Nina Urlichs “univers bleu I” 2014 “In my artwork I often work about the philosophy of our everlasting life-circles and perpetual movements. Shapes and forms of circles, rounds, drops…., are always included somewhere in every picture. The bodies painted are closed inside or breaking out of the circle.” - Nina Urlichs

Touches Ask Game
Prompts for writing human connection, intimacy, belonging.
Hand-holding
The purest form of human connection.
tiny hands in big hands
calloused hands in soft hands
cold hands in warm hands
hands with the perfect ratio to each other for hand-holding
platonic hand-holding
running their thumb over the other’s hand
dancing with their hands holding onto each other
squeezing hand for comfort and encouragement
holding hands across the table
happily doing everything with just one hand, if it means they don’t have to let go
not wanting to lose each other in a big crowd
possessive hand-holding
linking hands together during sex
grabbing hand to show them something
loosely holding onto each other’s hands, laying in one’s lap
only linking the pinkies together, not ready to let go completely
holding hands while skating
excitedly grabbing each other’s hands during a concert, jumping up and down together
playing with each other’s fingers
pressing the other’s hand against their cheek
holding hands while one is balancing on a small wall
grabbing the other’s hand to pull them back from something
holding hands under the table
only realizing it when they have to let go
standing in front of each other, holding both their hands
holding their hands above their head, fingers linked together
passionate hand-holding
grabbing the other’s hand so they don’t fall
holding hands while running through the rain
brushing against each other, linking fingers together for a second
grabbing their hand to grab their attention
not really paying attention, both doing something else, but still holding hands
bandaging the other’s hand and not quite letting go
holding hands while driving
grabbing the other’s hand to pull them back to them
unconsciously searching out each other’s hand while sleeping
not realizing they’re holding hands till someone points it out
swinging hands back and forth, skipping like children
holding hands in a museum to pull them to the next exhibition
letting go when there is an obstacle in their way and immediately grabbing each other’s hand again when they pass it
loosely holding onto each other’s hand
dragging the other with them, holding their hand
raising the other’s hand to their lips to kiss it softly
holding hands while jumping down from somewhere together
comparing hand sizes, then linking fingers together

kissing their bruises and scars
lifting the other one up
putting their head on the other’s chest
stroking their leg
leaning into the other’s side
patting them on the back
sitting close and knees touching
braiding the other’s hair
giving them a piggy-back ride
sitting on the other’s lap
feeling their temperature
linking arms with each other
touching their elbow to get their attention
dancing with each other
holding onto the other’s shoulders for support
putting a hand over the other’s mouth to shut them up

Ten and Donna’s single shared braincell moments are all well and good and I DO love them but what makes me go absolutely fuckin apeshitt over them e v e r y time is those moments where it’s like
Ten, after Going Through It: :l
Donna: :)?
Ten: :)!
*vine voice* is this allowed????
Super fucked up! wtf is wrong with these people? #IamWithMili!
What is every little girl supposed to have long hair in a ponytail? So happy to see all of the support going her way.
Everybody remembers that we absolutely knew this would happen, right?
Like, trans people predicted this from the start. Everyone was SO SURE they could identify us on sight, and we said “If you run with that assumption you’re going face-first into a goddamn wall” and here we go.
I miss the Russian OP
i was with my mother’s family and they were talking to me about my religious studies major. my great aunt asked me what the definition of hell was, and i responded “well i suppose it depends on who you ask.” and nearly all the protestants in the group decided that hell was “the absence of god” which i suppose is a fair answer, albeit not a universal one. my cousin’s wife was playing with her 3-year-old daughter and she says “well mommy says that hell is a mcdonald’s playplace” asdfghjhgfd
this 3-year-old girl is so fucking hilarious. her mothers have signed her up for a toddler yoga class, and so she has adopted a very unique language. this child also has an imaginary friend named “mom” which is, in her mind, the boss of her two mothers. for example, my cousin’s wife explained to me how her daughter got mad at them one time. the little girl situated herself in the corner of her crib, pretended to type on a cell phone and said “im writing an email to mom right now and telling her how bad you two are. namaste.”
the family’s Big Theory about “Mom” is that both my cousin and her wife are referred to as “Mommy” and “Mama.” The nickname “Mom” is not used in the house because it would just be confusing. However, when interacting with the world, people tell their daughter that they will “tell her mom” if she is doing something wrong. so this child automatically assumes there is this greater “Mom” figure that is responsible for distributing universal justice.
To be fair to the toddler, that’s pretty much how religions get started.
Our Mom, who art gonna hear about this,

Star trek is cool but sometimes you can tell it was written by white people
Billy shat, narrating: the savage alien race,
Me:
I think about that tweet about "you can tell star trek was made by white people because they're talking about 'to boldly go where no one has gone before' and then like 90% of the planets they go to are inhabited" every day
I love the youth so much for responding to “bLeehhHh ur goin to hell” with “omg great tiktok idea brb”!
I met Tamora Pierce at a book signing once when I was in high school. I was halfway through your standard cursory “hey thanks your books meant a lot to me when I was—” when suddenly her pupils visibly dilated as she noticed my mother’s jewelry.
With the same sort of rapt, predatory interest I have come to associate with dimestore vampire novels, Tamora Pierce leaned forward and whispered,
“Are those
Opals?!”
that gal really likes her opals folks
I'm rereading some of her books and that's very obvious from the everything about them.
if you threw an opal over a ledge she would drop to all fours and vault after it like an attack leopard and I’m so happy for her
Me, to my wife who has literally slept on Tammy’s couch multiple times: Hey, babe, does Tammy like opals?
My wife, intensely and immediately without any hesitation: OH yes, very much. ...Why?
Do you know if they make laser pointers that look like opals? I have an idea that potentially involves a lot of property damage.
Also her obsession is contagious because they’re now my favorites, or at least tied with amber, which sucks, because they’re so delicate that I can’t actually wear them. She couldn’t have picked a more durable gemstone to write about constantly?
I love it when the little kids I’m teaching online have complete and total misconceptions of what’s going on. So far, I’ve encountered the following:
1. I had been teaching a little girl for several months, when one day she said to me: “My mother says you’re a real person, not an app. If you’re a real person, show me your husband.”
2. I was about to end a class, but the little girl I was teaching didn’t want the class to end. She turned to her mom and asked if she could please watch one more episode. Turns out she was under the impression that I was a very interactive TV program.
3. I couldn’t find my marker in class today. The boy I was teaching was like, “What’s your apartment number? I’ll come up and help you find it!” The boy lives in China and I live in the United States. I guess most people he knows live in the same building as him, so he assumed I did too.
4. I had been teaching a kid for quite some time when I mentioned my age in class. She was like, “Wait, you’re an adult????” She’d thought I was twelve.
I did not like Star Wars as a child at all because I grew up watching Star Trek and I was horrified by all the elements of casual nightmarish dystopia that the Star Wars characters just accepted as normal and never had protracted discussions about ethics over.
imagine me, age 7, having imprinted on Data as a toddler, absolutely traumatized by the disrespectful treatment of sapient droids and the fact that no one tries to teach C-3PO to be less racist
Image of a text that reads: In conversation with some coworkers, today, one of them said that homeless people should have to work for their meals just like the rest of us.
I said, "Okay, I know a man who is homeless. He'd be happy to work. He's got a business degree. He would be happy to come clean your house, do your yard work, or help you with your filing, walk your dogs, babysit your kids, or just about any office job. What time tomorrow should he come see you?"
They all just looked at me.
I said, "Mind you, he's homeless, so he hasn't showered in a while and the only clothes he has are the ones on his back because he lost all his stuff last week when ge got picked up for vagrancy and they wouldn't let him go back for his bag. It would be a few weeks before what you are paying him is enough to get shelter and such."
And still they stared at me.
I finished, "See? It isn't that easy. He can't get a job because he's homeless with no access to hot water or clean clothes. He can't get access to shelter, hot water or clean clothes without a job. You want him to work for his meals? Give him a hand out of the vicious circle. Stop pretending that all he has to do is get a job."
Unhoused people are not intruders into our communities, they are our communities’ failure to take care of their own.
i dont understand when people queue their reblogs for an active post schedule. like yes if you’re a big anonymous account who takes requests or posts from reddit, sure, but for personal blogs? i am a silly little man making my silly little posts and when you see them you know i am on my silly little phone
Oh goodness me how could this have happened. Maybe charging $30 for a mediocre movie on a streaming service people are already paying for was a bad idea.
boy howdy I sure hope they don’t do the thing where they intentionally set up a story to fail and then blame it on things that were actually good like east asian-inspired lore and female-prominent cast
