i don’t know where the notion that if you don’t give big bucks to an artist then you’re not really supporting them came from, but when people say even a tiny bit of monetary support saves an artist, it’s not for the aesthetic or the gesture of it all. i’ve been able to have actual drinking water on days i’ve been incredibly broke simply because someone bought a brush pack for 2 euros. in the most actual, literal way i could possibly convey this: the SMALLEST amount counts. in practice counts. people-get-to-eat-today counts. especially in this age of everyone and their mother being out to deplatform artists. there’s value in the tiniest of ways

#don’t get me started on how sharing people’s works helps bring in the money down the line even if all you did was reblog something#a little bit goes a long way#that is all

Hello friends, I'll be trying my luck here. Here's a lucky black cat to start with!!

This amethyst necklace is from around 1900 - isn’t it lovely? I love the tiny seed pearl-set stars.

The goblin meets your eyes and nods in agreement, unable to believe this shit either.

For all my people with ME/CFS:

After infection with COVID, this study shows reactivation of dormant viruses and immune exhaustion. This fits with reports coming from physicians and patients of ME/CFS getting exacerbated or returning after COVID infection. I can't emphasize enough how important it is for us to not be infected or reinfected with COVID.

Small reminder for my Texas/southwest peope. Going to be expecially nasty next week. Stay hydrated, stay cool, keep an eye on your neighbors.

Popping this back up, since it’s getting hot here, and won’t get any cooler ‘til October.  Stay hydrated, friends!

Anyway, in light of all the people discussing the Titanic today, I really recommend Tasting History's videos on the history of the ship through the lens of food and the meals people would have eaten. I find them to be a more meaningful examination of the disaster and its human cost than any fixation on seeing the wreck in person.

I saw this at QuiltCon 2023 in Atlanta today and wanted to share. I have so many more pictures and can’t share them all right now, but this peaceful scene felt like a good one to leave you with for now

Here’s another one of the quilts from QuiltCon that will really stay with me. I have never in my life made anything like this, the technical skills are truly incredible. The award was well-deserved.

A light in my house suddenly turned on- AND WHO DO I SEE?!?!

You too can look like this happy smiling couple who is not at all traumatized by their stay at Castle Dracula with this shirt I designed many months ago and definitely did not forget that we're selling

Please wish my cat a happy 15th birthday!!!

She may be considered a senior citizen but she is still baby

That sweet face! Happy Birthday!

what would you do if that was you?

this is one of the few instances where watching the entire video was worth the punchline at the very end

The Fool symbolises the beginning of a long and fruitful journey. This card embodies innocence and naivete. The Fool usually indicates stepping into a world in which you are lacking experience but ready to spring forward anyway. It presents a choice to indulge your desires and embark on your wildest dreams without hesitation. Your optimism will protect you in these untested waters and will block out all the fear and doubts that usually come with beginning something new and hard.

18 shades of gay ~ claude cormier + associés | photos © as noted

For those who were wondering WHERE is this, it’s the “Quartier Gay” at Montréal (province of Québec, in Canada)

🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

It’s a really cool city and I love living there ngl

I miss the gay balls… I walked under them to get my groceries for two years. I confessed to my first girlfriend while walking under them. They made me feel at home in the Village and proud to be queer.

This whole thing was installed in summer 2011. The first few years, they were all pink, but in 2017 they got updated to the rainbow version from the picture. The installation was supposed to be temporary, but everyone loved it so much that they kept putting it back every summer for nine years . In the end, Claude Cormier (the artist) asked to have it taken down so other artists could use the space.

They sold the rows of balls to the public in 2019, and my mom actually got me one! It’s one of my favorite things I own.
