Asking the right questions.
did you guys see the poem from a couple of days ago in poetry dot org’s daily poem it was so good and a treat to read
been thinking about it since i read it
“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
— Vincent Van Gogh
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”
- Vincent van Gogh
This is apparently a hotter take than I thought but: hating on lawyers as a profession, calling them inherently dishonest etc. is politically reactionary. It discourages defendants from seeking legal counsel, puts forth the idea that it’s inherently suspicious to insist on seeing a lawyer before you answer police questioning (your constitutional right!) etc. which ultimately just benefits the state in making it easier for them to convict you. This is one of those things that “progressives” who were raised conservative often don’t realize is one of the parts of their parents’ worldview they should question more, but they should. Not only are lawyers not The Problem with “our system,” but having someone who is educated in the law whose job is to represent your interests in court — getting one regardless of your ability to pay, even! — is in fact one of the best parts of it.
"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."
"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."
One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
Someone who says they don't care if dudes wear dresses and makeup is a better ally than someone who says they're a safe space for women and non-binary people. I am not joking.
yeah I went to a gay bar recently with my husband tumblr user beemovieerotica, and a VERY confused capital S Southerner straight man in cargo shorts and a trucker hat showed up
apparently he (who through my drunken memory I remember only as Earl) liked some woman, and she told him that he wasn't cultured enough and needed to attend his first drag show (she also flaked on him)
Now I'm reasonably androgynous and was wearing makeup, a short leather skirt, and black heeled boots, but still when this guy came up to me when I was standing off alone and asked "So. Do you come here often?" with a very earnest expression, I thought. Surely not. This guy doesn't think I'm a straight woman does he????
Anyway I start talking with this guy and he has no idea what the fuck is going on but he is just a very kind and earnest dude and asked a lot of questions (while asking if it was alright if he asked those questions). I track down my husband and friends and I'm like y'all. We need to make sure that Earl has a Good Fucking Time tonight.
Man was completely out of his depth. At one point they put on a puppy auction to raise money for Pride, that started with a 6 ft drag queen in all her glory leading a leather pup out on a leash to the tune of that damned RSPCA "in the arms of the angels" song
We look at Earl. Nervous. He squints, laughs, and then goes "I was wondering why people were dressed like that!" He turned to me and asked "So they're like dogs?" And I said yeah pretty much. And he just chuckled and went "Yeah I thought so with the tails! Never seen this before!"
When the first drag king came out, Earl looked at me wide eyed and went "There's a dude version too?!" And I said yeah they're called drag kings. And he said, low, "Drag kings."
During one of the queens performances, he frowned, shook his head and told me, "Your legs are better than hers." in a tone that implied he thought there was some travesty taking place and I should also be getting paid
When he found out I was there with my husband (and that I am not a woman) he profusely apologized and said "I'm so sorry, it's dark in here and I thought you were a hot chick! I wouldn't have said nothing if I knew you had a husband, I'm so sorry about that."
When beemovie invited me to the dance floor with him later and I still had a drink in my hand, Earl said "Oh don't worry about that I can hold your drink, you get on out there and shake your ass with your husband!" Then before we left, Earl bought me drinks for "Putting up with me all night and answering everything. Y'all helped me have a great time tonight."
like. You gotta recognize there's going to people who have never had interacted outside of their of their own community. This includes you. And just because your community is familiar with all the right vocabulary and how to correctly say something, it doesn't mean they're actually going to support you. If someone like Earl shows up, confused and out of their depth but kind and curious and earnest, you gotta have patience and truck through the small things, so when he goes back to his friends and his coworkers and they snicker asking how the drag show was, he can genuinely talk about how included we tried to make him feel and that he had a great time

If the primary colors were to get into a fight, which would win and why?
good question would this include the additive and subtractive models? red vs blue vs yellow vs green vs cyan vs magenta
...It's Blue.
If we hold Primary Color Thunderdome, Blue crushes everyone else. In fact, this is an important property of blue and it's one of the most convenient ways to perk a bland illustration the fuck up.
The fault is not within ourselves, but in our stars.
Humans, on average, have drastically more Long and Medium wavelength cone cells in our Retinas, meaning most of our cone cells are the kinds that see Red, Orange, Yellow and Green really well. You'd think that would make us really good at distinguishing those colors, and give Red and Yellow and edge in the primary fight, right?
Well, we ARE really good at distinguishing Red and Yellow... but there's not that much red and yellow light compared to Blue Light.
If you remember 5th grade science at all, you might remember that Light is a bunch of rays of energy traveling in waves in from space, mostly the Sun. The more energy these rays have, the more frequently the wave waves, and the farther the light travels.
Now, the sun emits a full spectrum of light, but after 93 Million miles and smacking into the atmosphere, a lot of the lower-energy red and yellow light waves have been scattered and broken up, but the blue ones are still going strong, so the mix of light the human eye actually receives is a little red, a little more yellow-green, and a SHITLOAD of Blue.
Hence, we need a TON of Long-and-Medium wavelength receptors to be able to pick up red and yellow at all!
But this also means Blue is stupidly OP.
A "Pigment" is "A Physical Chemical Compound that reflects specific wavelengths of light." and in physical media, which all utilize pigments, Blue is King. Even a smidgen of blue pigment has tons and tons more blue light hitting it to reflect and will reflect more light per pigment compound than any red or yellow pigments you've got.
FURTHERMORE, our ability to see, and distinguish different types of red and yellow light gives blue another advantage- because we CAN see red and yellow so well, we can also distinguish between many, many, MANY types of blue light- if there is ANY red or yellow light being reflected with that bluelight, we'll spot it, and our brains will say that "WELL! That blue is CLEARLY different than THIS blue!", which is probably why Blue has got so many distinctions in language- "Goluboy" vs "Siniy" in russian, The continued disputed use of "Indigo" in english, and "Blue vs Cyan" in Digital work.
I am not entirely up on the physics of digital art, but given that the color wheel in clip studio looks like this:
(Say hello to the Split Primary Color Wheel everyone!)
-I'm willing to bet the Physics-based Dominion of Blue holds true.
A cool thing about this Physics Glitch is that you can use "Electric Blue" (From about where I have the Marker placed in the above picture to the line between True Blues and "Teal") as an underpainting color, and it will peek through in an extremely subtle but attention-grabbing way that can make a dull-colored illustration much more interesting to look at.
In traditional media, that means laying down a fine layer of Electric blue media and then drawing/painting over it.
In digital, once you've done your lineart, mask off the subject of your work and put a layer of the most intensely blue-blue your eye sees under the lineart, and then color in your subject on a layer above your blue, by drawing in the color manually or leaving the color layer *just a bit* translucent so the blue peeks through in a handful of pixels. if it's a full scene, pop the blue layer between your lowest color layer and your paper layer. let it leak through, just a bit, and it'll make everything pop.
You can also use electric blue as a color-shift in your lineart, or sprinkle it in wherever you like- a little goes a long way, but I extremely recommend it.

every moment of every day i am thinking about this tiktok
Always reblog
every time i see those posts like ‘what food from a show did YOU always wanna try’ i go lol none? but i just remembered im a liar
i always wanted the fucking soup brock made in the pokemon anime
Hello OP, i don’t have anyway to prove this is the same recipe they make in the shows but i make this to calm my inner kid from wanting the fictional soup:
300gr bacon, beef or chicken. A meat of your choice. These go specially well. I prefer chicken tights. Diced
1 medium onion, diced.
Garlic minced (i used 2-4 pieces depending on size)
300gr carrot, cleaned, peeled and diced.
3 sticks of celery, washed and diced.
800gr potato. Washed, peeled diced in quarters.
1 head of broccoli.
8 cups of stock of your preference. I recommend using the bones of the beef or chicken, but veggies stock works too for a vegetarian or vegan version.
3 tablespoons all purpose flour.
1 cup whole milk. (Almond or rice milk work fine for a vegan option)
½ cup heavy cream. (Skip it for a vegan option)
Salt and black pepper to taste.
½ teaspoon paprika, use the spicy one to get the warmth up a notch in winter.
1 tablespoon fresh chopped coriander. Optional.
1 cup diced gouda or manchego cheese. Optional but really ties all together.
Make sure you have all your ingredients ready and at hand for this one to make sure it comes out nice and tasty!!!
In a pot put water and the bones to prepare your stock (chicken, beef, veggie) You can use premade or bouillon cubes, just make sure its 8 cups worth of broth. In a different pot boil the potatoes until soft.
In a big pot put some butter or olive oil to fry the onion, when it turns a little transparent add the garlic, move constantly.
Add the celery and diced carrots, moving constantly.
The carrot will get a little brighter in color, add the diced meat. Salt and pepper to your taste.
Meanwhile, blend the potatoes with enough stock so your blender wont have trouble blending. If you have a food processor, it’ll be easier.
Ad the remaining stock to you big pot with the veggies and meat, add the broccoli chopped in bite size pieces. Add the paprika and taste for salt and pepper. Let over a medium fire for 10 min.
Separate 3 tbsp of the stock to mix with the flour, set aside. This will be a thickening agent.
Pour the potato mix on the big pot, move to integrate and taste for salt and pepper.
Add the milk and heavy cream. Move with a laddle. Have a final taste and let over low fire for 5 min.
Serve hot and decorate with a pinch of coriander and some cubes of cheese.
ENJOY!
Notes:
I personally prefer to use chicken, love how it goes with potatoes and veggies. Also the tight is very tender and flavorful. With beef you have to be careful not to overcook it or it’ll get gummy and hard to bite, so make adjustments.
VEGAN: could also skip the meat, cheese and heavy cream for a vegan option.
I make it for my younger sister and she loves it. Instead of meat i add some diced, toasted nuts when served. Cashew, pecan and pistachios work nicely.
You’ll have to use 5 tbsp of flour to thicken up the broth a tid bit more without the heavy cream but you can still use a vegan milk.
You can totally skip the coriander, but it adds another dept of flavor.
Do try it with the cheese tho, i promise it’s GODLY. Gouda and manchego are my fave, the melt nicely and have a strong after taste, but i guess any cheese that melts could work.
Finally, if you are like me and like spicy food you can add chopped chili. Serrano and arbol chiles are my go to’s, freshly chopped sprinkled just after serving my bowl.
Hope y'all give it a try and if you have any doubts do ask!
Provecho!
this is literally the best addition i’ve ever gotten to any of my posts thank you so much
Hey I tried this recipe out and I can confirm that it tastes heavenly!!
ccelicaa
people have got to learn the difference between I didnt like it and It was bad
+ a secret, third thing
It’s a shame that Velma got made when the perfect adult version of Scooby Doo already exists. Scooby Doo on Zombie Island did the adult gang with genuine fucked up body horror, villains the audience empathize with, a classic soundtrack and SNIFFER DOG SCOOBY in 19 fucking 98.
