One last call out for poverty

I thought I was done asking y’all to consider donating, but here I am one last time. I’m really begging for any help anyone could give right now. My fam is homeless and have been living out of their car. However, my dad just got a new job that will hopefully turn everything around for the better. But, the fam just got into a car wreck, so the car is in the impound and they are now officially living on the street. All donations will go toward the fee to get the car out of the impound lot so that they have shelter and dad can get to the airport for his first business trip of his new job. 

Alternatively, my CashApp is $KaylaOlson

This has seriously been one of the worst days of my life, guys. If anyone has anything they’re willing to throw into the pot, I’ll seriously just die from happiness. Remember that I have music commissions technically open too, so when this is all over if you want me to hit you up with a song just let me know.

i’m sharing for this sweet girl, whom i met through tumblr. i messaged her because i felt genuine solidarity with her, knowing we faced many of the same issues being on the other side of society. living paycheck to paycheck, not knowing we are going to have a roof over our heads or have food the next day. if any of you all can share this, or even pitch in to one of my dear friends, please do. thank you <3

this might sound like a weird question, but i am being completely sincere when i ask: how come in these paintings nobody has pubes?

This is totally a valid question and one many scholars have! 

Our obsession with body hair (and removing it) goes back way before waxing. There are several sixteenth century texts with recipes for mixtures that would remove hair, including pubic hair. Think of it as early modern Nair or the like. One such concoction even included arsenic- yikes. Another text stated good wives should remove their body hair for their husband. Here is a link to an article in Smithsonian magazine about hair removal. 

In renaissance art, nudes were often idealized depictions of the human body. This imagery goes back to antiquity. Greek and Roman statues featured hairless women which Renaissance artists later emulated (men’s statues sometimes had pubic hair carved into the body). Not only are women missing pubic hair in early modern art but leg and arm hair is conspicuously absent. Many artists used models, but they still created an often unrealistic version of nudity for women and men. If this is something you find interesting here is another ask about beauty standards from a while back.

i fucking hate this stupid piece of shit genie fuck him i hate him so fucking much

laughter is my gut reaction to witnessing pretty much anything i find unbelievable and i’m counting down the days until it causes problems. i remember once i had a teacher who was screaming at someone and she said to them “in this classroom, i am god” and not laughing was the most difficult thing i’ve ever done
