Barbara Krugerâs never really talked about Supreme, the skate company whoâs been ripping off her ideas and prints letter for letter, color for color, for their red-and-white logo, which you have seen, because it is everywhere.Â
I emailed her casually to ask her about this. And today, she got back to me, and gave a candid statement on the matter of Supreme for the first time, ever, really. By emailing me a blank email, with an attachment. Which you can see above.
an iconic moment in art history
For those who arenât in the loop or forgot the name:
Barbara Kruger is the anti-consumerist, feminist artist who made pieces such as the ones below and pioneered a new, unique aesthetic in typography (an aesthetic that has been copied wholesale by âSupremeâsâ marketing.)
Developing a Positive Mental Attitude
1. Remind yourself that you are NOT your feelings.
2. Donât sweat the small stuff; choose to focus on what matters. Ignore or overlook the petty things, and grievances.
3. Feel the power as you learn to take control of your reactions. Youâre not just a puppet, where someone pulls your strings.
4. Donât agree with other peoplesâ opinions of your value, or the way they rate your actions, your motives or achievements. Donât let them be your judge, or the one who sets your worth.
5. Donât compare yourself to others as weâre all different and unique. Set yourself some goals to go for, and celebrate when you succeed.
6. Accept that lifeâs a journey, and we grow and change with time. We donât start off being perfect â so expect to get things wrong.
7. Love yourself completely and unconditionally. Youâre a worthwhile individual â and youâll get there in the end.

Controversial Truths About Ancient Egypt Masterpost
The pyramids were built by contemporary workers who received wages and were fed and taken care of during construction
The Dendera âlightbulbâ is a representation of the creation myth and has nothing to do with electricity
We didnât find âââcopper wiringâââ in the great pyramid either
Hatshepsut wasnât transgender
The gods didnât actually have animal heads
Hieroglyphs arenât mysteriously magical; theyâre just a language (seriously we have shopping lists and work rosters and even ancient erotica)
The ancient Egyptian ethnicity wasnât homogeneous
Noses (and ears, and arms) broke off statues and reliefs for a variety of reasons, none of which are âthere is a widespread archaeological conspiracy to hide the Egyptian ethnicityâ
The carvings at Abydos arenât modern machines but recarvings over old carvings. Sure they look like them but if you can read hieroglyphs and know that Ramesses II will even usurp the carvings of his own father just to be a little shit
âNo soot on the ceilings and walls of the Dendera temple!â is actually because of extensive restoration works and not because Egyptians were in on shit like Baghdad âbatteriesâ
While the Egyptians were fine-ass astronomers they didnât align any of their enormous and/or important buildings to modern star constellations, because constellations look very different now than they did ~5000 years agoÂ
The pyramid is the simplest, sturdiest shape with which to build and many different cultures discovered this in their own time. There were never any weird fish humans/aliens involved
The sphinx of Gizah is only an approximate 5000 years old; the 10,000 year/rain erosion nonsense is proven hokum
Speaking of that particular sphinx, the Napoleonic expedition is not responsible for its missing nose
Akhenaten was not a âhereticâ by contemporary standards
Ramses II appropriated a lot of his predecessorsâ buildings/reliefs and isnât really deserving of the epithet âthe Greatâ
The Battle of Kadesh ended in a stalemate (twice)
While they had feline deities throughout their history, Egyptians didnât actually worship cats themselves. This was a later Greek/Ptolemaeic addition
It was not, in fact, practice to shave off eyebrows after cats died; Herodotus lied about that
Herodotus lied about a lot of things and many misconceptions about ancient Egypt can be traced back to his Greek ass
I canât believe I forgot my favourite Hill to Die On
Seth was not the god of âevilâ, and despite his chaos providing a foil to order, he wasnât completely villified until very late in Egyptian history, when he became associated with despised foreign enemies
Hats off to the few of you whoâre reblogging this with tags saying youâre going to check my claims later. You make me not entirely despair of this hellhole.
Here are some vetted Egyptological books/sources (that are by and large appropriate for a lay-audience) you can find most, if not all of the above:
Lehner, M., The Complete Pyramids
Wilkinson, R. H., The Complete Temples of Ancient Egypt
Hornung, E., The One and the Many: Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt
Dunand, F. & Zivie-Coche, C., Gods and Men in Egypt
Kemp, B., Ancient Egypt: Anatomy of a Civilization
Bard, K., An Introduction to the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt
Stevenson Smith, W., The Art and Architecture of Ancient Egypt
Kitchen, K. A., The Life and Times of Ramesses II, King of Egypt
Sweeney, D., Sex and Gender (in Ancient Egypt)
McDowell, A. G., Village Life in Ancient Egypt:Â Laundry Lists and Love Songs
Te Velde, H., Seth, God of ConfusionÂ
Guys do me a solid and reblog this version instead of continuously asking for sources on the other versions thanks

i dont have a witty comment for this so just know that i gave myself a headache from laughing at this scene
Abusers donât come with warning labels. Abusers donât hit you on the first date. They donât write âI will humiliate and belittle youâ on their Tinder profiles. They donât wear âI break things to intimidate my partnerâ t-shirts. People donât get trapped in damaging relationships because they saw an abuser coming from 20 yards away and decided âIâm going to date that person anywayâ. Thatâs not how any of this works. In the beginning, abusers can be some of the most thoughtful, attentive people youâll ever meet. Theyâre obsessed with you; thatâs what makes them so toxic and deadly as time goes on. Abusers buy you flowers. They remember your birthday. They remember to text you âgood morningâ and âgood nightâ. They listen to your problems, confide in you and share silly inside jokes. They can keep that âloving, doting partner and best friendâ mask in place for months or years if they have to. So the first time they scream at you or hit you, you donât see an abuser. You see your best friend, your confidante, the person who brought you soup when you were sick and always laughs at your stories about your nutty coworker. You tell yourself they just had a bad day. Maybe they were tired, sick, hungry, or under a lot of stress. You know them. Youâve made a life with them. And theyâre so sorry and so ashamed of what they did. This isnât who they are. And so things go back to back to normal for a while. Wonderful, even. This is still one of the best relationships youâve ever been in, even counting that one incident. You go back to date nights, cozy nights in and 5-hour-long conversations that feel effortless. And then it happens again. And you still donât see an abuser. You see the person who means the most to you in the whole world. You decide that maybe theyâre just struggling. Maybe they have mental health issues. Theyâve told you every horrible thing thatâs ever happened to them as a child, and maybe it has something to do with that. But either way, theyâre not an abuser. Not yet. Theyâre just a person who needs you more than ever. Then things are good for a while. Then something bad happens. Then itâs good again. Then itâs bad. Good. Bad. Good. Bad. And every time it happens, it gets a little harder to get out. The time youâve invested in the relationship goes up, and your self-esteem goes down. By the time you realize that, yes, the person you thought you knew is an Abuser with a capital A, youâre in deep. Youâre a frog that stood in a pot of water so long it turned you into soup before you even noticed it was getting a little warm. But you didnât ask for this. And you certainly didnât know it was coming. We have this image in our heads of what abusers must look like. We picture brawny men with low foreheads and stained white tank tops, screaming at their wives while they drink beer in front of the TV. We think theyâre like wildlife, as if we could spot them with the help of a guidebook and know to stay far away from them. But theyâre not. Abusers can be anyone. They can be female. They can be accomplished. They can be well-groomed. Queer. Politically far-left. Politically far-right. Artists. Athletic. Charitable. Intelligent. They can come from any walk of life, any spot on the gender spectrum, any religion, any background. Itâs not the abused personâs fault for not spotting them - they canât always be spotted. Itâs the abuserâs fault for abusing.Â
Itâs the abuserâs fault for abusing.
