stop bastardizing frida kahlo
skullxcrusher

  1. Frida Kahlo was a communist. She was actively anti-capitalist and guess what? She would be whole-heartedly against her image being plastered all over clothing that is most likely assembled through sweatshop labor of woc and then sold by multi-million dollar corporations. 
  2. Although she was mestiz@, she HATED white people and their beauty standards. She even said white people “look like unbaked rolls.” She did not think you were cute. Stop accessorizing her image when she fucking hated yours.
  3. Similarly, she rejected popular notions of ‘femininity’ through her choice to not shave, dress “masculine,” and even use makeup to darken her facial hair. She aimed to deconstruct the ways in which we understood femininity. How does putting her all over pink and floral dresses and shirts make any sense? 
  4. Many of the nude photos of her are fake. Frida was disabled. She had an accident that left physical marks on her body and any real nude photos of her would show this. Stop erasing her struggles as a woman with a disability.
  5. Again, she was anti-capitalist, anti-white, and critical of the concepts of femininity. Trust me, she would want nothing to do with your white-washed, slutwalk-promoting, liberal feminist bullshit. 

In summary she would hate anything and everything you mayo ass tumblr hipsters have done or thought to do with her image. Leave her face alone and let it belong to her. Use it to represent what she actually stood for, or back the fuck off.

caress your clay smoothly. make eye contact with your clay. make it feel mildly uncomfortable as you knead it beneath gentle, yet firm, hands. finger your clay in an open field under the stars. kiss your clay on the mouth and tell it that you love it, forever, no matter what

Here are a couple of the less well-known pieces of astrophotography.

These two images were originally sent back to Earth from the Soviet Venera program probes (I believe these specific two came from Venera 13, though I don’t have the citation to hand).

That’s right - that barren rocky wasteland is Venus.

These images are particularly notable because Venus has a surface temperature of over 460 Celsius and a pressure of around 90 bars. That atmosphere is also pure poison. The clouds you can see aren’t water vapour; they’re composed of droplets of sulphuric acid. The ‘air’ itself is 94% carbon dioxide, with most of the rest being nitrogen and a lot of weird nasties.

None of the Venera landers remained operational for more than a couple of hours once on Venus’s surface. But frankly, given how unbelievably hostile the surface conditions are there, it’s a miracle they were able to function at all.
