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.

Got to see these beautiful pieces in person at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.

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.

"This person has a secret onlyfans!" "This artist does NSFW commissions!" "This author writes porn on the side!" I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.

That's amazing and beautiful, and I can't imagine doing it with a quill in an inadequately heated monastery scriptorium on an Atlantic island in November.

But it was done that way regardless.

Here's the Lindisfarne Gospels.

Here's the Book of Kells.

“A tasty little cookie never gave me explosive diarrhea!” “An iced coffee and gossiping with my friends never gave me explosive diarrhea.” “I’ll just stick to my charcuterie boards, those never gave me explosive diarrhea.”

1) Baby we are not the same. I have two GI conditions. A stiff breeze from the wrong direction can give me explosive diarrhea

2) Food poisoning/foodborne illness can take days after consuming the contaminated food to show up, so it’s actually quite difficult to pinpoint the culprit. You can’t know for sure that some spoiled oat milk in that iced coffee a week ago WASN’T the source of your gastrointestinal affliction

it really is quite bad for your military to have an image of itself as a warrior class. what you really want is for your soldiers to think of themselves as boring professionals who will fill out a report form if someone gets a little too warrior ethos out there

we bought a shirt at a thrift store that says "best mom in louisiana" for some reason (as a reminder we are in midwest germany) and now my spouse keeps walking around the house wearing it and saying shit like "WHO STANDS BEFORE THE GREATEST MOM OF LOUISIANA?"

That indie game no one else has played. That show from the 1980s that isn't big in the pop culture osmosis. Your deep dive into Tudor history. A liveblog of your experience learning C++. Your welding skills. Post all of it. This is your house

No joke you guys NEED to get more comfortable blocking people. No more insulting people in public over different blorbo opinions no more making 2k long posts on how whatever ship you don't like shouldn't exist we've grown past that shit. Consistent posts about shit that make you uncomfortable? Block. Rancid blorbo opinions? Block. Is mildly annoying in your replies? Block. Pisses you off for reasons so petty you could never admit it publicly? Block. YOUR mental health will improve from not being upset 24/7, THEIR mental health will not be at risk of you lashing out because you happened to catch their posts on a bad day, and EVERYONE ELSE will benefit from not seeing the most embarrassing arguments known to man on their dash. "Oooh but they didn't deserve it-" dude you're presumably running a personal blog as a hobby not a public service. Who fucking cares.
