If you have the time and flexibility, you can also try out libreoffice.

Just did this on November 14th, 2024, so this is very current!

this can’t be real

He put them together at the kids table that doesn’t exist I’m fucking crying

its easy to make fun of this (and i think we should) but its also important to note the description of this new department that trump has given

[transcript: "together, these two wonderful americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies - essential to the 'save america' movement," trump wrote. "i look forward to elon and vivek making changes to the federal bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all americans."]

to be clear: trump is planning to create a new department whose purpose is literally to deregulate and defund government oversight. this will lead to corporations having greater freedom to fuck over consumers while making more money, and he is putting two billionaires in charge of it.

sure, maybe this is just a ploy to keep them quiet. giving them the illusion of power in exchange for backing him. but lets not forget all the regulations trump cut during his last term

which has directly led to the constant recalls of consumer goods and foodstuffs over the past several years. the recent e coli outbreak at mcdonalds? the boars head listeria recall? these are the products of deregulation. getting rid of laws and standards that protect consumers by making sure money hungry corporations dont cut corners.

the funny name is a smokescreen. keep your eye on these fuckers.

Also, everything she's done here is pretty reversible? Like, if she's in a situation where she needs to get as much money as she can when selling, she can repaint the place beige and pack up everything colorful before it's listed.

The recommendation for sellers is to put on a new coat of paint right before selling. Any previous paint jobs aren't gonna be relevant.

"What about future buyers?" Well I plan to die in this fucking house so first of all jot that down

When my sister sold her house in London it looked like this, and she was INUNDATED with buyers who all said they wanted it because it wasn't a beige box and therefore felt like a beautiful and completed home rather than something they would have to put money and effort into to be comfortable. Her tastes weren't to everyone's tastes, of course, but like... Her house had character. She ended up getting about £100,000 over the asking price because it started a bidding war

Here's the hastily-sensored photo of my niece in the kitchen before they left

That kitchen put a good £25K onto the value of that house. Plenty of people do, in fact, want colour

Big Leonardo vibes 🤣

Dr. Gachey with foxglove, 1890

Some of Van Gogh’s best work was done during a period of his life that he spent in a hospital being treated for his mental health problems. I could be wrong but I think Starry Night was among those.

This is consistently the case. Creators tend to do their best work when they are in a healthy place and receiving proper treatment and not being self destructive in their efforts to cope. Go figure.

All our experiences, good and bad, inform what we create, but suffering is not the price of great art. Suffering is what prevents artists from completing great art.

(I bring to mind this @tkingfisher / Ursula Verson quote about once a week <3)

Good news for California—Prop 4 has passed! 🎉

This important win means crucial funding for wildfire prevention, wildlife protection, and clean drinking water for California. The Aquarium’s 40-year journey of advocating for ocean health wouldn’t be possible without our amazing members, donors, and supporters like you. 

Let’s keep making a lasting impact—together. 💙

This is an important message.

I will never NOT reblog this.

book from the sky (tianshu) xu bing, 1989-91

I was so excited to see a copy of this in real life bc it's something I studied in art history. this is a book that was typeset and printed by hand using wooden blocks but every one of the characters was invented for the sake of the piece and does not correspond to any word in the Chinese language

yes. he invented and hand carved 4000 characters. it is a CRAZY project that resulted in an intentionally unreadable book. I love it

Xu Bing you're legendary to me !!!!

:D
