How about a Friday fore-edge painting?  This lovely work is on the edge of an early 19th century copy of the New Testament, and appropriately, it features Lincoln Cathedral.  When the book is closed, there’s no hint of the painting hidden beneath the gilded edge!

People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

This is 1000% more motivating than every preachy “real writers write every day” post on all of Tumblr.

Always gotta reblog the Two Cake Theory

Not to mention:
“This cake is less impressive, but I love the way it’s topped with a strawberry not cherries.”

You never know when your take on something might resonate with someone (and maybe inspire them to create something too)

5 SECONDS OF SUMMER • TUMBLR IRL • BROOKLYN, NY • 6/26/18

Last night in Brooklyn, we helped 300 lucky fans celebrated one of the biggest bands on Tumblr—the amazing 5 Seconds of Summer (@5sos​). 

There were fans were patiently lined up outside the venue as early as 6 a.m. the day before. It’s easy to be that dedicated when your faves are celebrating their third No. 1 Billboard album.

Like all IRLs, this wasn’t just a regular ol’ concert. This was a one-time only visual experience. Artist Signe Pierce (@signepierce​) brought their latest album, Youngblood, to life through radiant light direction, artistic projections, and a holographic photo installation. Every single audience member was given a single rose to keep or toss on stage as they saw fit.

If you didn’t get to make it to the IRL, don’t fret. We’ll be doing a special video Answer Time with the band tomorrow at 3 p.m. EST / 12 p.m. PST on their Tumblr, so be on the look out for that.

This just came to my mind

Tandy didn’t get the cloak ability obviously because she’s a runner, she didn’t need any help. Also in a way her white privilege is her cloak. She can move easier in the world, no cloak needed. BUT her being a woman is also kind of an invisibility. How men don’t really see her on a fair level. How rich guy sees her as less so he corners her in that ally.

Tyrone damn sure didn’t need the dagger ability. He’s got all that “poisin” in him just waiting to unleash on the cop. Him being a black male translates so negatively to ignorant people, they probably believe he’s got a weapon on him always. To society, his skin color IS the weapon.

Tandy’s white privilege works until her being a woman in today’s world kicks in. Her dagger helps her take back the control men think they are entitled to have over her.

Tyrone’s male privilege is cool until his blackness overrides it. The world labels him a thug. His cloak allows him to get justice for his brother in a way America doesn’t expect: rationally and without violence.
