Hey, my name is Page.
I'm 21 agender, who has no clue what to do in life; and is simply floating through it till I find something I can anchor myself to.
I'm currently English and American Literature at Keele University
‘Beyonce covered Sex On Fire at glastonbury right?’ ‘She made the song a lot better. She made me masturbate to my own song.“ - Caleb Followill (from Kings of Leon)
Ever since that one guy I was playing D&D with called me a “petulant whore”, it’s been the preferred pet name by my inner circle. We call each other that over everything. Yelling at each other over games, greeting each other in the morning, complimenting each other’s accomplishments.
And the guy who originally called me that just found out and wrote me a very long, angry e-mail about how I was supposed to be insulted, and how dare I turn his words around like that.
I’ve been laughing over this for hours. Dude, get a grip.
Men so fragile.
this is the best reaction to casual misogyny ever, I want to high five OP

PAINT RESTORATION OF MESMERIZING
I saw this on Twitter. He’s using acetone, but a cellulose ether has been added to make it into a gel (probably Klucel—this entire gel mixture is sometimes just called Klucel by restorers, but Klucel is specifically the stuff that makes the gel).
Normally, acetone is too volatile for restoration, but when it’s a gel, it becomes very stable and a) stays on top of the porous surface of the painting, and b) won’t evaporate. So it can eat up the varnish.
It looks scary, but acetone has no effect on oils, and jelly acetone is even less interactive with the surface of the paint or canvas.
I was white knuckling it for a second going WHAT SHIT IS HE PUTTING ON THAT PAINTING but then MAGIC HAPPENED
