"I can't believe humans would hunt the thylacine to extinction, humans are fundamentally evil" Hey, did you know that extinction was long thought to be impossible, and within 50 years of humans realizing that extinction via overhunting was a possibility it practically stopped happening? Did you know that humans are so desperate to prevent more losses that they're funneling millions of collective hours and billions of euros into helping other species? Hours and euros that could be spent on humans, and species on whom humanity's own survival does not depend? Did you know that due to an accidental introduction of rats, the Lord Howe Island stick insect population was brought down to 24 individuals and now there are tens of thousands of them?

This bug. This bug that, to most humans, is utterly useless, relatively gross, and completely foreign. Humans saved it because humans do not want to cause another extinction ever again if they can avoid it.

"Ashamed of his monstrous form, the Beast concealed himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his twenty-first year. If he could learn to love another and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast?" BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1991)

New York City ballet production of Midsummer Nights Dream

The fact this isn't a painting is a testament to one of the greatest feats of set design and production I've ever seen.

[thepeelingrenoir]

My god just look at this! The lighting, set design, photography... I've just never seen anything like it.

This is from 1966 and you can see over a hundred photos on the NYPL digital collections website. It is absolutely gorgeous. These are just a few of my favourites.

crazy how clint eastwood by gorillaz is like, certainly amongst the top 100 songs of the noughties considering it is, on paper, a song by a fake cartoon band where del tha funkee homosapien raps about how he’s a ghost possessing the band’s fake cartoon drummer over a beat which is literally a yamaha keyboard’s dub preset

fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes

May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

"I didn't raise you to be..." Didn't you? Didn't you raise me by example and punishment to be the product of my upbringing that I am now? Did you raise me "right" or did you just tell me not to do things and then do them in front of me?

"I raised you to be..." Did you, though? Did you actually demonstrate those positive qualities with your own behavior? Or did you just tell me what to do while having double standards?

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (2005)

[natalieironside]

I still can't believe that Tommy "Karate" Pitera, the mafia boss who was also a karate champion and who killed people by doing karate on them, was a real person. That's not a combination of traits a real guy has. That is a Metal Gear character. That is Chuck Norris playing the heel in a Bruce Lee movie. But no, there was a time not that long ago when people on the mean streets of Brooklyn might whisper "Hey, watch out for Tommy Karate, he'll kill you with his bare hands" with the gravest seriousness.

[garbage-empress]

Was he the one who was also basically a serial killer and grossed the other mafia guys out because of how much he seemed to enjoy dismembering people

[sign-seeker]

This sent me on a wiki crawl, and I cannot believe some of this. I assumed "Tommy Karate, gangster from Brooklyn" would have been some kind of self-aggrandisement but no, he kicked so much arse at a New York dojo as a youth that he won a scholarship to live in Tokyo studying at a famous historical dojo, where he lived for over 2 years, perfecting the art of beating people to death with his bare hands. He apparently was legitimately just that good at Karate. And I say was, but he's still alive! He was only arrested in 1990! Within my lifetime this lunatic was killing people with Karate in New York City and dumping their dismembered corpses in Staten Island!

[sign-seeker]

Oh my apologies to mass murderer Tommy "Karate" Pitera, who despite the nickname actually studied Togakure-Ryu Ninjutsu in Tokyo. We wouldn't want to be inaccurate with regards to the ninja gangster, now would we.

the average runway model should be fat because the point of fashion runways is to show off the clothing, and fat people wear larger sizes, which makes it easier for the audience to see and appreciate the designs. follow me for more blindingly obvious facts of life

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

this isn't a shitpost bc I'm dead serious. though actually there shouldn't be an “average” model size there should be multiple body types to show the designer knows what they're DOING. if your "haute couture" only works on stick figures then you aren't designing fashion you are playing with dolls.

if u can't design flattering fits for multiple body types then maybe just go work for Mattel? barbie always needs new outfits
