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

cassiocantdrink

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…

Asa should have been a bundle of nerves on their first date. But barely five minutes in, Anthony had him belly laughing and before he knew it they were exchanging embarrassing personal stories and he felt more at ease with the dashing professor than he ever had with another person, let alone someone he'd just met.

The first lull in their conversation didn't happen until they were well into their second drink, and Asa absent-mindedly found himself reaching out to fiddle with the candle in the middle of their table at the same time as Anthony and their fingers touched. Instead of withdrawing, Anthony let his fingertips linger on top of Asa's in an unexpected sensual moment which was positively electric.

Any remaining doubt in Asa's mind was nullified there and then. He fancied Anthony and Anthony clearly fancied him too.

So this was how it felt to fall in love.

btw, i live in an area that is mostly accepting of trans people so I'll talk a little about what basic respect looks like.

people don't ask for my deadname. cis men flirt with me. cis lesbians flirt with me. I'm not excluded from hanging out with people. people don't ask about my genitals. people compliment my appearance. a religious cis man from a culture where men pay for the women paid for my dinner because he was the man. I'm visibly transfem. i do not hide it. i am treated as a woman without asking to be.

transsexual-feminism

This is transfeminism!

this is also why if someone comes up to you and asks if so and so is working right now, your answer is, "I don't know."

not yes, not no. your answer is "I don't know." do not offer to check, do not offer any kind of information. your answer is "I don't know."

"Call him out openly!"

The point. Is not. To call him out. The point is to protect the woman.

,,As Linus whispered words of calm and peace, Arthur sank into the storm and let it blow him away."

I drew my favourite scene from Somewhere Beyond the Sea! I was sobbing through the entire book but this scene in particular got me feeling things. I love them a whole lot :,).

"The House In The Cerulean Sea" Quote Art

"You're too precious to put into words. I think...it's like one of Theodore's buttons. If you asked him why he cared about them so, he would tell you it's because they exist at all." -The House In The Cerulean Sea By T.J. Klune The year has been heavy with so much uncertainty and fear, and drawing has always been my way of sharing love. As we step onto a new one, let’s embrace kindness. No matter what lies ahead, remember we can always choose to love and share small moments of happiness.

✨The house in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune ✨ I found it to be a lovely and fun story. Throughout the year, I hadn’t read many books with children in them, so it was a refreshing and a-do-ra-ble change 💜.

I read this book with my book club 📚, and it was so hard to choose a favorite character 😩. The best part is that the delulu will continue because I already have the second part in my hands!

🎨 Part 1 of 3 sketches for this amazing story ✨

Linus describing himself: oh my god I’m so sweaty and overweight and I have a stain on my shirt and-

Arthur describing Linus: he has the prettiest smile and a cute little wrinkle in his forehead when he’s worried.

My favourite headcanon, which many of us seem to agree on, is that Anthony walks past the bookshop several times before gathering the courage to step in. --- So that's why Derek was so sure Anthony likes Asa. 🤣 --- @goodomensafterdark

He met young Sam coming the other way as he headed for the cells. The boy's face was white in the gloom.

"Found anyone?" said Vimes.

"Oh, sarge..."

"Yes?"

"Oh, sarge...sarge..." Tears were running down the lance-constable's face.

Vimes reached out and steadied himself. Sam felt as though there were no bones left in his body. He was trembling.

"There's a woman in the last cell, and she...sarge...oh, sarge..."

"Try taking deep breaths," said Vimes. "Not that this air is fit to breathe."

"And there's a room right at the end, sarge...oh, sarge...Nancyball fainted again, sarge..."

"You didn't," said Vimes, patting him gently on the back.

"But there's –"

"Let's rescue what we can, shall we, lad?"

"But we were on the hurry-up wagon, sarge!"

"What?" said Vimes, and then it dawned. Oh yes...

"But we didn't hand anyone over, lad," he said. "Remember?"

"But I've been on it before, sarge! All the lads have! We just handed people over and went back to the Watch House for cocoa, sarge!"

"Well, you'd had orders..." said Vimes, for what good that did.

"We didn't know!"

Not exactly, thought Vimes. We didn't ask. We just shut out minds to it. People went in through the front door and some of the poor devils came out through the secret door, not always in one box.

They hadn't measured up.

Nor did we.
