A2 sized charcoal study of my grandpa's laboratory in his pharmacy for my uni application portfolio last year.

My grandpa passed away a few years ago so it was a bit emotionally taxing to spend so much time in this space where everything reminds me of him but I always loved it with it's "last renovated in the 70's" vibes and the pharmaceutical knick-knacks all around ,I liked hanging around it as a kid , watching my grandpa mix creams or make slime with his chemist knowhow for me and my borther (that was before youtube even was a thing and way way way before the diy slime craze, we called it fake snot here back then, very appealing :"D) , anyway it's a place that holds a lot of good memories turned bittersweet now, that I like the look of so it was a no brainer for a study subject to choose :')

Being able to draw older people as attractive without reducing or erasing the visual signs of aging, and in fact showing that they're attractive because of those signs, is an artistic skill that should be valued so much more. Honestly, it should earn you an immediate fortune because holy fuck is it a rare commodity. There are so many artists who seem to think attractiveness and aging exist in opposition to each other, so they smooth every wrinkle, erase every crease, and de-age the character until they're basically thirty with silver hair. But when an artist can look at crow's feet, smile lines, weathered skin, deep-set wrinkles, and all the little traces of a life well lived and say, "No, that's what makes them beautiful," that's a level of artistic observation and care I wish we celebrated more often.

it rly is insane how even more aggressive the major tech industries have gotten in terms of outsourcing manual labour to foreign nations. more and more companies are just going mask-off with their facade of "revolutionary AI" just being piloted by someone in Asia or Africa who is either skirting the poverty line, or already under and struggling to stay afloat. like i am struggling to find the words for how outrageous this is. honestly sickening

you ever just sit and realise u can’t remember 80% of your childhood? like … what happened? who am i ..?

Many people in the comments are saying “trauma”, but this is actually a very normal occurrence. It’s called Childhood Amnesia, and it’s a process which, as the brain reorganizes itself for cognitive thought that is developed in late childhood, it changes the Accessibility of those memories during recall. Many childhood memories are available to the person, but they will not be remembered during regular recall activity, you have to “trick” your brain into remembering with different tactics.

This is because there are two parts to memories - their encoding and their recall. The encoding determines their availability, their recall determines their accessibility. The reason why trauma memory and childhood amnesia are different is in this distinction. Trauma memory is often encoded differently, bypassing to the limbic system where it is stored as intrinsic memory. It can’t be recalled because it was never encoded. Childhood amnesia, however, seems to indicate that the memories are encoded, but we lose access to them as we age. This is most likely due to the development of brain structures that fundamentally change our encoding and recall of memory as we get older.

This is an important distinction, because trauma memory is “stored in the body”, i.e. you get triggers that send your body into a cascade of uncontrollable feelings, sensations and reactions. Whereas childhood memories won’t generally do that, they are just recalled at odd times with odd associations.

reblogging this because I’ve legit seen people freaking out when they realised they can’t remember some of their childhood, thinking they might have some repressed trauma.

Totally normal for a legitimate for-profit company to refuse to reclaim or stop running their products even after they're no longer being paid to do so. I'm sure it's very normal to just keep running your service for free when your contract's been terminated. Spending money to continue running cameras that supposedly no one is looking at is definitely not an indicator they are just run by the federal government to spy on everyone and only a wacko conspiracy theorist would think so.
