Incredible Kaleidoscopic 3D Floor Art

Dutch artist Suzan Drummen creates sparkling, fractal-shaped floor installations using an array of individually placed mirrors, crystals, chromed metal, optical glass and precious stones. The effect is a 3D floor that reflects light in all directions. The amazingly colorful and sparkling individually placed pieces create a mesmerizing pattern of color and light.

tumblr user discovers there’s no difference between men and women

literally no difference whatsoever

humans all have the same genitalia and chromosomes

the patriarchy crumbles as a new era of world peace is ushered in and they get a nobel prize for their outstanding discovery

[roughstar]

Regardless of this outstanding discovery, the human race decides to separate itself into groups based on whether or not they like potatoes

The potatriarchy forms

Another Hottest 100, another chance to point out that really, we do not do a very good job acknowledging the great music produced by women.

Let’s take a look at the number of women that appeared in the Hottest 100 of the last 20 years. We’ll look at in pie chart form, because people think that...

[awanderrings]

A small part of me wasn't expecting any women (or front-women, at least) to place in this Hottest 100 given the results of 2009's Hottest 100 Of All Time, in which all of the bands have front-men or vocalists, unless you count Elizabeth Fraser's guest vocals on Massive Attack's Teardrop.

In the 2009 poll, only 6 women were in any of the bands in any capacity; the aforementioned Elizabeth Fraser with Massive Attack, Meg White of The White Stripes, Kim Deal of Pixies, Gillian Gilbert of New Order, Candida Doyle of Pulp, and Zia McCabe of The Dandy Warhols. Before looking it up, I could only think of 3 of those women off the top of my head. Listening to the Hottest 100 poll over the weekend I was really excited to hear more women than in 2009's poll, but it's still a ridiculously large difference in genders.

Commentary.

In February, I posted two pieces in Bed-Stuy on Tompkins and Halsey. These two pieces got the most attention of any pieces I’ve put up so far. Within a few days, someone had written his response to the work directly onto the posters. From there, a woman wrote a response to him. And it went on and, on with different hand-written comments creating this kind of interesting discussion. The pieces remained up until a week or so ago, when the phallic image was drawn. That’s when I decided to try to take them down. 

The “Stop Telling Women to Smile” piece remained in tact enough for me to include it in the exhibition. I thought it was important to present in the show, so that people could view these written reactions.

I love when assertive women scare men to such an extent that they have to resort to infantile shit like this.

They think it will shut women up, but it really just fuels everything further, I hope they know that.

The “devolution” of the poster is more interesting to me than the originals, which I’ve reblogged before.

The fact that a man decided to comment on the poster physically, and was the first to do so, says a lot. Whenever women defend ourselves we get these counter arguments. We get people in general, and not just men, trying to cut down our personal initiatives. And when women, like on the poster, attempt to hold a real discussion we get the brunt of the “dick solution” where we are told that we hate men, we haven’t had a “dick that was good” or we get a penis drawn on the poster meant to make a social commentary about our “place.”

I’ve reblogged the individual posters before because I understand them as a victim of the suggestions. But I’m reblogging them now to show the attempt to keep women in their societal place in our culture.

An excellent example of men not getting the point about street harassment.

“You find our unwanted projections of our opinions of you to be bothersome? Well … well … well … DICKS, THAT’S WHAT! DICKS!!!”

Serious grade-schooler shit here.  Grow the fuck up.

Sighs.

I’m kind of embarrassed by this as a guy. Although I do know we tend to put an undue amount of emphasis on our genitals as the solution to all of life’s problems. Being ornery? RIDE MY DICK! Lesbian? RIDE MY DICK! Depressed? RIDE MY DICK! Just got fired? RIDE MY DICK! *sigh*

And emphasis mine.

[ohshititsar]

Yeahhh, this is a good example of why feminism still needs to be a thing.

[cognitivedissonance]

All of the above. ALL OF IT.
