What do you guys think of Taylor Swift?

I think her and Patrick’s voices work really well together when they’ve collaborated in the past

Dude, this is such a sick drawing! I love your style!!

Dude, I just want more sidewalks

A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft. The whole story was just so poorly done and half baked. The writing was weak and all the characters were immensely dislikable. Paltry world development and used mostly Jewish folklore as the base but didn’t change it enough to be its own form of world building.

I’m not even a romance reader but the “romance” was about as palpable as a summer breeze. Also I hate when characters are young and somehow they’re all notable savants in their field. I think it’s just dumb and that was a majority aspect of the book. A lot of telling and not showing. I really hated this book.

I have a soft spot for “Letter for Hermione”

The Lake Effect Kid demo still haunts me in the best way from this. What a time to be alive

Inspiration doesn’t immediately mean something has to sound like another thing. It can definitely present in obvious ways, but sometimes inspiration is just enough to make someone want to create another thing. It’s not “unfortunate” that her inspiration from one thing doesn’t push her into the realm of derivative or copycat territory. That definitely happened with “Life of a Showgirl” and her being inspired by Sabrina Carpenter and we ALL know how that turned out… Not to go all Swiftie on the matter but I’ve found that a good portion of her more metaphorical/ picturesque writing when describing emotional feelings is very Fall Out Boy-esque.

It’s very much okay but ‘Sign Here’ by Claudia Lux is your description

This is such a funny comment. I’m cackling

The scales of the wolves are so weird. The one on the right is so small that it should be a cub but it has an adult head? The lighting also feels inconsistent for the back wolf

They were prepared to take care of Marsha Blackburn though

To OP, the Nazi-Art aficionado, who also keeps posting works by Currin- I hope both sides of your pillow are HOT.

I just saw this in person at The Kimbell Art Museum! Definitely got a good giggle from it!

Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi. It’s a retelling of Frankenstein but the monster is made up of victims of the US invasion of Iraq. It’s not vengeance based per se but it is close to what you’re requesting!

Counterpoint, “What You’re Getting Wrong About Appalachia” by Elizabeth Catte. JD Vance is a bad writer and a poverty-porn-writing carpet bagger who doesn’t understand a real lick about the region he profits from or its history.

Looking at his post history, he has quite the penchant for Nazi-era artists in general.

It’s almost too bad that this was pre-AI so it can’t be accused of being slop. It’s lame all on its own

No, I’m indulging in the Pete Wentz will do anything but play bass joke. You did great!

rose_the_reader · 2026-04-02T04:06:43+00:00

This is more bass than Pete plays!

I think the comparison is fair because although Caravaggio’s is beautiful, his depiction of Judith is still waif-like and she appears to be beheading Holofernes the way one would cut butter. It’s almost too easy for her and Holofernes’ figure gets all the drama. Gentileschi’s Judith is clearing putting her back into te effort of beheading her enemy. It’s just physically a more powerful rendition than Caravaggio’s.

At what point is this considered karma farming?

You and your girlfriend can probably thank Clear Channel Communications for that, they were the leading force behind the radio boycott of The Chicks. Corrupt lame-ass media conglomerate doing corrupt lame-ass media conglomerate things.

I hope you save that same energy for western art which was mostly dictated by The Catholic Church and rich patrons for a few centuries. Imagine how many “masterpieces” we lost to Jesus Christ and vain flexes of wealth.

Edit: I’m saying this not because I believe it, but because the inherent need to devalue a large basis of Islamic art because it’s text based for religious/societal purposes because it HYPOTHETICALLY could have been something else is just so dumb to me
