A couple times fascist accounts on here have compared Hitler's work to Schiele's and both times it took me a moment to realize they were trying to imply Schiele's artwork was not good enough for an art school lmao just couldn't believe the reaction

I think, in 1914 or so, some other artists must have seen Schiele's work for the first time and actually fallen over. Just stunned on the ground. It boggles. It's art that attacks

Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle was the original example of trying to explain something to an American by telling them to imagine a burger. In his own words, it didn’t work because they were too focused on the burgers

this is your yearly reminder that Mark C. Lee brought a picture of a cow aboard STS-30 to remind him of home (he grew up on a farm in Wisconsin), resulting in this gem of a photo

Thinking about things like "notary public," "body politic," phrases where English puts the modifier after the noun like a Romance language. There must be some other examples

October 2019. Homecoming. We would do drugs in the handicap stall. I was anorexic and my on again off again boyfriend used to legitimately hold me captive against my will sometimes. I sold pesticide dab pens. I was young wild and sorta free
