‘selene thrown down by argus’ - ferdinand keller (1886)

this painting depicts a scene from georg eber’s 1880 novel ‘the emperor’. as the woman navigates the halls of a unfamiliar house in the night, she encounters argus - ‘something which as she approached it resembled a dog, and which was larger—much larger—than a dog should be.’ she attempts to flee the monstrous creature but is violently struck down, dying where she lay.

a painting from last year i never posted here for some reason 

Through the Woods by Emily Carroll is the perfect, eerie, autumn/winter read.

Sigan creyendo esos cuentos de que el calentamiento global no existe, esos cuentos de que las cifras de CO2 siguen igual. Háganse de los oídos sordos, sean indiferentes. Sigan regalando sus votos por puestos de trabajo, por comida o por otra cosa. Dejen que los gobernantes hagan de las suyas. El planeta está en llamas y a nosotros nos importa un comino.

I Don’t Know How But They Found Me

November 4th, 2018

Live at The Senate, Columbia, SC

i’m going to take a moment to deviate from my usual posts, so bear with me: the actress starring in the 2020 Mulan remake, Liu Yifei, has just voiced her support for the Hong Kong police. these are the police who have been brutalizing protestors for several months now with batons, tear gas, and rubber bullets, and recently blinded a young medic in one eye. Liu has a social media platform of 65 million followers, and has been in the national spotlight since her casting - her words have influence and impact. her conscious decision to stand by the HK police sends a clear message: that violence against civilians is acceptable as a means of control, intimidation, and suppression.

this breaks my heart. as a person of Chinese descent, Mulan’s character was a source of inspiration and empowerment throughout my childhood, and I’m sure I wasn’t alone in my excitement to see the remake, but I’m even more saddened and disgusted by Liu Yifei’s support of the police. note that Liu is a naturalized American citizen, and reaps the benefits of freedom and democracy in the US while supporting those who are fighting to silence it in China.

if Mulan were real and here now, she would be out on the streets of Hong Kong, fighting for the fundamental rights of 7 million Hong Kong citizens. please, please, please consider boycotting this movie. skip it, pirate it, do what you need to do, but show that you won’t stand for police brutality.

DO NOT FUCKING CLICK ON THE FIC LINK. ITS SOMETHING THAT GRABS YOUR PASSWORD. I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS.

I REPEAT. DONT FUCKING. CLICK. ON THE FIC.

RB THIS. RB THIS. RB THIS. RB THIS. RB THIS. RB THIS.

CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD IF YOU’VE EVER CLICKED ON THE LINK.  CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD IF YOU’VE EVER CLICKED ON THE LINK.  CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD IF YOU’VE EVER CLICKED ON THE LINK.  CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD IF YOU’VE EVER CLICKED ON THE LINK. 

As far as I can gather from the notes, it’s essentially a link to like… a phishing site or something that grabs your password, but it’s embedded within a plain text version of an AO3 link. It’s… bad. Post is apparently from about June 6, 2019.

Reposting on the off chance this might be legit

WTF?!? Reblogging to save an account. Careful, peeps!!

thank god he can now make gay jokes in peace

I’ve never been into Dan and Phil but I did watch Dan Howell’s coming out video, and I’m happy for him.

But here’s the thing. He said some things in that video that are going to piss off a lot of gatekeepers: that he’s most comfortable with queer, that the word he has trauma around is gay, that acephobia is bad, that we should respect microlabels (”mogai labels”). What this means is that there are probably a lot of very angry exclusionists going through all his past activity as we speak to dig up something they can use to discredit him. If he’s had a significant internet presence since 2009, they will find something.

The reason I’m saying this is that you may very well see some extreme and sensationalist accusations about him suddenly coming to light. Before you believe or spread them, you have to find out what the evidence is, what the context was, whether the facts actually support the specific accusations that are being leveled, and whether the op has any motive to fabricate it, exaggerate about what happened, or exclude important details. 

We’ve seen this happen to other queer youtubers after they said things that exclusionists didn’t like, and I don’t want to watch it happen again. Be careful.
