Ex Voto (San Sebastián) - Ángel Zárraga, 1912. The inscription reads:

LORD, I cannot honor you with complicated verse; but LORD do accept this rudimentary and modest work, which I made with my own mortal hands. Angel ZÁRRAGA

[missalsfromiram-deactivated2020]

Speaking of St. Sebastian, I’ve always been amused by this painting, since it takes the homoerotic subtext of the renaissance/early modern St. Sebastian tradition (already so strong it can barely be called subtext to begin with) and makes it completely explicit, throwing away practically any pretense of depicting a martyrdom. All the arrows are gone, except a single one which lightly pierces Sebastian’s nipple, an erogenous zone. The saint could not possibly be injured seriously, and appears to have gently dozed off. It is clear that the supplicant, whose transparent, tiny veil is as pro forma as the religious iconography of the painting, is not worshiping god, but the object of her physical desire.

The star-studded halo is also something of a departure from Christian tradition.

I am embarrassed by how hard this made me laugh.

some friends of mine have the most un-cat-ish cat i have ever met

my quintessential example of this:

i was holding him in my arms petting him while we were picking out what games to play that night. when we’d decided on a few, i needed to put the cat down in order to, you know, carry boxes. so i started letting him down, expecting that he’d eventually do the cat hop thing… but he never did.

i ended up lowering him all the way to the floor. and even then he never got his feet under him. i just sort of… plopped him down on his side as he stared up at me like a betrayed sack of flour.

I saw this so clearly in my mind and I’m never going to stop laughing at betrayed sack of flour.

Hacker takes down 20% of the dark web in attack on child pornographers

The attack targeted more than 10,000 dark web sites that were selling or sharing child pornography. The dark web is often associated with criminal and illicit activities such as online drug markets.

How big is the dark web, though, really? I mean, 20% of 100 Skittles is 20 Skittles.

[my-i-dont-even-know-mess]

To answer your question, really fucking big. The normal web, which most people use, is TINY compared to the dark web.

One of the most important things you can teach your kids is when and how to say no to authority figures.

[wtfareyoudoingatmytedtalkasshole]

Even more important is to find a way to teach them that anyone with power doesn’t deserve to be trusted

This is literally now my favorite post ever, because its become thousands of reblogs consisting of passing on good fortune. Meanwhile many of y’all added your own comments saying your thanks, and continuing the chain by adding your own little bit of wishful thinking. You are all wonderful.

we are already living in the cyberpunk future and i know this because within a span of 3 days we went from this tweet:

to thousands of people making phony images and replying to them with their passionate desire to have them as a tshirt to overload the bots with nonsense and junk and send out warnings to shoppers like this:

and now we even have people replying to pictures of baby yoda with “i want this on a tshirt” knowing how ravenous disney is being with copyright in hopes to get the stores taken down altogether

i dont know what it is about stuff like this and the whole turn mei into a symbol of hk protesters thing but, its really reassuring for some reason

Freshman year of college I was in a philosophy class and I was giving some sort of group presentation. The prof asked my group “what do you think is your purpose in life?” And none of them really had an answer while I just said “to make the world a better place for those who come after us” because in my mind that’s just the obvious answer. The prof looked kind of taken aback that I just had an answer on the ready and was like “Why? What’s your motivation?”

In that moment I realized I was in front of a lecture hall of privileged students. I was surrounded by people who didn’t know poverty or desperation like I had. I clawed my way here on scholarships while they were legacy kids or trust fund babies. In that moment it clicked in my head that there’s this level of empathy that you can only gain when you have absolutely nothing to lose. A level of empathy that only the impoverished have. A level of empathy that screams out that you have to fight to make things better even if it doesn’t benefit you. It’s a concept that you can only really grasp when you have nothing to lose and the kids before me hadn’t known that pain. They hadn’t developed that kind of empathy.

My only answer that I could give the prof was “Why wouldn’t I?”
