How it feels to be a hater but u only hate in private with ur best friend so it hurts nobody
all the photos of him are like this, I love that this guy understood he had been born with the face of a wizard or axe murderer and just leaned fully into it
he knew EXACTLY what he was doing
he got what he wanted
Also
WHY should i care if art i like is "secretly fetish art"?? okay? that's the artist's business, not mine. they're not somehow breaking my (or your) boundaries by publicly posting their art to social media
also "fetish art" is so broad and vague. next we're going to go after lesbians drawing attractive women and say it's WRONG and EVIL because SECRETLY they want to have SEX WITH WOMEN!!! do you not hear yourselves 😭😭😭
BUDDY you're a BOY you're a BIG BIG BOY you're a BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BOY you got mud on your face you BIG BIG BOY kicking your can all over the place singing WEE wee WEE wee WEE wee WEE wee

Chinese weighlifter Li Wenwen successfully defended her title, winning the gold medal in the women's over 81kg category at the Paris Olympics on Sunday!
In her private life, the Li is actually a fan of traditional Chinese Hanfa.

A TEAM OF ROBBERS JUST HEISTED NAPOLEON'S JEWELS FROM THE LOUVRE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, 7 MINUTES IN AND OUT, WHILE THE MUSEUM WAS OPEN AND TOURISTS WERE INSIDE
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yep, very funny how they are now probably going to try to sell them to an appallingly rich person who will lock them in a vault and only show them to like 3 people they can gloat to, or to someone who will destroy them to reset into smaller pieces that can be sold to people who are only very rich, instead of having them on display where anyone can come and see them (for free even, on the right days). This is obviously terribly amusing.
I've said this elsewhere but if the sacrifice of Marie Louise's emerald earrings (oh no whatever will we do if we can't see them) and Eugenie's 1354-diamond crown will bring about better working conditions for Louvre workers, who went on strike in June to protest the exact understaffing and over-burdening that led to the ease of this heist, plus renewed scrutiny of the notion that artifacts looted via violent colonial plunder (and not 7-minute looney tunes heists that hurt no one) cannot be returned to their home countries because they're "safer in European museums," I'd say this incident will be a net positive for the world
While we're here, might I interest everyone in an account of the artifacts Napoleon III and Eugenie stole from China?
Away from the crowds of tourists moving through the grand rooms of the French castle Fontainebleau is a quiet, darkened treasure room that houses a bizarre and exquisite collection of Asian artifacts. It is here that France keeps the Qing dynasty artifacts that Napoleon III’s troops looted from the Chinese emperor’s summer palace, Yuanmingyuan, in Beijing in 1860.
A jewel-encrusted golden stupa flanked by two elephant tusks, bronze dragons, fine porcelain, carved jade, cloisonné vases that French Empress Eugénie had French craftsmen make into a chandelier and candlesticks and bejeweled gold jewelry vie for space in crowded Chinese-style cabinets. On the ceiling are Tibetan thangkas taken from Yuanmingyuan. The items are in pristine condition, as though they had just been shipped from Chinese imperial workshops.
...
As the Anglo-French forces neared Beijing, Chinese officials detained and imprisoned an advance party sent to negotiate under a prearranged flag of truce. The foreign armies advanced to Beijing and French forces on October 7 broke into Yuanmingyuan, which the emperor and his entourage had vacated and which was guarded only by a few eunuchs. Soldiers lost control, running around in an orgy of indiscriminate looting. They lifted everything they could and destroyed objects that were too heavy to be removed. The British joined in. Priceless treasures were carted out of the palace and crated for shipment to Europe, where they now reside in some 47 museums and in private collections.
(I don't agree with everything written in the article, but it's a starting place to read more about the Old Summer Palace looting)
Her winter clothes are cute.
