2026 is gonna be the year of banging your head against a wall. in 2027 maybe we can do other things
I always say that the thing which sets Sargent apart as a portrait artist is that he draws/paints literally every subject - no matter their gender, social position, life vs representational drawing etc - like he is right that minute realising he's desperately in love with them. And it rules every single time.
Examples pulled just from his Wikipedia page most popular works. Absolutely devastating scenes for bisexuals for over a century
Don't forget the ALLIGATORS. He loves them too.
Trans activist Jamison Green's passport photos before and after HRT. Left he's age 32 (1980) Right age 41 (1989) after being on testosterone for one year (x)
(read his autobiography here for free)
updated the link to his autobiography because it was broken! here's some more pictures of him (first is mid 90s, second 2013 and last 2024)
there's an interview with him from 2017 along with some information about his life and activism. and he was interviewed on a podcast here. he's not super well known but has been a really important trans activist for decades
Felt this in my bones

i used to really resent people who loved pokemon gen 1 but as hoenn and sinnoh and unove get pushed further and further back into the history of the franchise and forgotten and i care less and less about what's new and modern i do have to admit that gen 1 has a real je ne se quois. the watercolor sugomori art. the theme of urban decay. the way that the franchise hadn't yet settled on that utopian near-future aesthetic that solidified around gen 5.
do you remember people talking about the Great Pokemon War? how that was like a big fan thing in the 90s and 00s? and like... i do think it's a bit of fandom watsonianism, but Generation 1 genuinely takes place in the mid 90s of japan, right after a major economic crash and still in the shadow of war and imperialism. there's an American GI there, mystics using whips, burglars, straight up organized crime, half the monsters you fight can poison you... it's a Mons game, these are Monsters, like you would find in Final Fantasy or Wizardry- slimes and carnivorous plants and dragons, transplanted to a modern setting! being able to catch and befriend them is a twist!
one of the setpieces in the game is an abandoned power plant! even by Ruby and Sapphire, eight years later, the equivalent abandoned power plant is, like, one eccentric guy's half-finished hobby project. in Red and Green there just... is an abandoned power plant, and it doesn't need explanation. if you were living in japan in the mid 90s you saw abandoned industry in your day to day life.
it's just so hostile and of its time and different from the rest of the series. the elements that do get picked up of technology and friendship are there, but there's also just an edge that had been sanded away by the 2000s. and looking back now, as an adult, as someone whose childhood was defined by that shift from the last dregs of the 90s to y2k and the Bush administration in the US... its all so rich and nostalgic and historical and fascinating!
I do love the videos of people in the US for the World Cup getting to experience our beautiful giant portion sizes. Sorry about all the [loud raspberry noise and hand wave in the direction of the white house] at least weβve got buckets of fried chicken for you to try. Maybe the world will also get on the bandwagon for Big Beverage.
Someoneβs had Texas bbq for the first time and I think thatβs beautiful.
i need everyone to get into college football right now i am dying to talk about the texas tech situation. this is the kind of thing that will be referenced for the next 100 years. there will be documentaries and biopics about this.
no one asked but here
texas tech's quartback, brendan sorsby, was investigated for sports gambling. i know sports betting is all the rage right now, but athletes themselves are not allowed to do it. it is Rule Number 1 and it is the highest priority rule for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), who governs all athletic programs at about 1,100 colleges in the US.
the invesitagetion of sorsby revealed that, not only did he place more than 9,000 sports bets when he himself was a collegiate athlete, but 40 of those bets were AGAINST HIS OWN TEAM when he was playing at indiana university. immediately, this threatens the integrity of the sport, and especially because indiana is the hottest team right now as the defending national champion.
the NCAA, which is largely a sham organization these days (they've truly lost their grasp and college athletics are the wild west now) actually enforced their Number 1 Rule and told sorsby his career is over, that he would never play college football again (and, subsequently, that he would never get drafted into the NFL because his college career was cut short).
well, because the NCAA is a husk of its former self, sorsby and texad tech immediately took this to court. MANY athletes have learned these past few seasons that if you can find a judge who's a fan of your team, you can get any NCAA ruling overturned. that's exactly what texas tech did. they filed a suit in Lubbock, where the university is located and where every judge is an alum of texas tech. so sorsby was granted an injunction and will now only be suspended for the first 2 games od the 2026 season (which are alwayd against no-name teams that will be destroyed regardless of who's suspended).
every other school in the country immediately went on the defensive because this is a very clear integretiy issue. so nebraska and georgia (sic em dawgs) released statements saying that all currently-scheduled competitions witb Texas Tech in ANY sport will be canceled and there will be no future schedulings. at least 3 of the major conferences (SEC, Big 10, Big 12) , who account for almost all division 1 sports teams in the country, are also in discussions about cancelling comtests. Texas Tech is part of the Big 12, and there is serious talk of all other teams in the conference shutting texas tech out.
now would probably be time where i say that texas tech is one of the wealthiest programs in college football becaise there is a single billionaire alumnus pouring money into the program with hopes of essentially buying a championship. so texas techs integrity has always been questionable. anyway, the university president put oit a statement that he doesnt care that sorseby violated regulation and that texas tech will sue any school that refuses to play them because it jeopardizes their championship prospects if they're umable to play any games.
this is all just startomg but its so juicy and delicious. the NCAA is going to crumble to dust if they cannot get this injunction overturned. schools like georgia and nebraska have plenty of money so a suit isnt necessarily a concern, but this will absolutely change college football forever. i cant stop reading about it.
update on this: texas tech is claiming that every school who has/is considering cancelling all contests is "afraid" that texas tech is better than them. what's funny about this is that sorsby's stats are average. he is not good enough for this kind of protection. many schools who have already cancelled or are considering it have much better quarterbacks than sorsby. also, texas tech's head coach had said that it's actually ok that sorsby bet against his own team because it "its not murder or assault."
the attorney general of texas has threatened to investigate the Big 12 conference if they sanction Texas Tech
the claim is now that texas texh university just cares so much about brendan sorsbys mental health that they have to sue everyone who calls this an integrity violation. any other school who wouldnt defend an athlete that committed this violation "doesnt care about mental health"

Euros over here for the World Cup discovering we were right about this
the place where so many haunted house genre stories fall apart is where the writers try to explain why the house is haunted and it completely defangs the story because the explanation is never as scary as the haunting itself. "this house is haunted and bad things happen here" can be so artful and outrageously scary. "this house is haunted because Specified Bad Thing Happened Here" falls flat again and again. i'm not saying it can't be done but i'm almost never satisfied by it and often it ruins the whole story for me.
the thing is, a Haunted House story is not the same as a Ghost story. In a Haunted House story, the Haunted House is a character. Usually a main character. In a Ghost story, the ghost is a character. A Ghost's story may be explained by showing us the Ghost's origin. But a Haunted House story cannot be explained by showing us the origin of one of the House's ghosts. That's just one ghost. We're talking about the House.
The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because theyβre hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.

You know, Iβm always kind of surprised at how little musical theater shows up on tumblr.
I mean, the big shows (Hamilton, Les Mis, etc.) and the odd breakthrough now and again (Operation Mincemeat for some reason???) are here.
But on the other hand, for example, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) is delightful, was nominated for Best Musical at the Tonys this year, and also had a successful West End run in 2024. Yet thereβs nearly nothing here. And there is so, so much to say on the recent (4x Tony winning!) revival of Ragtime! But, again, thereβs almost nothing.
Where are the theater kids on this site???
