American Poetry - Images from my first photo book, documenting roadside signage as works of art. Taken over 5 years around the United States this series is a study on Americana, media culture, and propaganda.
Stripped of contextual nature most signs now appear as abstract poetry. Be it advertisement, warning, or call to prayer - these statements and proclamations are poignant examples of the modern American experience.
A small number of signed special editions are still available here-
who wants a list of some of my best videos about video game economic crisis events theyre kind of my favorite subject of all time
habbo hotel is an anarcho-capitalist gambling and a scam-based economy run by children part 1
gaia online’s gold-generating hyperinflation crisis
the hypixel skyblock exotics 1 trillion coin bubble pop
the ‘cash-based’ mmo where the f2p players literally sell sweat harvested off monsters for pennies
a history of neopets controversies centering largely on the “unconverted” neopet bubble market
“the falador massacre”, an infamous runescape event in which a player was able to pvp kill in non-pvp areas, resulting in thousands of player items and gold being looted from corpses with no possibility of rollback
oh hell yes

I hate this
What. The. FUCK.
The fact he rewards the viewer who watched the 3rd loop by stopping the man this time!! King of Editing.
That bit isn’t editing - the original loop has all three times. You can tell because the leftover paint he doesn’t quite fix has a slightly different pattern both times.
…that is some Looney Tunes shit right there.
Y'all wanna see how this is done, as well as other videos by Zach King?

I don’t think I believe in the Human Soul but I do feel that if I did not obey the weird and benign little impulses that compel me then I would stop being whatever it is I am, and that frightens me
like if some greater force came along and forced me to stop talking to birds and standing barefoot in the rain and singing nonsense songs, cooking fish sticks at four in the morning and laying on the floor and making goofy faces in the mirror, finger-painting and standing on the coffee table and floating face-down in the river,then that wouldn’t be me anymore, it would just be a thing with my face
So this panel of Calvin and Hobbes
Precisely!

the taking of deborah logan: a documentary team follows a woman suffering from dementia but not all is as it appears (warning: there’s a small part of this story that’s like… weirdly racist towards Native Americans for no reason)

**d0nation post incoming**
hi everyone! so this is oliver 🐰
you can see his teeth in this pic, and that’s because he has severe malocclusion of his incisors, meaning they grow in the wrong direction and don’t wear themselves down the way they’re meant to (see below)
if this gets too severe, he can’t eat or groom himself properly, so we have them trimmed by the vet every 2 weeks or so. however, we can get a permanent surgery done so that he no longer has to deal with this, and he can spend the rest of his life much more comfortably.
this surgery will cost $1200, which my husband and I just don’t have, especially since we’re currently working on switching jobs, moving, all that. oliver’s gums have started receding, so his teeth are growing back faster and faster. we want to get this procedure done sooner than later because of this.
I am an artist- I do digital art, painting, illustration, graphic design, and some jewelry making. commissions of basically anything are available and i’m open to almost anything- dm me to talk about options, pricing, etc.
if you want to make a donation directly, options are below. if you aren’t able to donate or purchase any artwork, that’s totally okay! we’re all just making it here. please do share/reblog if you can though, and if you’re worried about the legitimacy of this post, feel free to dm me, cause I know scams are a concern.
thank you!!!! ❤️🐰❤️🐰❤️🐰

before i had gotten close with ex-catholics i was under the assumption that “catholic guilt” was mostly about sex, or serious topics.
but i was naïve. it’s apparently about every positive experience. enjoying a meal? you’re so lucky, children are starving. spending your day off cosy in bed? wow, so selfish, homeless people are freezing to death.
every former or present catholic i’ve met has a very obvious anxiety disorder and it’s so painfully not a coincidence.
How disrespectful would it be to be blessed with such a wonderful home and force myself not to enjoy it when so many people only dream of being so lucky? Why even help anyone have a better life if they aren’t allowed to feel good about it when they get there? I’d rather starve alone than starve at a dinner table

Joan Didion, “On Keeping a Notebook”
[id: “Why did I write it down? In order to remember, of course, but exactly what was it I wanted to remember? How much of it actually happened? Any of it? Why do I keep a notebook at all? It is easy to deceive oneself on all those scores. The impulse to write things down is a peculiarly compulsive one, inexplicable to those who do not share it, useful if accidentally, only secondarily, in the way that compulsion tries to justify itself. I suppose that it begins or does not begin in the cradle. Although I have felt compelled to write things down since I was five years old, I doubt my daughter ever will, for she is a singularly blessed and accepting child, delighted with life exactly as life presents itself to her, unafraid to wake up. Keepers of private notebooks are a different breed altogether, lonely and resistant rearranger of things, anxious malcontents, children afflicted apparently at birth with some presentment of loss.”]

Random socializing tip: Tell people when they’ve had a positive impact on your life!
e.g.: “Hey, remember when I asked you for advice on X? That was really helpful, I tried it and now (insert what has improved)”
“You kept gushing about (insert series/book/movie/recipe) and made it sound really appealing, so I checked it out and I really liked it!”
“Thank you for letting me vent recently, telling you what bothered me really helped me to work through it / helped me see it from another perspective / gave me the courage to address it with the person I was talking about.”
It helps people see their own strong points, it deepens your relationships, it makes the people in your life feel appreciated and special and it can give you warm fuzzy feelings!
Win/win all around!

Obsessed by this statue I saw today in Le Havre (France) from the Italian sculptor Fabio Viale. The design isn’t painted on… The ink is injected inside the marble like a real tattoo. And if I remember correctly what the guide said, it took the artist three weeks to do just that.
How stunning is this
So I looked this guy up because I wanted to know if he was contemporary or not because I’d heard that no one was really able to work marble in the ways of the ‘old masters’, but this guy is incredible! He’s only 47, and beyond these incredible pigment tattoo sculptures, he’s done some wack stuff with marble!
ALTYes this is marble.
ALTYes these are marble.
ALTHey did you guess, this is marble.
ALTThis is just a giant dong (made from marble). Titled, 'souvenir David’. 😁
