I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

In case you're curious here's what I mean.

Renaissance(distinct lines, stability and the individual man):

Baroque (bold, chaotic, dramatic):

Romantic(romanticize the simple hard working life):

Do you see the difference?

i think a lot of people think of the "mind" as software and the "body" as hardware when they're trying to reconcile the fact that mind-body dualism is fake, but it betrays a misunderstanding of computers. "software" isn't intangible, ideal. it is physically represented in reality, in the hardware. bits can be flipped by stray particles like flipping a switch. the mind, then, is also physically represented in reality. in the body. it is part of that body

I write this with a heavy heart… My friend is going through the hardest days of his life. Yesterday he lost his uncle, and today his mother is still in the hospital undergoing chemotherapy.

On the third day of her treatment, his mother sleeps most of the time from sheer exhaustion. Each chemotherapy session lasts a full 22 hours, and she's connected to it without a break.

Between the grief of loss and the pain of illness, they can no longer afford the costs of continuing her treatment

I write to you today pleading for compassion and humanity… Any donation, any help, any contribution could make a real difference and help save a mother's life.

Whoever can help, please don't hesitate.Support now means so much 💔

Do I deserve all this pain? Don't I have a heart to feel what you're going through? 💔

I share this with you with a broken heart... My mother is suffering terribly and is still in the hospital undergoing chemotherapy. She is in excruciating pain, and I stand helpless before her suffering, able only to pray. Amidst this pain, I also lost my uncle and his wife... loss after loss, and unbearable sorrow.

Everything weighs heavily on my shoulders, and each day is harder than the last. The situation is incredibly difficult for us. Please... if you can help, donate, or even just share this appeal, please don't hesitate. Your support could save my mother's life and give us a glimmer of hope in this darkness. 💔

Merry Christmas eve, y'all.

I'm still processing a lot this year. I lost 2 very good friends tragically. My grandmother died. I had to return to a situation that has been monumentally challenging and distressing and my mental health is suffering for it. My birthday is next month and I feel like I am just as stuck in life as I was 10 years ago. I've been better, to say the very least.

If for the holidays, you can spare any financial help for me to just get through the day-to-day, you would make a big difference for me. The first half of this decade has been quite possibly the most difficult chapter of my life. I appreciate and value all the help that you all have given to me in the meantime.

Happy holidays, I love y'all. Thank you.

if youre 'monitoring' a trans woman and waiting for her to 'slip up', youre a cop, a transmisogynyist, and a stalker. why do you think trans women are so afraid of publicly existing? why do you think trans women are often so separatist? because we're fucking monitored and instantly pounced upon the moment we step out of line, i.e. do something deemed even remotely unacceptable by a transmisogynist stalker.

you fuckers will exercise fascist behavior and call it 'justice' simply because you think your hatred of fascism makes you incapable of being a fascist and a cop yourself

on top of this - if you're meticulously documenting someone's sex life (whether that's on a private or "public" blog-- indeed the defense that "its publically avaliable information" echoes the sentiment of rape apologia.. was she asking for it? by posting?), exposing that information to hundreds of people, casting aspersions, speculating about her kinks, interests, behaviour, etc... then YOU are the sexual harrasser!!!
