Curate, connect, and discover
Having a ton of ideas for things you want to make but not being able to use any of them.
Because:
- You don’t have time to make them because of school, work, personal problems or other stuff.
- You forgot to write it down and now it’s lost in void of your thoughts (probably) forever.
- Either you have no motivation enough to make it. Or you realise it won’t ever come out the way you had in mind because your not at the skill level needed for the making that kind of piece.
- You have an artblock or procrastinate for any other possible reason whatsoever.
- You get demotivated because someone already made something similar looking and you’re under the assumption they’re way better anyway.
- People critisize your ideas to the point where you don’t even believe in them anymore.
- You get distracted by social media, tv, events or other stuff.
- Your ideas include way to much work to do all alone. But you don’t know not enough people who would possibly want to help you create even one idea without getting payed.
- Someone steals your ideas and keeps using them without permission.
- You started a project but the people who you worked with you on it throw you out of the group, mistreat you or leave the project themselves.
- You get sick, injured or don’t feel good for another reason. And are practicly unable to work.
- Your art teacher laughs at your ideas and way of making them.
- Your inspiration runs out and you get stuck.

Reblog if this is is relatable. And feel free to send me solutions to these problems if you have any.
So apparently this crispy creme tiktok prankster was attempting to - start recording - punch a stranger in the face - clip out the part with the punch - and then act like a victim of black violence
Their plan failed at step 2 when they chose Denzel as their target, a man who's won every fight he's been in and has a long history of violence stretching back to being a toddler.
The only reason Denzel never gets arrested is because he never starts any of these fights but boy does he end them.
Denzel - sensed the punch coming - stepped away - swung round to face his opponent - grabbed the wrist of his attacker while the punch was still mid-swing - twisted this dude's arm backwards - slammed him face first into the concrete sidewalk - kicked the dumbass in the armpit - and then when the prankster started wailing started yelling at him "We good? We good, son?"
The police turned up and collected the big white baby off the floor and Denzel was later told that he'd shattered the man's elbow.
Denzel's reaction to this information... "Tell me something I don't know."
White violence is a thing. Some people forget that certain people are very used to it.
(so mad i can’t see straight) Yeah i just don’t think chat gpt is a good classroom tool
I'm telling you. Read books. There's an entire world of dead useful knowledge contained. There are so many books that have a TON of useful information while also being easier to read than textbooks.
Listen, I know the internet's gone to pieces. Misinformation is practically the only thing you can be certain of with any search engine.
But books.
I mean yeah, there are books that are inaccurate. Or outdated. But for the most part, if someone cares enough to compile so much information on a subject together into a book, they care enough to make sure it's right. After all, it's not so easy to edit it like a blog once it's published. They're not spending so much time and labor putting together random units of information they stumbled across on the internet. They're doing this with genuine research and careful time and knowledge.
Let me emphasize one more time that there are so many books with real information that are NOT COLLEGE TEXTBOOKS (though those can be incredible sources of information too!). There is real information out there in very easy to process formats if you're willing to open a book and thumb through the index, table of contents, or even just all the pages.
...I mean, it does require us to care a little bit. It's certainly not as fast and convenient as a quick internet search. But it is so much more reliable, and if you care to know more about a subject I think it's important to care enough to get some solid information about it and not just a once-and-done.
Side note, did you know the Dewey Decimal System has a number for everything? Actually everything? Want to pick up a book on crochet or leatherworking? Dewey's got you. Learn about moths? Yup. Politics? Public speaking? Languages? Writing? Architecture? Librarians have master's degrees specifically so they can help you find things in the DDS (and also for other reasons but ya know).
