A lot of people already condemn and calling this teacher a bitch/monster on the comment/reblog, not knowing the whole story. It was actually the TEACHER who drew the beautiful art on the blackboard, and the teacher is a HE, he’s an accomplished artist who was trying to teach his students about the beauty of art and however changing it is. He will draw any arts by request from his students, the students will take some pictures, and then he erases it from the board, and make new ones. He’s not a monster. He’s actually trying to spark the students’ interest in art. Funny how a simple pic without context enrages people – and the people refusing to look beyond the story.

You can follow his artworks on Twitter @hamacream where he always posts/tweet his arts.

Here are some samples of his artwork:

It’s awsome I wish I had a teacher like that

Thank you for the context I feel much better now.

Glad to see my lifelong disinterest in golf is paying off

let me tell you about golf

i grew up in a little desert valley called Tucson, Arizona, where it only rains 2 inches a year on average. the majority of the city’s water is pumped from an underground aquifer, which took millions of years to fill. one of the biggest conservation efforts in our city was for water, naturally, and i spent a lot of time learning about low flow toilets and 5 minute showers. i learned that filling your sink basin and washing your dishes in that water is less costly than running the tap. i learned that it only takes 2 days without water on the desert for someone to die

the city was sinking as the aquifer drained. neighborhoods fell into flood zones that didnt exist 10 years ago

there’s a road called Golf Links in the city and it is lined with golf courses. miles of green grass where grass doesn’t grow, in a valley where it doesn’t rain. why? because the rich white retirees who moved there to stop the aching in their joints decided they should also get to play golf. meanwhile our public schools taught small children like me that taking long showers would kill the world

let the golf industry burn

There are 15,500+ golf courses in the United States alone. 

Each one consumes ~312,000 gallons of water per day.

That consumption is equivalent to 55+ million humans per day in the United States… roughly 1/6 the entire population.

We simply cannot sustain this frivolity, especially for something 99% of us will never use.

Destroy golf courses and plant wild grasses and butterfly bushes in their place.

“I want to speak to a manager,” the middle-aged woman said in her stern I-used-to-be-a-soccer-mom-ten-years-ago voice, looking down at me over the top of her Gucci reading glasses.

A wicked grin split across my face and the gates of Hell opened up behind me, releasing a gust of hot wind that whipped my apron around my body and forced the woman to shield her face. Demons came forth, dancing around in flames with songs of, “She wants to speak to a manager. Did you hear that? She wants to speak to a manager!” before erupting into earsplitting shrieks of laughter, none louder than my own cackling.

I took in the woman’s look of utter horror before my eyes rolled back into my head and I growled,

“I am the manager.”

a thing for one of my favorite posts on this site

HEY LOOKIE HERE

Hey everyone, this is Esh here with a thing I want to show you all. Well, more like tell you.

My mom and I are wanting and are planning to start up our own business. But not just any kind of business: An LGBTQA+ Lounge! So far, we’ve planned out what we want to do with this. Allow me to list off the possibilities given the options of where we can set up shop.

This place shall provide:

  • A safe shelter for LGBTQA+ members and straight allies and basically anyone who isn’t an oppressive asshole.
  • This will mostly be a hangout spot with coffee and maybe some other treats to snack on as you chill.
  • Possible a meeting room you can book if you want to plan a private meeting for something with your friends.
  • Art and merchandise decorating the place that you can buy if it strikes your fancy.
  • Art commissions (from me!) should you wish to request a piece.
  • Possible apartments for those seeking shelter from toxic environments and need a place to stay before they get back to their feet.
  • A cute puppy that can serve as emotional support because she is a smol, loveable bean that will roam around the establishment every once in a while.
  • Possible TVs playing shows. You can request a show if you wish for us to play it on a certain day.
  • This is also a kind of retail store with a lounge area, and we will sell LGBTQA+ merchandise. My mom knows how to make jewelry and I can make art (I’m also learning to sew, so maybe some clothing will be available, too!)
  • A possible future non-alcoholic bar with juices, smoothies, and other non-alcoholic drinks.
  • Event planning, like a Pride Parade for the area, small festivals, bake offs, and more!

Now, we’ve planned all this out. We have a few places in mind to set up shop. What we need to work out is getting the Grants and funds for this. We’re figuring this out, but I’m also asking for your help because I feel that this should be a team effort! My town doesn’t have much representation and we want to change that with this shop.

So any advice or tips will be appreciated! And once we get it all planned, I may also set up a GoFundMe page for this, too. I’ll be sure to keep you all updated if you want.

Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day, peeps!
