This person's bad habit of Photoshopping these paintings gets on my last nerve. Every time there's a saturation thing and it's so unnecessary

Here's the proper scan

The photoshop/filter did absolutely NOTHING for this painting. What a loser. The original is A+.

shoulder kisses and backshots

[excellent-desert]

These shots show the — dare I say sacred? — beauty of sex the way I always felt, from my very first casual encounters, but never before saw reflected in art or media.

It’s about enjoying another human’s body. Making them feel good. Letting them make you feel good.

A random person, a stranger, a friend, a person you don’t even really like but there’s that **zing** when you touch.

Doing it after a crisis, when you’re extracting, when adrenaline is running high.

Hands, mouths, just grinding, or everything.

Random bee behavior fact for those who wish to read, just because I feel like it and because it’s late and I’m stalling on sleeping:

Bumblebees look like passive, cuddly, and docile creatures; and they generally are- but they won’t hesitate to defend themselves if they feel their warnings aren’t being seen!

I.e. below, when a bumblebee feels threatened they will raise one or more of their legs into the air, signaling to whatever or whomever may be bothering them as a message essentiality saying: “hey, back off, too close!”

species: top, bombus pascuorum / bottom, bombus impatiens

If their defensive posture goes unnoticed or ignored, they may be pushed into defending themselves by stinging (which is an all around sucky experience for not only you, but also for the bee. (Note that bumblebees do not die after stinging, but it is still stressful for them.) If you ever find yourself getting close to a bumblebee while taking pictures, trying to move them, or just admiring them, remember this posture! If they do this, it is simply asking you to take a step back because it feels it is being threatened! You might get stung.

Now you can understand and use this knowledge to your advantage if you ever come across one in the future. (Of course, because it’s very hard not to anthropomorphize animals, I do admit that they look cute when doing it. Just remember to respect their space!)

Aging is not decay; it is a masterpiece in slow motion.

Skin folds like pages in a well-loved book,

soft, worn, and endlessly rich with time.

There is beauty in being written by the years.

Marine Protected Areas (2)

Mangroves, kelp forests, remote seamounts - Marine Protected Areas (MPA's) protect vital ocean ecosystems. These ‘safe zones’ for the ocean help fish populations bounce back, support the people who rely on the sea, and even help fight climate change. And the benefits don't stop at their borders; they ripple out into the wider ocean too.

Hello :) I'd be curious to see the flow chart you've developed to guide translational selections of the Odyssey if you're happy to share it! Both for using it for my next read and for guiding my friends/family into the book who are looking for recommendations after watching the Nodyssey. Thanks 💙

i formalized it just for you. and @ilions-end. but mostly you

[theodysseyofhomer]

i can only vouch for what i've read myself, but being as i am obsessive, i've added alternative paths based on comments by @finelythreadedsky and @doloneia! mwah

i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way
