I despise the way I’m always being measured and I don’t just mean the scales either. The length of my hair as a measure of my femininity. The controlled volume of my laugh as a symbol of my place in womanhood. The size of my smile as a way to test the waters of my consent. How long my eyes linger as a direct correlation to my interest, the way this means that and that means those and everything but my words have real meaning. A girl as a puzzle with no name, always needing to be solved or completed.

the older I get the more I realize the value of privacy, of cultivating your circle and only letting certain people in. You can be open, honest, and real while still understanding not everyone deserves a seat at the table of your life.

Because, really, you don’t know how miserable I am here. I almost cease to exist. I shall revive when you come, like a watered flower.

PAINT RESTORATION OF MESMERIZING

[eliciaforever-deactivated201906]

I saw this on Twitter. He’s using acetone, but a cellulose ether has been added to make it into a gel (probably Klucel—this entire gel mixture is sometimes just called Klucel by restorers, but Klucel is specifically the stuff that makes the gel). 

Normally, acetone is too volatile for restoration, but when it’s a gel, it becomes very stable and a) stays on top of the porous surface of the painting, and b) won’t evaporate. So it can eat up the varnish.

It looks scary, but acetone has no effect on oils, and jelly acetone is even less interactive with the surface of the paint or canvas.
