the thing is, i fully support tumblr opening up a merch store because if they don't make money somehow, they go under and that's that. but i wish they would have went with designs that are more in touch with tumblr today, and not, like, tumblr in 2014. we don't want patches with little pizzas on them we want Men's Tits
Mine’s probably the Lilith statue that’s at the Met (here’s a picture I took of her last year), made by Kiki Smith!!!
That's a great one - a really effective piece!
My favourite piece of art is, uh...
So, it's...
The thing is...
Urgh. It's this fucking horse by Stubbs.
Because... just look at it. It SO HORSE. There's nothing else there. Motherfucker didn't even do a background, just ctrl+backspaced a greeny-brown. It's all horse. I'm not even a particular fan of horses as an animal, but I enjoy this stupid horse painting more than I have ever enjoyed looking at an actual horse.
Ok, so it's actually kind of underwhelming out of context. What you have to remember is that this is in the National Gallery in London and this painting is HUGE. It's like three metres tall and completely dominates the room. It's hard to convey the sheer volume of horse that confronts you when viewing this painting in person.
And the thing is, the structure of the National Gallery and the picture's positioning means that you get glimpses of the through doorways all through your visit, before finally reaching it and being confronted by this massive goddamn horse.
I kind of hate that this is my favourite piece of art. I mean, it's just a horse. But I realised that every time I went to the National Gallery I was really excited to go see the the horse in a way I wasn't to see any other artwork. Plus I usually go with Sasha, and he pointed out I always talked about going to see the horse in a way that I clearly thought was a joke but definitely wasn't.
So yeah, despite my best efforts my favourite art piece is this stupid enormous horse.
"Nudie Suits" is a name referring to the colorful, heavily-decorated suits made by American designer Nudie Cohn (1902-1984), most famously worn by country music stars of the 20th Century.
Pictured: Robert Redford, Elton John, Mike Nesmith, Dolly Parton and Ernie Ashworth in original Nudie Suits, and Karen O of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs in a Nudie-inspired suit. Photos from @nudiesuits
I know this isn’t a revolutionary take or anything but it’s sad and honestly horrifying how social media has turned activism into a competition of who is the most morally pure person rather than it being about creating genuine, positive change for society as a whole
Edit: the rad phlegms have somehow found this post and I just wanna say it now: this blog is strictly anti-r*dfem and pro-trans. Block me and fuck off if you don’t like that. I’m not going to waste my time arguing with dumbasses. Having a victim complex isn’t the same as being a victim, y’all are the exact type of person I’m criticizing in this post.
I rewatched Spirit for the first time as an adult and holy shit I remember loving this movie bc I was a weird horse girl but goddamn that movie is actually so good??? The soundtrack is FIRE. Hans Zimmer really said take no prisoners.

Have been wondering what Ed was getting while Stede was being walked into the jungle by Chauncey, because he had already gotten the dinghy and later arrived at the dock carrying a sack. Obviously supplies makes sense, but I just realised it was also their clothes/personal effects that Ed went back for, and it made me sad.
He went back for his cravat, and his red handkerchief, and his leather jacket, and his knee brace, and all of Stede’s clothes that he knew would be missed terribly if they left them behind.
