Hello!
Truth be told I have no idea how you ended up here, but welcome. I only have the one blog, which means it gets filled up with a lot of unrelated things. There will be numerous fandoms, posts about privilege and oppression, and lots and lots of pretty pictures. Frequently school gets in the way and this Tumblr goes dormant, and then break comes along and I queue up a flood of posts, so don't follow if you like your dash to be somewhat regular.
I'm working on plans for a hobbit hole mansion that me and my friends will live in. If you have ever thought about your own dream-home, then pretty please will you tell me about it?
I don't put up pictures or much biographical information about myself, but you can call me Sakura Nicole.
Oh, and even though this blog may not always be active, I will always answer my asks, so that's open if you ever need to talk to someone or rant.
P.S. I do occasionally put up personal posts, usually under a read more. I would never ask anybody to not read something I put out there publicly, but if I know you in person could you at least pretend you didn't read it? Please and Thank You.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
the other day my music theory teacher asked my class if we were tired and the whole class yelled YES so he flipped off the light switch and said “then go to sleep” and then just left the room omfg
more recently we got to class and he said to this kid isaac “you hungry?” and he was like yeah so everyone chipped in some cash and we just ordered a pizza
he gives everyone a piece of chocolate at the beginning of every class period

Just a reminder
that your grades don’t determine your worth and really don’t matter once you get your first job after school. So please do not destroy your mental or physical well being to please a teacher who probably does not have your best interests at heart. You are still a worthy and lovely person, even if you do earn a couple low grades.
- # This is more for me than anybody else.
- # But it applies to everyone.
- # Also
- # if you are in my class and currently on Tumblr
- # I am begging you to not pull an all nighter because you were too busy procrastinating.
- # Please?
- # Now I should probably take my own advice.
- # And stop rambling.

Consider how textbooks treat Native religions as a unitary whole. The American Way describes Native American religion in these words: “These Native Americans [in the Southeast] believed that nature was filled with spirits. Each form of life, such as plants and animals, had a spirit. Earth and air held spirits too. People were never alone. They shared their lives with the spirits of nature.” Way is trying to show respect for Native American religion, but it doesn’t work. Stated flatly like this, the beliefs seem like make-believe, not the sophisticated theology of a higher civilization. Let us try a similarly succinct summary of the beliefs of many Christians today: “These Americans believed that one great male god ruled the world. Sometimes they divided him into three parts, which they called father, son, and holy ghost. They ate crackers and wine or grape juice, believing that they were eating the son’s body and drinking his blood. If they believed strongly enough, they would live on forever after they died.” Textbooks never describe Christianity this way. It’s offensive. Believers would immediately argue that such a depiction fails to convey the symbolic meaning or the spiritual satisfaction of communion.
Lies My Teacher Told Me, James Loewen (via whoistorule)
I can relate so much!
I dont think Id be comfortable enough to do this but if I have to okay ahah
funny as shit tho
Really good advice for people new to life drawing!
YEP ACCURATE
900% accurate.
This is extremely true from what I’ve heard. MY school does some life drawing with clothing, usually a student, and I plan on taking a few classes with nude models in a local gallery.
Oh my god this is perfect. That was the entirety of my Human Figure and Drawing courses right there.
Omg this is fucking amazing and so much of this is so true.
this makes me really want to take a life drawing class
and draw genitals in excruciating detail
HipstermodeI knew about this guy before tumblr did.
oh man this is
super accurate
yeah if anyone is wondering what art college figure drawing classes are like, this is it
the best thing that ever happened to me in high school was about 6 years ago our teacher never showed up for class and neither did the sub so one of the guys in the class just got up and started discussing his various theories about the island in lost and started drawing different diagrams on the board and ranting about his fan theories and everybody just went with it and raised their hands for him like he was the teacher and that was the class.

i hate it so much when adults are like “oh no, you can’t be a musician when you grow up. it’s really hard to make that happen”
well guess what it’s just as hard to get an over 98 average in school and get accepted into an ivy league college and become a brain surgeon which is somehow a more accessible career path in your mind so don’t tell me what to do with my life thank you
Wow. This…really helps me a lot right now.
we live on a floating rock in a giant space that has no real end
and you want me to memorize vocabulary words
life would be so much easier if i had to slay a dragon instead of worrying about my gpa
the fact that i have to choose between my grades and my own mental and physical health is really fucked up
THE MYTH THAT “MINORITIES” GET MORE SCHOLARSHIPS DEBUNKED SINCE 5EVER
This is something that comes up time and time again like clockwork.Here’s a”just the facts” post.
Racists LOVE this tired old saw. The problem is that it’s complete and utter bullshit, it always HAS been, and IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF REALITY.
Caucasian students receive more than three-quarters (76%) of all institutional merit-based scholarship and grant funding, even though they represent less than two-thirds (62%) of the student population.
Caucasian students are 40% more likely to win private scholarships than minority students. These statistics demonstrate that, as a whole, private sector scholarship programs tend to perpetuate historical inequities in the distribution of scholarships according to race.-The Distribution of Grants and Scholarships by Race
BUT WHAT ABOUT FINANCIAL NEED BASED SCHOLARSHIPS????
OH HEY IS THERE ANOTHER SOURCE FOR THIS?
It debunks the race myth, which claims that minority students receive more than their fair share of scholarships. The reality is that minority students are less likely to win private scholarships or receive merit-based institutional grants than Caucasian students. Among undergraduate students enrolled full-time/full-year in Bachelor’s degree programs at four-year colleges and universities, minority students represent about a third of applicants but slightly more than a quarter of private scholarship recipients. Caucasian students receive more than three-quarters (76%) of all institutional merit-based scholarship and grant funding, even though they represent less than two-thirds (62%) of the student population. Caucasian students are 40% more likely to win private scholarships than minority students.
STOP PARROTING RACIST MYTHS INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY FACT CHECKING
Scholarships Go Disproportionately To White Students
White Students More Likely To Win Scholarships
White students get Minority Scholarships
Texas State Offers Scholarship EXCLUSIVELY FOR WHITE PEOPLE
So stop saying this shit. you’re just plain fucking WRONG. Also, racist.
Senior prank. Every cup is filled with water.
wow, those are some nice diags. major props.
These cups are in perfect lines.
…must have been the band kids
I can see it being band kids.
