I’m gonna need a source on that because I saw one or two and they sure looked like, ya know
I could see it
She made close ups of flowers, mostly things like poppies, calla lillies, and irises. She said that the reason she made them so close up was that people tend to disregard flowers at first. But when they actually take the time to notice them, they brush their petals, smell them, bring them close to their face. In painting such large scale images of flowers, she wished to convey this ideal.
A lot of men in the 20s and 30s saw these paintings and immediately put a sexual connotation to them despite her vigorously denying any sort of Freudian connotation. She wrote a letter to her friend Mable Dodge Luhan in hope that she could write something about her that would counter the erotic associations with her work.
“I thought you could write something about me that men can’t – What I want written – I do not know – I have no definite idea of what it should be. – but a woman who has lived many things and who sees lines and colors as an expression of living – might say something that a man can’t – I feel there is something unexplored about woman that only a woman can explore – Men have done all they can do about it. Does that mean anything to you – or doesn’t it?”
—Georgia O’Keeffe, In a letter to Mabel Dodge Luhan, in 1925
Nah, Georgia O’Keefe is the Freud of the art world
Really? Why’s that?
Painted flowers in ways that make them intentionally resemble genitalia
Yikes. Okay, yep, she’s the Art Freud.
I took art history class and you’d be surprised how many artist stuffed as many sexual innuendos as they possibly could in their work. O’Keefe was quite tame compared to most, belive me.
That’s really gross I’d rather remain blissfully ignorant lol
But… O’Keefe hated that people kept interpreting her flowers as genitalia. She just wanted to paint flowers. They got interpreted as sexual because she was a woman painter in a time where woman painters had to paint things explicitly “feminine.”
Shes also Christian so its hard for me to belive that she would paint anything with sexual undertones for the heck of it
if youve never physically been in the presence of like, a real live wolf, and you probably wont get the chance to, heres some stuff about them you should know
a wolf’s fur is so unbelievably thick that you can get like, your whole hand into it while petting. and then you can keep going
wolves are a lot bigger than you think they are. think about how big you think a wolf is then just like double that
they dont really smell like dog but they DO smell and youre not going to be able to figure out if its a good smell or not
a wolf really wants to lick the inside of your mouth. he will not stop trying to lick the inside of your mouth at any cost, and generally speaking you need to press your lips together kind of tightly when he approaches your face so that he doesnt worm his damn tongue in there to give you what he thinks is an appropriate greeting
a wolf doesnt really want to look at you while you pet him but he wants you to pet him. hes embarrassed
if a grown ass wolf decides to lay down on you, you just have to deal with it and thats your life now
young wolves, much like young dogs, are overwhelmingly goofy and stupid. a teenage wolf will see your very fragile, very human shoulder and go “i can probably step on that with my full weight” and then he will do it
letting a wolf eat out of your hand is actually not remotely frightening, and youll want to do it all day
hey guys, let me be really clear
you should not own a wolf as a pet. you should not even own a wolfdog as a pet, because let’s be real, if you’re on tumblr you probably don’t have the resources to care for it properly.
i safely interacted with captive-bred wolves in sanctuary at the colorado wolf center in divide, CO. there were strict safety rules and guidelines. handlers these wolves knew accompanied my group into the enclosures and watched for any agitation in the animals.
wolves aren’t mean or dangerous, but they are wild animals and they’re not to be fucked with or kept as companion animals.
if you have commented “omg i want one” on this post i am literally begging you not to acquire a wolf and keep it as a pet. because that’s stupid and dangerous—for you AND the animal.

Please, PLEASE do not make a baking soda paste and leave it on your face for more than a minutes!!!! It can be used as a scrub but it can burn your skin if its left there!!! Bout to murder these idiots on pinterest!!
I don’t see how it’s so incomprehensible to some people that lots of adults do not want to see porn.
It absolutely isn’t a problem that you don’t want to see it.the problem arises however when in your desire to not see it, that you prevent people who do want to see it from enjoying it.
No one should be enjoying an industry that exploits women and children and changes the brains of the people who view it and damages everyone involved. It’s evil and it should be put out of business for everyone’s good.
Also, tumblr allows minors. There shouldn’t be any porn on a site shared with minors.
If people don’t like that, tough. They can go somewhere else.
Porn apologist really think they got the moral high ground here
Marie Wilcox, a member of the Wukchumni tribe, wrote an entire dictionary on the language of her people.
Marie Wilcox has made preserving the Wukchumni language her mission. She has spent more than seven years working on the dictionary. The language is now being taught to tribe members at a local career centre, yet the language still struggles to gain traction and move beyond an elementary level. Through her hard work, Marie hopes that her dictionary will support the revitalisation of the Wukchumni language for future generations.
Now, Marie and her daughter teach weekly Wukchumni language classes to members of their tribe to help keep the language revitalised.
It seems like such a strange and nearly impossible concept, but by the year of 2100 most languages will be lost.
The story of Marie can be seen in a short documentary film ‘Marie’s Dictionary’, from the Global Oneness Project. : [x]
I’d rather remain blissfully ignorant lol
