Everyone!! After Years And Years, Paint Tool SAI Is Finally Getting An Upgrade! Go Try The Paint Tool

I haven’t seen anyone point out that the Mona Lisa is also a metaphor for the glass onion. Like the majority of people look at the Mona Lisa and think she’s an enigma, they wonder what she’s thinking. They wonder who she was, what she was thinking. They talk about the layers and the complexities of this woman’s smile when in reality she isn’t a mystery at all.

The Mona Lisa was a commission from a wealthy silk merchant who wanted to celebrate the birth of his second son by having a portrait of his wife be painted by that up and coming artist. Like we know exactly who she was, why she’s smiling, we know who she is. But despite this the air of mystery surrounding the Mona Lisa continues because people love her perceived mystery. They love imagining that there are more layers to her than there really was. And it fits so beautifully.

I can’t understand why there is the stereotype that children of color are aspiring delinquents. Kids can be so beyond selfless and this one would rather stand between a gun and his classmates rather than see them get hurt.

The question I have is why in the hell is a teacher asking kids to be human shields?

This child is one of the reasons why I have faith in today kids, and I pray to God he never has to stand and protect his friends against a mad man.

Welcome to the space age, ladies and gentlemen

A tip for hiding things: sometimes if you’re not wearing it you can hide it in a pillow on your neatly made bed, people rarely suspect your bed as a hiding place and if its kept neat you don’t risk someone trying to make it. Also, you can start taking an extra pair of clothes in your school backpack so they wont question the binder if they find it in there.

How to have a binder without your parents knowing:

Pick the binder you want online, add it to the website’s shopping cart and start to check out until you find how much it costs with shipping and tax.

Save up enough money to buy the binder. Make sure you have a few dollars extra, to buy the card itself and just in case.

Go into a store and buy a prepaid VISA card. They have them at lots of stores, even CVS. (You can also ask a friend to do this if you can’t get to a store on your own)

Prepaid credit cards require you to be 18 to open an account, but you can purchase prepaid gift cards at a grocery or other store at any age and use them wherever Visa, MasterCard or AMEX are accepted. 

These gift cards, which aren’t reloadable, usually carry an activation fee along the lines of $4.95 for every $50 increment. You usually find them in denominations of $25, $50 or $100.

Buy the binder online. Put the name on the card as “Visa” in the payment section of the website. If you don’t have access to a computer at home, use one at the library. 

Clear your internet history if you’re at home. Make sure the invoice is sent to an email that only you have access to.

Ship it to a consenting friend’s house or an accepting relative, if you have one. Or ship it to your own house and say you bought a present for someone. You may have to go to a store in person and buy a physical present to then gift to cover up that it wasn’t in the package.

Hide it when you get it.

Handwash it when it gets dirty. Or start doing your laundry yourself. Wring it out and hang it to dry in the back of your closet.

Bring it in a bag with you to change into it when you’re out of the house.

(Or ask a friend with a debit/credit/gift card to buy you a binder if you give them the cash.)

Does any one know of a art generator for writers who can’t  draw?

I create a lot of fictional characters, most of which aren't human, so visualizing them is incredibly hard. I can’t draw no matter how much I practice (My brain literally can not make my muscles hold steady) and my sister hates drawing for me, so i literally have no way to have a physical image of my humanoid, cat-orc who wears a hijab.

Just some resources if you need them! Thank you to my friends @dahlialiketheflower, Terrence, @tallykat3, and Quil for assisting! 💜

Good news for you, this August 23rd.

I’m making a list of interactions between my 13 yr old sister and her 13 yr old frenemy from theater.

…

Him: I’m such a bad dancer :( I suck.

Her (deciding to be nice today): you don’t suck you just turn wrong. :)

…

Him: I’m a homosexual

Her: suddenly I’m homophobic.

…

Him: lesbian// derogatory

Her an asexual: …

Random third kid: you’re one of them queers?

Her: apparently

…

Him: -waves at her because he saw her in the wild-

Her: -looks over her shoulder for who he could possibly be waving to-

Him: you do this every time! >:(
