Today is the only day you can share this meme. Precisely 2000 years prior to March 6th 4017. The day Squidward trapped himself in the freezer. March 6th 2017.
my mom taught me the therapeutic power of cleaning. open all the windows. throw out the old. wipe down the entire house. burn some incense. roast some coffee. then rest. that way the tears from last night don’t feel as heavy.
you wanna see some badass shit from the early 20th century?? The Lumière brothers created the first full color photograph… in fucking 1903! So these dudes dyed potatoes (in red, blue, and green), mashed them down into just pure fuckin’ starch, and used these dyed potato starches as filters to block out/let in certain wavelengths of light. They coated one side of a glass plate with the starches and sensitized the other side with a mixture of gelatin and light sensitive materials (silver nitrate) and loaded these plates in their cameras.. This is a really simple explanation of the process and I may have missed some things
draw women in post-apocalyptic world settings with armpit hair, leg hair, bushy brows and pubic hair ya cowards,, draw brown women/women with dark thick hair with arm hair and happy trails and sideburns and mustaches i’m sick of seeing silky smooth soapy clean make up wearing post apocalyptic dolled up women next to stinky sweaty crusty men with dirty nails and sweaty clothes and sweaty greasy hair and 3m long ugly beards
THANK YOU
or, contrariwise, how about the men get dolled up too, in a low tech way? how about the men braid beads into their beards, shave their heads and paint designs on their scalps, paint wild colors around their eyes?
it’s not like hygiene was invented at the same time as electricity. you can shave with a flint or a clamshell. you can make makeup out of berries and clay. the thing that’s gone away isn’t the human drive to be clean and decorated, it’s the constant enforcement of a bland standard of beauty by magazines and television.
tell you what, i’m a guy and if i was kicking around some post-apocalyptic wasteland i’d have my hair and beard all braided up like a fantasy dwarf, eyeliner like the winter soldier, rings on every finger, and be wearing clothes dyed bright with red cabbage and indigo and madder root. and my fingernails would be clean, dammit.
Wowe Tumblr really did the dang thing, huh?
