i love paintings that look as if they have ghosts in them

Avatar

this painting by andrew wyeth has got SO many ghosts in it. most andrew wyeth paintings have ghosts in, but this is off the scale!

this painting by dragan bibin has only one ghost as far as i can tell, but it's a really scary ghost (the dog thinks so too)

this painting by meraud guevara looks very peaceful, but unfortunately it has a ghost in it. i can't tell you where, but it does

you might think you can see the ghosts in this dorothea tanning painting, but you're wrong. the little girls are just ordinary girls. the actual ghost is behind one of those doors.

marvin cone. for fucks sake just look at it

The worst thing in the entire world is when you’re sweeping a big pile of dirt into a dustpan and it leaves that little coke line of grit behind. No matter how you position your pan or your broom and no matter how many times you sweep over it your outcome cannot change. As immovable as fate. I hate it so

Get a wet paper towel and wipe up the last line of dust with it. No fate is so immovable that we cannot change it.

"No fate is so immovable that we cannot change it" is a raw and inspiring quote I did not expect from a post about a minor chore annoyance xD

I want to go to this exact point and run around it saying “I’m in Sweden!” I’m in Finland!” “I’m in Norway!” until I get tired

i aspire to great things in life

According to Google Maps, that point is in the middle of a small lake.

So we’ll do it in January when it’s frozen.

actually that’s why they’ve helpfully dropped a big-ass cement block with a bridge surrounding it in the middle of the lake: for the express purpose of doing what OP aspires to do

there’s so much beauty in the world.

I'm going to need y'all to preemptively chill out because the actor's strike is going to mean a lot of things including shows and movies we've been anticipating being pushed way back, and absolutely minimal press tours for the next however long this lasts.

The effects of the writer's strike are months down the road which made it a whole lot easier to support because as third parties we weren't really being affected (yet), the effect of the actor's strike is going to be immediate and we're going to get a lot more propaganda of "these people are overpaid to begin with."

Remember our desire for content does not supersede these people's rights to live.

Support unions, support the strikes.

The actors' strike will have an IMMEDIATE effect.

Followed by immediate counter-measures - bringing out content that was pre-recorded, content they'd decided not to run this year, content they'd shelved as not likely to bring in enough money, and so on.

Followed by panic. And a lot of mudslinging. And a lot of declaring "Actors make SOOOOOO MUCH MONEY!!!!" along with statements of six actors who had multi-million dollar contracts on recent movies.

They will not be talking about the actor who played Willrow Hood - "random dude who runs across the screen for four seconds and maybe you see his panicked expression; blink and you missed him." His character got a name 17 years after the release of TESB; we don't know who the actor is.

They won't be talking about how much he gets paid (minimum union scale, whatever that is), or the residuals he gets (none), or whether he's even guaranteed the job if he becomes a fan favorite and they decide to make a movie based on his character (he is not).

And they will claim that OF COURSE we won't be making AI doubles of Robert Downey Jr or Meryl Streep; those actors are ICONIC and you, our fine public, are far too discerning to fall for that! ...They will not tell you that they could make an AI of Willrow Hood and they would much much rather do that than try to figure out which of the "we hired 30 extras for the crowd scene" people he was.

The union fights are not about getting super-stars more money. The super-stars can negotiate for plenty on their own - they can demand high paychecks, time to rest between scenes, a trailer so they don't have to commute two hours before starting, health insurance, and so on. The union struggles are for the thousands of actors who aren't listed on the movie poster, who aren't in the opening credits on the tv show.
