RIP Anthony Stewart Head (1954 - 2026)
(Manet’s Bar at the Folies-Bergere (Getty Center Exhibitions)から)
[…] the conversation that many have assumed was transpiring between the barmaid and gentleman is revealed to be an optical trick—the man stands outside the painter’s field of vision, to the left, and looks away from the barmaid, rather than standing right in front of her. The barmaid’s frontality is also deceptive. Rather than standing parallel to the bar and looking straight ahead, she stands slightly askance, facing the offset viewpoint.
Most ironically, the reflected edge of the bar, which in an offset view would tilt more acutely to the right, is revealed to be a visual decoy, leading us to believe that the vanishing point lies directly behind the barmaid. Thus, the paintings most obvious perspectival clue turns out to be its most subversive perspectival violation.

i am creating another post for samah @0ammarfmily once more as we have figured out the rough rate of fees for the gofundme campaign method we are using to transfer money to samah, and i thought it would be useful to have this listed
samah’s original campaign and account are shared by 90-ghost, but it was shut down as her organiser’s bank account was deactivated
proof samah asked me to use my paypal / ko-fi account here
starryeyedgiant is the ko-fi link used to raise funds for ammar's weekly digoxin injection - he needs this on time every week by 4 pm tuesday samah's time, or he will need a more intensive $3k+ injection in addition to this one to avoid his heart giving out - in total requiring $5k+
currently, because it is winter, he also needs another immune globulin injection to keep his immunity up and protect him from winter illnesses
we have consistently failed to meet this deadline, and recently this has been getting even worse. almost no one has been donating, forcing more and more costs to incur - first the night time travel, then one for IV fluids, then one for an injection resuscitating him so he doesn't fall into a coma
we were given a final deadline yesterday where ammar would have lost consciousness and we wouldn't have been able to give him another injection. if that hadn't been paid, he probably would have died
and now, we are starting with $0 to cushion us for next week. i am very worried about him, and if people are going to let him die.

samah's gofundme campaign is focusing on raising the money for purchasing passports so that she and ammar may leave for egypt. samah was able to find a deal that lets her have a passport for both ammar and herself at once for $10k in cash
this will let her finally get him the heart surgery he desperately needs - as mentioned, the digoxin is only a temporary measure and the longer ammar is on it, the more it will also damage his heart. he can't take the injection for much longer
unfortunately, as mentioned, we have figured out the rates for what the bank is taking in fees when we send the money, and it means we need roughly $4k more than before to make up for what is lost
thus, the goal is now higher
edit: the goal is now higher again by $265.60 as samah was forced to use $239.70 from her bank to pay back a doctor. we only received $27.20 to make up for that, and therefore the total has changed from $30,791
and now it is higher again, as samah was forced to use $168.60 from the bank to pay back iv fluid costs no one else was willing to pay for. we only received $34 to return it, and therefore we need $168.20 to be added to the total
and for the third week in a fucking row, it is higher. samah had to use $71.16 from the bank to pay for the immune globulin injection, because this time no one even cared enough to raise money for this, and therefore we need $88.95 added to the total
$12,048 / $31,314
I’m here raising funds for my friend Samah whose son Ammar was born three m… Macy Boulahcaine needs your support for Help Samah and Ammar Fi
samah requires an inhaler in order to breathe properly, and without it has much difficulty doing so, leaving her very ill. previously she was able to freely obtain it from charities, but there has been no stock available recently
we are raising money for this on systemprotocol, as this is something we are uncertain if we will be able to obtain without money, and she needs it very badly - she is the only one capable of taking care of her husband and ammar, so being sick is extremely bad for her
one inhaler lasts her for 15-20 days and is $148 in cash - this is $417 after fees. i have set the goal for two of them as per her request, making it $810, but just one is sufficient for her
if she doesn't get this in time once she runs out, she will be forced to take a cortisone injection, which at $300 in cash is $845 total

adopts for donating
pwyw commissions for donating
the current cash conversion fee is 45%, with the paypal fee being 32%. everything is thus priced accordingly. breakdowns for prices are under the cut
$0 / $2540
$13,118 / $31,314
after almost 3 whole weeks, we finally were able to once again raise the full amount of ammar's weekly needs, and samah + her family were able to evacuate the hospital and return home after the urgent danger of israel threatening and bombing it
i also see that we were able to raise money for the gofundme campaign in the interim, and i'm quite grateful for that
we still need to raise $18,196 more to be able to buy a passport for samah and ammar, which is unfortunately quite a lot, but i hope small and steady donations will be able to raise this amount with patience
$29 / $2540
we now only have the final day left after today, and as always i will make the post for it on that day. i am rather worried as we currently do not have much raised in preparation for it, i hope we can raise what we need in time
rest in peace to this diva
I WANT TO WRITE MY STORIES!!!!!!!!!!!! -> continues doing literally Anything Else besides writing
This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:
If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.
This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace
everyone who reblogs this and is like "I ordered my own tea this week" or "I only barfed once when I had to give a presentation'- you are doing amazing sweetie. Have patience with yourself, you are relearning a skill so difficult that people get 4 year degrees to do it professionally.
Stephen Vollo (American) - Strainer, Paintings: Oil on Canvas on Panel
I used to have that exact strainer. It was in a box of hand-me-down kitchen things from my grandmother when I got my first apartment in 1996. It broke last year.
Anyway, this is a painting.
This is the best strainer in the world and i check the housewares aisle in every thrift store I visit hoping to find another one. No strainer has ever been able to live up to this icon, this superstar, this vision of grace and elegance.
It’s the two-quart Tupperware colander. The handle is large and sturdy but still comfortable to hold in your hand. The ridge on the end helps it fit on any size pot you need to rest it over. The little feet at the bottom let you drain directly into the sink without leaving the contents sitting in a puddle. It’s got a spout on both sides so you can pour comfortably from the left or right hand, towards or away from yourself as needed. The holes are at the bottom so you can control where strained liquids flow, large enough to drain quickly, small enough to keep from losing bits of food through them. The bright yellow colour is easy to spot in the back of a cupboard or dishwasher.
I am passionate about this specific strainer in a way that I am not passionate about anything else in my life. I would run back into a burning building to rescue this strainer. This strainer is my go-to wedding or housewarming gift. This strainer is my beloved family member. I have shared more meals with this strainer than I have with anyone else in my life. This strainer has never, ever let me down. It is the most perfectly designed item I have ever seen or handled in my life. Every aspect of this strainer is made to maximize convenience and functionality. It is flawless, a form of complete and total perfection. If you told me this strainer was the face of God, recreated on Earth in Their image, I would believe you.
Anyway, this is the best painting I’ve ever seen and they should take down the Mona Lisa so there’s an appropriate space to hang it in the Louvre.
Thank you for that eloquent review to go along with this impressive painting!
If anyone else is inspired to look up the two-quart Tupperware colander, I'll save you a few keystrokes. Amazon has in stock (in several colors, no less). I imagine some other stores do as well.
Anyways, I already have two metal colanders that make a horrible mess every time they're used, and I'm gonna buy myself a blue one of these. Thanks!
i’ll see a man with long hair and remember i’m not above temptations of the flesh
one of my favorite types of media to experience is stuff that i know in another lifetime i would have been absolutely obsessed with as a kid/teen. going through something as an adult and being like yeah that was pretty good. however if this had made its way to me when i was 12 years old it would have fundamentally altered me and i hope it's fundamentally altering some other 12 year old out there right now. that's the good stuff.
Once upon a time there were three very different little girls who grew up to be three very different women with three things in common: they're brilliant, they're beautiful, and they work for me. My name is Charlie.

Happy pride to those 5 seconds where Charlie Swan thought Jacob was coming out to him in the most insane way possible
month starting on a monday we have no excuse guys lets get to work and lock the fuck in
yk its actually very chic and avant garde to start on tuesday the second
many claim theres nothing more subversive and revolutionary than starting on wednesday the third
there are simply no words in the english language that can describe starting on thursday the fourth. thats how iconic it is
choosing to start on friday the fifth. i just think its very inspiring
lets all kill ourselves
i bet it feels good as fuck to intend to do something and then actually do it
idk if this is an usamerican thing or not but it always blows my mind as a small european country resident that yall have many names and types of apples???? what do you mean its not just red yellow or green??? why is it so complicated??? who is granny smith????
