A wedding photographer took this picture from a rooftop to get a bird’s eye view of a wedding in progress. Something seemed odd about the balcony in the top right portion of the photograph.
This is what the photographer found when they zoomed in.
Zoomed out picture for extra creeps
what the actual fuck
The one on the right staring directly at the camera just adds a whole other level of ‘fucking no’ to this
Life goals
These ancient mosaic fragments, slightly submerged in the sea, can be found on a deserted stretch of minor road on the East coast of the Greek mainland, untended, unsignposted, unnoticed.

honestly like low income people know when theyre eating unhealthy food and its so patronizing to pretend that theyre just ‘uneducated’, there is really nobody out there thinking a big mac is healthy, it’s just that choices are limited and life is hard enough without preparing several time & labor intensive meals as an hourly worker
it’s like a garden from a fairytale
Symmetric Top-Down Photographs by Martin Reisch Inspired by Nintendo Games of the 80’s
Always curious to know what was hiding behind big buildings or beyond a thick forest, Martin Reischstarted to photograph landscapes from above with his drone. That’s how he discovered interest in symmetry and a similarity with old designs of Nintendo games where the view was looking down from above. Strangely, taking pictures from that point of you could be very much like a game of the 80’s.
My whole problem with the “I do makeup for ME! I’m EMPOWERED when I put on makeup!” discourse is that it completely erases the fact that women aren’t actually given the ability to MAKE that choice. It’s impossible to say that you’re doing it for self empowerment, or that “if it wasn’t so much fun I wouldn’t do it” because that’s just not true. Women who enjoy doing their makeup and women who don’t enjoy doing it both have equal pressure to wear makeup. Whether you enjoy the process or not, you will be taken less seriously as a woman, valued less, respected less, considered ‘unprofessional’ at work, etc. if you choose not to wear makeup. Men aren’t faced with the decision to get an extra hour of sleep or to be taken seriously. By writing it off as a cool empowering fun thing women do as an exciting entertaining hobby we’re just…. erasing the entire institution of makeup and of beauty standards that seriously harm women. If you enjoy doing makeup that’s great, that’s fine, and you should keep it up! But wearing makeup in the first place wasn’t ever your choice. We don’t GET a choice. I hate people saying “oh you don’t have to wear it! If you don’t like makeup don’t put it on!” As if I’m expected to just be cool with the way the world will treat me if I don’t conform to modern beauty standards! If you’re worrying about your eyebrows or lip plumpness or skin tone evenness that’s not you making a free willed cool decision to feel insecure and concerned about facial features that men never have to think twice about. That’s you thinking in a way you’ve been trained to think! And people wanna pretend that putting on makeup is Empowering… what the hell is empowering about making a choice that’s been forced on us since we were old enough to be seen as sexual objects lmfao… that’s bullshit that doesn’t empower me and having to give up valuable time and money and energy that men are never asked to give up makes me feel like shit!! It makes me miserable! It makes me dread every single morning because I know I’m gonna be putting forward all this bullshit labor just to exist and be taken seriously in my stupid body
A+ post. I would like to add, as well, that this sudden emergence of make up being cool and empowering for women comes directly from make up companies and Sephora, in particular. When I worked at Sephora they told us, in a hundred different and equally veiled ways, that the trick to getting people to buy something is to make them want it. When you need something you become restricted by the thing, but when you want something you’re exercising your free will. We were told we were “celebrating beauty” and making people comfortable in their own skin but in reality we were slinging $30 concealers at 15 year old girls who don’t understand that the skin around their eyes is thinner and therefore always darker. We were pushing eyeliner and mascara in “fun” colors to get young girls into make up under the guise of self expression. And the women who worked with me would go on and on about how their make up ritual was for them and how it was their “war paint” but then they would confess they felt uncomfortable leaving the house without a full face on. Most annoying to me was the short lived emergence of the naturally flawless skin trend. When I started at Sephora the trend was matte everything, full coverage foundation and strong controuring. It was a lot of make up to wear everyday and when summer came there was the biggest swing I’ve ever seen in trends where girls wanted BB creams and sheer foundations, no contouring, just the bare bones. From that we noticed a lot of people coming in for skincare. There were girls walking through the store with huge water bottles asking for sunscreen and face washes and Sephora was having NONE of that. It felt like a step in the right direction, taking care of your skin, protecting it from the sun, drinking water, and most importantly, it felt like the trends we’re moving away from “cover your flaws” to more of a self-care aspect (I’m very aware that the same motivations were behind the skincare trend but it wasn’t as sinister feeling). Sephora soon came out with the Celebrating Beauty focus where we were supposed to push the empowering effects of make up to people who weren’t in the store for make up. “Oh I see you’re buying a face wash for dry skin; let me show you this foundation that hydrates and gives a natural glow.” The goal was to get people buy make up in large quantities, not skin care. Sephora actively quashed teen girls’ attempts to take a step in the right direction by telling them make up is empowering. They are financially invested in the belief that make up is empowering.
damn this addition that was added to my post from my main blog… great commentary from someone who has actually worked in the industry and seen the way it works to harm women first hand
Anyways……. time to sabotage myself
good news!!! ive successfully replaced all of my emotions with jokes

I hate ! Modern architecture with plastic windows and fake red brick. The houses and different council buildings near me aren't nice, no features and it makes me upset. Can you show me some new architecture that will change my mind ? Thank you 🙌🏻
Brick will only look fake if it is trying to imitate architecture form other eras, here are some examples of brick used in contemporary residential and office structures that demonstrate the material’s versatility:
Villa Moerkensheide Dieter De Vos Architecten
Tate Modern Switch House Herzog & de Meuron
Cubo House PHOOEY Architects
Termeh Building Farshad Mehdizadeh and Ahmad Bathaei

sistar’s disbanding and i hope everyone will remember how iconic this girl group was…… they were never quiet, they spoke up about the specific injustices girl groups face, they dismissed people trying to pit them against another girl group, they were part of 2 legitimate LGBT mv’s (not queerbating), a variety show host said he was scared of them because of their “intimidating” presence (aka, they dont take any shit), they warned a rookie girl group member to be cautious of boy group members, bora always made her juniors at starship feel at home by bringing them cake or food or being part of their activities, hyolyn never feared speaking her mind or being brash despite it not being whats expected from girl groups, dasom played a main character in k.will’s “please don’t” mv which is about a gay man, and soyou (who is a fitness enthusiast) continues to remind people not to equate their beauty with the number of their weight. sistar are absolute legends, and i thank them for everything theyve done. ill never forget them.
