THE COMPLETE MONA LISA

Few people know that the commonly known Mona Lisa (Actually entitled La Gioconda by Leonardo da Vinci) is only part of the full painting. The lower half is seldom unveiled as it’s considered to be of lesser quality than the top of the painting, and possibly unfinished by the artist.

But the Louvre today unveiled the lower half for a new exhibition taking place until this summer. Said Louvre Curator Lou V’Curador, “The Mona Lisa, as it’s known, is more than people think. Leonardo was ahead of his time and this threatened art critics of his era so he kept the lower portion hidden and until now, we at the Louvre have respected this concept. But we felt the time was right to showcase the full work.”

V’Curador went on to explain that many modern art aficionados would be upset by the unveiling, and that it would hurt some of their feelings. But V’Curador explained, it was important to the art world as a whole, and everyone knew- He had to do it to ‘em.

Lou V’Curador.

Lou V’Curador.

Lou V’Curador.

Lou V’Curador.

Please refer to him by his proper title, Louvre Curator Lou V’Curador.

You might say he was born for the job

Louis Donatien Alphonse François V’Curador was born in 1977 in a village near Lyon. From an early age he expressed an interest in art. Even at age four he poured over books by Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo. He always favored the classics, eschewing anything newer than early impressionists.

He began to work at the Louvre in the 90s as a preservation coordinator, under former curator Ancien Conservateur. Ancien did not make sweeping changes in policy nor function. All who knew her said she preserved a good status quo, treated everyone well, and upheld the balance between the four major departments of the Louvre:

Paintings, Sculptures, Instillations, and Preservation. Under Conservateur’s leadership, the four departments lived together in harmony. But everything changed when the Painting department expanded into the north wing and annexed budgetary concerns from the other departments. Only Conservateur, master of all four departments, could stop them, but when the Louvre needed her most, she vanished.

Time passed and the Louvre elected a new curator, Louis “Lou” V’Curador. And although his departmental interbudgetary planning skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he’s ready to reorganize the spending policy register. But I believe Lou V’Curador can save the museum:

Why is it so hard to believe that four years of trump would motivate a large, otherwise apathetic percentage of our population to run down to the polls and vote for “literally anyone but this orange fuck over here?” How can anyone be struggling with this notion?

It’s like being asked why you wrestled your magnum away from your hyperactive toddler who was running around with it? Because enough was enough, goddamnit. There are enough holes in the wall as it is.

Goddamn morons.

hey man I'm going to need you to read the meme one more time. Carefully

It’s not really directed at you, more of a general question.

Read THAT carefully. Not everything is about you.

a friend of mine is allergic to salad, when he eats salad he literally throws up

ok. i am not your friend who is allergic to salad though

How you be allergic to salad? it’s not a specific food. It’s not. It’s an assembly method for a lovely cold-food. It doesn’t have to have dressing. it doesn’t have to have lettuce. Shredded broccoli and cheese with herbs in a oil-and-vinegar dressing. Raisins and shredded carrots in that weird sweet dressing. Weird dry salad.

I don’t know why everyone wants to be a contrarian about this. We all know they were referring to leafy green salads, which is the most common kind of salad, and lettuce is a common trigger for several GI issues (which a friend might mislabel as “allergies”). Regardless, it is possible to be allergic to pretty much every ingredient in a salad.

cool but i am still not the guy who is allergic to salad

Everyone who wants to join tumblr should be shown this post as a warning for what they’re getting into.

When the DM says something like “The room appears to be empty” or “so you touch the object?”

Fun DM tip: always do that. Even if it really is empty or nothing will happen. Really helps curb meta gamming and can get some funny reactions. My favorite is asking how they open the door or asking “so you just stand in front of it and open it normally” then suddenly they’re trying to describe a totally abnormal way of opening a door that doesnt involve them being in front of it

niko thats mean

When my players roll a bad perception check I like to say, “there *seems* to be nothing there.” Especially if there is actually nothing there.

This is my method of describing incidents to build tension. I swear, some of the best ‘traps’ in my campaigns, have been just how I word their checks to make them doubt literally every possibility in a dungeon.

The fact that “dolls having a tea party” has stuck around in the public consciousness is fascinating to me.

Like, back in the Old Days that would be a way that women would actually socialize.  So if a girl had a doll tea party, she was imitating her mom / other contemporary women.

But these days contemporary women don’t have tea parties. So now, the idea of “dolls having a tea party” is an echo of an extinct behavior, only repeated and referenced because it used to be so prevalent.

So a Barbie in a big hat themed for a tea party is a bit like if they made Transformers that turned into stagecoaches and horse-drawn buggies.

Like I wouldn’t buy the fuck out of stagecoach transformers

DO NOT SUPPORT SALVATION ARMY 

I can back this up. It isn’t only their shelters.

I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.

My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.

Do not give to the Salvation Army.

Do Not. Give. To. Salvation. Army

My turn.

I’m a wildfire and disaster logistics specialist.

I deal with a lot of agencies who provide disaster relief.

I used to say the Salvation Army’s disaster services were the one (literally the ONE) good thing they did.

They would come in, set up a canteen trailer, make and pass out hot coffee and donated food in a disaster, usually being one of the first agencies to get there and the last to leave.

Then I found out.

Every time they did this, regardless of if they were actually invited or deployed by the agency in charge (usually FEMA, sometimes others) they would SELF-DEPLOY. Meanjng they would just show up. Ok. That’s not TOO bad, sometimes agencies have to take initiative and get there before the red tape is sorted out. BUT. They, after they left at the end of the incident, they would send FEMA or the host agency a BILL. They used one or two paid employees (usually the driver of the truck and a supervisor); and many VOLUNTEERS, but they would bill for EVERYONE’s Labor at standard federal rates. They would bill for the food they distributed even though it was all donated by another agency or private parties. They would bill for the coffee they made and the supplies. Except they would use electricity from the shelter location, water from donations or from the shelter, and in many cases, they would get the coffee and industrial filters DONATED, but bill for them at retail prices.

Don’t FUCKING give to the Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army is also ass to the workers. A good number of people join it, naively thinking that it’s doing good, and end up leaving cynical and beaten down. The management is hostile, if not outright abusive, and demand some ridiculous hours of it lower to mid-level staff. Don’t support these people.

Unsettling update

Find better local charities and shelters and give to them instead!

Also just for even more horrific context on the original twitter thread?

Salvation Army reached out to Milknmuffins and asked what shelter she’s at with the promise to address the abuse in it. She…ended up saying where she was. She was thrown out onto the street. It’s also all on Twitter.

They invited her to a personal talk so she could explain the situation in person.

And then they threatened her with a screenshot of a rape-threat made supposedly by her:

And then threw her out into the street while claiming she broke house rules that

So yeah, the Salvation Army is a bunch of entitled assholes that will treat the most vulnerable like shit if they dare try to do anything that makes them look bad

The “Fuck Salvation Army” posts are making the rounds again, so conisder this your reminder: Do. Not. Give. These. Assholes. A. Single. Fucking. Penny.

Do not support them in any way, shape, or form.

‘Tis the season to say FUCK the Salvation Army.

They also don’t pay their female workers, and instead pay THEIR HUSBANDS because they still believe that women are property that don’t deserve their own money. I’m not surprised at this behavior at all.

They are also EXTREMELY racist and homophobic. I still don’t understand how they can exist.

I have made a meme to explain how Millennials aren’t destroying industries, the industries are destroying us:

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I want to say I am delighted at everyone saying “this is the worst graph mathematically but I get your point and approve”.

Fox Mulder is such an amazing character, though, because on paper, he sucks: Wiseass federal agent with a porn addiction who is obsessed with conspiracy theories, thinks he’s the smartest guy in every room that he’s in, and is just hot enough to be dangerous.

But David Duchovny plays him with such dumb, gleeful kid energy that suddenly it all just…works. You can’t hate him. Look at him!

He’s got nonthreatening male sexuality of a Disney prince in the 90s. You look at him and think Look at this hot idiot, He’s trying his best. All he wants to do is get laid, infodump to his girlfriend, and meet a real life dracula. He’s like if you turned an orange male cat into a human. He definitely owns an album of Halloween sound effects. He’s six feet tall but he’s just a little guy.
