Feeling inspired... Might put off writing and think about it the whole time

It always amazes me what colours and patterns the algae bloom creates. It's a shame they don't last when dried.

People will correctly identify that heteronormativity is a problem in old historiography and then immediately turn around and insist that two people must be having sex based on transgressive social intimacy. Then say something like "because sex is a human need for fulfillment."

Ah if only there was more than one kind of normativity to keep in mind....

[kaiserin-erzsebet]

This isn't exclusive to same sex attraction or love either. Anyone who digs into Empress Elisabeth's writings enough will find pretty clear statements about being apathetic (or disinclination) to physical intimacy and fulfillment from totally separate parts of her life.

We can't assume that people's highest fulfillment comes from having sex with the people they love. I wish we could have more nuance about this.

Browsing deezer's latest releases is despair inducing, you get: mislabelled artist, mislabelled artist, AI slop, actual new release you care about, mislabelled artist, AI slop, AI slop, AI slop puppeteering inactive bands profiles, a band whose very mid 90s album you added to your gothic metal playlist a while ago only to realize with horror that the music, artworks and descriptions on their current bandcamp has zero human involved and is therefore also AI slop

Brooch made from the thigh bone of a WW1 soldier and gifted to his sweetheart

Sergeant Thomas Kitching, who served with the 12th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry, had his left leg shattered when wounded on the Somme on the 7th of July 1916. The brooch, together with a portrait of Sgt Kitching and postcards were sent to his sweetheart Lizzie Hunter, at her Birtley, County Durham address. He survived the war and went on to marry Lizzie in Chester-le-Street, County Durham, shortly after the war ended in 1918.

A very useful tool

🇬🇧 Hello there! I haven't shared my art here in a long time. For my return, I would like to make an offering of this perfectly normal cat inspired by medieval marginalia.

Tumblr's deal with OpenAI in early 2024 left a very sour taste in my mouth. But unlike Instagram which gives me hives in its current form, I still visit here often enough. Let's try this again, shall we?

~~~~ 🇫🇷 Salut la compagnie ! Je n'ai rien partagé ici depuis fort longtemps. Pour mon retour, j'aimerais faire une offrande de ce chat parfaitement normal inspiré par le bestiaire des manuscrits médiévaux.

Le deal que tumblr a passé avec OpenAI en 2024 m'a laissé un goût très amer dans la bouche. Mais, contrairement à Instagram qui me donne des boutons dans sa forme actuelle, je reviens régulièrement par ici. Alors, retentons !

🍓I was nervous painting this because I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get all the details in. I mean ~ I love adding details ~ but I felt like I had met my match with this one 😅

🍓 I pulled out my tiniest brushes and held my breath. I think I pulled it off, what do you think?
