hey guys can you help me find that old portrait of a girl holding a little painting of a naked dude and cracking up about it?? I want to say it’s by Rembrandt but that’s probably not right

[runwildwithme]

It’s “Smiling Girl, a Courtesan, Holding an Obscene Image” by Gerard van Honthorst!!

[charminglyantiquated]

It’s the best painting that exists

[starholic-deactivated20231025]

[charminglyantiquated]

Shit I love Technical Theater

The sound of everyone’s feet on a stage during a black out

when 5 techies go on stage, move a piece and it looks like no one did it

the sound of a smooth fly system

the feel of a screw driver with a newly charged battery 

at the end of an act or a show and the curtains close and ten techies converge on the stage at once to do their job

being able to see in the dark 

the satisfaction of building a piece and seeing it on stage knowing how hard you worked on it

fixing shit the actors break 

the sound of ripping gaf tape

saying jokes into the mic during sound check because ‘Testing 123′ is boring

going to a restaurant at the last show

watching actors cry about never seeing each other again and knowing that you will always be back

getting a cue just right

always wearing black

when a scene change goes faster and smoother than planned 

saving something before anyone notices it’s wrong

watching actors freak out when something goes wrong and being the only person calm enough to fix it 

putting 100% of yourself on stage and no one knows you were there

learning that the best validation can only come from yourself

learning to be creative, quick minded, resourceful, quiet

learning to be humble 

knowing that sometimes you don’t have to be loud to be productive

knowing that you don’t have to be seen to do something incredible

Honestly, everything I learned about being an organizer I learn from theater.

I simultaneously want The Dead Poets Society to be rewriten as a porno, and also think it is sexist af.  Every single female character is blank headed, an object of desire for teenage boys and nothing more.  

[praisebetodionysus]

Also the puck character is hella rapey.  Makes out with a girl while she is pasted out and get’s beaten up by her boyfriend.  Accosts her in school, won’t leave her alone despite her obvious discomfort.  

And all this is normalized as a normal teenage behavior.

sharing because i’m curious.

“Examples:

Atleast one of your "Grandcestors” was allowed to attend college, and that privilege was passed down subsequent generations.

Someone in your family owns a house.

Someone in your family owns a business.

Someone in your family has had a car passed down to them.

Someone in your family has received a large sum of money from a death/inheritance.

Your family has always had a car and/or reliable transportation. A vehicle repair/breakdwown wouldn’t derail your families livelihood or finances.

If you lost your job and had no money you’d have a parent or relative that could temporarily house you without compromising their lease. You’re not likely to be homeless.

You’ve ever gotten a job by family networks.

Your last name is yours, and not the family that once owned your ancestors. Your family name is established and has influence (i.e. Kennedy etc)

You know exactly what country/region/village your ancestors are from.

People in your family have traveled and you have been allowed to travel thanks to your family.“

My mom had me by herself and we were on welfare for many years.  Her parents were not wealthy, they were a postal worker and a nurse, but lived the a comfortable middle class life.  They have given my mother multiple cars, furniture, babysitting, and loans over the years.  Their comfortable financial situation was a buffer to my mother’s poverty and has directly helped my mother find her current financial stability.
