fair warning to people who plan to buy some of my art, theres someone on pintrest going around and selling prints of my work (their account has since been deleted but there might be others)

This is an example of someone receiving one of these prints, from what I can tell the images were taken directly from my tumblr or instagram and are being sold

signs of fake prints

1. Unusual Paper Size: I crop my art before uploading (usually square in shape or close), therefore the prints sold by this person will not fit any of the conventional paper sizes, as of now I only have prints available in A3, A4 and A5 sizes 

2. Watermarks: My prints arrive watermark free, where as these prints will still have my watermark on them

3. Quality: Since the images are taken from tumblr/instagram the resolution will be extremely low, (540px to 1080px) prints I sell are typically 3508px x 4961px, I also use 170gsm high gloss paper

4. Selling Platform:  I ONLY sell my work on Etsy (link is here) if you see my art being sold on any other platform it is not me!

below are my prints compared to the one on top!

hope this does not happen to anyone else and if anyone does see this happening please let me know!

Why do you say Spanish isn't a European language when all my Spanish coworkers tell me Spain is in Europe? 🤔

The majority of Spanish speakers are Latin American.  They live outside of Europe and are not white.  Additionally, your white European co-workers have privleges Latin Americans do not have unlless Trump is building a wall on the border of Spain.

Most English speakers are not British does that make English an American language.

Why Do So Many White People Speak Non-White Languages?

Cultural appropriation is a real issue, okay?  One of the worst cases of this is in the realm of second languages.  Caucasians love to appropriate cultures through language as a way to intrude on the lives of those who might not speak their language.  It’s seen as “fun” or “interesting”.

For those of you into anime, I’m sure you’re aware of the weeaboo problem.  Some white anime fans love to appropriate Japanese hair styles, musical tastes, and even the Japanese language itself.  This is one blog that demonstrates the problems of non-Japanese people learning Japanese.

Spanish is another issue  and tumblr has had this debate before.  You see so many white kids at high school or college who are proud to be able to speak Spanish.  Why not speak a European language like German instead of appropriating the culture of minorities?

[vosimisi]

So what are you proposing we do with the +40 million white people who live in an European country called Spain which happens to be the country where Spanish originated? Ban them from speaking their native language?

Here you have white people speaking their native language which according to you they shouldn’t be speaking because it’s cultural appropiation.

It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.

There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!

[flavoracle]

I took calculus my senior year of high school, and I really liked the way our teacher framed this on the first day of class.

He asked somebody to raise their hand and ask him when we would use calculus in our everyday life. So one student rose their hand and asked, “When are we going to use this in our everyday life?”

“NEVER!!” the teacher exclaimed. “You will never use calculus in your normal, everyday life. In fact, very few of you will use it in your professional careers either.” Then he paused. “So would you like to know why should care?”

Several us nodded.

He picked out one of the varsity football players in the class. “You practice football a lot during the week, right Tim?” asked the teacher.

“Yeah,” replied Tim. “Almost every day.”

“Do you and your teammates ever lift weights during practice?”

“Yeah. Tuesdays and Thursdays we spend a lot of practice in the weight room.”

“But why?” asked the teacher. “Is there ever going to be a play your coach tells you use during a game that requires you to bench press the other team?”

“No, of course not.”

“Then why lift weights?”

“Because it makes us stronger,” said Tim.

“Bingo!!” said the teacher. “It’s the same thing with calculus. You’re not here because you’re going to use calculus in your everyday life. You’re here because calculus is weightlifting for your brain.”

And I’ve never forgotten that.

I mean, this is good, but like, those of us with learning disabilities have been made to feel like failures our entire lives and are prevented from having diploma’s and higher education in fields that do not and will not use these concepts ever, solely because we were incapable of mastering outdated concepts that are unused and that we will never use in our professional careers, which seems more like what the OP was about.

Like, sure, teach it, but don’t make our diploma’s contingent on mastering something we are never going to need or use in our lives just because it ““makes ur brain strong”““.

My highschool diploma REQUIRED I have math concepts I cannot understand due to disability, even though the fields I wanted don’t use them. Universities don’t accept you without the diploma. And they won’t accept you even in unrelated fields without high enough math marks. This is classist and ableist.

And uh, outdated concepts that are no longer used aren’t helping to ‘make your brain strong’ either, it’s teaching you something that was abandoned for a reason, that reason usually being something better came along or it was discovered to be incorrect. It’s like using a textbook that tells you the USSR still exists and that the Cold War is still a Real and Present Threat without your teacher updating that.
