I guess it works but you have to be at a pretty sharp angle

There was a whole trend at one point where artists would include something in their paintings (usually a skull, for whatever reason) that’s super distorted in just the right way so that it looks normal if you hold the painting up to a convex/concave mirror. I have absolutely no idea why. But I think that’s what’s going on here.

as an art historian, i think this is the best post on tumblr

me walking into the animal shelter: hi id like the stupidest cat you have

sometimes my cat won’t eat her dinner so i thought i was tricking her into eating by putting a few treats on it but she’s actually tricked me into feeding her treats and i want a stupider cat

you look into this animals eyes and you can tell absolutely nothing is going on in there i am so happy for you

“She hints at approaching Magdalene as an icon of transformation and female strength, the legacy of a devoted woman unwittingly cast as a “whore” by the sin-obsessed Western world. Her “truth” is convoluted and muddled. While the more recent view of Magdalene may be unsympathetic, she was once a character who was loved and provided hope for being freed from sin, much like Christ. The act of blurring and taking advantage of visually iconic moments in religion allows for twigs to connect Magdalene — and herself — to the hopeful narrative of redemption, both spiritual and physical.”
