Selected Works from Henry Scott Tuke

Henry Scott Tuke was an English painter renowned for his maritime scenes and depictions of young men, often in a naturalistic and intimate style. There is something nostalgic about many of Tuke's works — his vibrant use of color and light perfectly captures the idyllic and carefree essence of youth.

In his personal and professional life, Tuke met and befriended many fellow artists such as John Singer Sargent, and talented poets, including Oscar Wilde and John Addington Symonds. He traveled often in circles with other Uranian — the term in use at the time for gay men — artists. While Tuke's art prominently features nude young men, his works aren't sexually explicit. Most of his works show young men in the foreground but the star is clearly the sea.

Tuke's legacy is celebrated for its artistic merit and its subtle challenge to the conventions of his time, particularly posthumously. Around the 1970s, his body of work was rediscovered by gay artists, art collectors, and art historians — including Sir Elton John!

I took the cargo ops class at school but my teacher explained that it doesn't give a certification and I'd only be okay for ship's crane and the school forklifts. she said I could take an online exam and get my cert. I paid 60 bucks.

I'm googling and I'm seeing a lot of resources saying that the online programs cover the classroom part of the exam but not the in person practical aspect.

For the folks curious about templates, these are the shapes I cut from cardboard. I added a couple little pieces of cereal box cardboard as structural support in various points, like the bridge of the nose and behind the beak. Also, I ended up cutting the forehead piece a little smaller, which I marked on the paper, but I kept the template size in case you want to see how it originally looked.

It's a completely different piece of wearable art. It has a different soul. It has a different feel.

Bear's mask templates! I just want to stress that our masks are extremely low tech and budget friendly. They're made out of cardboard, hot glue, and fleece, with an elastic band in the back. I used a little sheer black fabric I had leftover from my terror bird costume for the eyes.

Fleece and felt are very forgiving fabrics and you can basically just cut a single large piece and stretch it to fit, gluing it to the cardboard one small section at a time. The fabric was the only purchase we made for these, and it was in the form of thrift store blankets.

If you're about to say some shit ask yourself if you're acting like a hall monitor, cop or jailer to people who should be your community, that's all.

i know that when things are uncertain and society is getting really scary for a lot of us for whom it wasn't so scary ( let's be real, it's been scary for others ) it's frighteningly easy to go with every knee jerk "this makes me uncomfortable therefore it is bad and i need to police it" we get but... there is another way.

we can call out inappropriate behavior that's actually harmful and not just someone's identity that makes you feel weird or someone's kink that squicks you or their expression that makes you uncomfortable but is ultimately their thing while recognizing that when someone does something that makes US feel weird quite often it's because of what WE went through and has nothing to do with the morality or lack-thereof of their actions.

someone's kink, someone's gender expression, someone's contradictory labels, someone's way of saying "hey society, you want me dead but i'm still here" can deeply trigger our own responsive feelings and that's valid but what isn't valid is to act as wannabe oppressors in the midst of our communities.
