Can't squirt? Can't fuck for hours? Worry that you're not up to pounding someone 'til their brain turns to mush? Can't orgasm easily? Like the idea of dirty stuff but always end up doing vanilla? Inexperienced? Worried about the way your body looks when you're contorted during sex? Feel like you're bad at getting a rhythm when you're on top? Worried your dick isn't big enough? Worried your pussy isn't pretty enough? Not wet enough? Too wet? Are you nervous because everyone else seems to be amazing at deep-throating and you might gag? Haven't been with someone that isn't a different gender to you, but you feel bi/pan? Worried you can't fuck someone again immediately after cumming?

Don't stress yourself. All these feelings are normal. In fact, they're typical. I'd say these anxieties are more common than they are rare.

A lot of people talk in such a way (especially on Tumblr) where they're not clear that they're talking about their fantasies, rather than real and lived experiences.

They're not showing off to you. You're not bad at sex because you feel worried about things or haven't had the courage to try them or suggest them. They're just saying "I like the idea of this thing".

I've had a lot of experience. I've been in long term relationships. I've been promiscuous. Largely speaking, I'm very confident about my sexuality and my sexual prowess. However, the anxieties we have about sex are always there - I've just learned to manage them a little better.

The pressure to perform is a lot. The pressure to know everything and be up for everything is real. A lot of sexual fantasies don't translate into real life at all, but it's fun to fuck around and try. A two second gif of someone getting railed isn't someone getting railed for 3 hours - their hips and knees would give out first - it's all smoke and mirrors.

A three second quickie where you both laugh at the end is always better than some overly dramatic roleplay, trust me.

Just remember that everyone is in the same situation, it's just not very cool to say it out loud. I'm saying it out loud because I don't care if someone thinks I'm uncool because of it.

You're more beautiful than you think. You're better at sex than you think. You're allowed to learn on the job too.

You're doing great, honestly.

Kara Walker — Art21

Art21 is a celebrated global leader in presenting thought-provoking and sophisticated content about contemporary art, and the go-to place to learn first-hand from the artists of our time. A nonprofit organization, Art21’s mission is to inspire a more creative world through the works and words of contemporary artists. Art21 produces the Peabody Award-winning PBS-broadcast series,

Kara Walker was born in Stockton, California, in 1969. She received a BFA from the Atlanta College of Art in 1991, and an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1994. The artist is best known for exploring the raw intersection of race, gender, and sexuality through her iconic, silhouetted figures. Walker unleashes the traditionally proper Victorian medium of the silhouette directly onto the walls of the gallery, creating a theatrical space in which her unruly cut-paper characters fornicate and inflict violence on one another.

William Kentridge

Often drawing from socio-political conditions in post-apartheid South Africa, William Kentridge’s work takes on a form that is expressionist in nature.

William Kentridge was born in 1955 in Johannesburg, South Africa where he currently lives and works. Often drawing from socio-political conditions in post-apartheid South Africa, William Kentridge’s work takes on a form that is expressionist in nature. For Kentridge, the process of recording history is constructed from reconfigured fragments to arrive at a provisional understanding of the past—this act of recording, dismembering and reordering crosses over into an essential activity of the studio. His work spans a diverse range of artistic media such as drawing, performance, film, printmaking, sculpture and painting. Kentridge has also directed a number of acclaimed operas and theatrical productions.

Dear professor,

I will not be completing my homework. I am busy yearning. Thank you.

Sculpture of Ancient Greek Boxer Still Haunts Viewers Today

The beloved ancient Greek sculpture called "The Boxer at Rest," from 330-50 BC, is one of the most realistic of all ancient Greek sculptures

This is my very first flip book. Until my Digital media class, I have not thought about doing one surprisingly. But, the experience  was really worth it. The idea behind the creation of this flip-book came from a class I had last semester. During almost every class, we had a 5-minutes relation period together to better concentrate on the class. Those sessions involved watching vied of objects moving in sequence, listening to sound of nature (meditative sound).

P.S.: Sorry for the talking in the background. I was watching a zoom recording. 😂😂

This is how you eat and drink, yes? This is correct?

Stereocaulon intermedium

My lab mate and I spent wayyy too long today chasing down a lichen ID, and still never reached a firm conclusion. We did, however, get it at least to genus level as a member of Stereocaulon, and since that means I spent a good hour looking at Stereocaulon lichens today, I thought I’d share one with you. S. intermedium has a thin basal thallus and robust psuedopodetia covered in hair-like or bubbly filaments across the pale green, gray, or white surface. Apothecia are found at the ends of the psuedopodetia, and are numerous, bulbous, and reddish-brown to chocolate to black in color. S. intermedium grows on rock in North America and Asia, concentrated around the Bering Strait and the Alpine regions close to the Pacific.
