holy sh*t

what. WHAT

Kapoor: *Being a jerk and not sharing*

Semple: “So I just got a degree in nanotechnology specifically for this and anyway everyone have some paint”

Semple: a God amongst Men

Ok NOW things are getting interesting.

I am guessing Semple has created a new black PIGMENT that is close to the effect of super black. Vantablack is not pigment, and cannot be used in paint. This actually changes the game.

Kapoor may have the rights to the real blackest black, but Semple may have made a super black artists can actually use.

i can’t believe a meme is going down in art history

 #Why is art like this? #Because art is the way each generation of humanity distills itself to an essence for the future to behold #And our essence is a combination of exceptional and perhaps unbelievable technical skill #And just #Just absolute nuclear fires powered by spite #And I am so glad to be participating in this #Because this is I think #The first time I’ve ever actually understood art #So thank you to Anish Kapoor for being spiteful #And thank you to Stuart Semple for being brilliant in a fuck you kind of way #And thank you to everyone involved in this fiasco #Because I have never felt a more complete understanding of the necessity of art in my life #And I’m so fucking glad

Meet Betsy DeVos, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Education. She funds an institute that wants to bring back child labor and get rid of public education.

Betsy DeVos is from my area (West Michigan) and let me tell you: she comes from not one, but two of the most corrupt, entitled, extreme conservative families in the area.

Something else, that I feel like people really should be aware of is that our state government (led, of course, by Rick Snyder of the ongoing Flint Water Crisis) just stated that literacy is not a right.

Yeah.  Literacy is not a right.

What happened is that some students in Detroit tried to sue the state because they have been denied access to literacy (through disinvestment and indifference to Detroit’s public schools).  And the official response is that state legislation only requires that there be a system of free public schools.  So yeah, there are schools.  Schools without money or resources.  But they’re there, and literacy is not a right (apparently).

Meanwhile, Betsy DeVos is a huge supporter of charter schools.  Which means that she’s strongly anti-public school.  She never went to public school, nor did any of her children.

Also: the DeVos family contributed over $9 million to the Tr*mp campaign.

How is this the real world

How are we living in a world where wretched worthless gutter trash like this vile piece of TRASH are allowed to hold ANY form of position in government

She literally thinks child slave labour is an amazing idea

That’s not a thing a normal person thinks, that’s the viewpoint of a villain in a movie where the hero is a dog

“THAT’S THE VIEWPOINT OF A VILLAIN IN A MOVIE WHERE THE HERO IS A DOG”

This is a phrase I’m going to come back to a lot in 2017.

This is your occasional reminder that my grandfather was a ‘picker’ in a coal mine and joined the Navy in order to get our family out of the mines. My great-grandfather was a coal miner and a farmer.

This isn’t a life anyone should want for their family, and it’s infuriating to hear this. It makes me want to scream in her face. My grandfather’s heart gave out far too early due to the things he had to do at too young an age. (That’s not my opinion, that’s the opinion of his doctors.)

So.
Yeah.

I just want one of those soulmate AUs but with an aromantic character who knows they won’t get the tattoo with their soulmate’s name or the countdown watch or whatever it is people in that world get when they become adults. But when they do hit adulthood, it does happen, and they’re confused and not sure how this is possible. And then they find their soulmate and have a beautiful platonic relationship against all expectations.
