rosalarian:

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

thumbcramps:

hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.

also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.

anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!

Fantastic.

thestarlighthotel:

Kirsty Mitchell’s late mother Maureen was an English teacher who spent her life inspiring generations of children with imaginative stories and plays. Following Maureen’s death from a brain tumour in 2008, Kirsty channelled her grief into her passion for photography.

She retreated behind the lens of her camera and created Wonderland, an ethereal fantasy world. The photographic series began as a small summer project but grew into an inspirational creative journey.

‘Real life became a difficult place to deal with, and I found myself retreating further into an alternative existence through the portal of my camera,’ said the artist. (read the rest here).

I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN’T AN ART HISTORY FANDOM?? BECAUSE MONET HAD THIS MASSIVE ART!CRUSH ON MANET AND WANTED SENPAI TO NOTICE HIM EXCEPT MANET THOUGHT MONET WAS BEING A DICK AND MAKING FUN OF HIS ART AND PAINTINGS AND SIGNING HIS NAME WRONG, AND IT WAS ALL A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING AND SENPAI FINALLY NOTICED MONET AND THEN THEY BECAME BFFS AND THIS RIGHT HERE IS A PAINTING BY MONET OF HIS SENPAI MANET PAINTING ON A BOAT LIKE A PAINTING OF A PAINTER PAINTING AND THAT IS SOME INCEPTION LEVEL BROMANCE RIGHT THERE.

Please no, if some sort of fandom is created for art fucking history I think I’ll just stop studying it.

good. There are no jobs in art history that don’t rely on you making other people really fucking excited about art, so you might as well quit now. What, were you going to be an Academic? Oh, I’m sorry, this is just my capslock rendition of a professor’s lecture with tongue in cheek fandom references. A curator? What the hell are you gonna do when you gotta actually consider impressing an audience of people with your art that no one gives a shit about? People spend less than fifteen seconds reading a museum label, so lemme tell you the cold hard truth of this world: whether you’re hoping to go into academia, galleries and auctions, or museums the entirety of your job will be getting people to get REALLY EXCITED ABOUT ART, and in the case of the galleries and auction houses SO EXCITED THEY BUY YOUR ART because it’s a fucking sales job, and fyi, most of this shit is non-profit work, which means doubly you need to get people to care enough to invest in every million dollar project you put on. You have to keep the lights on, you see, otherwise who’s going to bother with seeing the art?

What exactly, pray tell, did you have in mind where you weren’t going to be dealing with the pressing issue to get the general populace to appreciate what you study? Museums are public institutions of learning…people don’t come into museums knowing “Yes, this is definitely a masterpiece, I should appreciate it.” They don’t come in knowing the history behind a painting, which, by the way, I just gave people in an accessible, fun, enjoyable manner, and you can bet I caught some people’s attention for longer than 15 seconds, which is impressive.

But oh no, “fandom” jokes are offensive to your precious high art. Now figure out what you’re doing if you don’t want people to like it, because you don’t need to know anything about Art History to work in security.

I am an art historian and I have to say that art history is full of fandom already for fuck’s sake

I mean take Raphael’s School of Athens

It’s Raphael imagining the great philosophers and mathematicians of antiquity as part of a single great school, one which crossed the boundaries of time and geography to unite these minds in the service of learning and discovery- not to mention he added himself and several other major artists of his own day, as if to suggest that their work was also in dialogue with these giants. It’s Raphael mashing together everything he loves to create an engaging new statement.

do you understand what I am telling you

this is Raphael’s SuperWhoUponaTimeFireflyAvengersLock

The important thing about this is that Dean has never at all denied the insinuation of a relationship with Castiel. If he is as much of a heterosexual legend as canon claims him to be, maybe he would have tried to defend his sexuality more adamantly. But I don’t think Dean is straight, and I don’t think he’s gay either. He is certainly sexual with women, but he doesn’t seem to be able to interact with them on any deeper level. Even his relationship with Lisa was founded on not his attraction to her, but the idea of her, of being normal. While, yes, he has sex with women, all his emotional relationships are with men, so at the very least he is homosocial. The interesting thing with Castiel is that there is no familial obligation that keeps them together- not like it does with Sam or Bobby. The level of trust and affection he has for Castiel is homo-romantic I think, and the fact is that if Castiel was played by a woman, they would have had sex ages ago. Dean is loud, brash- but he makes no attempt to deny that Castiel has feelings for him, he doesn’t even laugh it off like he does the other gay jokes. He acknowledges the feelings between him and Castiel by not talking about them, by refusing to comment because they’re not feelings that can be easily resolved, and it’s just fucking complicated.

Malala Yousafzai, in a 2011 interview with CNN, discussing her activism on behalf of girls seeking education in Pakistan.

I’m bringing this back because this morning it was announced that Malala Yousafzai has been officially nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Congratulations, princess.

If there were more people even a tenth as amazing as this lady, the world would be a better place.
