cavetocanvas: Henry Scott Tuke, All Hands to the Pumps, 1888-89 From the Tate Gallery: This picture shows a ship that has lost one of its sails, and is being swamped by a storm. The crew desperately pump water out of the hull. When he painted this picture Henry Scott Tuke was living aboard an old French brig anchored in Falmouth Harbour.Tuke had lived in Falmouth as a boy, and visited since, but he left London in 1885 to settle there permanently. He was encouraged to move to Cornwall by the Newlyn school of open-air painters. He focused mainly on painting the male nude in the open air, but also produced marine subjects like this.

[Society thinks] rape is not something a man chooses to do to someone; it‘s a natural phenomenon, like the rain or wind; sensible people will take umbrellas out with them and those who don‘t, will get rained on. Rape is presented as something women can avoid, like the rain, but those who don‘t, are a special breed of women apart from all others; something about them meant that nature picked them out to be raped; it wasn‘t something about the rapist that caused them to be raped, it was something about them.

This woman is AMAZING. http://herbsandhags.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/youre-not-like-rape-victim.html  (via ellielamothe)

neil-gaiman: kambriel: thescarletconspiracy: Francis Alÿs, Nightwatch, 2004.   Surveillance cameras observe a fox exploring the Tudor and Georgian rooms of the National Portrait Gallery at night. All foxes are cultured and urbane. This fox has it all figured out… No crowds and long lines, no admission fees, just art.  I have never seen three photos that made me want to write more NEVERWHERE as much as these…
