Details of Michelangelo’s masterpiece “David” (1501–1504)
#the best thing I ever learned about the David is that he made it as a big ‘fuck you’ #according to one of my art teachers #he was given a shit piece of marble that made it incredibly difficult to work with #and it was done on purpose #and so insteaded of throwing a bitch fit or saying he couldn’t work with the marble- #thus proving that he ‘wasn’t that great of an artist’ #he looked at the marble and said ‘no fuck you I will make this my masterpiece and it will be the greatest thing I’ve ever made’ #which of course pissed people off when he did just that #I’m telling ya’ll right now that Renaissance art history is the greatest thing #it’s all a bunch of divas acting overly dramatic and getting into passing contests over who was the better artist #and being commissioned by the church to create propaganda #and then using said propaganda art to add content that subtly undermines the church #I once wrote a ten page paper on that specifically #and let me tell you: the biggest divas were the sculptors (x)
No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks.

please help me! I want to dye clothes black, not just retouching old black clothes ( I saw this lovely green dress online and green is not really my thing). Is this possible? Because all the dye i see in shops are for retouching
It depends on how light the green is, and what the fiber content of the fabric is.
Helpful links!
It scared me to realize this. To know that I could treat another living thing, […], in the same way I was treated. There had been no learning, no evolution. There had been simply programming. And then I thought, maybe seeing for myself means something, makes a difference. Maybe this insight alone is like the ape-to-man chart they show you in school. Maybe I was slumped over before, dragging my knuckles. But now, right now, maybe I am just a little more upright. This was my hope.
