Riusuke Fukahori Creates Incredible Depth In His Artworks By Painting A Layer At A Time Onto Acrylic

btw for people worried about that post where someone claims that tumblr is cutting staff so it will only be run by a “skeleton crew”:

1) the post is over a month old, and

2) op has since “clarified” that the note to staff doesn’t actually say that the staff running tumblr’s functionality has been or will been reduced at all, and is just their conjecture:

as usual you should keep copies of anything you want to keep from tumblr in case it ever goes down, but there doesn’t actually seem to be any reason to think the site is about to go under

Just a tuesday in Canada

Ugh, ok. I didn’t want to have to say this, but… I keep seeing those cheeky posts going around like “Tee hee, I sure hope no protesters know that-” or “It would be a shame if anyone were to-”

Guys, PLEASE STOP SPREADING THOSE. Those posts are going to get someone hurt.

You should NOT trust unverified advice from strangers on the internet. Honestly, some of the advice I’ve seen is so bad I almost have to wonder if it was created by plants to try to get people hurt. Speaking as someone who’s involved in multiple martial arts, improper self-defense techniques will get you hurt; Speaking as someone who is familiar with plywood, it ain’t going to do shit to block a heavy projectile and WILL fill you with horrible splinters. Unless you know for certain advice is trustworthy, you should be neither listening to nor spreading it.

If you see any attempt at combat or self-defense advice online, you should ask yourself:

Who is posting it?

What are their qualifications?

Where did they get this information?

Is it being explained in a clear, detailed, and easy-to-understand manner?

What are the precautions? How might this go wrong?

If you don’t have good answers to these questions, then it’s bad advice and should not be followed or spread. Sure, maybe some of it might be genuinely good advice- But it might not be, and unless you know for sure, then it’s far better to err on the side of caution than to risk getting hurt.

Be safe, be smart, and always check your sources.

things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever

change the color used to highlight text on your laptop

move the pictures on your wall

stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room

start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing

wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015

Okay now that you guys have liked Lil Nas X, Megan thee Stallion, Kendrick Lamar AND Doechii. Surely you can listen to rap now. Surely you see the merits of the genre. Surely.
