OMG OMG OMG
So, really funny story
It's Good Friday today, so we had a church service (naturally), and I sing in the choir for the church. We were singing Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus.
The thing is, it's also storming outside, has been all day. And there was a rumble of thunder in the middle of the piece
IT WAS ON KEY!!
The thunder was roughly a D1, while we were singing it in the key of D. So the thunder was on key
trans person: im trans
society: ok

I want you to remember:
The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.
Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.
Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.
Reminder: you can't be the whole wall against stopping fascism by yourself. Nobody can. But you damn sure can be a brick.
There's a lot of good comments and tags in the notes, but this one is very important, I feel like it deserves some emphasis.
Part of how authoritarianism works is telling you that you can't stop it. And you can't stop it by yourself. But it wants to stop the train of thought there and let you fall into despair.
You need to remember the next part: you don't have to stop it by yourself.
You're not alone. Take care of your community and let your community take care of you. Supporting each other is so vital.

Can we stop all normalising the use of "sc*rvy" as a fun little thing to call people?? I literally had sc*rvy last year and it was even worse than when I got my hand cut off. Fuck anyone who uses the S word without even considering how triggering it can be to those of us who have ACTUALLY suffered though it

wildest argument for piracy i've ever heard was that the gold stored on government ships is dangerous cause it weighs them down, so they're just 'lightening the load'

So, I saw this image on Facebook, and it was supposedly showing what Queen Nefertiti would have looked like in real life:
Now, I thought this AI generated garbage was just truly terrible on a number of levels; first off, she looks wayyyyyy too modern - her makeup is very “Hollywood glamour”, she looks airbrushed and de-aged, and as far as I’m aware, Ancient Egyptians didn’t have mascara, glitter-based eyeshadows and lip gloss. Secondly, her features are exceptionally whitewashed in every sense - this is pretty standard for AI as racial bias is prevalent in feeding AI algorithms, but I genuinely thought a depiction of such a known individual would not exhibit such euro-centric features. Thirdly, the outfit was massively desaturated and didn’t take pigment loss into consideration, and while I *do* like the look of the neck attire, it's not at all accurate (plus, again, AI confusion on the detailing is evident).
So, this inspired me to alter the image on the left to be more accurate based off the sculpture’s features. I looked into Ancient Egyptian makeup and looked at references for kohl eyeliner and clay-based facial pigment (rouge was used on cheeks, charcoal-based powder/paste was used to darken and elongate eyebrows), and I looked at pre-existing images of Nefertiti, both her mummy and other reconstructions. While doing this, I found photos of a 3D scanned sculpture made by scientists at the University of Bristol and chose to collage the neck jewellery over the painting (and edited the lighting and shadows as best as I could).
Something I see a lot of in facial recreations of mummies is maintaining the elongated and skinny facial features as seen on preserved bodies - however, fat, muscle and cartilage shrink/disappear post mortem, regardless of preservation quality; Queen Nefertiti had art created of her in life, and these pieces are invaluable to developing an accurate portrayal of her, whether stylistic or realistic in nature.
And hey, while I don't think my adjustments are perfect (especially the neck area), I *do* believe it is a huge improvement to the original image I chose to work on top of.
I really liked working on this project for the last few days, and I think I may continue to work on it further to perfect it. But, until then, I hope you enjoy!
Remember, likes don't help artists but reblogs do!
The thing i think that i like the most about the corrected image is around the mouth. The statute's mouth has ... a lived-in look. You can see the beginnings of age asserting themselves there, a thing that AI, of course, did away with entirely.
But the corrected mouth has smiled and laughed and cried and screamed, and it shows.
if it counts for anything, I thing the corrected version is much more attractive as well
4chan got hacked so I guess tumblr won the war - didn't foresee that tbh
Reblog if you respect trans men more than billionaires
When the mutual you really enjoy seeing in ur notes shows up in ur notes
$10 budget Raiders of the Lost Ark
I looked for the original tweet and found more
thinking about the people who vanished without a trace. The mutual who reblogged something as usual and never came back online. The friend on discord who just disappeared, and when you go to check on them their account is deleted and theres no other way to contact them
I look out of my window and hope you are okay, I wish you well and Im sorry I didn't get to say goodbye.
I hope we meet again someday but until then. Stay safe. Stay alive. Be well.
So uh, my brother flipped through my records and said I listen to a lot of underground shit, the records he was talking about were ELO, Styx, and David Bowie??
???????
How the hell are The Electric Light Orchestra, Styx, and David FUCKING Bowie underground????????
He's right and he should say it! They do not care about being hypocritical of they get to do what they want. They just don't. At all.
And let's not forget the role the MSM played in "but her emails" to ratfuck her.
Will they stay on top of this story? Or will they forget about it in two days when the Trump admin produces yet another scandal?
The corporate controlled media have done their best to let Trump get away with all of his scandals in the past and this time around is no different.
Griffin McElroy I don’t know if you’re in Vancouver right now but if you’re not then I just watched your doppelgänger get stuck in an automatic door
For the record this is the order things went down
