Images from Leonard Nimoyâs The Full Body Project (2007)
The Full Body Project is a book of photography by Leonard Nimoy that features a group of women involved in fat liberation. They were the Fat-Bottom Revueâwomen who worked in film, theatre, and art and who formed the first all-fat burlesque performance group. The founder of the Fat-Bottom Revue, Heather MacAllister, was an advocate in the LGBT rights movement, the fat acceptance movement, and in particular was a champion for fat lesbians.

As a quick break from Drawtober-- I made a lil black cat zine recently!!! :D
I somewhat mentioned it earlier, but I also wanted to show some "behind the scenes," like the inspiration for the pics + exactly how I put together the zine itself, if anyone was curious! you can check it under the cut C:
No moon, no light to cross your face.
Eating this whole. The line art is exquisite.
If you search "Keyhole Gardening" on StartPage or any other search engine that isn't AI-corrupted, you'll get a bumper crop of information.
The Wikipedia page is very detailed.
Also adding some book recommendations on Permaculture from the fine folks at Lithub.

Iâm going to keep beating the âyou guys donât understand museums at all and the memes are actively harming any work done to improve thingsâ drum until it enters the public consciousness as much as âdid you know the Egyptian gods didnât have animal heads?â I did it once and Iâll do it again.
Donât just post a meme or think bringing up the BM at every opportunity counts as activism. Learn about how these places work from the multitudes of museum professionals and academics that exist on the internet. Theyâre more than happy to tell you about all the good and bad things that museums are. Then at least if youâre fighting for change, you actually know what youâre fighting for rather than posting half baked hot takes.
Y'know, I wanted to add to this with a well thought out piece on how a lot of people don't understand museums or even how colonialism played a part in how collections were formed (the truth - not the weird game of internet telephone facts people *think* makes them knowledgeable). That sort of stuff is important information for people to have.
But then I realised what I was seeing in people's replies/tags/comments was beyond anything I could do to try to help correct the situation. Basically, most comments that were being made lacked any understand on even the most fundamentally basic level, so have this instead:
'it should have been the british museum instead' - bestie, do you think the british were the only ones with an empire? France had one too, and you're never going to guess what's housed in the Louvre. absolutely tone deaf to just think it was only one country who did colonialism and has a museum with colonial items in. please go look up what the hobby lobby is up to, or why they MET has been in so much trouble. the issue is everywhere, so every time I see this statement, I think the person who wrote it is an idiot.
'the british museum stole everything anyway' - the museum, as in the actual institution, has never stolen anything. I mean that seriously. a large part of its collection isn't even stolen because there are legitimate ways to accquire artefacts. strange, I know, but more people would know that if they didn't just parrot hot takes on the internet. this is not to say that it doesn't have stolen objects, it absolutely does, but how they got there is way more complicated. mostly it's rich old guys who did do a colonialism donating things to the british people on their deaths and the government going 'we need to put these somewhere' (again...simplistic/lacking nuance).
'if things are stolen from museums we can repatriate' - no you can't. funny thing about recieving artefacts is that you need provenance and chain of custody. those are legal things and you'll be serving the country or culture the artefact should be returned to much better by *not* handing them stolen goods with no provenance.
'uhh I thought these museums were supposed to be better at looking after these artefacts. clearly they can't' - yeah, no, see the first part of that is the racist myth that conservatives use to prevent any talks on repatriation, we all need to cut that shit out. the second part is because people have been getting more hostile towards museums, governments have been using it as an excuse to cut funding for them (you may think that museums, including the BM, are very rich...they aren't. their value is in their collections, they don't actually have much money at all) and when funding is cut, they're stretched thin. That's how what happened at the Louvre happened. The more arts and cultural institutions are devalued and defunded, the more likely it is that they will close and let me tell you, those collections will be sold and none of you will see those artefacts again. they sure as shit won't go back to their country of origin. they're more likely to be displayed in a billionare's 8th mansion.
who cares? it's funny - you are a tar pit and part of the problem

Vivaldi played by the South African elementary school Goede Hoop Marimba Band
Turn ON the sound
Slow down, turn on the sound and take a couple of minutes to enjoy this!
I think Vivaldi would have been tickled by this as he actually wrote so much of his music for an all girl orphanage/school. So to see a group of girls still playing his music hundreds of years later?!?!?! On an instrument he'd never seen?!?!?!
Wow, the drama in this performance. Genuinely amazing.
This made me so happy that I'm going to close Tumblr and go take some time to bask in the feeling instead of scrolling right on to the next thing.
hot artists don't gatekeep

Homie gonna share this
can anyone tell me the watch order for every movie ever so i can understand all references and homages
@dionrevel PLEASE share the link.
Lol sure!!
For movies, here is the beginner's list:
Beginner's guide for getting in the loop.
And the more advanced list:
Advanced guide to getting in the loop. Supplementary to "Civilization Essentials." If a movie is on this list, then it has one of these: -Po
Not all these movies are necessarily good, but the ones that gave me small pop culture epiphanies. It made me realize that 30%-40% of the jokes from modern sitcoms are references/parodies- and these movies are their source material.
^^ This is also true for socializing. So many people I thought were naturally funny were just doing movie bits.
[I actually do have a job, I am just a big fan of lists and graphs and flow charts etc.]

So anyways with the rapid rise of fascism I feel itâs a good time to point out that itâs perfectly legal to follow unjust orders slowly, badly, or inefficiently
Breaking the law, even an unjust law, has consequences that not all can afford. But also a very large number of us are also very stupid, or very confused, or very lazy, and so itâs not unreasonable that someone at the bottom of the chain of command might make a typo, or misplace some paperwork, or leave a Friday afternoon email for Monday morning.
When something goes wrong, or an operation slows down, because a low-level worker somewhere sent a package to the wrong address or left someone on hold for an hour or didnât fill out a particular form correctly- Do you immediately assume malicious intent? Or do you usually just brush it off as some underpaid idiot being bad at their job?
You also gotta not brag about it. Keep your political opinions on the down low. Be noncommittal or ignorant or undecided. Say things like âIâve never heard of thatâ, âwhere did you hear that?â or âthatâs interesting, I heard a conflicting story from here, how weirdâ. Never be outwardly confidant of what you know. When there is a silence, donât fill it- leave the space and let the other fill it for you. Thatâs how you get information, thatâs how you find sources, thatâs how you reduce the value of anything others get out of you.
Virtue signalling by wearing pins and ribbons and loudly declaring your place is not safe in some environments. It will place scrutiny on you and everything you touch. Nobody believes the guy who says âfuck my boss and everything he stands forâ scratches the bossâs car by accident, even if it is an accident.
If you want to slow the march of a tank, filling the path with mud is going do more than laying down in front of it.
âNever let your enemy tell you how many of you there are. Never let the man that youâre against form your opinions. This is the trick thatâs played on everyone whoâs oppressed: when you have a revolution in a country, the first thing you take over is the radio. Then, you start telling the people that the war is over, so all of them surrender. They believe that thing right there. And once they take that over, they start telling you where you are and where they are, and you fall right in line â itâs plain thought control. The majority of the American people arenât segregationists. The majority of the American people arenât imperialists. But the government is. The structure is; the power faction is. So, how, then, do all the majority go along with it? Because those who sit in power over the television, over the radio, and over the press are constantly telling those who are the masses how free they are, how this they are, and how that they are.â
The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. Theyâre everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
oh shit
As the OP of this post, Iâm going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
Y'all know what to do Tumblr.

20-somethings on this website doing none of the things weâre evolved to do for our health and then wondering why theyâre so depressed. (smacking you through the screen) GO EAT A LEAF!!!!!!!! GO CRACK A NUT OPEN WITH A ROCK YOU SAD TORMENTED LITTLE APE
i know this is easier said than done and i do not mean this judgementally but you have to start treating yourself like the animal you are in any small consistent way you can. like imagine you went to a zoo and you saw a gorilla sitting in front of blue screens for hours with no natural light no physical activity no interaction with peers no nutritious whole foods no fresh air no water and a pack of cigarettes. you would run screaming to the local news about the blatant animal abuse. you would be demanding boycotts youâd be sledgehammering locks off cages. do you get what i am saying please go squish your toes in mud
This this this! You're your own zookeeper so stop violating ethics boards
really hope this is my tumblr legacy #MyLegacy
Something I try to keep in mind when making art that looks vintage is keeping a limited color pallette. Digital art gives you a very wide, Crisp scope of colors, whereas traditional art-- especially older traditional art-- had a very limited and sometimes dulled use of color.
This is a modern riso ink swatch, but still you find a similar and limited selection of colors to mix with. (Mixing digitally as to emulate the layering of ink riso would be coloring on Multiply, and layering on top of eachother đ)
If you find some old prints, take a closer look and see if you can tell what colors they used and which ones they layered... a lot of the time you'll find yellow as a base!
Misprints can really reveal what colors were used and where, I love misprints...
Something else I keep in the back of my mind is: how the human eye perceives color on paper vs. a screen. Ink and paint soaks into paper, it bleeds, stains, fades over time, smears, ect... the history of a piece can show in physical wear. What kind of history do you want to emulate? Misprinted? Stained? Kept as clean as possible, but unable to escape the bluing damages of the sun? It's one of my favorite things about making vintage art. Making it imperfect!
You can see the bleed, the wobble of the lines on the rug, the fading, the dirt... beautiful!!
Thinking in terms of traditional-method art while drawing digital can help open avenues to achieving that genuine, vintage look!
ALSO!!
YELLOWING!! Digital art is very blue-light based. Cold, clean, flat. But traditional art has warmth to it. Why?
Over time, paper gets yellowed with dust, oil, dirt, and nicotine from cigarettes! So colors got warmer. This makes art look pretty aged, on top of the slight toned papers and hand made/factory made inks they printed with.
Learn how to simulate retro artwork in this three-part series dedicated to the history of printing methods and how to recreate them digitall
If I told you to think of a Silver Age comic book, what image does your mind conjure? Chances are, youâre picturing a comic with bold linesâŚ
Dang y'all like old art!! Here's a couple resources too for those who wanna learn some more :]
------------------------------------------
ADDITION: I KEEP MEANING TO MENTION THIS-- YOU CAN SET YOUR CANVAS TO CMYK INSTEAD OF RGB FOR BETTER COLORS! :D
CMYK is meant for printing, while RBG is a light spectrum color setting.
You can look up how to do this for whichever drawing program you use since it can change from program-to-program!
