I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3

this site is amazing.

I was a pretty weird outcasted child so one of the greatest wonders of my adult life has been realizing that you can just go someplace and meet some people and casually make some friends, and they might not be in your life forever but you can hang out for a while, and then you can go somewhere else and do it again, and again, if it doesn’t work out no biggie, etc.

Also there’s no point in your life where the window on making friends just closes. You’re never going to hit an age where that’s that, you’re done making friends, you’ll never make another one again. Seems pretty academic but honestly I think it would have saved younger-me (and particularly university-aged me) a lot of stress and worry if someone had just sat me down and told me this.

Classical Pieces You've Probably Heard but Might Not Remember the Name

Add others if you want! Have fun!

  • Dies Irae (from Requiem) - Verdi Scary scenes in cartoons, especially involving storms, holes, or treacherous waterfalls.
  • Flight of the Bumblebee - Rimsky-Korsakov Oh come on, everyone knows this one! It sounds too much like the title for you to forget what it’s called! Also: Drumline.
  • Finale to the 1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky Naval battle! Cannon! Fireworks! 4th of July in ‘Murica! Even though it’s about that *other* war going on in 1812!
  • Der Holle Rache kocht in meiner herzen (aka the Queen of the Night aria) - Mozart The one that fancy ladies in movies use to try and break champagne glasses.
  • Libiamo ne’ lieti calici - Verdi ?
  • Largo al factotum - Rossini Does your cartoon need a classical tune for your rotund Italian chef to sing while tossing pizza dough? Have we got a song for you!
  • Overture to The Barber of Seville - Rossini Fast-paced, sneaky-things-are-afoot movie song.
  • The Blue Danube Waltz - Strauss Da-da-da dum dum. *plink plink* *plink plink*. As heard in Jack’s entry to First Class in “Titanic,” and a million other places. (Veggie Tales “Stuff Mart,” anyone?)
  • Moonlight Sonata (mvmt. 1) - Beethoven The ultimate pretty-and-sad piano and/or ballet scene song.
  • Symphony No. 5 - Beethoven dun dun dun DUUUUUN.

I’m sure there are more but these were some of the first that came to mind as missing!

I think this one’s missing, one of my favourites:

Danse Macabre - Camille Saint-Saëns

This is one of the best classical music master-posts I’ve ever seen. I’m so proud of yall

Pavane for a Dead Princess- Maurice Ravel. Apparently it’s in Dark Knight Rises? I just think it’s pretty.

And

Tales from the Vienna Woods- Johann Strauss II. Contains the melody playing on Rose’s music box in Titanic just before Cal gives her the Heart of the Ocean.

Ode to Joy - Beethoven. The song that makes everyone emotional but especially Europeans.  Lacrimosa - Mozart. The one used in every horror movie/game ever. Big religious horror vibes  Swan Lake -  Tchaikovsky. That one “I’m a dramatic princess under a curse and I met my true love in the woods” one, it’s just very pretty and DRAMATIC ok, also even if you don’t know classics you probably know it from the Barbie movie. Casta Diva, Norma Act I - Bellini. Another one used in a lot of solemn scenes of fancy movies or horror no inbetween. Carmen: Habanera - Bizet. The one in every dance scene between rival spies or something you know the one.

2021 be like: I’m thriving. I’m miserable. I am revisiting old hobbies. None of my hobbies are fun. I’m walking a lot. I have a vitamin D deficiency. The pandemic has lasted one month. The pandemic is over. The pandemic has lasted for 10 years. I am completely isolated. I talk to my friends constantly. I love working from home. Fourteen months have vanished from existence. I have a repetitive stress injury from working from home. I’m sick to death of working from home. Everyone is getting vaccinated. There’s three new variants that no-one is vaccinated from. Stay indoors. Start going out. Outdoor dining. Restart the economy. Don’t touch. Isn’t it great that we’re finally going back to normal?

leslie cheung 1988《纯影集》

leslie is one of the first openly bisexual celebrities in asia, an absolute icon

From Wikipedia: In an interview in 1992, Cheung stated that “My mind is bisexual. It’s easy for me to love a woman. It’s also easy for me to love a man, too” and “I believe that a good actor would be androgynous, and ever changing.“ 

He announced his same-sex relationship with his childhood friend Daffy Tong Hok-tak (唐鶴德) during a concert in 1997, earning him prestige in LGBT communities in China, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. His relationship with Daffy lasted for almost 20 years until his death in 2003.

In a 2001 interview with Time magazine, Cheung said: “It’s more appropriate to say I’m bisexual. I’ve had girlfriends. When I was 22 or so, I asked my girlfriend Teresa Mo to marry me.”

As someone on the ace/aro spectrum aces are 100% valid. Anyone who thinks otherwise can fuck off.

Another one is doctors and therapists telling you you need psychosexual therapy to “cure” your lack of sexual attraction.

If you have ever experienced this, no, you dont need curing.

yeah

I'm sitting here boggling at the idea of spending more than $30 on a purse, when i could put that money towards so many other things.

$300 is pricey for a bag, but I’ve spent more than that on video games, so it’s hard for me to be judgey about it. They’re good sized bags, with a simple design that you could wear with a ton of stuff and won’t go out of style quickly. If they’re really good quality, they could outlast a number of my cheapo bags, since I go through a few of those a year (when I left the house). You would definitely have to have the money up front, though. (Hello, Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness.) The designer is Liberian-American, though, so you’d be supporting a Black-owned business.

But I haven’t seen any mention of this brand before, memes or no, so why has this suddenly shown up on Tumblr? Especially since it’s pretty low priced compared to a lot of designer names. Let me google! 

Ah. AOC bought a somewhat pricey, but practical, designer name bag, supporting a Black immigrant both directly and by providing publicity for his business. Suddenly, a post appears on Tumblr encouraging socialist and communist-leaning people to hate people carrying this particular designer name bag. 

She’s up for reelection in two months.

This is what propaganda looks like.

Why it’s critical to study how social media impacts the movement of ideas
