A Wild Haunter

always really disliked that bit and I think that dislike led to me being reluctant to dismember my own protagonists, which I need to get over

would anything have been significantly different if Roland hadn't gotten his fingers lobstered off at the beginning of The Drawing of the Three

a) same hat 🤝

b) I didn't know about this video and I I'm being Normal about it

several items arranged on a table. front row: two plastic zip bags, the left one full of various flavors of Kitkats, the right full of bags of roasted green tea. back row, l-r: a cloth square with an autumn leaves design, a small Espeon plush with a Haunter sticker propped up against it, and a postcard printed with Hiroshige's "Asakusa Ricefields and Torinomachi Festival" from his "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series, depicting a white cat staring out at the Japanese countryside with Mount Fuji in the background

I am extremely stressed in several different ways but at least I got a package of stuff my friend picked up for me during her trip to Japan

It’s only 30% now but it is on sale!

one of the most infuriating things about the world built around us is that the stupidest and most mediocre people on the planet get to be taken more seriously than anyone who actually knows anything

realizing that a not insignificant portion of my artistic life has been about applying meaning to abstraction and chaos. hmm. don't worry about it 👍

you math people have to stop whatever you're doing with those numbers. I don't know what the fuck any of you are talking about but I know it's perverse and obscene

getting real tired of being called a "doomer" for recognizing established, entrenched patterns

it's what he does

Permeated by anguished visions of humanity, Francis Bacon’s paintings embody the existential ethos of the postwar era. In his powerful, nihilistic works, tormented and deformed figures become players in dark, unresolved dramas. Bacon often referred in his paintings to the history of art, interpreting borrowed images through his own bleak mentality. Figure with Meat is part of a now-famous series he devoted to Diego Velázquez’s Portrait of Pope Innocent X (c. 1650; Galleria Doria-Pamphilj, Rome). Here he transformed the Spanish Baroque artist’s iconic portrayal of papal authority into a nightmarish image, in which the blurred figure of the pope, seen as if through a veil, seems trapped in a glass-box torture chamber, his mouth open in a silent scream. Instead of the noble drapery that frames Velázquez’s pope, Bacon is flanked by two sides of beef, quoting the work of seventeenth-century Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn and twentieth-century Russian artist Chaim Soutine, both of whom painted brutal and haunting images of raw meat. Framed by the carcass, Bacon’s pope can be seen alternately as a depraved butcher, or as much a victim as the slaughtered animal hanging behind him. Harriott A. Fox Fund

have to say it: tumblr's "low contrast classic" color scheme should be universal. least eye-straining color scheme out there imo

just objectively one of the worst days I've had in months. everything is wrong.

"hide post for me" is the apex of social media functionality. begone demon

We need just $200 more to be able to get all our pre-surgery bills paid, then it's just the surgery itself we need to fund.

Trans Professors comment Mel Curth (She/They) November 16, 2025 at 2:04 PM Please note that I am not deducting points because you have certain beliefs, but instead I am deducting point for you posting a reaction paper that does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive. While you are entitled to your own personal beliefs, there is an appropriate time or place to implement them in your reflections. I encourage all students to question or challenge the course material with other empirical findings or testable hypotheses, but using your own personal beliefs to argue against the findings of not only this article, but the findings of countless articles across psychology, biology, sociology, etc. is not best practice. You argue that abiding by normative gender roles is beneficial (it is perfectly fine to believe this. but to then say that evervone should act TPUSA OU

Trans Professors comment the same, while also saying that people aren't pressured into gendered expectations is contradictory, especially since your arguments reflect a religious pressure to act in gender-stereotypical ways. You can say that strict gender norms don't create gender stereotypes, but that isn't true by definition of what a stereotype is. Please note that acknowledging gender stereotypes does not immediately denote a negative connotation, a nuance this article discusses. Additionally, to call an entire group of people "demonic" is highly offensive, especially a minoritized population. You are entitled to your own beliefs, but this isn't a vague narrative of "society pushes lies," but instead the result of countless years developing psychological and scientific evidence for these claims and directly interacting with the communities involved. You may personally disagree with this, but that TPUSA OU 2

Trans Professors comment doesn't change the fact that every major psychological, medical, pediatric, and psychiatric association in the United States acknowledges that, biologically and psychologically, sex and gender is neither binary nor fixed. I implore you apply some more perspective and empathy in your work. If you personally disagree with the findings, then by all means share your criticisms, but make sure to do so in a way that is appropriate and using the methodology of empirical psychology, as aligned with the learning goals in this class. If you have any additional questions or concerns about this or would like some additional educational resources, I would be happy to discuss this further and provide you with them. 3 TPUSA OU

Additional professor Megan Waldron (She/Her/Hers) November 16, 2025 at 3:09 PM Samantha, I am the other instructor for this course, and I have also taken the time to read your paper. I concur with Mel on the grade you received. This paper should not be considered as a completion of the assignment. Everyone has different ways in which they see the world, but in an academic course such as this you are being asked to support your ideas with empirical evidence and higher-level reasoning. I find it concerning that you state at the beginning of your paper that you do not think bullying ("teasing") is a bad thing. In addition, your paper directly and harshly criticizes your peers and their opinions, which are just as valuable as yours. Disagreeing with others is fine, but there is a respectful way to go about it. That goes for discussion posts as well as reaction papers. Please employ more thoughtfulness in your future assignments TPUSA OU

idk not to mention how very nuanced and normal the actual response here was

not to say I didn't churn out a lot of trash myself (my essay on color symbolism in mythology would probably be best forgotten even if I hadn't lost it in the drive wipe) but I at least tried to write that trash well and thoroughly cite my batshit rambling

I saw something of this caliber writing-wise in draft swaps like at least once a semester while I was still in school lol. the stilted tone of an incurious dumbass trying to sound smart (complete with no citations!)

you can crush up a fruit/grain bar in your oatmeal. they don't want you to know this but they haven't been able to get laws against it through the courts

Good morning, thanks for the donations while I was sleeping. Shares are always appreciated, too!

anything that tries to mark artists as a class of Mystic Others and cultivate mystique around us is self-fellating bullshit and I won't take part in it.

I have no patience for the mystification of art, I really fucking don't.

I give you daily joy; I drive away the evil in your heart. (OGC)

I think no because it specifically targets the structure of the human brain. be funny if it did though

now I'm wondering if a basilisk would break a copier

I want a full-color basilisk on my desk (SEALED) by yesterday dammit. I have hate mail to send
