tw: panic, alarms When you had plans for the day but the city is doing a 15min siren test that randomly triggers you so you spend 30min sobbing and calming down 👍

Normally I can handle these but they caught me during PMS so I had like no mental resources left.
Pinterest is so funny sometimes. This is about The Picture of Dorian Gray 😂

Today I finally read Macbeth and I will say it again: The way in which Shakespeare puts life's biggest struggles right next to a dick joke is 👌👌👌

Also its just so relatable. I mean who hasnt had one of those days where your wife tells you to commit multiple murders and says youre impotent if you chicken out bc she would easily kill a baby?
When I don't renew my @artinstitutechi membership for the first time, it's because AIC desecrated "Untitled" (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) by Felix Gonzalez-Torres. The erasure of Ross's memory and Gonzalez-Torres's intent in the new description is an unconsciable and banal evil.
A beige Art Institute of Chicago gallery plaque reading: Felix Gonzalez-Torres American, born Cuba, 1957-1996 "Untitled" (Portrait of Ross in L.A) 1991 Candies individually wrapped in multicolor cellophane This installation is an allegorical portrait of the artist's partner, Ross Laycock, who died of an AIDS-related illness in 1991. The 175 pounds of candy can be seen to correspond to Laycock's ideal body weight. Adult visitors are invited to take a piece of candy; the diminishing pile parallels Laycock's weight loss prior to his death. The museum can choose to replenish the pile, metaphorically ensuring Laycock perpetual life, or to let the pile disappear over time.

A banal beige Art Institute of Chicago gallery plaque reading: Felix Gonzalez-Torres American, born Cuba, 1957-1996 "Untitled" (Portrait of Ross in L.A) 1991 Candies individually wrapped in multicolor cellophane, endless supply Overall dimensions vary with installation; ideal weight: 175 lbs. Felix Gonzalez-Torres's work is characterized by a sense of quiet elegy. He possessed an uncanny ability to produce elegant and restrained sculptural forms out of common materials. "Untitled" (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) consists of commercially available shiny wrapped confections. The physical form of the work changes depending on the way it is installed. The ideal weight of the work, 175 pounds, corresponds to the average body weight of an adult male. As visitors choose to take candy from the work, the volume and weight of the work decrease.

I randomly stumbled over Donal Skehan again 10 years after a friend had a massive crush on him and his grey hair sent me right into an existential crisis. But luckily he's only 36 and turned grey very early as it appears. I swear I just thought my life had skipped 10 years.

Kennt Ihr das „Signal for Help“? - Bitte RT Damit machte in Rheinland-Pfalz eine 14 Jährige auf sich aufmerksam, die von einem Mann belästigt wurde. Das „Signal for Help“ ist ein international bekannter #Hilferuf, der es ermöglicht heimlich auf Euch aufmerksam zu machen. #LKABW

every friend group has - a woman who delights in anything ridiculous - her soft-spoken sister - a 27-year-old spinster with no prospects - a wealthy and uncomfortable gentleman - his best friend - the best friend's deeply unpleasant sisters
