Shelley Duvall for Vogue back in 1979, reminding us all how drab post 2000's fashion is and how we really should need to put more colour back to our daily lives. #fashion #shelleyduvall #actress #vogue

I'm writing an article about the Biden administration's progress on ocean conservation policy, and I'm asking the people I interview how it compares to the Trump administration's plans I wish I was a good enough writer to convey their facial expressions when they hear this question.

The idea of “spoilers” was popularized by studios to combat the rise of sites like Ain’t It Cool News, and prior to the late 1990s, the idea of “spoiling” a movie largely didn’t exist outside of obvious twists (“I am your father”; the identity of Mother, etc.).

okay it's time for a prompt post: respond to this post with a correction to a common misconception about something you know a lot about. if you feel like it, boost your response. (please use a kindly tone about it, otherwise i, your prompt curator, will get anxious.)

Sorry for grandpa screenshots (phone photo of second screen) but working out some frustration in Procreate tonight — haven’t made the second one work yet after a few iterations and color may have been a false move, but frankly I just needed something absorbing to do with my hands, and my spite

Back in my day bards were a universal punchline of useless classes and I deeply resent that they are now cool and ultrapopular.

This was our favorite of the dioramas, so we're keeping it. We have many enchanted feeling lights in our house, but this looks like a legitimate magical item among them! ✨There will be five similar pieces in our sh0p update this Friday ✨ #art #originalart #dnd #sculpture #centerpiece

Lovely color use.
