If every lecture started with “okay so get this” I’d literally have a PhD by now
This is why I’ve been so into classic Barbie movies lately, there’s always some sort of political shenanigans going on
fairy tales become so much more interesting when you add political intrigue. the firstborn princess was locked in a tower after losing a war of succession. dragons regularly kidnap heirs to the throne as leverage for land rights treaties. sleeping beauty was doomed to sleep for a century bc of erstwhile trade disputes.
Back in August when my girlfriend and I went to see the twenty one pilots concert I had my gf buzz my hair because it was getting way too hot, but before I buzzed it, it was like a shoulder length wolf cut kind of style with black on top and red underneath, so for the concert I literally went from having Josh’s haircut to having Tyler’s haircut
To all TOP blogs : - )
Hey guys! I've been following a lot of inactive TOP blogs and my dash is mostly dead these days. If you love TOP and post a lot about them, please REBLOG this post, so I can follow you! And maybe more people will find cool active TOP blogs to follow this way ^_^
Thankssssss :*
Farewell online privacy
I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.
Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.
Please vote istg this is the only way anything will get better. Poilievre has been kissing millionaires and billionaires asses. He'll make life even harder, and he loves Trump.
Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you aren't Canadian.
Honestly as a blind person I’m so tired of seeing fictional blind characters who don’t use white canes or other guides. “They have special powers so they know what’s around them” or “they’re confident enough to not need a guide” are common tropes, and I’m tired.
Are people scared that using a white cane will make their blind character seem weak? They can’t use a cane because they’re so special that they already know what’s around them, and other blind people who use guides are inferior because they’re not special?
I’m tired. Give your blind characters white canes and other guides. Let them hold onto their friends, let them have guide dogs. Don’t make white cane users feel ostracized for not being “strong enough” to go without.
Another thing that pisses me off is when a sighted character comes up with the fantasy equivalent of braille and teaches it to the blind character. Braille was invented by Louis Braille, a blind man, in 1824. The blind character should be the one coming up with it.
Tldr I’m blind and tired of sighted people lol
🔪 Sighted People MUST Reblog This 🔪
One time we went over to my grandma’s house and she said “I was going to make cookies but then my get up and go got up and went” and I think that perfectly describes how I experience burnout and executive dysfunction. Like I would love to do the thing, I had plans to do the thing, but all drive and ability to actually Do The Thing got up and left the room
Love nonbinary people forever, regardless of how they look, how they present, what pronouns do they look or whether they want to pursue medical transition or not. An AMAB nb person has a beard and looks like a bear? Good for them. An AFAB agender person is breasting boobily down the stairs? Good for them! A genderflux person decides to pursue medical transition and still be genderflux? Fantastic stuff imo. A nonbinary person does not want to disclose their ASAB? Also great! Again, love nonbinary people forever, unconditionally so.
As far as I'm concerned, all math is girl math. Knowing the ways to make numbers reveal their secrets for you and make them show you numbers that aren't right there is witchraft, and witchraft is women's work.
What’d I tell ya
I keep getting Taimi ads about “hot gay guys in your area!” My brother in Christ, I am a lesbian. I am the wrong flavor of gay for these ads. And ironically enough I already met my girlfriend through your app
Yesterday my girlfriend and I went to a new store in the mall and they were playing twenty one pilots so ofc we were singing along, and the person working there came up to us and asked if we were clikkies too and asked if there were any tøp songs we wanted them to play, but we couldn’t decide bc how do you choose just one tøp song? And that’s how we ended up jamming out to The Pantaloon and Migraine at the mall
It’s a Routines in the Night kind of day
reblog to give your headache to elon musk instead

Tiny forest for your dash
This is gorgeous, this feels like the song sounds
should they keep it on display or redecorate?
nicotine addicted Jim Gordon, yes, but imagine him ripping a bright pink vape at a crime scene instead of cigarettes and blowing the most obnoxious, cotton candy-flavored cloud into the air while he’s working the case.
Batman: “What do we know about the victim?”
Jim Gordon, hitting his vape so hard everyone within ten feet feels their eyes water: “…cause of death was asphyxiation.”
Batman: “you don’t say.”
My grandpa still has a bunch of trees from his dad’s apple orchard, and my cousins and I used to go out and pick apples every time we visited in the fall. I would love to learn how to take care of fruit trees but I’m so bad with plants
Tom Brown, a 79-year-old from Clemmons, North Carolina, has spent over 20 years of his retirement tracking down rare, nearly extinct apple varieties that once flourished across Appalachia. Driven by his passion for rediscovering these heirlooms, Brown has revived more than 1,200 unique apple types with whimsical names like Brushy Mountain Limbertwig, Mule Face, and Tucker’s Everbearing.
His journey began in 1998 after encountering heritage apples at a farmers’ market, inspiring him to search for “lost” apples that hadn’t been tasted in over a century. Stretching across the Appalachian region—from southern New York to northern Alabama—Brown scours old maps, orchard catalogs, and historical records, often driving hours and knocking on doors to find forgotten orchards or lone trees tucked in remote areas.
When he finds a lost variety, Brown grafts clippings onto trees in his own orchard, where he cultivates and sells them for just $15 to encourage others to create “mini preservation orchards.” Despite the challenge of aging trees and a dwindling population of local knowledge keepers, Brown remains determined, calling the work both fun and fulfilling.
“It’s a thrill to rediscover them,” he says. “I’m happy as a lark.” Brown’s mission not only preserves these apples but also honors the heritage of the region, where generations of families once prided themselves on cultivating unique varieties in their backyards.
So, I saw this image on Facebook, and it was supposedly showing what Queen Nefertiti would have looked like in real life:
Now, I thought this AI generated garbage was just truly terrible on a number of levels; first off, she looks wayyyyyy too modern - her makeup is very “Hollywood glamour”, she looks airbrushed and de-aged, and as far as I’m aware, Ancient Egyptians didn’t have mascara, glitter-based eyeshadows and lip gloss. Secondly, her features are exceptionally whitewashed in every sense - this is pretty standard for AI as racial bias is prevalent in feeding AI algorithms, but I genuinely thought a depiction of such a known individual would not exhibit such euro-centric features. Thirdly, the outfit was massively desaturated and didn’t take pigment loss into consideration, and while I *do* like the look of the neck attire, it's not at all accurate (plus, again, AI confusion on the detailing is evident).
So, this inspired me to alter the image on the left to be more accurate based off the sculpture’s features. I looked into Ancient Egyptian makeup and looked at references for kohl eyeliner and clay-based facial pigment (rouge was used on cheeks, charcoal-based powder/paste was used to darken and elongate eyebrows), and I looked at pre-existing images of Nefertiti, both her mummy and other reconstructions. While doing this, I found photos of a 3D scanned sculpture made by scientists at the University of Bristol and chose to collage the neck jewellery over the painting (and edited the lighting and shadows as best as I could).
Something I see a lot of in facial recreations of mummies is maintaining the elongated and skinny facial features as seen on preserved bodies - however, fat, muscle and cartilage shrink/disappear post mortem, regardless of preservation quality; Queen Nefertiti had art created of her in life, and these pieces are invaluable to developing an accurate portrayal of her, whether stylistic or realistic in nature.
And hey, while I don't think my adjustments are perfect (especially the neck area), I *do* believe it is a huge improvement to the original image I chose to work on top of.
I really liked working on this project for the last few days, and I think I may continue to work on it further to perfect it. But, until then, I hope you enjoy!
Remember, likes don't help artists but reblogs do!
Sometimes little pleasures in life are loadbearing. Whenever someone is like "If you'd just give up tea and coffee and sugar and--" im like I'll stop you right there. Because if you finish that sentence i am going to kill everyone in this building and then myself. If i have to face the horrors of the world without my little jar of caramel flavoured instant coffee i am going to go full American Psycho. Believe it or not, my main priority in life is not to have perfect teeth or be an Olympic athlete or look like a supermodel, but to actually enjoy living, because I spent far too long not doing that and it royally sucked. And boy, some people don't like hearing that. Particularly dentists
If you notice me reblogging

etc.
please let me know, you’re not rude or annoying and I actually do give a fuck and I will correct my mistake, thank you
