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.

Don't forget the ALLIGATORS. He loves them too.

Chick-fil-A mounts PR campaign to push back against its anti-LGBTQ+ reputation - LGBTQ Nation

The chicken chain was told to "cluck off" the last time it tried to move into the UK. This time, it hired bigger guns.

[tehjleck]

me: "have they tried not being fucking ignorant religious bigots?"

article: “I suspect that a bit of the steam has gone out of the LGBT thing,” Backman told the right-wing outlet, staying ahead of the issue. “There may be the odd protester, but if they have got armies of PR people laser-focused on that then I suspect it may be OK.”

me: no surprises there... fuck them

We go through a lot of pickles here and this recipe is a good way to use leftover brine.

[jfk-blown-away-blog]

The thing that pisses me off the most though is the fact I know so many LGBTQ+ individuals that still go there, and they are surprised when I actually don't. It's literally like that tweet.

Every day i think about those black musicians whose songs were made into covers by white people and now everyone thinks that these are the originals. Youtube comment sections are full of people like "is this what it feels like to find out you're adopted?" instead of celebrating and promoting the original creators of the songs.

Gloria Jones - Tainted Love

Little Eva - Loco-Motion

Martha & The Vandellas - Dancing in the Streets

James Ray - I've Got My Mind Set On You

one of the most insidious wellness/health trends is the “women ditch your birth control because it’s bad for you!!! they’re trying to poison you but it’s okay you can track your cycle naturally and that alone will prevent pregnancy”

can guarantee that if you go into the following of these accounts, the sources cited from these accounts, the tagged posts from these accounts - they are nearly always linked to greater movements about “restoring the west”, “we need women at home having children again” and other weird trad shit

“many women have issues with birth control because women are routinely dismissed/misdiagnosed by medical professionals” =/= “you should trust suspicious people about high risk alternatives”

[markingatlightspeed]

My grandmother used the rhythm method.

My grandmother had 7 daughters.

Use birth control. At least condoms jfc y'all.

[violetsandshrikes]

[canadianwheatpirates]

To add on to "T is not birth control": there are forms of hormonal birth control that don't conflict with T! Anything progesterone-only (the implant; hormonal IUDs; the depo provera shot; the progesterone-only pill) doesn't affect T. So if these methods work for you, you can take them while taking T 👍

[swimmingblue]

and look. It's true that no method of birth control is 100%, perfectly effective. But modern birth control methods (the pills, shots, IUDs, hell, even modern condoms) are significantly more effective than just using natural methods like the rhythm method or just breastfeeding longer and hoping for the best.

Safe and effective birth control is a huge deal. Don't throw it away because bigots are trying to mind-control you. If you look at all the facts and decide that you don't like it, that's your choice, but please make an informed decision first.

[asparklethatisblue]

Once again begging: if you use birth control and experience all the horrible symptoms wellness influences insist are poisoning you? Please speak to a doctor or health professional. Even one "method" has variations, different times of day to take it, different dosages, same dosage but different manufacturers, different combinations of hormones... and that's just "the pill", there's different things based on what you need. Chemical or material (copper IUD) oral or injection, anything. If your doctor is at all decent they will work with you to find something else that works if you ask to review it.

Sometimes I worry that all this reaction is just because some people are lucky and contraception is the only medication they take. Both chronic and temporary conditions I had took trial and error to figure out what works best. Every medication has side effects you need to balance with their usefulness. "this is fine but could be better" or "well you reacted poorly to this, so I'll give you a different kind if antibiotics, it takes longer but will make you feel less nauseous". Any decent doctor tells me "lets see how you react to this and then we'll see if we should adjust it".

and the worst thing? Influencers will tell you to quit certain medications cold turkey and they point to your reaction as proof of getting over an addiction or it having been bad. A lot of meds, even very benign and easy to take ones, will cause a negative reaction if you quit all at once and your body gets used to the new balance. And there is always "I feel so well clearly I don't need it anymore". That's the devil talking

When people look at abstract art and go "uh I could make that"

Fuck, I wish you would!

I wish you would let this inspire you. I wish that seeing a piece of abstract art would move you to self expression.

I wish you would go to the craft store, buy a cheap canvas and some cheap paint and let yourself play with color and form just to see if you can.

I wish that there were more amateur painters, trying their hand at geometric abstraction and color field painting. That would be so fucking cool.

"I could make that" should be a joyous revelation, not a snarky dismissal.

You could make that? Holy shit. please. Please make that.

God I want to try working in oil paint so bad, but I've never done it. It seems so intimidating. But oh the TEXTURE you get.
