And if youโre ace like me, well. She threw a tank with her bare hands, and thatโs as good as it gets
I really like this post.
You wake up one day with the ability to freeze time at will for as long as you want with no repercussions. Whatโs the first thing you do with your newfound powers?
take a nap
i would literally always freeze time to sleep that way i would never waste time sleeping again. also. ALSO. FUCK MATE. Not feeling like going to work? Freeze time and chill until you do. In a shitty situation that has you in danger? Freeze time and walk away to safety. its. so useful. I literally. dream about this ability.
Freeze time and walk across the room so it looks like you teleported to anyone else in that room
Donโt come at me about the Bible and homosexuality if youโre using it to justify your homophobia. I will demolish you.
Also, for some cultures including early Christianity, sodomite could very well have ment someone gravely inhospitable, as the sin of Sodom was inhospitality and not anal sex.
I wanted to talk about that too but I was running out of tweets I could put on a singular thread ๐ thank you so much for this addition!
Iโm reblogging this partially because itโs frickin awesome, and partially for future reference, cus yeah the evangelical community is really scary to be in as part of the LGBTQA community
Whoa this is one of the BEST things Iโve ever seen!! And I learned a lot from it which I can tell my LGBTQ+ friends so that they can also destroy someone with this knowledge! Thank you so much for making a stand!
This was some hella good stuff here. I knew there was corruption with Bible verses and such but wow this was supremely informative!
Iโve reblogged this before, but I always feel like someone might need to see this.

iโm so sorry if someone made you think itโs hard to love you
I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and saidย โlet me call my husband real quickโ and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `โYou know that was probably a scam, right?โ and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If youโreย โscammingโ me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money.ย
โA scamโ people are fucking wild.ย ย
This happened to me, too. A woman had used WIC for the majority of her stuff (which I say from personal experience is such a long and embarrassing process) and to buy the remainder of her groceries, which included diapers and wipes, she used a card, and it got declined. I bought the other $30 of her groceries because hey, Iโve been there, and now Iโm not. She was extremely emotional and began to cry and even hugged me. My mom called me on the drive home and could tell I had been crying myself, asked what was wrong, and when I told her what happened, she berated me for being โduped.โ I couldnโt believe she could be so disappointed in one of her children for doing something- nice? Is that the hill you want to die on? Getting mad about people needing groceries?
I once paid for a womanโs bill at the vetโฆit wasnโt a big one, but she was trying to pay for some medication for her dog, and her card was declined. And her lip started trembling, and she saysย โI donโt get paid until Tuesday, would he be ok until then?โย
So I just told them to add the $20 something onto my bill, and I thought she was going to break down crying right there.
And I donโt care if it was a scam or not. Just do nice things for people sometimes.ย
Do good recklessly.
I think โDo good recklesslyโ would be fantastic word art to hang on oneโs wall. Artistic people, go!
So this has happened to me but from the other side. Several years ago when my oldest was around three or so, I had my debit card decline at Walmart. It wasnโt a scam or a mistake, I was genuinely broke. Out of money. I checked my bank and discovered I had something like 7 dollars left to my name and a hungry kid and nothing to eat at home. So I sat there trying to come up with the best way to stretch that tiny amount of money to feed my kid. Not even to feed me. I can live on popcorn or something if I have to but my kid was three and he had to eat. So there I am trying really hard not to cry while I slowly take things out of my basket to get it down to under 7 bucks, when a lady tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up and she smiled at me and started putting the things back in my cart. I opened my mouth to tell her that I didnโt have the money for them but she stopped me right away and said โDonโt worry about it. Itโs gonna be fine.โ Then she handed the cashier her credit card and said โRing up all of it.โ My kid got to eat because of her. I got to eat because of her. I had laundry soap and deodorant because of her. She couldโve just ignored me silently struggling in that line. She couldโve decided I was a scam and gone home feeling good about avoiding being duped. But instead she chose to help me and she saved us. So maybe the person struggling in front of you is trying to put one over on you or maybe they are just sad and broke and trying to figure out what to do. You get to decide which you want to believe and what you want to do. But Iโll tell yโall, no one has ever been more beautiful to me than that lady in that line who saved me and my baby. Be like her. Be beautiful.
DO BETTER. BE BETTER. STRIVE TO BE BETTER.
DO GOOD RECKLESSLY
One time, my dad and I were living the grocery store and there was a guy outside asking for money to buy some stuff to take home for his kids. It was around Christmas time. My dad asked him if he could give him groceries instead of money, and the guy immediately said yes, so my dad gave him one of everything we bought (meat, rice, some chocolates, milk, oil). At that time, my dad hadnโt gotten his paycheck because the company he worked for was going through a tough time, but he didnโt care, he saw an opportunity to help someone and he did.
Another time, my dad gave 50 bucks to a guy who said he needed to buy medicine for his kids. I told my dad he was probably going to spend the money on alcohol or something, but my dad said that โwhether he was lying or not says something about HIS character, but hearing someone in need and choosing not to help when I have the means to says something about mineโ.
I never forget that.
Can we make Do good recklessly The slogan on 2019
Do Good Recklessly
you know what. considering that trans men are way more likely to experience hostility from health care workers when we get pregnantย (2), and manyย trans menย are sexually assaulted and need abortions, and trans men often do not receive adequate care for reproductive issues and cancer,ย and most of us will be outright refused care because we are transgender at some point in our livesย (2), if you believe that trans men who ask to be acknowledged in the current discussions about abortion/reproductive justice areย โmaking it all about menโ or monopolizing the conversation in any way, you need to rethink that.ย
trans men/transmasculine people are welcome to share your stories and experiences in the notes, everyone else please do not speak over us.ย
from now on iโm only referring to people by their last name so we can have an emotionally charged moment months later when i finally use their first nameย
if youโve ever wondered what itโs like to live in the midwest, this is it.ย
You missed some of the best ones
the best part about it is that the art installation isnโt actually called the Bean. Itโs called Cloud Gate, and artist Anish Kapoor (yes, THAT Anish Kapoor) hates that we call it the Bean.
But i mean, look at it. Itโs a bean.
How could you forget this one though
I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA THAT THE BEAN WAS CREATED BY ANISH KAPOOR.
someone help me why is anish kapoor important what did he do?
Alright sit down for some Art World Drama bcause this is what I live for.
So, sometime last year (?) science invented Vantablack, which is the darkest possible shade of black. Art world got incredibly excited. But as it needs to be very carefully made in a lab, itโs hard to get a hold of, and is extremely expensive. Enter Anish Kapoor, aka FuckFace McGee. Anish Kapoor buys the rights to Vantablack. He is the only human being on the planet that can legally use it, and heโs kind of a prick about it.
Art world is not thrilled with that.
Enter Stuart Semple.
Stuart Semple is an artist, and also makes pigments to sell in his free time. Stuart Semple is astoundingly pissed about this Vantablack nonsense, and Anish Kapoorโs dickery. Stuart Semple makes a new pigment, the brightest shade of pink ever, called Pinkest Pink, and puts it for sale on the internet. To be bought by everybody except Anish Kapoor. Literally, to purchase, you need to confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, do not associate with him, and will not sell or give the pigment to Anish Kapoor or his associates. Art world has a good laugh, everyone buys Pinkest Pink because itโs awesome, and damn it we deserve something.
Anish Kapoor however is a penis, and will not take this lying down, because HOW DARE he not have literally everything.
Anish Kapoor gets his London associates to buy him a thing of Pinkest Pink, and being such a classy human being, posts a picture to instagram of him with his middle finger covered in Pinkest Pink, captioned withย โUp yours. #pinkโ
Everyone flips shit, because. Yโknow. Fuck that guy. Especially Stuart Semple. For context here, Anish Kapoor is one of the richest artists on the planet, and has repeatedly been referred to as everything wrong with the art world, and the epitome of the art worlds elitism problem. Heโs a giant douchebag. Meanwhile Stuart Semple makes pigments just to get them out there. He turns 0 profit from his now enourmously popular pigments.
Stuart Semple launches an investigation as to who the fuck leaked Pinkest Pink, and plans to strike back. He does so by releasing two new products. First is Diamond Dust, which is a glitter made from glass, so that a painting is still visible after itโs applied, but glitters like a mofo. Itโs the most reflective glitter out there, and is available to everyone who isnโt Anish Kapoor. And it being made of glass, if you stick your finger in there, itโs going to hurt quite a bit, so that was Stuart Sempleโs way of sayingย โshove your middle finger in this, asshole, see what happensโ. Except without saying that, because he can get an insult across while still being fucking classy.
He also releases Black 2.0, created with the help of over a thousand artists worldwide.
Black 2.0 is the answer to Vantablack. Black 2.0 is a slightly less black black, but looks functionally the same to the human eye. Itโs completely safe, smells like cherries, and costs four pounds. Vantablack is highly toxic, potentially explosive, needs to be applied in a special laboratory and sealed properly, canโt be moved across borders, can reach 300 degrees celsius if youโre not extremely careful, and costs thousands of dollars. Anish Kapoor is the only human being who can use Vantablack. He is the only human being who cannot use Black 2.0.
So I think we can guess who got the better deal.
And thus the feud ends, Kapoor defeated.
โฆBut not quite.
Kapoor, in this entire afair, has made exactly two comments to the public. The first being his charming message about aquiring Pinkest Pink, the second being claiming to Buzzfeed that he and his small army of lawyers will be suing Semple, an extremely poor artist who cannot afford a lawyer.
No lawsuit has been made yet, fyi.
The point is, Kapoor is a prick, and doesnโt like talking to the lower classes. So one day in July 2017, he decides he needs another floor on his London studio apartment, and starts making arrangements to have it built. His neighbors are fucking pissed, because this will ruin the light of their apartments. They call to Semple to save them, or at the very least piss Kapoor off some more.
Semple answers to the call, and releases two new paints, Phaze and Shift, as always, banned to Kapoor. They change colours, Phaze with temperature, and Shift is just iridescent. Shift needs to be painted over Black 2.0 to work, and Phaze just works on its own.
So thatโs been the art world for the last two years.
Basically, get fucked Anish Kapoor your bean sucks and so does your vantablack.
Stuart Semple is organising a bean-kissing event for Anish Kapoorโs birthday.
Reblogging for โBy attending this event you confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, you are in no way affiliated with Anish Kapoor, you are not attending on behalf of Anish Kapoor or an associate of Anish Kapoor. To the best of your knowledge, information, and belief this event will not be attended by Anish Kapoor.โ
ALSO HE JUST POSTED THIS!!!!!! LIGHTEST LIGHT!
I know this isnโt my art blog but this entire post gives me life
im sorry is that man holding a real actual miniature star in his hands
Yโall missed the best part about the lightest light, called aptlyย โLitโ. This is from their product page:
Two things:
1.ย โAnish Kapoor is however a penisโ is the best line in this post.
2. I wish to be half as petty and half as awesome as Stuart Semple
I hope Stuart Semple is making a lot of money. What a good person.
Go support him the paintโs are pretty cheap and you get the added bonus of being one of many to help piss off Anish Kapoor
He is my fucking role model for pettiness oh my god
It got better! Iโm also excited because he just released biodegradable glitter in non plastic containers! How amazing is that?! Stuart Semple, good guy for the planet and artists, fighter against the rich elite artist like asshole Kapoor.
An older project, but he also did this:
(x)
oh dude hes metal as fuckย
Every addition to this post is better than the last.
Iโm here for the girls who started out as overly invested straight allies. Iโm here for the girls who kissed other girls as a joke/when they were drunk/to piss people off. Iโm here for the girls who didnโt realize they liked girls and kept dating boys. Iโm here for the girls who like girls and still date boys. Iโm here for the girls who donโt have a romantic or traumatic coming out story. Iโm here for the girls who realized โoh fuck, maybe Iโm just actually gayโ and life went on as usual. Iโm here for the girls who think they arenโt valid because hey donโt have enough gay experiences. You are real and you are beautiful and I love you.
