Most people don’t even know her name. Alice Parker is her name. Back in 1919, she created and patented a gas powered heating system when most homes were still using fireplaces and coal stoves. She imagined heating an entire home safely, with different rooms warmed individually instead of relying on one fire source. Even though her system wasn’t fully used back then, her ideas are the reason modern central heating and zoning exist today. That’s Black history. That’s legacy.

a lot of writing is sort of watching the film in your head like oh sorry can’t write the chapter yet i have to repeat hallucinate the dialogue first

This is why no one writes good fanfiction anymore. This is why no one makes good art anymore. This is why no one wants to put that sort of love and effort into anything anymore.

Goose made an amazing and beautifully written show that explores community, authenticity, and acceptance. And these pathetic people online are the people with no talent and not one artistic bone in their bodies and not a single thought in their head besides the corrosive need to consume screaming, crying, and shitting themselves about how anything anyone else creates is actually their's.

We artists will make something for an audience, but if it doesn't vibe with you it wasn't meant for you. And that includes every choice made. Not everything was meant FOR YOU, not even if you like it.

I don't know what is worse, people who use AI to steal art or the people who treat real fucking artists like they do an AI bot.

I don't have time for tumblr discourse they're calling the very hungry caterpillar degenerate art over on twitter

good art is when something looks like real life, the more real it looks the more better the art. abstracted figures give my trad children nightmares, one time they were exposed to cubism and couldn't go outside for a week

Huh fascinating, I wonder what the fash have against Eric Carle? I wonder what he might have said about his life, and influences, and early experiences that makes them say he’s part of an ‘insalubrious culture’?

Carle's 'Blue Horse' teaches kids to think outside the box

Franz Marc (1880-1916) was a German painter and printmaker, one of the key figures of the German Expressionist movement.

"Scam" you mean people are fighting back against housing discrimination??? I don't think these people know what the word scam means

Scams are designed to trick someone into giving up money based on lies. This is just.. asking for information then legally enforcing the law??

Fuck landlords

“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do

it IS surreal when companies decide to invent the torment nexus from hit media franchise "dont invent the torment nexus" but also to be fair a lot of "dont invent the torment nexus" stories are less "don't invent the torment nexus" and more "oh god has anyone noticed that we are dangerously close to inventing the torment nexus. can we please stop inventing the torment nexus. the torment nexus is maybe 2-3 years away. is anybody listening."
