New research led by Kazuo Fujita of Kyoto University has found that your dog is the best wing man/woman. The researchers tested three groups of 18 dogs by putting them in rooms with their owners as well as two strangers. The owners were tasked with opening a box, and solicited help from the two other people in the room (sometimes they would help and sometimes they would refuse). After watching their owners either be rebuffed or aided, the dogs were offered food by the strangers — and were much more likely to ignore the stranger who had been unkind to their owner.

In a study, dogs refused food from people who had slighted their owners

this is the kind of groundbreaking scientific research I want to see

the signs as pieces of art from the old masters

gellyh:

Aries:
saint catherine of alexandria by raphael. divine. tired of everybody else’s shit. got a lot on her mind. fuck that wheel though coz at first I thought it was a giant tambourine. would have still accepted it.

image

Taurus:
the starry night by van gogh (use the phlegm in the back of your throat, cowards). a lot of people find this soothing to look at but I am not one of them. it makes me wanna scream and it gets my heart rate up coz it looks so chaotic. must have taken a lot of time to put down each stroke. work work work.

image

Gemini:
this one of the two statues of animas by master sculptor bernini. not a lot of story behind this one except that I feel like bernini made this face often himself when he looked at other sculptors coz none of them came even close to beating him, not even michelho imo

image

Cancer:
the fighting temeraire by william turner. I love this shit. so mysterious, calming and yet also sad in a sense. they gonna break up that goodass ship of the line?? industrialization is a bitch but at least it looks nice and annoyingly also quite powerful

image

Leo:
this ho by da vinci. she was just another face at the graham norton show until she got stolen in 1911 from the louvre and returned. don’t know what you have til it’s gone and then conveniently returned. drama queen supreme with that vagueass smile like she been knew

image

Virgo:
the nightwatch (I ain’t typing out the real name) by my boy rembrandt. joke’s on you, this scene doesn’t take place during the night but during the day. shit just became hella dark when they used a type of varnish on the painting that made it this way. what’s even more fucked up is that they cut pieces off the side to make it fit inside a building. you make the building fit the painting, assholes

image

Libra:
this one out of some 200+ water lily paintings by monet. while also impressionism like van gogh’s, this one doesn’t make me wanna scream but just makes me want to chill by the water and probs get pushed into it by some of my friends.

image

Scorpio:
this section of the last judgement by michelangelo, in particular the figure on the right. a cardinal expressed his displeasure with michelangelo’s work while he was working in the sistine chappel so michelho decided to paint said cardinal as a demon with a snake biting his dick. I live.

image

Sagittarius:
a very oldie; the nefertiti sculpt. some excellent ancient shit. love the stoic yet don’t-fuck-with-me look and the longass neck. that’s a good long neck and a good long hat. would not want to sit behind her in the theater but at the same time I do coz p sure the back of her head is also pretty to look at.

image

Capricorn:
SURPRISE it’s donatello’s david, not michelangelo’s for a change. less strong looking but all the more sassy and all the more ready to cut a bitch with that bigass sword. at least had the sense to wear boots and a hat while everybody went in nekkid.

image

Aquarius:
afterthought tiddy by michelangelo. fucker had 0 clues about tiddies because he was like super duper hella gay.

image

Pisces:
children teaching a cat to dance by comedian jan steen. I’ve seen this irl and honestly it’s even funnier then. you should definitely look up more paintings by jan steen to improve your mood. that guy was wild lemme tell ya.
