Kimiko Nishimoto Self Portraits Japan (c. 2016) [Source]
Self-Portraits by 87-Year-Old Photographer Kimiko Nishimoto
Kimiko Nishimoto learned how to use a camera for the first time at the age of 71 and even furthered her skills by taking courses on digital editing to manipulate her images. While she mostly focuses on still life and nature photography, she has a series of hilarious self-portraits involving random costumes and staged falls.
every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt
he stole christmas, kayla! stop with your #notallgrinches propaganda!
you know what if someone told me i was a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce i’d probably be bitter enough to steal christmas too
Interestingly, though The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is narrated by Boris Karloff, the big musical number is sung by the late Thurl Ravenscroft - an American voice actor better known as the voice of Tony the Tiger.
My headcanon is that the Grinch and Tony the Tiger had a bad breakup, and “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” is the resulting breakup song.
Did this really HAVE to be the first thing I see when I opened up Tumblr?
I thought it was going to be a nice relaxing Saturday
But oh no
A blogger follow on here starts posting confirming suicidal thoughts
and my psychiatric instincts (which was my job goal for many years – I was so close that I started volunteering as a crisis intervention counselor) went BEEP BEEP NO BUENO MUST INTERVENE
she’s been ignoring all my attempts to talk to her, both replies and messages since Monday
and all I can do is look at her recent updates on Facebook and say to myself “she was alive at least 5 hours ago” and keep doing that
and because I’m not her mutual or IRL friend, this will have to be enough.
“In August 2015, a homophobic San Gabriel Valley Chinese church announced a march to protest marriage equality. This was met by a huge counter protest led by API Equality-LA, Asian Americans Advancing Justice-LA, and other LGBT rights affirming groups. While the counterprotest was successful, one realizes the disconnect between queer APIs from the SGV and a community that may not completely understand who we are. This documentary and project seeks to share the unique stories of LGBTQIA+ Asian Pacific Islanders from the San Gabriel Valley and greater 626 area code.”
Kid Cudi announced Tuesday night that he’s checking himself into rehab to address his “depression and suicidal urges,” as he wrote in an open letter to fans posted to Facebook.
The letter displays a level of openness and of vulnerability artists rarely offer their fans. Cudi deserves praise for his strength and the light that he’s shining on mental health especially as a black male artist.
The Department of Delicious Deception should know better than to try to eat wooden food, but the work of Japanese wood sculptor Seiji Kawasaki is so awesomely realistic, we just know they’re going to take a nibble at the earliest opportunity. Just look at these croissants, so flaky and buttery:
But they aren’t flaky, buttery pastries at all. They’re blocks of wood, hand-carved to the tiniest detail and painstakingly painted by Kawasaki. Each piece takes 2-3 hours to complete, some of which aren’t simply decorative. These red peppers, for example, function as chopstick rests:
