That's amazing and beautiful, and I can't imagine doing it with a quill in an inadequately heated monastery scriptorium on an Atlantic island in November.
But it was done that way regardless.
Here's the Lindisfarne Gospels.
Here's the Book of Kells.
wow
I lost it at the fucking chess pieces
Above image is a pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.
Hair model who???
I swear Star Wars robbed us of giving quin some more interesting hairstyles. I’ve always found dreads to be some of the most beautiful and versatile hairstyles out there, so I hope I did them some justice here 💛
Quinlan I think would have def braided aaylas silka beads into his hair before he took her on as a Padawan, ya know just for safekeeping 🩵
Also just lemme know if you guys want more info on wth I mean by “married vos” and his tattoos cuz I have some THOUGHTS (inspired by fic Resilience on ao3, though the account is unfortunately orphaned)
i wanna try an experiment
reblog for sample size pls thx
A Yord moment
this looks like the opposite of fun to me, to each their own tho
would much like to point out that the people publishing these articles are trying to needle millennials into treating gen z with the same disgusting vitriol we were treated with.
don’t buy it.
our younger brothers and sisters might eat a tide pod and get us blamed for it, but we have more in common with them than we ever had with boomers or gen x.
they are terrified of the things we can do together. remember that.
Generational politics are a trap designed to distract from class inequality
Fun fact, if you look up the authors of a lot of those generational warfare books, like, say... a Generation of Sociopaths: How the Baby Boomers Betrayed America? Guess what? It's written by Bruce Cannon Gibney, a freaking venture capitalist. The Theft of a Decade: How the Baby Boomers Stole Millennials' Economic Future? Written by an editorial board member of The Wall Street Journal, capitalism's second most prominent cheerleader, only behind (arguably) the Economist. This isn't to say that ALL of these books have authors like this, but it's pretty damn common. (Many of the rest just jumped on the bandwagon for sales.)
Generational warfare, like racism, sexism, transphobia, etc, is strongly driven by the capitalist/rentier classes as active class warfare! It's divide and conquer of the working class!
Yes, us Millennials and our Gen Z younger siblings have it fucking rough. But, uh... Honestly, so do our parents? The majority of Baby Boomers in America, for instance, do NOT have the financial resources to retire! It's not a particular generation being screwed over, it's the whole working class!
I'll gladly pay 25¢ more for a double cheeseburger if it means the workers get paid a decent wage.
Also, price increases happen all the time even when wages do not increase.
The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.
I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.
I fucking love him
i can imagine this guy’s voice very clearly in my head but i couldn’t put a name to it
He also jabs racists in the eye!
I love the justice grandpa of fists
I’m very lucky to own a book that’s a collection of most of these comics (sadly not all of them) and would highly recommend hunting these down if you can. Sorry for the lack of a scanner but phone photos will just have to do.
He was a enjoyable cuss who didn’t care for war mongering.
Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!
He certainly didn’t like selfish husbands and fathers!
Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs weren’t safe.
He said fuck the police!
He absolutely didn’t like people ruining little things for kids.
He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.
He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.
You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. He’d right that wrong real quick!
And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.
I have a new role model
It’s nice to see a fat dude in a political cartoon that’s NOT being used as shorthand for greed and corruption.
Hes like the personification of motherfucker unlimited
Reblogging this newer version of this thread with so many more strips I haven’t seen…why did this character ever disappear. Where did you go, Everett.
we need him more than ever…
Grandpa Fuck Around & Find Out. Love him.
Y'know, I’m pretty sure doing modern Everett True strips could be done under protection from US parody laws, as long as you weren’t selling them.

okay tumblr’s exclusion from the twitter social media ban list is hilarious but genuinely we do not belong on there. if a real human person asks “where can i find you on social media” and your choice is a swift death or revealing your tumblr, most of us would simply expire. half of y’all change urls every week like you’re in witness protection. just imagine for one second attaching your wholeass government name to your latest two am clownposting and tell me that didn’t send a cold chill down your spine. the only place i ever want to see the words “connect with me on tumblr!” is on the ao3 profile of an author i’m actively stalking. anyone in the world can follow me except anyone i personally know. antisocial media.
fully obsessed with the people in the notes who are like “i don’t know what y’all are worried about 🙄 i simply curate an entire dummy tumblr account connected to a different email address where i reblog a regular stream of cute animals and aesthetic pictures of old buildings and then give that url out instead” like they’re maintaining a deep cover identity for a cold war spy. completely normal behavior.
a funny thing about this being one of my more popular posts is that in all truth i DO tell people out loud that i'm on tumblr, and the myth that this site is dead is so pervasive that it absolutely does not matter. i can say “i have a tumblr” present tense, or “i am going home after work tonight to spend a ridiculous amount of time on tumblr,” or even “here is a direct link to a post on my personal tumblr blog, that i made just now today about a currently happening event,” and they’re like “wow i remember hearing about tumblr. how many years ago is this from?” it quite simply will not sink in. great news for the “i do not wish to be perceived” crowd we are actually comically impervious to it.
I've seen this before, but it's been years and it just came across my Twitter in its dying days. The words are from a favorite author of mine, Maggie Stiefvater, and they are the words I most need to hear when it comes to dealing with chronic pain and illness. I didn't need this the first time I saw it, six years ago. I need it now. Maybe you do, too.
It's happening again, guys. More fics are 'disappearing' because someone changes a collection to private.
All the fics in that collection also change to 'unrevealed' and no one can find them or read them anymore. Only the owner of the collection can.
This is what you will see if the fic is part of a private/unrevealed collection⬇️
Only the author can remove their fic from an unrevealed collection. Ao3 sends you an email warning you that a collection your fic is part of has changed the status to unrevealed.
(This is the email you receive⬇️)
The BIG problem here is that if the author is no longer active on Ao3 and don't check the mails, the fic will be lost forever!
Please make sure you have this option unchecked in your preferences if you don't want your works added to collections without your consent⬇️
Be careful with allowing people to add your fics to collections, guys. I have deleted all the collections from my fics and I won't allow any collection requests anymore.
SHARE THIS to make more people aware of this problem!
