Back in the day, Detroit factory workers spray painted cars by hand. The excess paint drippings mixed into different colors and hardened into “Fordite,” which is often used to make jewelry. Source

Find your identity in Christ.
Not in your relationship status,
not in your career path,
not in your academics,
not in your social life.
All of these things are temporary,
and can change at any moment.
But Jesus is everlasting and constant.
Sometimes you just want someone to drive with and show them your favorite songs.
Who’s Alex?
Billboard demonstrating gender stereotypes as most people automatically assume that Alex is the boy.
Actually, I’ve studied design and advertising, and I can tell you that the reason people would look at this and immediately assume Alex is the boy is because, quite simply, the boy is the focal point of the ad.
English-speaking readers’ line of sight goes from left to right and up to down. This ad leads the viewer from the words MEET ALEX etc straight to the boy and then over and down to the girl. I didn’t even notice there was a set of parenthesis with words in them in the ad until I looked the fourth time.Â
This is a fallacious confirmation bias, as anyone looking at it will assume Alex is the focal point (i.e. The Boy) and then if they’re perceptive they’ll notice the words at the bottom. Aha! Those damn gender stereotypes gotcha again! Except no, because the ad literally forces you to read it as “Alex is the boy” by the visual language and lines of sight.Â
A better ad would have been structured from top to bottom instead of left to right, and wouldn’t have pushed the girl, the real subject of the ad (who, by the way, has been VISUALLY PUSHED OUT OF HER RIGHTFUL SPACE ON THE AD BY HER BROTHER) off to the corner as far away from her identifiers as possible.Â
Here, I’ll make you a better ad.
Bam. Shitty stock photo but you get the point. If anyone sees this and assumes Alex is the boy, they don’t have the the ad layout to use as an excuse for their internalized gender shittery. Likewise, the ad isn’t actively trying to make you read it a certain way and THEN making you feel guilty for interpreting it the way they designed it to be.Â
Personal Rant
Really love how my "friends" expect me to be there for them when they talk behind my back and don't even make an effort to further our friendship and then they get mad at me
"I've still never seen you cry" Fun fact: I cried on your shoulder 5 times in the last year
I'm so excited! Finally met with a USCG Auxilary today. Finally getting started
all i want is attention but only from certain people
hyperbole is my favorite literary device i use it like 600 times a day
I’m becoming more silent these days. I’m speaking less and less in public. But my eyes, god damn, my eyes see everything.
