haters will see you kill some one and be like hey that guys a murderer
having a tumblr blog with more than 500 followers deserves to be in the dsm-6
Art forgery is the best crime tbh. It requires absolutely incredible artistic talent, technical skill, and attention to detail to make convincing fakes. Does anyone get hurt from it? No! The only people who suffer for it are the extremely wealthy who want the prestige of having original paintings in their own homes. It’s full of international intrigue and mystery. Perfect.
Also… art forgers like van Meegeren sometimes become a kind of folk hero. A swindler, sure, but a gentleman’s swindler.
I liked this guy’s story, Mark Landis, who conned several dozen museums into displaying his forgeries, but when the FBI came after him they couldn’t do anything because he had always given them away as donations. They said if they could have found that he’d ever taken anything in exchange they would have prosecuted him, but all he wanted was get to out of the house and meet people.
“The first painting Landis “donated” was a copy of a work by Maynard Dixon, an artist well-known for his paintings of cowboys and Indians. It started as impulse, Landis says, but then “everybody was just so nice and treated me with respect and deference and friendship, things I was very unused to — I mean, actually not used to at all. And I got addicted to it.”” And it looks like all his forgeries are done with cheap materials, like markers and Hobby Lobby frames.
Ok, but Wolfgang Beltracchi is probably one of the best Fraud Artists in the world.
His career brought him millions upon millions of dollars and lasted almost 40 years. He finally admitted to painting fraudulent art after the white paint he used came under scrutiny.
“ Bob Simon: What do you think this Max Ernst would be worth? Wolfgang Beltracchi: This one? Simon: Yeah. Beltracchi: $5 million, I think. Simon: $5 million. And you can do it in three days? Beltracchi: Yeah, oh yes, yes, sure, or quicker” -From a 60 minutes interview with Bob Simon
In The interview with Beltracchi, he said that none of his forgeries are copies, they’re all original works that the famous artists could have painted.
“Beltracchi estimates he has done 25 Max Ernsts. He is not copying an existing work. He’s painting something he thinks Ernst might have done if he’d had the time or felt like it.” - The Con Artist: A multi-million dollar art scam
His wife was also in on the scam, she would dress up in old clothing and take pictures holding the paintings with old cameras to fake proof of the paintings’ ages.
At the end of the interview with Wolfgang Beltracchi he was asked if he felt he had done anything wrong, his answer was “ Yeah, I used the wrong kind of paint”
Just … the levels of con there, the fake photos and … wow. That’s incredible.
Heroes
Also fun fact we learned in class today: Michelangelo carved a sculpture of a Roman god, broke off the arm, and then buried it. The sculpture was dug up and was considered to be an authentic Roman artefact, until Michelangelo came along with the missing arm and called shenanigans on himself, just to prove he was as skilled a sculptor as the ancient Romans.
honestly mike? chill.
YEHS U GO ARTISTS
when you think about this its basically reverse-plagiarism
I may make jokes about “pick me’s”, and talk my shit, but honestly ? There will always be a piece of my heart that weeps for women, who will literally go through life with no other goals or aspirations other than to be chosen by men.
Revolving their whole entire world around male acceptance. Basing their whole existence off male attention. Only being able to be happy when a man is in the picture. I feel for them. Truly. I do.
They will endure unfaithfulness, disrespect, minimal effort, and abuse in all forms, just to be able to say “at least I have a man”
Imagine not having an identity outside of a man. Lacking self esteem and self love. Being so afraid of being alone that you will literally accept anything a man throws your way because you’d rather have somebody than nobody, so. You just take what you can get.
It breaks my heart.
It pains me knowing that society has brainwashed women into thinking that we are unworthy outside of marriage and relationships. But we must release ourselves from that toxic mindset, and focus on happiness within our own lives. Outside of the opposite sex.
I say all of that to say this:
Please stop seeking validation from men.
Nurture your own souls. The right one will always come at the right time.
Even if they don’t, always remember that men are not a necessity to having a beautiful life.
We create our own greatness.
With or without them ·

Mm, that hits deep for sure
So you seriously don't know what podcast to listen to next? On tumblr? Alright...
Buckle up bc this is the storytelling fiction-podcast Megapost. These are all fiction podcasts that are not Talkshows, but storydriven. Some i have listened to, some I havent. Most, if not all of these, you can probably find on YouTube or Podbean.
DONE: (7)
These are podcasts that i have finished or caught up with as of March 2020. I can't speak for newer seasons, but I'll try to give an impression of them:
Welcome to Nightvale
(a classic and many people's hook into podcasts. Tells the story of a strange desert town through local radio. Complete with all kind of LGBT+ representation, a gay canon main character, absolute weirdness and a lovably terrible antagonist, this still running podcast is an absolute must-try)
The Penumbra Podcast, Juno Steel Plotline
(The story of a genderfluid depressed detective on mars and his dangerous dance with a mysterious master thief, told in a beautifully sound-designed ongoing podcast.)
The Magnus Archives
(This still-running podcast starts relatively slowly but really takes off after the first season, telling one short horror story per episode and building a intricate metaplot about an asexual archivist with big dumbass energy and his assistants)
Wolf 359
(A walking pop culture refrence, a mom-friend boss, a crazy russian scientist and a glitchy AI live and work in a space station about 7 light years from earth. Besides a plant monster, mutiny and betrayal, this finished podcast also has a well-rounded and memorable cast that you'll be sure to love)
Eos 10
(Dr Ryan Dalias is transferred to Eos 10 as part of the medical team, which formerly had been led by a drunk misanthrope and a nurse with a very particular skillset. While trying to deal with a hypochondriac royal, an abnormal Christmas tree and a terrorist, this rather lighthearted podcast has its genuine moments)
Gay Future
(a more or less sarcastic podcast based on the fanatic homophobic ideas of Mike Pence, this short podcast is set in a dystopian future in which everyone is gay and makes fun of YA books, heteronomy and a bunch of other stuff along the way)
Alice isn't dead
(an extremely atmospheric podcast from the same people that made nightvale which follows an anxious truck driver looking for her wife. A lot of American Gothic, excellent atmosphere and genuinely heartfelt comments on love, humanity and freedom make this a true experience)
IN PROGRESS: (7)
Podcasts that i am currently listening to/catching up on and thus can already reccomend, but not fully comment on.
Within the Wires
(one story per season, the first being subliminal messages being told through relaxation tapes)
Archive 81
(a young man is sent to categorize an entire Archive of tapes in a remote storage unit. Nothing goes wrong, of course. Really takes off in the second season)
The Bright Sessions
(the recordings of therapy sessions for supernaturally talented humans)
Kingfalls AM
(the Radiostation of Kingfalls, a weird little town in america)
The White Vault
(a rescue team is sent to a remote outpost in the arctic)
The Habitat
(a team of trainees is sent to live isolated in a simulation of a space station. Not fictional, real life recordings)
Start with this
(a podcast about making podcasts)

this is the funniest thing to ever happen
what the fuck is this
that period in the mid-20th century where the middle class suddenly had access to unprecedented food variety but no idea what to do with it and ended up inventing hundreds of doomed dishes like lime cheese jello salad or ham and banana hollandaise is thematically akin to the cambrian explosion
remember, this is for a DOOR lock.
remember that when picking a DOOR lock, you have to apply a little bit of pressure to your tension wrench (the thing that you use to turn the knob). too little or too much and you wont be able to pick the door open. you can use anything for the tension wrench. a bobby pin. bits of wire. a paper clip. etc.
its best to be completely silent when youre picking locks bc theres this small ‘click’ when youre picking that you might miss if youre using headphones or listening to music.
.
if youre picking one of these
you jam something thin and long above one of the rotation dials and you push up on the shackle.
. if its one of these
you get yourself some shims. (or make one. you can make shims out of fucking soda cans), you wiggle them in the tiny space between the shackle and the body of the lock, and you pop these suckers open.
. for a chain deadbolt,
you get something flexible but sturdy and you just push this fucker down
. for one of these rotating combination locks
you can also shim this motherfucker open. jam your shims between the shackle and the body and pry it unlocked. if, for some reason, you dont wanna shim it open, maybe you dont have a shim or you just like a challenge, this bitch can be decoded ridiculously easy. heres what you do:
spin this bitch to the right about two or three times to “reset” it. then you pull up on the shackle a bit, and turn it right slowly until you hear a click. your number is two spaces further. then you turn left 360 degrees until you land on the right number again, and start turning this motherfucker left until it stops. when it stops, turn right. if its loose, its the wrong number, keep going left. if its not loose, you have the right number, and you turn right all the way until this bitch pops
.
now you know how to pick several common locks!!!!! congratulations!!!!
don’t mind me im just reblogging
Yall need to look up the Lock Picking Lawyer on YouTube too, he’s amazing.
His videos are always so blazé, like ‘here’s yet another fucking disappointing lock to pick’ and he’s so good.
