I applied to art schools Fall 2013, was disappointed, so I'm giving it another go for Fall 2014.Does that make Flotsam and Jetsam Yahoo! Mail & Yahoo! Messenger?
I didn’t realize Tumblr was loosing money.
On the other hand, be glad it wasn’t Google. Google always has way too big of interests other than its users. The US government has its hands in Google searches, and I don’t trust it when it comes to user security and privacy. Hopefully Yahoo won’t screw it up. Visual adverts on the dashboard would ruin the user experience. They just need to mainstream it, like Twitter. I mean, Tumblr is already basically the blogging mainstream anyway. You almost can’t call them blogs—it’s too social, too conversational. Maybe if Yahoo didn’t go at it with an visual advertising mindset, maybe it’ll work.

November 17, 2003 - Disney has shut down production on the animated movie “A Few Good Ghosts” for creative reasons.
“A Few Good Ghosts,” which mixed traditional and computer-generated animation, had already gone through a number of title changes — including “My Peoples” and “Angel and Her No Good Sister” — and was being directed by Barry Cook, one of the directors of 1998’s “Mulan.” Set to a bluegrass score, it revolved around a group of ghosts inhabiting folk-art dolls. Its voice cast included Hal Holbrook, Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin.

Everyone on my Tumblr dash, PLEASE watch this. Especially if you are a creative artist:
Adobe is going to scrap their hard copies (disks) for their software (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Flash), and have you pay a subscription for the latest software called the Adobe Creative Cloud. $50 per month. Could you really afford such an expense in the long run?
This is really disturbing. Please hear what he has to say, it really is a serious situation for working artists. Pass this along so others may know about the Adobe Creative Cloud and how horrible it is.
Yep… Just went to see how much Flash costs. You know, to just buy the program? Guess what? After spending a while looking, it appears that you CAN’T anymore. You have to pay an outrageous subscription fee. I hate adobe. Is there a petition going around to stop this nonsense? Because I want to sign it.
Thanks! I know a lot of artists and people who like art follow me. You guys should go sign that.
Today I just signed the petition in the voice against the Adobe Creative Cloud. For those who are not familiar with what the new Creative Cloud can do to you as an artist, I really suggest you watch this video.
For those who have seen, reblogged, faved, here’s the link (as shown in the previous reblog) to sign the petition. Anything can happen, Adobe really needs to know that many artists are not supportive of them controlling not just the software..but the content worked on the Cloud.
Signed! Boosting the signal, I prefer to be able to buy my software.
wow as if adobe products werent already ridiculously expensive and pr much inaccessible to many artists through “legitimate” means
sighs is this real is this really happening
i doubt that they’ll go through with it if enough people scream at them, like didnt netflix try to increase their fee by two dollars or something only to get nightmare-level backlash?
get to signin
Yup, this is a real thing. I’m not super worried since Manga Studio 5 is now apparently like Photoshop/SAI/Painter all rolled into one (and hundreds of dollars cheaper). But for like photographers and animators and such… this is pretty terrible. Fuck it. :|
First of all, Australia is on point. Second of all, I think that if Photoshop doesn’t change, there will be lower cost or free Photoshop like programs that will become popular. For example, GIMP is a pretty powerful program available for Mac and PC. The only problem I have with other programs is that I have to relearn how to use them, Photoshop, for me, has the advantage of familiarity and comfort. Third of all, what happens if you don’t update your Adobe software? Because I’m still on a much older software and running CS4 since I don’t regularly take the time to upgrade it. So far, I haven’t been prompted for anything concerning a fee or whatever. Anyway, I think the worst part about this is that you’re not allowed any access whatsoever to your work unless you subscribe. And what if you don’t want a creative suite and just want Photoshop or Flash or whatever? Like, I honestly wouldn’t mind this at all if it weren’t so damn fucking expensive. $50? Like, there is seriously no subscription fee to anything that is that insane. $50 a year sounds fine, but $50 a month is just being arrogant.
10 things not to say to a women
Some girls get cramps that are similar to contractions.
It should also be noted that pain can vary from cycle to cycle, year to year, so gals aren’t just being whimpy about pain in general—sometimes it’s agonizing, sometimes it’s okay. This rule applies to other women as well.

please don’t remove so that the artist gets her credit.
I love you for this.
THIS. READ THIS. SERIOUSLY.
Thank you.
Y’all gotta go back to English class and review your understanding of characterization.

This is what Mozart actually looks like. The image was found in a radio station in Belgium. Fact - the Moors (Black people) brought Classical Music to Europe.
You’re welcome.
Not only that but when you read the REAL bios of him, he’s described as having brown skin, “negroid features” (broad, wide nose, etc) and wiry hair. There was a post going around back in February that was very enlightening.

Conversely: You really think someone would do that would do that? Go write a book, and tell lies?
Man you’ve been so sassy lately, it’s great
No, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wasn’t black. He was a tiny little VERY PALE white man. There was a black composer early in the classical music era and he is known as “The Black Mozart”. His name is Joseph Boulogne.
Thank you for having sense!
Also, people are not that dumb. Scholars have been studying Mozart forever! That’s not the sort of “secret” that could endure for centuries, you guys!
However, check out this actual portrait of Joseph Boulogne:

He was also a famous swordsman and equestrian.
Way hotter than Mozart!
