yes i DO think you’re a loser and an idiot for using generative AI! yes i DO think you’re fucking stupid if you ask chatgpt questions! i do not respect you!
Instead of designing around virginity I designed around consent. They are wrapped in a grimy cloak but remain pure as long as their hands haven’t been used to harm another. Purity is not what has been done to you, but what you do to others
I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.
This is horrifying, upsetting, disgusting, and misogynistic on EVERY level. This isn't protecting her from anything except just caging her. I can't fathom the fact that religious people think it's normal and acceptable.
Exact : un expatrié est envoyé à l'étranger par son employeur, pour une durée limitée et déterminée, dans le cadre d'un contrat de travail spécifique. L'expatriation est un statut juridique et administratif précis.
Thaïs ne sera donc pas une expatrié mais bien une immigrée :)
This is the museum observer pose: you put your hands behind your back to
1) show you're not going to touch anything, and
2) counterbalance yourself when you lean in to look closer
Pirates engraved their hometown on the inside of their gold earrings. If their body washed up on a strange beach, the gold paid for the coffin and the engraving told the finder where to ship the bones home. Freeman is doing the same thing. He is just the latest in a line that goes back much further than pirates.
In 1991, hikers in the Alps found a frozen man who had died 5,300 years ago. His ears were pierced. The holes had stretched to 11mm wide. We call him Ötzi. He is the oldest person known to have worn earrings, and he predates pirates by nearly five thousand years.
Ancient Sumerian queens were buried in gold hoops the size of doughnuts. Persian soldiers wore earrings into battle for luck. By 600 BC, Greeks were placing a small coin called an obol in the mouth of the dead. It paid Charon, the ferryman who rowed souls into the underworld. No coin meant your soul was stuck on the riverbank for a hundred years.
That coin is the ancestor of the sailor earring. By the medieval period, Scottish law reportedly required fishermen to wear a gold earring so that if they drowned and washed up somewhere strange, the finder had enough money to bury them properly. Pirates added the address-engraving trick a few hundred years later.
Then came Cape Horn. The Dutch found the passage in 1616, where the Pacific and Atlantic crash into each other. Rogue waves, icebergs, ships smashed against rocks. Sailors called it the graveyard. If you made it past the Horn alive, you earned a gold loop in the ear that faced it. Cape of Good Hope earned a ring in the right ear. Both capes plus a lap around the planet earned three rings.
Freeman has been sailing since 1967. He has covered close to 40,000 miles in open ocean, mostly on a Shannon 43 sailboat. His wife pierced his ears when he was around 35. He calls himself a blue-water man, sailor talk for someone who crosses oceans instead of hugging the coast.
His 2019 Facebook post explaining the earrings was four sentences. He said the gold is worth just enough to buy him a coffin if he dies in a strange place, that this is why sailors used to wear them, and that this is why he does. The hoops in his ears are doing a job people have been asking jewelry to do for over five thousand years.
no one talks about how hard it is when your mood is constantly switching between “its okay, i don't care. i'm fine” and “i don't know how much more i can take”.
The artist behind this painting, Criselda Vasquez, painted this portrait of her parents in 2017. The man in this painting, her father, was recently taken by ICE. He has lived in the United States for forty years. This loss has made it hard for the family to support themselves. If you want to support them, you can go to their GoFundMe here:
