Iā€™m going to point out some weird things about @projecttrinityā€˜s upcoming visual novelĀ ā€œWomen of Xalā€ in relation to this site.
1) Itā€™s an upcoming Kickstarter bound otome game that very obviously is PoC / People of Color  WoC/ Women of Color centric. Weā€™ve got a bi female lead with several romancable women. And itā€™s in a harsh matriarchal society ready to give some brutal parallels to our own. Being helmed by a very capable and snarky Black writer. The two programmers are women. The artists are women. The singers are women. One of the animators is a woman. AND THEREā€™S TANGIBLE QUALITY TO IT! I thought weā€™ve been asking for more projects like this for years now. But Tumblr has been the most quiet of the four sites

itā€™s updating on???

 (Youtube, Facebook, LemmSoftForums, Tumblr)Ā 
2) How are hateful anons finding this project before everyone else? Why are we letting Black creatives feel like the anon has a point about Tumblr not caring? Isnā€™t this site notorious for propping up content like this? Where are my feminists at?!
Like, I truly get it: Most of you will have only just heard of this. And Tumblr didnā€™t make it easy in the first place. Tags and timing are madly important. But so are reblogs and follows! Youā€™re reading this now - thereā€™s nothing truly stopping you from showing that anon the middle finger. For every time WE DONā€™T JUSTĀ ā€˜HEARTā€™ A CREATIVEā€™S POST and reblog/follow their content, we prove hateful anons like this wrong. And every time we prove them wrong, we send an encouraging message to other minorities who want to share their passions with the world, but face that uphill battle.
And hey, the writer clearly has faith in this site still:

You can find out more about the projectĀ here.
Or, better yet, follow, and support the team here!

(Bonus Note: If youā€™re someone who has been reblogging a lot of content from this team as well, cheers, fellow sisters! 3)

Something unrelated, but, please help support! :)Ā 

Tumblrā€™s pretty good about ignoring black creators, hell alot of black people on tumblr are pretty good about ignoring black creators. Which really goes to show you most of the folks on here are just being performative for good noodle stars and arenā€™t really about anything.

if youā€™ve ever wondered what itā€™s like to live in the midwest, this is it.Ā 

You missed some of the best ones 

the best part about it is that the art installation isnā€™t actually called the Bean. Itā€™s called Cloud Gate, and artist Anish Kapoor (yes, THAT Anish Kapoor) hates that we call it the Bean.
But i mean, look at it. Itā€™s 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, itā€™s 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 heā€™s 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 Kapoorā€™s 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 itā€™s 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 withĀ ā€œUp yours. #pinkā€
Everyone flips shit, because. Yā€™know. 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. Heā€™s 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 itā€™s applied, but glitters like a mofo. Itā€™s the most reflective glitter out there, and is available to everyone who isnā€™t Anish Kapoor. And it being made of glass, if you stick your finger in there, itā€™s going to hurt quite a bit, so that was Stuart Sempleā€™s way of sayingĀ ā€œshove your middle finger in this, asshole, see what happensā€. 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. Itā€™s 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, canā€™t be moved across borders, can reach 300 degrees celsius if youā€™re 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.
ā€¦But 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 doesnā€™t 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 thatā€™s 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 Kapoorā€™s birthday.


Reblogging for ā€œBy 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.ā€


ALSO HE JUST POSTED THIS!!!!!! LIGHTEST LIGHT!


I know this isnā€™t my art blog but this entire post gives me life 

im sorry is that man holding a real actual miniature star in his hands

Yā€™all missed the best part about the lightest light, called aptlyĀ ā€˜Litā€™. This is from their product page:

Two things:
1.Ā ā€œAnish Kapoor is however a penisā€ 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 paintā€™s 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! Iā€™m 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:

oh dude hes metal as fuckĀ

 even with those four numbers there are countless possible combinations good
 luck with figuring out which one is the right one you punk

 straightens calculator
 It's pretty likely that it's a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen
 there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:
 n!/(n-4)! possible orders. As 'n' is 4 (number of digits available). 41/0! which
 becomes 4x3x2x1/1 which simplifies to 24. That means that there are 24
 possible combinations of codes. This would take you about two or three
 minutes to input all possible codes.

 well 'technically' the code is most likley 1970. statistically, a majority of people,
 when told to choose a 4 digit code will choose their birth year. and this key pad

 No, no, no. Don't base your deductions of psychology. Let's talk chemistry.
 When you first press a button, there's more of the natural oils on your skin, and
 therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first

 even with those four numbers there are countless possible combinations good
 luck with figuring out which one is the right one you punk

 It's pretty likely that it's a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen
 there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:
 n!/(n-4)! possible orders. As 'n' is 4 (number of digits available). 41/0! which
 becomes 4x3x2x1/1 which simplifies to 24. That means that there are 24
 possible combinations of codes. This would take you about two or three
 minutes to input all possible codes.

 well 'technically' the code is most likley 1970. statistically, a majority of people,
 when told to choose a 4 digit code will choose their birth year. and this key pad
 is obviously a few years old to put it nicely, thats most likley it

 No, no, no. Don't base your deductions of psychology. Let's talk chemistry.
 When you first press a button, there's more of the natural oils on your skin, and
 therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first
 one, then. Try 0791 first.
 Sherlock out.

    Birthday, Tumblr, and Best: WHAT THEy DON'T UNDERSTAND ABouT BIrtHDAYS AnD wHAT
 they never tell you is that when you're eleven, you're also ten,
 and nine, and eight, and seven, and six, and five, and four, and
 three, and two, and one. And when you wake up on your
 eleventh birthday you expect to feel eleven, but you don't. Yotu
 open your eyes and everything's just like yesterday, only it's
 today. And you don't feel eleven at all. You feel like you're still
 ten. And you are-underneath the year that makes you eleven
 Like some days you might say something stupid, and that's
 the part of you that's still ten. Or maybe some days you might
 need to sit on your mama's lap because you're scared, and that's
 the part of you that's five. And maybe one day when you're all
 grown up maybe you will need to cry like if you're three, and
 that's okay. That's what I tell Mama when she's sad and needs
 to cry. Maybe she's feeling three.
 Because the way you grow old is kind of like an onion or like
 the rings inside a tree trunk or like my little wooden dolls that
 fit one inside the other, each year inside the next one. That's
 how being eleven years old is
 You don't feel eleven. Not right away. It takes a few days,
 weeks even, sometimes even months before you say Eleven
 when they ask you. And you don't feel smart eleven, not until
 you're almost twelve. That's the way it is.

munchlax is pretty hot
happy 10 year anniversary of munchlax being pretty hot

Actually know what reblogging again bc the girl with the white ds knows what the FUCK is up and pink girl is either a dumbass or a scammer. 
In DPP (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum) sneasel shows up on five different routes, and then evolves into weavile when leveled with a razor claw at night. Razor claws arenā€™t hard to find either, so while thereā€™s minimal effort involved here, weavile isnā€™t really special.
Munchlax, though? Jesus fuck. Jesus fucking christ. Munchlax in DPP is one of the most difficult PokĆ©mon in ANY of the gamesā€”if not the absolute most difficult. DPP has a mechanic where you could slather honey on certain trees, and six hours later a PokĆ©mon would turn up on the tree. Several of the PokĆ©mon you could get this way were common, but some could ONLY be obtained from honey trees. You couldnā€™t change the DS systemā€™s time to speed things up, because the trees ran on their own counterā€”so you HAD to wait six hours for a PokĆ©mon to show up.
It gets worse. There were 21 of these honey trees in the game, and regardless of the treeā€™s location, and tree could summon any of the ā€œhoney tree PokĆ©monā€¦ā€
Except. Fucking. Munchlax.
Only FOUR trees in the game had the potential to summon Munchlax. Which trees, you ask? Guess. No, literally, take a fucking guessā€”because the four trees that can summon Munchlax are decided at random based on your trainer ID and secret ID. There is NO way to determine which trees they are unless you feel like hacking into your gameā€™s data and then doing some weird complicated math.
Thatā€™s not all. You thought that was all? You thought Munchlax was a merciful god that would take pity on your tiny, pathetic body? Oh no. Not even close. Munchlax isnā€™t done with you yet, Munchlax is going to peel you like a fucking mango and laugh while you cry. 
Munchlax only has a 1% encounter rate. 
ONE. PERCENT. As in 1/100. 
So to recapā€”4/21 honey trees (and you donā€™t know which ones) have a 1% chance of summoning this little motherfucker once every six hours. Thatā€™s it. No fast tracking, no cheats, and no workarounds. Munchlax in DPP is the holy grail of hard to find PokĆ©mon.
And pinky here has the AUDACITY to offer the MUCH more easily obtainable weavile for it. Fuck that. Fuck that!!! White DS girl knows what the FUCK is up!!!
In conclusion;
Munchlax is pretty hotā€¦ Try again.

Bitch.

    Children, College, and Confidence: Maya's Homework

 Hello Maya's teachers,
 Maya will be drastically reducing the amount of homework she does this year. She's been very stressed and is starting to have
 physical symptoms such as chest pain and waking up at 4AM worrying about her school workload.
 She's not behind academically and very much enjoys school. We've consulted with a tutor and a therapist suggested we lighten
 her workload. Doing 2-3 hours of homework after getting home at 4:30 is leaving little time for her to just be a child and enjoy
 family time and we'd like to avoid her sinking into a depression over this.
 Thank you for understanding.
 warmly, Bunmi

ā€œHello Mayaā€™s teachers,

A++++ parenting šŸ’œ

Iā€™ve talked with a whole cadre of child therapists and psychiatrists about this very issue. There is little conclusive evidenceĀ that homework significantly improves elementary school childrenā€™s grades, understanding of subjects, or facility with various operations, processes, etc. However, plenty of evidence suggests that ever-increasing amounts of homework for young children lead to stress, anxiety, emotional fatigue, resistance toward academics in general, lack of leisure time to build social/interpersonal skills, and poorer family relations. Ā (My kids were doing about 3 hours a week IN KINDERGARTEN, at age 5 ā€“ so thatā€™s Ā½ hour every night, after a 6.5 hour school day, or else saving it up for long slogs over the weekend, even more disruptive. And that wasnā€™t including reading practice!) 


We have stopped doing homework altogether with my 7 year old as a result of severe anxiety/depression and a learning disability. She had gotten to a place where she had so little self confidence and truly believed that she was stupid and worthless, not just because of homework of course ā€“ but every time we tried to sit down to do homework with her, itā€™d end in tears with her really vehemently berating herself, and no amount of encouragement could ameliorate the damage done. Now, granted, sheā€™s got other things going on besides just an overload of school work. But in NO WAY did the homework help her, either academically or emotionally.Ā 
No little kid should have to spend an hour or more each night getting through homework. Now, my deal with Siena is that if she wants to give her homework a shot, I will absolutely help her if she wishes for help, but I no longer force her to complete all of it or to work on it for some set length of time before finally throwing in the towel.Ā 
Guess what? With the pressure taken off, sheā€™s actually doing MORE independent work now, purely out of the desire to learn and practice, than she ever was before weā€™d decided with her therapy team and school that homework was just not a thing this kid could handle.
Luckily for my older daughter my schoolā€™s 3rd-grade team decided to hand out homework only 3x/week, and the sheets take no more than 15-20 minutes to complete. That is totally reasonable for 8-9 year olds!Ā 
Anyway tl;dr just because the school system may require it sure as shit doesnā€™t mean parents canā€™t, or shouldnā€™t, fight it. Do whatā€™s right for your kid, and above all, let them be kids.Ā 

I eventually stopped doing homework because I was overwhelmed by it.

There was an article just the other day in the local paper about a primary school thatā€™s abolishing homework! You can read it here (autoplay video, gives you a few seconds to stop it).


Homework is intrusive in a young childā€™s life. It makes sense for adults who will likely have to bring work home with them so in college itā€™s good training. But for young kids. No.

Seriously Iā€™m 100% on board with this. There are high school students expected to do three or four hours and beyond worth of homework every day. Itā€™s fucking ridiculous. And I work in elementary school where we literally have little kids develop anxiety disorder and have panic attacks over homework and testing. This shit is not normal.

Homework is intrusive in a young childā€™s life. It makes sense for adults who will likely have to bring work home with them so in college itā€™s good training. But for young kids. No.

Seriously Iā€™m 100% on board with this. There are high school students expected to do three or four hours and beyond worth of homework every day. Itā€™s fucking ridiculous. And I work in elementary school where we literally have little kids develop anxiety disorder and have panic attacks over homework and testing. This shit is not normal.
