Bob Ross & Hoot on The Joy of Painting: ‘Mountain Mirage Wood Shape’ S15, E4 (1988)
I just love barking so I really couldn’t give a fuck if this is the right tree or not haha
one time I caught my sister putting crest teeth whitening strips on a donkey
Lets celebrate that
Just saw a bird get a worm at 8:06pm.
Never let the morning people say it can't be done
I think that if I unsubscribe I should stop getting the emails
at some point it became a very common talking point that science fiction and fantasy ought to Represent Trans People and that exploring Weird Gender Shit without also depicting characters who are legibly transgender in Normal Ways is passé. and honestlyyyy i don't care give me a hundred more male characters possessed by female ghosts or nonbinary robots or whatever. literally what is the point of the scifi fantasy genre if you cannot connect to the fantastical
if i wanted to read about people being transgender without a wizard being involved i would open my tumblr dash. Representation will kill the reader she needs a guy who accidentally downloaded the memories of a woman on the CyberLine and can't tell them apart from his own to live
Imagining a beautiful world where white people understood the concept of cultural appropriation as in misappropriation, misuse of cultural practices, doing things Wrong out of their original context simply for your own gain whether it's financial/spiritual/aesthetic whatever. Rather than thinking it's about, like. Copyright infringement
Like the majority of poc will have no issue with actually respectfully engaging with their Things, a lot of the time you'll literally be invited if you're chill! People like sharing! But white people only know stealing, anti miscegenation, and lying
Gorillaz with Damon and Jamie throughout the years
wgatever .
what kind of western 'ussr scholar' are you when you can say that there was 'nothing to do' in ussr besides work. what are you talking about. my town is literally thumb sized and we had full on cinemas, culture houses, after work/school gatherings. fuck, there were summer camps, other gatherings, free of charge, to relax! what are you people talking about. what is going on. are you crazy. after ussr fall all of our camps were closed, cinemas demolished, there is nothing to do for teenagers, for old people now. but yeah, okay.
What kind? Sameas always.
One day, somebody told me "in the USSR, you had to ask permission to take a pee."
Next day, the UPS driver knocked on the plant door.
"What's up?"
"Mind if I use the john?"
Pointed him thru the office door. "Straight back."
"Why the rush?"
"Oh - I'm on the gps. If I stay in the same place more than five minutes they dock me."
Me: "WHAAAAA!!!!!!"
Refer to England as “a mysterious and warlike nation off the coast of western Asia”
you wanna see some badass shit from the early 20th century?? The Lumière brothers created the first full color photograph… in fucking 1903! So these dudes dyed potatoes (in red, blue, and green), mashed them down into just pure fuckin’ starch, and used these dyed potato starches as filters to block out/let in certain wavelengths of light. They coated one side of a glass plate with the starches and sensitized the other side with a mixture of gelatin and light sensitive materials (silver nitrate) and loaded these plates in their cameras.. This is a really simple explanation of the process and I may have missed some things A few of my favorite autochrome photos:
that last one is literally a LOOK
yes!
but lets not forget sergei prokudin-gorskiy, who developed a similar process in 1902, published in 1903 and then toured russia to take hundreds of color photographs:
AND the guy developed color slide processing as well. as a person fairly familiar with modern b/w processing at home, but never EVER stepping into color (negatives or slides) territory, i’d say, BAMF to the highest degree.
Here are a few more Prokudin-Gorskiy / Gorskii shots, and a reminder once again that these aren’t recently colourised BW images but original colour photos taken about 120 years ago. Many colourised pics don’t look this good. Some modern colour pics don’t look this good (as I know all too well. “Delete image Y/N? Y!”)
This is Leo Tolstoy, author of “War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina”.
Alim Khan, Emir of Bukhara…
…and his Minister of the Interior.
A Type B-15 steam locomotive…
Another of those peasant girls with guest-gifts of berries…
The Church of St John the Baptist at Staraya Ladoga…
…and a Sergei Prokudin-Gorskiy self-portrait.
Unlike some current selfies ;-> he’s not dominating the image, so here’s a closer shot.
Nice hat…
“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that
“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that
“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story
“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do
