The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.

Crazy idea they dress Ozzy and Joan up in crazy costumes for event and holidays. Or when Ozzy goes on tour with Steve and Eddie 😂
Oh man, I love this.
Jonathan is secure in the knowledge that if he woke up one morning to his entire career being over that he’d still have work taking pictures of Steve and Eddie’s pets.
Jonathan doesn’t even live in the same state as them, but Steve pays him to take their holiday pictures every year. For every holiday.
Steve will come up with a concept and then workshop it with Eddie until they find something tastefully unhinged. They will either spend hours looking for where to buy the costume, try to make them themselves, or commission a local seamstress. It is a highlight to Steve’s Facebook friends.
It’s almost something that has never made it off of Steve’s Facebook until very recently. Steve’s page is private and he’s pretty particular about who he’s befriending on Facebook, so up until Jonathan did a reddit AMA, that’s where it remained.
Someone asked him what the most unhinged photoshoot he’s done, and he explained that he had a friend that recently commissioned him to photograph their pets dressed as presidents for Presidents Day. He says, “The real divas are the cats. They don’t listen to anything.”
People beg to see the pictures, so Jonathan posted one.
In the photo, it’s none other than infamous rockstar Eddie Munson, his husband, their dog, and their cat dressed as the presidents on Mount Rushmore. Ozzy is dressed as Teddy Roosevelt with round glasses and a fake mustache. He is taking the photo seriously. Joan is dressed as Abraham Lincoln with a little beard and top hat. She looks like she’s smiling with her fangs sticking out.
It is the only good picture Jonathan got that day.

Hey I gotta have some Londoncentric uk folks following me, right? Can anyone tell me what the best/biggest art supply shop in (relatively central) London is? Going there for another ill adviced concert trip and I desperately need to find a place that can sell me those new hot brush tip paint markers because nowhere in Norway is importing them.
(Here are the last drawings I did at work last night as compensation for text post)

sometimes instagram ads can be useful (<- guy who just got a TWENTY-FIVE DOLLAR ticket to see a production of King Lear that looks so fucking good FROM THE SECOND ROW simply because they saw an instagram ad talking about the discount tickets for people under 30)

Fun fact! You could still get tickets to see Käärijä, Kuumaa, Erika Vikman X Benjamin, and Bess shows at Allas Sea Pool this summer!
Other fun fact! What the fuck do you mean Erika Vikman And Benjamin coheadliner show back to back with Käärijä? How is anyone supposed to survive both or choose just one? And how is Kuumaa the only one out of these that has sold out a show and gotten an additional date, when they had 2 to start out with and the most expensive tickets out of this group?
