The exhibition Defining beauty: the body in ancient Greek art features many different body types, and some that you might not expect in a show packed with classical sculpture…
To the ancient Greeks, the peoples of sub-Saharan Africa were known collectively as Ethiopians, literally ‘those...
To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.
Not-so-friendly reminder that if you reblog art or fiction onto my dash that sexualises children, romanticises peadophilia or celebrates statutory rape (or indeed any kind of sexual assault), I will unfollow and block you. This feels so obvious that I shouldn’t have to say it, but apparently it isn’t a given to everyone on this hellsite.
Okay, so since this pissed so many asshole anons off the first time around, let me reblog it again and make something abundantly clear: I am not asking for much. I am not asking that you alter the content of your blog to suit my liking. I am not asking you to pander to a preference of mine.
I am asking you not to support the promotion and normalization of pedophilia.
I am not even necessarily asking on behalf of myself, I am asking on behalf of everyone who follows you and everyone who uses this site. Child abuse and the normalisation of adult/child sexual contact is obscene. It is not acceptable and to argue that fantasizing about it isn’t dangerous (”because you’d never act on it” to quote one anon in my inbox), is redundant, provably untrue and frankly a little frightening.
I didn’t know this kind of content was commonplace, but I got a very fucking rude awakening this afternoon after someone reblogged a piece of art that depicted Harry as a child young enough to have a pacifier in his mouth in a sexual situation. This blog tagged their reblog with something to the effect of ‘I still support you [artist name here]’. I was sickened and appalled. If this doesn’t sicken and appall you, I think you need to take a step back and understand the kind of content that you’re consuming and the implications it has in the real world.
Someone (and I’m really sorry but I’ve since forgotten who, it could have been @newmanagement or @claudiyah) linked to a post which clearly states that to depict children in sexual situations in art work is now illegal in the United States. As well it should be. And this should tell you all you need to know about the situation at hand.
If you come into my inbox defending people who create and then promote this kind of content (as many people have in the three hours I’ve been out at dinner), I will block you without hesitation. If you reblog content like this onto my dash, I will unfollow and block you without hesitation. If you think content like this is acceptable you are not the kind of person I want to engage with on the internet. You would not be the kind of person I would want to interact with in any circumstance or situation. Get yourself away from me.
Hi everyone! One of the hardest things to do is active studying before exams! While many of us study hard, we may not be considering that we are not studying actively! Passive studying is things such as only reading previously highlighted material and continuously reciting the same information over and over. To actively study, first break your study time down into two different categories: Preparation and Review!
The key to Preparation is ICOW! Identify, Condense, Organize, and Write. These strategies will help you do it:
Next you want to actually Review the information you gathered through your prep. The key to review is RE-USE: Rehearse, Extend, Understand, Self-Test, and Evaluate. Here are some strategies:
Note: Many of these tasks are from the book Taking Charge of Your Learning by Dianna Blerkom
And now an explosion 20min from me. Je suis sick of this shit. Sick of seeing another city being a trending topic on Twitter.
