literally most things that people write off as just ‘textures’ to use in graphics are stolen & unsourced material created by artists or photographers NOT meant to be used as elements in projects without royalty payments. you can say ‘it’s just random tumblr posts they don’t care’ but you wouldn’t want someone to take your work and edit into their work so they can be praised for their beautiful style and creativity even if they just post it on social media w/o profit, would you?? so maybe if you browse pinterest or google images for pictures without finding the original source, you’re using images that you’re not allowed to use without realizing it.
you see it on here a lot especially in (i won’t link anything but i’m sure you know what i mean) those album track ‘aesthetics’ posts, au ‘aesthetic’ posts (you see these less in kpop, but where people use non-royalty free images to kinda craft a visual au), and even just rather typical graphics that have a lot of ‘texture’ elements. and texture packs too!! that’s often where the problem starts; people just collect images (often literal art), compile them in a folder w/o sources, then insist no one can repost those images w/o crediting the person who compiled them. what???
SO may i suggest some of my fave places you can get FREE, ROYALTY-FREE elements that are totally legal to use
creativemarket has 6 free high-quality resources (textures, brushes, fonts, etc), different every week! wow awesome i check it every week
search ‘freebie’ on behance. awesome stuff!!! lots of v nice templates textures and fonts
mockup zone freebies
unsplash: tons of very nice free photographs, not shitty stock photos
pexels: same idea. + they have an adobe plugin so you can get photos without closing your editor damn nice
pixelsquid is a super cool free program (again w a ps plugin that i love) with lottts of super cool hq 3d elements!
as to not make this too long: spoongraphics, lostandtaken (textures galore), pixeden, freebiesbug.
I’m gonna add a few more:
Morguefile is my favorite free stock photo site
Texturemate is full of excellent free textures, brushes, and patterns.
Transparent Textures actually lets you combine colors and patterns to build your own texture right there in the browser.
Hey guys! I’m a sort of designer enthusiast/hobbyist and I do my fair share of freelancing, so overtime I’ve accumulated a list as well which I would love to share with you.
Freepik has anything from textures to layered psds, icons and so much more that is actually free to use.
Unsplash is a community of photographers which provides daily content that you can use! You don’t have to credit them but you should. They’re amazing.
Icons8 is basically a library of icons and icon sets, they have a little over 60,000 icons for you to choose from.
The Pattern Library is a very generous project of Julien Renvoye, he’s basically created a library of amazing seamless patterns/textures you can use.
here is a compilation of some of my favorite resources, workbooks & apps for people who cannot afford going to therapy, but would like to improve themselves in any way:
therapistaid has many, many worksheets for skills from dbt and even a self care assesment!
cbt worksheets from psychologytools.
coping skills for anger, managing difficult thoughts, getting better sleeping habits, etc.
mental health resources for kids & teens.
DBT skills training (pdf)
DBT skills workbook (pdf)
wysa app offers a wide range of skills, from a personalized AI chat where you can vent to a compilation of your emergency contacts. (only available on google play as of feb 2021)
sanvello app (google play + app store) allows you to track your progress, identify which self care habits you need to improve and guives you monthly reports of your overall state.
feel free to add more!
i made my first uquiz, and it is regrettably a tumblr history exam. this counts for 30% of your final grade so make it count
Listen to the sound of wikipedia
This is a way to listen to changes to wikipedia. You are literally listening to knowledge being added to the world.
Pluck sounds are an addition, strings are subtractions, and the pitch says how how big the edit is. My heart shudders at this I love it so much.
This is so relaxing.
I COULD LISTEN TO THIS FOR HOURS THANKS
the narrative screaming out in pain as its bones are bent and broken to fit the elites
Is there any sort of rights movements or organizations that fight for the rights of minors?
Because they have.. little to none, in the U.S. at least. When I was a minor I was incredibly frustrated about this, and I'm still frustrated about it. I try to help teenagers but I can't give them anything or any sort of resources because they can't legally use them without parent consent.
And even with this issue, this huge issue, I never see ageism addressed in this manner.
Like guys
Minors don't even own their own property under the law. Not being able to vote yet paying government taxes from paychecks is one thing, but if you buy something with money from your own job, it belongs to your parents.
As someone who has survived abuse as a teenager, this used to piss me off and still pisses me off.
have you ever noticed you pick up little habits and phrases from the people you love? it’s no wonder our hearts are so easily broken when people leave. we become a reflection of the people that we care about and those personality traits stick with us even if the people don’t
I make my ramen the way a friend taught me in eleventh grade. Every fall, I listen to a playlist made for me by a boy I drove across a border to hook up with. I eat sushi because a girl who won’t talk to me anymore made me try it, and Indian food because my best friend’s parents ordered for me before I knew what I liked. There are movies I love because someone I loved loved them first. I am a mosaic of everyone I’ve ever loved, even for a heartbeat.
no offense but your animal welfare activism is useless if you don't extend the same compassion towards human beings
#if your vegan alternatives are making life hell for people in developing countries living on poverty wages#fuck you very much
The fact the Black Mamba is the most deadly snake in the world continues to be hilarious to me
you think you know what an incredibly venomous snake looks like? wrong! it’s this bitch
are you seriously telling me it’s not even black
@dragon-in-a-fez The inside of their mouth is black and shaped like a coffin when open, which makes it very goth and cool, but otherwise they do look like very bland noodles lol
COFFIN WHAT NOW
THIS SNAKE IS LITERALLY BULLYING ME INTO LAUGHING AT THEIR JOKES
people have pointed out that the belly scales on both pics look like bad video game rendering
okay but have you seen the Blunt Headed tree snake??? cause that one is even funnier
it is a spaghetti noodle with a head
Do you guys know about the Arabian Sand Boa
that looks like someone tried to reconstruct a snake from memory
if we’re talking about ridiculous looking snakes check out the elephant trunk snake
wet socks
seeing tiktok kinnies saying like "omg on tumblr ppl would say they were plantkin and shit lol how weird" listen here bakugo those are your ANCESTORS the ORIGINAL kinnies show them some respect
this is so beautiful especially given the state of the piano and where it’s left,, how they gave it life again and also the song choice i cried watching this yeah
[Transcript:]
“Dancing in The Moonlight” by King Harvest sung and performed on the piano. Some laughter and chatter in the background.
video description: an upright piano is upside down in a clearing full of foliage. A man is lying on his back on the ground and reaching up to play the song on the keys.

I might just be incredibly tired, but hot take: Michael Bublé's cover of Santa Baby "Santa Buddy" is the closest he has come to making an artistic statement. Like. He doesn't write his own solos: someone else writes them and he learns them off and as such he's widely disparaged by jazz musicians. But at least in Santa Buddy... he's saying something original. What he's saying is "I am absolutely Not fucking Santa" but it's something. It's a take on the work that is his own. And it makes me absolutely furious, which is An Emotional Response To Art. Which is more than I can say about any of the soulless saccharine pablum that usually drips from his grinning maw. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
Here it is folks:
My definitive ranking of my least favorite bodies of water! These are ranked from least to most scary (1/10 is okay, 10/10 gives me nightmares). I’m sorry this post is long, I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this.
The Great Blue Hole, Belize
I’ve been here! I have snorkeled over this thing! It is terrifying! The water around the hole is so shallow you can’t even swim over the coral without bumping it, and then there’s a little slope down, and then it just fucking drops off into the abyss! When you’re over the hole the water temperature drops like 10 degrees and it’s midnight blue even when you’re right by the surface. Anyway. The Great Blue Hole is a massive underwater cave, and its roughly 410 feet deep. Overall, it’s a relatively safe area to swim. It’s a popular tourist attraction and recreational divers can even go down and explore some of the caves. People do die at the Blue Hole, but it is generally from a lack of diving experience rather than anything sinister going on down in the depths. My rating for this one is 1/10 because I’ve been here and although it’s kinda freaky it’s really not that bad.
Lake Baikal, Russia
When I want to give myself a scare I look at the depth diagram of this lake. It’s so deep because it’s not a regular lake, it’s a Rift Valley, A massive crack in the earth’s crust where the continental plates are pulling apart. It’s over 5,000 feet deep and contains one-fifth of all freshwater on Earth. Luckily, its not any more deadly than a normal lake. It just happens to be very, very, freakishly deep. My rating for this lake is a 2/10 because I really hate looking at the depth charts but just looking at the lake itself isn’t that scary.
Jacob’s Well, Texas
This “well” is actually the opening to an underwater cave system. It’s roughly 120 feet deep, surrounded by very shallow water. This area is safe to swim in, but diving into the well can be deadly. The cave system below has false exits and narrow passages, resulting in multiple divers getting trapped and dying. My rating is a 3/10, because although I hate seeing that drop into the abyss it’s a pretty safe place to swim as long as you don’t go down into the cave (which I sure as shit won’t).
The Devil’s Kettle, Minnesota
This is an area in the Brule River where half the river just disappears. It literally falls into a hole and is never seen again. Scientists have dropped in dye, ping pong balls, and other things to try and figure out where it goes, and the things they drop in never resurface. Rating is 4/10 because Sometimes I worry I’m going to fall into it.
Flathead Lake, Montana
Everyone has probably seen this picture accompanied by a description about how this lake is actually hundreds of feet deep but just looks shallow because the water is so clear. If that were the case, this would definitely rank higher, but that claim is mostly bull. Look at the shadow of the raft. If it were hundreds of feet deep, the shadow would look like a tiny speck. Flathead lake does get very deep, but the spot the picture was taken in is fairly shallow. You can’t see the bottom in the deep parts. However, having freakishly clear water means you can see exactly where the sandy bottom drops off into blackness, so this still ranks a 5/10.
The Lower Congo River, multiple countries
Most of the Congo is a pretty normal, if large, River. In the lower section of it, however, lurks a disturbing surprise: massive underwater canyons that plunge down to 720 feet. The fish that live down there resemble cave fish, having no color, no eyes, and special sensory organs to find their way in the dark. These canyons are so sheer that they create massive rapids, wild currents and vortexes that can very easily kill you if you fall in. A solid 6/10, would not go there.
Little Crater Lake, Oregon
On first glance this lake doesn’t look too scary. It ranks this high because I really don’t like the sheer drop off and how clear it is (because it shows you exactly how deep it goes). This lake is about 100 feet across and 45 feet deep, and I strongly feel that this is too deep for such a small lake. Also, the water is freezing, and if you fall into the lake your muscles will seize up and you’ll sink and drown. I don’t like that either. 7/10.
Grand Turk 7,000 ft drop off
No. 8/10. I hate it.
Gulf of Corryvreckan, Scotland
Due to a quirk in the sea floor, there is a permanent whirlpool here. This isn’t one of those things that looks scary but actually won’t hurt you, either. It absolutely will suck you down if you get too close. Scientists threw a mannequin with a depth gauge into it and when it was recovered the gauge showed it went down to over 600 feet. If you fall into this whirlpool you will die. 9/10 because this seems like something that should only be in movies.
The Bolton Strid, England
This looks like an adorable little creek in the English countryside but it’s not. Its really not. Statistically speaking, this is the most deadly body of water in the world. It has a 100% mortality rate. There is no recorded case of anyone falling into this river and coming out alive. This is because, a little ways upstream, this isn’t a cute little creek. It’s the River Wharfe, a river approximately 30 feet wide. This river is forced through a tiny crack in the earth, essentially turning it on its side. Now, instead of being 30 feet wide and 6 feet deep, it’s 6 feet wide and 30 feet deep (estimated, because no one actually knows how deep the Strid is). The currents are deadly fast. The banks are extremely undercut and the river has created caves, tunnels and holes for things (like bodies) to get trapped in. The innocent appearance of the Strid makes this place a death trap, because people assume it’s only knee-deep and step in to never be seen again. I hate this river. I have nightmares about it. I will never go to England just because I don’t want to be in the same country as this people-swallowing stream. 10/10, I live in constant fear of this place.
Honorable mention: The Quarry, Pennsylvania
I don’t know if that’s it’s actual name. This lake gets an honorable mention not because it’s particularly deep or dangerous, but it’s where I almost drowned during a scuba diving accident.
A movie theatre whose decor doesn’t look like it was designed by the Devil is kind of missing the point of movie theatres, frankly.
what interpretation tho, like sexy red velvet devil, specifically fucking with you devil, “this is specifically hell for an interior designer” devil, what?
Every Devil has a home in movie theatre interior design.
Red velour seats and gaudy chandeliers, cheap gold paint flaking from wood-panelled walls and an ostentatious curtain to run up at the start of every screening? Good.
Art Deco fittings and faux-marble concession counters, screaming neon accent lights and lobby carpeting that looks like your gay uncle’s loudest bar shirt? Also good.
They all have their place, as long as they’re horrible and awesome.
While the fact that Great Great Gatsby hits the public domain in thirty days does mean that by this time next month, you’ll be able to commercially publish your gay sequel without fear of reprisal, I think we’re overlooking the much broader takeaway:
Once original novel becomes public domain, there will no longer be any legal obstacle to having its various characters randomly show up in other works.
Much like Dracula and Sherlock Holmes, we’ll be able to have Jay Gatsby just wander into otherwise unrelated media without the risk of anybody getting on our backs about it.
Imagine.
We can finally have the He/Him Lesbian version of The Great Gatsby that everyone’s been waiting for.
