This guy in my art class forgot his paint brush so he just cut off a chunk of his hair and taped it to a pencil.
I feel like he has more commitment to fine art than I do.

the whole culture that has grown around making fun of girls for literally everything never fails to amaze me….oh you like to paint? you’re a pretentious art hoe. you like reading? god, i bet the only thing you’ve read is cheesy romance novels. you like music? lol yeah right have you ever even heard of - insert boring white rock band from the 70s -. you wear makeup? you’re fake as fuck. no makeup? damn you look sick, at least put some foundation on. snapchat filters? basic. small boobs? gross, you look like a guy. big boobs? ew why are they sagging and why do you have stretch marks ugh. haven’t had sex? what a prude, loosen up. oh you have had sex? you’re a fucking slut!! you can’t win. you literally can not win.
*sees good art*
*gets excited*
*thinks I can art*
*tries to art*
*cant art*
*sobs*
like yes good punch a nazi but maybe also vote in your local elections to stop the nascent fascists from seeping into the system in the first place and maybe also call your congress people and spit pink paint on trump tower’s ground floor window and other things that aren’t just the last resort of someone with no other ideas for how to stop the right on the rise
we got so much ammo that isn’t even physical, use it!
which reminds me: punching nazis is a game for a healthy person with a working immune system, excellent doctors and sufficient health insurance. sock a dude in the yap trap with your bare fist and you will get a staph infection.
also punching hurts poor people’s income. plz don’t leave the handicapped and poor and violence averse antifascism bros out of this beautiful new era of fucking shit up, there are so many more effective ways to destroy these cowards and they require diverse, clever and wicked planning to be effective.
- Don’t paint your face or body to look like you’re a different race/ethnicity, or wear traditional garments of a different real culture/religion as a costume or part of a costume. (This includes sugar skulls! And Roma people - g*psy is a SLUR and the Roma are a real culture you don’t get to aestheticize!)
- Don’t dress up as a member of any marginalized group you’re not a part of. People who have to fight to exist don’t deserve to be objectified and reduced to a costume. “Trans person”, “sex worker”, “disabled person” - not good costume ideas. Just don’t.
- Don’t tell kids that they have to conform to bullshit gender norms in their costumes. And don’t assume trick-or-treaters all are, either. (If you don’t know someone’s gender, don’t assume it based on whether they’re Darth Vader or a fairy.)
- Don’t wear a costume mocking or making light of horrible things that happened/are happening to real people. (Don’t wear a genocide-related costume. Don’t wear a domestic-violence themed costume. Don’t fucking dress up as a victim/perpetrator of a hate crime, etc.)
- Don’t dress up as a sexualized child. “Sexy schoolgirl” outfits help perpetuate the sexualization and fetishization of young girls, actual children who have to wear the oufits those are based on every day to school, and that’s fucked up. Don’t be part of that shit.
- Be respectful of others’ choices to participate or not in haunted houses or horror movie marathons. Don’t mock them if they’re uncomfortable participating.
- Remember, a costume is not consent. Your attraction to someone does not give you permission to touch them or talk to them in a sexual way without first making sure they want you to.
- Be respectful of haunted house actors. Again, don’t touch them. Don’t proposition them; that’s not what they’re there for. Don’t flash your cameras in their face. Basically, remember that they are human beings who are quite probably not even getting paid for this. Keep things fun, don’t ruin shit by treating them badly.
- If your prank can’t be undone in 30 seconds or causes risk of real harm, it’s probably a crime and it’s definitely an asshole thing to do. Remember when you’re pranking that some people have undisclosed physical disabilities, neurological or mental issues - try not to do any pranks that could trigger a PTSD flashback or an epileptic seizure. A good prank is one the target will laugh at afterward.
- Don’t wear extremely gory or sexual costumes around children, or if there’s a chance you’ll be around children. Wear a coat or something over explicit costumes or wait until you’re at your all-adult venue to put them on.
- In general, consider whether the venue is appropriate for your costume and whether you’re likely to make others uncomfortable. If you don’t know what’s common at that venue, check with someone who’s been there before to find out whether your costume with lots of gore or near-nudity, for example, will be well-received
- Don’t objectify or body shame people wearing skimpy costumes to all-adult gatherings. If you wouldn’t wear it, don’t wear it. You’re not better than someone in a short skirt just because they’re in a short skirt.
- Call out your friends if they’re being assholes. That’s what friends do. Don’t be that asshole who just stands around letting your friend ruin someone’s night.
- Save me some of the good candy. Remember, Halloween is about me, personally, eating chocolate.
- Don’t wear fat suits. When thin people wear fat suits it reinforces the harmful myth that “inside every fat person in a thin person waiting to get out.” Fat bodies are not costumes. Fat bodies are not a joke.
- Do not dress up as a psychiatric nurse or patient: The mental health system has been, and continues to be, horrifically violent towards neurodivergent people. Furthermore costumes that feature these motifs specifically invoke that violence.
- Do not use a strobe light to decorate, especially outdoors: It can cause a seizure or other harm to photosensitive people. Strobes used outdoors force many epileptic people to have to hide indoors during October out of fear of stumbling across a house that is using one. This is an extremely serious problem.
Ace/Aro discourse makes me so uncomfortable because like, it’s just the same bullshit that got thrown at me as a bi woman but with a different paint job.
You aren’t that slick, fuck off into the slime pit that is biphobes, terfs, and other assholes.
dont waste ur time reading this post. go paint a tree, hlep the elderly cross the street, skip down the road, throw a rock in the beach, take life by the tits and milk it
that post was definitely worth reading
UR NOT MILKING THE TITS OF LIFE
the media’s ability to paint white terrorists as mentally ill is not only an exercise of racism but it also stigmatizes mental illness because apparently mentally ill people like to go on racist killing sprees
Chances are that her parents will have her buried (if they bury her in a marked grave) under a headstone that reads “Josh”
Don’t let it hapen.
Change the headstone
Paint it
Tape over it
Do what you can to make sure her parents and those that see her grave know that she deserved more. That she was Leelah and nothing her bigoted parents can do will change that. Ever.
“tumblr” is literally code for “trans people” “abuse survivors/victims” “poc” “women” etc
when people go “XDDD TUMBLR’S GONNA GET ME!” they are literally saying “I realized what I just said was real fucking shitty and hurtful but I cant take it back or I will look like a pussy so I have to paint the victims of my shitty words as evil and over dramatic”
/r/TumblrInAction has a unique meaning now, doesn’t it?
There’s a reason why people specifically hate Tumblr above all other websites for spreading rumors or having weird trends or having cyber bullies aka. Things that Every Website Ever has Had.
