Not trying to sound like a boomer but going to an art museum for the first time in a minute is wild because like... (visual) art really does hit different when its not on a tiny screen the size of your palm

There's research that says art in person can affect us by triggering introspection because the phyiscal light and shadows hitting the texture of a painting changes the image and the experience in a way that printed or screen viewed art can not replicate. It's said that the minor shifts in those details is experienced by the brain in a way that mimics primal reactions to motion in wilderness that might alert us to movement in the woods, for example, that would directly affect our ability to survive.

So like yea, paintings in person, they do stuff. They make us feel aware of ourselves in a way that a flat screen just can't, and they remind us that we are human beings.

that's so cool! I wasn't thinking of realism specifically in the first post, but this reminds me how I've definitely felt that realistic oil paintings, landscapes especially, capture light and atmosphere in a way that even the most skilled photographers haven't gotten to yet. Ultimately because our sight as we experience it isn't just two lenses, but the way our brain puts together details, memories, expectations, patterns, etc to make a scene, which no lense will ever be able to capture. Like, I can see a nice photo print and think "oh, nice mountains" but I don't get the feeling of actually being there. Seeing old masters depict places I've been to and have been relatively unchanged is so special.

Lately I’ve been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and who I need to become to become the kind of love I want to be…and when I break it all down.

Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe

Nothing happens until it do 🧘🏾‍♂️

This is the first time I’ve seen color tattoos on dark skin that actually look vibrant and pigmented!!!!!

[dinosaurxswag]

Once I was talking to a dark skinned lady who told me that she was jealous of my pasty skin because she wants color tattoos, which her artist said wasn’t possible with her skin tone. I sent her to mine, and he proceeded to go off about how dark skin accepts greens, yellows, and white beautifully, and that her previous artist just lacked the skills to use those 3 colors as highlights to make other colors pop more. If you are dark skinned and your tattoo artist says you can’t have bright colors, find a new one.

Re-blogged again for that added text!!!

[garlic-slut]

It’s not that dark skin can’t take colour tattoos, it’s that most artists don’t bother to learn how to tattoo dark skin. It’s possible.

love watching straight people’s reaction to how we knew someone was gay because it’s always stupid things like “i asked her where she got that button up shirt and she said the men section of zara” or “she got into a heated debate about werewolves and only a gay person would be that passionate about werewolves” and straight people’s wack ‘he has a lisp’ gaydar cannot comprehend this level of secret language and just look at us like
