people reblogging that vidfeo of the actual dead human body stuffed in a bag in a suitcase cause it starts off as a quirky tictok video i dont maybe you shouldnt since thats a person. youre making other people look at a dead person a real person that died horrifically . thats a person. thats a person . theres a person in there. thats a person

If you see this:

Don’t watch it. Don’t like it. Don’t reblog it.

This is a confirmed thing. There are multiple news articles on it because they literally had to call the police. This happened in Seattle.

While the video does not contain gore it does contain images of the suitcase and them literally opening it.

Please. That’s a human. That’s a human being who was already disrespected and defiled enough to begin with. Please.

Don’t disrespect them and don’t push a video that makes people witness a dead body.

This is what I mean when I say social media is LITERALLY desensitizing us to tragedies. There’s no respect or regard for human life this is literally supposed to be clickbait. It’s supposed to be shocking and get the person who posted it views there’s no respect there’s no honor. This is just as bad as the stunt Logan Paul pulled going into the forest in Japan KNOWN for people going in to commit suicide this is a big trend in this generation and it needs to end immediately.

THANK YOU! I saw this with no context with what it was going to be. Tiktoks are not the place you expect to see people finding fucking corpses

What is beauty to the extreme? This is it. This is the Queen of cats. Gentle, atmospheric, noble, elegant, fashionable, all the beautiful words cannot describe its goodness.

Other people who give advice on “downsizing” your lifestyle: “you are a diseased prisoner shackled by your enjoyment of anything and if you don’t throw your collectibles in the garbage you are garbage yourself”

Marie: ”oh you’re happy having 100 more things than you need??? Maybe you should get even more.”

marie: you have literally no option but to pursue things that make you happy, and thus your very large pen collection cannot be considered junk, since it brings you joy

We’re all having “hard conversations” about racism, police brutality, and #BlackLivesMatter I hope. 

You’ve probably noticed that detractors often use the same “racist talking points” in response. Here’s a researched and sourced guide to help you answer, for the times you may get stuck.

Attention non-artists who commission artists: don’t fuckin do this???

Actually had someone do this to me too. Was doing a art stream, it took me over 2 hours to do his inked commission, he got a refund cause ‘it took too long’ that he figured I wasn’t going to do it after I gave him the file.

Don’t do this. Do not.

I’ve had this happen to me with a $350 comic :/ I had already finished it, it was full color, 6 panels and had a full bg in every panel. I was lucky in that I didn’t spend him money yet, but it left me without funds. I’ve also had the above happen to me as well.

Don’t do this shit to artists. We’re people too. Drawing for you is more than a hobby. It’s a job.

Use Paypal Invoices. 

I cannot stress this enough. That shit helps A LOT when it comes down to Paypal refunds/disputes. There’s a description box that let’s you put in what the product is/how long it’ll take/yadda yadda, and then there’s another little memo box that only you and paypal can see where you can say it’s a digital commission and doesn’t require shipping (So Donald Mcfuck can’t say that they never got their commission). And there’s also a box for your Terms & Conditions where you can say, if you have any conflicts/want a refund - email me, or you can actually tell the user that this is a digital commission and they won’t be getting a hard copy of it.

ARTISTS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL INVOICES. it will SAVE you. And to: the people who do this to artists – Fuck you. It’s okay if you change your mind and want a refund. But freaking TALK to us and let us know what’s going on. Let us WORK with you.

ALSO A HUGE TIP: Invoices paid will automatically set up a shipping notice which, if not fulfilled, can land you in SERIOUS hot water with PayPal. Since a lot of artists don’t print and ship the commissions, this is a huge problem.

However! Totally manageable. Just go to your PayPal, scroll down to find Seller Preferences

>> Shipping Preferences

>> Display Ship Button. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked. Then you’re all set!

As a big supporter of artists, don’t you ever fucking dare fuck over an artist like that. Like don’t. And if they take their time to do a good job, don’t shit all over them for it! Don’t be a fucking ass hole. Just don’t. These people put a  LOT of work and time and effort into their artwork. Just don’t be that guy. Often times these artists aren’t even getting what they deserve in compensation. 

I am very grateful my customers have been good to me, but I’m spreading the word.

Very important!

As a new artist, I’m very grateful for this post. Never knew this. Thank you.

I won’t get mad or anything. It’s important to make sure you feel comfortable and secure.

“I think the experience gap between a 19 year old and a 35 year old is too large to result in a healthy romantic relationship without a power imbalance,” I say.

I pause.

“But of course I’d date a 3,000 year old shapeshifting dragon demi-god if the opportunity arose. Why do you ask?”

Large gaps in the first few years of young adulthood: eek… I recognize that you’re an adult and have a right to make your own decisions but please please please be cautious and think very critically about why your partner isn’t dating someone with more life under their belt, don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice enforcing your boundaries and remember your first obligation is to yourself

Large age gaps after several years of adult independence and self-discovery: use your best judgement, I might raise an eyebrow but I’ll trust you to know what you want and what works for you on an individual basis

Large age gaps when one partner is an ancient supernatural dragon god or some shit: 😎 YOLO don’t get et

I've been left without my pastel colors because the company I buy clay from is actually one guy and he went for a trip. That inspired me to use my neon colors I haven't really found use for yet and I am in love with the stuff I made.

Unfortunately I'll be closed probably till the end of the month so I can't show you the full alien collection yet but I hope you'll like it.

And I should be getting my shipment of clay tomorrow so I'll be able to get back to my orders.

The Stanford prison experiment tapes were so stupid when I watched them in AP psych and so stupid when I watch this film about them. Literally they could’ve all sat and played cards and got $15 a day to tell ghost stories all day and be best friends. But masculinity and whiteness and power created this violent irrationality that positioned young ass men to be met with brutality and trauma and disrespect even when it was obviously taken too far. and it makes no sense. If someone put me in a room with Black girls and said I would get paid $90 a day (that’s the equivalent apparently) to be a prison guard, do you know how fast I’d be sitting with them and learning about them and exchanging Instagrams and like.. sleeping.. like what the fuck was the point of any of that…

My psych teacher introduced us to this study and literally before she showed us was like “don’t ever confuse a study based on one type of person (white men/boys) to be an example of an Everyman situation. There is strong evidence that if this was recreated with diversity, or even just with girls, that the results would have been drastically different. This is an example of bias and sexism in the medical research community.”

“Other, more subtle factors also shaped the experiment. It’s often said that the study participants were ordinary guys—and they were, indeed, determined to be “normal” and healthy by a battery of tests. But they were also a self-selected group who responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking volunteers for “a psychological study of prison life.” In a 2007 study, the psychologists Thomas Carnahan and Sam McFarland asked whether that wording itself may have stacked the odds. They recreated the original ad, and then ran a separate ad omitting the phrase “prison life.” They found that the people who responded to the two ads scored differently on a set of psychological tests. Those who thought that they would be participating in a prison study had significantly higher levels of aggressiveness, authoritarianism, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and social dominance, and they scored lower on measures of empathy and altruism.” http://www.newyorker.com/science/maria-konnikova/the-real-lesson-of-the-stanford-prison-experiment

The thing about this study is that whether or not it’s generalizable to the public is debatable at best.

But it’s certainly generalizable to the population of people who tend to be drawn to prison system and law enforcement jobs because that’s exactly the demographics that tend to show up in those positions.
