Today I wanted to talk about Kyle Bassinga. Kyle was a 21 year old man from Georgia, whose family described him as "a kind, thoughtful, and smart young man who loved nature, music, and the people around him". Kyle Bassinga was killed on February 18th 2026, just ten days after his birthday. He was found hanging from a tree in a park.

The police ruled it a suicide. The family and local community demanded an investigation. The police refused to change their ruling.

I know this website it too white for this to really go anywhere, but an understanding of the present reality of white supremacy in the United States is just so important to transfeminism here. Lynchings never stopped, white supremacy never went away, you just stopped looking.

We really need help quickly! We are behind in rent and it needs paid NOW.

[khangi]

The time limit for this is quickly approaching. I need assistance ASAP.

[spellsinsugar]

We have the budget now to cover ourselves, but some emergencies have kicked us in the shins. We’re in the 30 day notice.

Please help.

huge fan of the depth of a good purple but another area that draws me is definitely around aquamarine/turquoise/seafoam. you can not go wrong once the green starts getting just a tinge more blue. a gal could certainly do worse than to pull over there and stay a while

something earth shattering going on here

this is why one of my favorite all-time paintings is Ship in Stormy Seas by Ivan Aivazovsky... he was really onto something there

a close up to just... light shining through those waves, makes me feel faint with exhilaration every time

THERE IS A BOAT BY IVAN AIVAZOVSKY!!

Ivan Aivazovsky could paint glowing water. One of the GOATs for sure.

soft cnc does waaayyy more than super aggressive cnc. for example: “i’m sorry just can’t help myself. you’re just so pretty” instead of “open ur legs u stupid b*tch.” don’t get me wrong bc i like both but idea of someone trying to comfort you while pinning you down and violating your body just triggers something very evil in my brain

like they know this is wrong and they’re almost disgusted with themselves but they can’t stop even if they wanted to bc they just need you so badly rn

saw someone mix up "abysmal" and "abyssal" today, so as a reminder:

her skills are abysmal = she is unskilled

her skills are abyssal = her abilities draw upon the forbidden power of the dark void

[verdantelf]

her abyssal skills are abysmal = she can call upon the forbidden power of the void but really badly

if I wrote a dystopian novel where the corrupt evil megacorporation that controls society has a fucking smirk for a logo, my editor would tell me to use a less heavy-handed metaphor

[twinkiefairy]

I love this because if I were to write a literary novel in the Western cannon that described the image of an apple with a chunk bitten off, any high school English student would tell you it is a Bible reference meant to represent the source of all evil and downfall of humanity and YET

Among the Waves by Ivan Aivazovsky

[samwwise]

lord of the rings really was lightning in a bottle. it shouldn’t have worked but by god it did. peter jackson, who had no filmmaking education and was mostly known for making low budget splatter movies, had no business going out and changing the movie industry like that but he did. return of the king showed up at the oscars and became one of the most awarded movies of all time. to this day it holds the record for the highest clean sweep. hollywood will keep trying to recreate that magic with bigger budgets and high profile actors and they will keep failing. i look at the state of these blockbusters where everything is smoothed over by soulless cgi and actors are acting opposite tennis balls and they will never hold a candle to the pure heart and soul and craft of the lord of the rings. every single person involved in that project loved being part of it and it fucking shows. i’m so thankful the stars aligned the way they did for these movies to happen like that.

[dovewithscales]

Lord of the Rings worked precisely because everyone loved the story and the work and each other. The Hobbits are actually still besties in real life, so the love between them on screen is real. Viggo Mortensen bought and kept the horse that saves Aragorn's life. This man broke more than one finger insisting on doing real sword fights with real (unsharpened) swords.

The only kinda janky CGI in the entire movie is in there because Orlando Bloom broke a rib trying to actually jump onto a running horse and they ran out of time for him to heal and try again.

Andy Serkis scrambled around in a stream in New Zealand in winter. rather than do anything on a green screen. Christopher Lee was Ian McKellan's real life hero. The way Gandalf felt about Saruman until his betrayal. Ian McKellan loved the source material so much he walked around with a copy of the books on set and made script changes to quote it more often. Peter Jackson became a director because he wanted to make Lord of the Rings. This was his childhood dream.

And most importantly, the production executives gave him a buttload of money and shut the fuck up and let him do anything he wanted with it. Which is their job. The most successful thing about Lord of the Rings is that the execs kept their mouths shut and didn't get in the way of art.
