Gothic Horror Films of the 21st Century

how the fuck did all of those renaissance dilettantes learn so much crap? Like they spoke 3 languages and were foremost in several branches of science, plus they wrote poetry, played the violin, and were master artists? And they still had time to be gay? 

none of them ever did any laundry at all

The emotional and physical labor necessary to maintain the lifestyles of Renaissance and Enlightenment polymaths was shunted almost entirely to their uncredited servants, slaves, wives, and daughters. 

Whenever we compare ourselves to the ‘genius men’ of the past, and wonder why we fall so short, remember this: their intellectual capacity, energy, and freedom was because there was someone else washing the damn dishes.

Rosalind Miles’ “Who Cooked the Last Supper?” is about how women throughout history provided critical services so men could have leisure time.

Fuck

I forget that there’s folks who haven’t heard this so I always reblog.

Oh look! It’s why I wrote this:

Stop Measuring Your Time in Beyoncé Hours

Somewhere, lost in the clouded annals of history, lies a place that few have seen — a mysterious place called the Unknown, where long forgotten stories are revealed to those who travel through the wood.

Do you have an advice to draw eyebrows ? Nothing complicated, just simple and relaxed but it’s so difficult for me. Not the right shade, too short, too long, too high or too low. I can’t seem to find the “good” placement nor texture. I know it will come with experience but this in particular have me very frustrated, as I do (not very good but) okay with lips and eye contour.

if you haven’t seen some already, check eyebrow tutorials or tutorials from goth who shave and draw their eyebrows on. That’s what I do with my own eyebrows, so now doll eyebrows aren’t as hard

Angels in the Bible: “Hey do you - stop screaming I’m sent by God - do you need help getting out of this situation?”

The sun is probably the closest thing we’ll ever have to a true Eldritch Abomination. Hear me out here-

dont talk or think about this please

Always talk and think about this.

They won’t let me do otherwise

“My wife was tired of our dog sleeping in our bed at night. So i decided to build him his own house.“

isn’t that the neck tattoo guy

This guy needs to slow down 😂😂😂

THAT’S WHERE I RECOGNIZED HIM FROM

But how could you leave out this masterpiece???

I love him

yall r missing the BEST one

I might have just found myself a new idol

I just taught my dad what the word cishet was and he just walked down the stairs and said “cishet coming down”

minimize is the funniest move in pokemon

any white at a protest who tries to go against police and deliberately provoke a response from them is not to be trusted and does not have the safety of black and brown people in mind.

there is a good chance that they are police too. if anyone, especially a white dude, ever randomly gets your attention and conspiratorially tries to convince you to jump a police officer, then dude is a cop. They have been using this technique and script for at least 30 years.

Check their fucking shoes. They’re always too afraid that their little toesies will be hurt so they’ll usually still be rocking the exact same boots as the guys on the other side. This was what gave the cops away when they provoked riots in Toronto a while back.

@talesofalamia, remember when I pointed out the shoes of the two well-dressed informants near us?

Similar note: IME, unmarked cruisers have five distinguishing traits: 1. They’re one of the department-issue models. 2. They’re always white, black, or dark blue. 3. They always look like they just rolled out of a car wash. 4. Usually rocking restricted plates. 5. Most reliable if present but hardest to spot: Their mirrors are bulkier, to fit the light rigs in.

In Austin the under cover officer that tried to convince me to set a cop car on fire had a convincing fake beard.

Be careful out there and read up on common tactics used against protestors before going.

You can usually see the stealth lights if you look into the grill.

Besides the old obvious as fuck Crown Victoria, be suspicious of 2013+ Ford Taurus and Explorer, 2006+ Dodge Charger and Dakota, 06-13 Chevy Impala, 11+ Chevy Caprice and both the Tahoe and Suburban.

Look for oversize mirrors, plugs on the roof and/or A pillar, lights inside the grill, extraneous lights inside the headlight assembly, lights tucked up behind the rear view mirror, steel wheels with or without wheel covers, and plugs or short antennas on the trunk lid.

UM EXCUSE ME THOS E ARE FUCKING PIXELS HOW

Seize the Day was a calendar program made by in 1994 by Buena Vista software. It features graphics that at the time, were revolutionary because of the way they handled color cycling. These images were static bitmaps, but by changing color values, they appear animated. What is also impressive about these images is that they had full day night cycles built in, rendered also through color cycling. A few years ago, a html5 version was made. A copy was uncovered online and there is a way to use the program through DOSbox. As well, one of the original programmers for the project, Iam Gilman, has thought of the idea of remaking it, open sourced, for modern machines.

thanks for writing a more elaborate explanation. i’ve seen these pictures be spread like wildfire without mention of the technology behind it.

***IMPORTANT ELEPHANT VIDEO!!***

I reblog this every time I see it, because the part that makes this so horrific to me, is that the room is a direct callback to Goodnight Moon. It takes this memory of safety and security and turns it directly upside down and I love it.

LMAO CAN YOU FUCKING IMAGINE HAVING THE MONEY TO EAT LIKE THIS THO

The average price for chicken breast is around $3.20/lb

One pound of rice is maybe a dollar

Fresh broccoli is typically 2 bucks per pound

You can buy a 5-pound bag of russet potatoes for 3 dollars (about 60 cents/lb)

12 count eggs are around a dollar

You’re looking at maybe $10 without tax for more than one lunch meal, you could probably get at least 3 meals out of the list above (about $3.33 for each meal). That’s far from expensive.

Meat is the most expensive part of these meals and can be exchanged for cheaper meats.

Its cheaper when you buy from grocery stores

You guys just don’t know how to: take advantage of sales and coupons, spend according to a budget, and meal plan.

The meals shown above are nothing special, there are no expenive Super Foods. Theyre all just balanced meals, they all have fruit, vegetables, protein, grains, and some bit of fats

I’ve been doing this for a few weeks now and it’s a lot easier on my budget than even thinking about going out to eat.  And they’re more filling, too.

It can be cheaper, but the big killer here is TIME. People dont always have the free time to do all this shopping, cooking and meal prep.

Dont get me wrong, I like these, but its not a realistic solution for everyone.

Everyone please look at this snapping turtle, walking to the pond outside my house, still groggy from a 6-month nap.

the music made this one of the most hilarious things i have ever seen, thank you so much.

when the math teacher shoots you for experimenting on his little brother and blames you for his death

when your school doctor turns you into a biological weapon because he was obsessed with your dead father

when your only friend and tutor kills you and steals your identity to track down and murder a school doctor

When you have a deadly disease so you kill yourself but your brother blames himself for your death and shoots the doctor that was trying to kill everyone with your disease

when your death threw your assistant into depression, causing him to kill a boy, a spy hiding as a student, almost kill your son and nearly caused a genocide but you’re living it up in bird heaven

When all you want is some dang PUDDING and to meet GOD

Visited the Homeland last week

ordering pizza

this is what i do everytime and then last time i did it i got a call from an old chinese man saying “i’m the only one working is it ok if i come”

he got a $20 tip

Hey as a manager at a pizza shop, this makes us all uncomfortable. Wether it be a boy or girl driver I HAVE to tell them to be vigilant. Don’t go into the house. Don’t speak more than necessary. Don’t give them your name. Leave if you feel unsafe, I don’t care if they don’t get their food. Call me when you’re coming back so I know you’re okay.

The company (before I worked there of course) had a girl kidnapped because of this! Because the manager at the time didn’t think to send another employee seeing as it was close to midnight! Thankfully they got her back within a day. I don’t care if you’re just trying to be funny. This is predatory and very scary.

Side note that’s related: DON’T HIT ON YOUR DRIVERS! Unless the show signs of wanting to get to know you or something, don’t make them uncomfortable. I had to put a guy on the DON’T DELIVER list because he kept calling for my 17yo female employee, only wanted her, no one else. I refused to send her and then he started coming in and wanted to talk to her. She was terrified, rightfully so. She also told me about a month after she quit, she swore she saw him walking around her neighborhood. She had to put a restraining order against the fucker.

LEAVE THE DRIVERS ALONE YOU CREEPS.

If you’re around 18 and you dont find this nostalgic I feel bad for your childhood

I had that EXACT Doodle Bear! I actually thrifted it in college back in the late 2000s. I gave it to my young niece.
