If you want to feel good about your artistic skills, enjoy this painting of a *checks caption* bee by the prime minister.

having friends notably older than you is fantastic actually, cause you can drop in a little mention of how old you would have been at the time of a story they tell and watch the existential crisis set in

Sarah Jane Baker, the trans woman who was arrested for saying “punch terfs” at London Pride, is now on hunger strike and refusing all food and fluids until she is moved to a women’s prison.
Just so we’re clear, moving her to a women’s prison would be the bare fucking minimum the state could do. She shouldn’t be in prison at all, the police and parole board only changed their decision not to arrest her due to pressure from the Home Office. Once again, Suella Braverman is an overreaching authoritarian piece of shit.
Fire to the prisons!
Free Sarah Jane!

Beyond the Visible: Hilma af Klint (Halina Dyrschka, 2019)
Men invent nothing.
I went to an exhibition about female abstract artists and Hilma af Klint isn’t the only one… :/
Left: Marlow Moss in 1932. Right: Piet Mondrian in 1935.
Left: Janet Sobel in 1946. Right: Jackson Pollock in 1947.
Jackson Pollock admitted that he started making that kind of paintings after seeing Janet Sobel’s work. She was a self-taught female artist and he was a trained male artist who was friends with an influential art critic, so he was remembered as the one who invented “all-over” drip paintings.

I remember in my Arabic class we were going over the alphabet and the teacher was like there’s no ‘P’ etc and this white girl was like wait what but my names Paige and my teacher was like lol then we’d pronounce it as beige and she was so offended I’m crying thinking about it
One of my mom’s friends, Hugh, went to France and they had a lot of trouble pronouncing his name because the entire thing was silent.
salut je m'appelle [REDACTED]
lol when I lived in France my host family had a friend names Hugh. We saw him and his family a lot.
They pronounced it “oog” and I didn’t know until the day before I left France that his name was Hugh. I just thought he had some weird caveman nickname 😭
that is hands down the funniest addition to this post

one of the worst things abt chronic fatigue and chronic pain is the boredom. rendered incapable of doing anything and the pain and fatigue is so taxing that your brain can’t handle doing engaging things. your brain gets tired. too tired to think sometimes. but you’re still aware. so then comes the boredom. just yearning for any kind of activity but being denied it because you just don’t have the space for it. the worst thing abt pain and fatigue is that it’s banal.

traditionally this is why warrior cultures usually either have VERY short hair or VERY long hair. you have to either shave it off or tie it up. the in between zone (pictured) is where the devil dwells on earth
