Stolen from reddit. The kids are alright.
@terberlo it’s in German tho - but also funny. Spotted it on the streets of Düsseldorf in the summer. #graffiti #absurd
@terberlo where is this?
@indiealexh @terberlo I'm also curious. Given it's in °F it's in the US. Looks like a number of places in Manchester NH between the overhead roadway pillar and the mill style buildings in the background.
@kamiten @terberlo likely New York or something... Based on brick building it's at least on the east coast of usa
@indiealexh @terberlo yeah definitely East Coast. Seeing a lot of graffiti on the brick building to the left in a way that i have not seen in Manchester so retracting that idea.
@terberlo Linus Sebastian does graffiti
@terberlo my man’s got some priorities

@terberlo

"...our situations are different"
Genius.

@terberlo I with I knew where this was so I could make it “too”. Hopefully they can advise me about what kind of paint to use.
@blackmarketbutter @terberlo psst no reason i just think youll think this article is cool https://crimethinc.com/2004/11/01/what-is-security-culture
What Is Security Culture?

A security culture is a set of customs shared by a community whose members may be targeted by the government, designed to minimize risk. Having a security culture in place saves everyone the troubl...

@terberlo Subject matter is OK, but the forced symmetry of the photographic shot, along with the meaningless shadow makes this into just bad conceptual art. Sometimes I feel our society has degenerated into concatenations of bad conceptual art, as each generation paints over the graffiti of the previous one..

@terberlo The kids really are alright, although for all we know the author might be in their 40s. 😄
@terberlo Honestly latex is probably their best bet, oil is far worse in cold weather
@terberlo I love this more than I can express.
@terberlo and look how bubbly the fresh grey coat is! perfection
@terberlo they really are. I’ve taught for 30 years, and the vast majority of the kids are definitely NOT what is wrong with the educational system today!!!
@johnettesnuggs @terberlo yup. My son asked his history teacher if he was aware that he was teaching a somewhat whitewashed version of an event. The teacher asked why he thought that was an issue since my son is white with blond hair (not knowing that he has 3 black brothers, so really chose the wrong kid to say that to, even though it should never have been said!). My son has decided to go on to study so that he will be able to take over that teacher's job.
@Harryshelper @terberlo I love it!!!! I taught more true history in my lit classes than the Am History teacher did at our school. She taught a very sanitized version.

@Harryshelper @johnettesnuggs @terberlo But taking over that teacher's job won't require very much teaching.

Surely he can strive to do better?

@garystark @Harryshelper @terberlo
Most of the young teachers who care are trying to do better at teaching an accurate picture of history. Unfortunately, in the South anyways, the admin/school boards in many places prefer the sanitized versions because they don’t make the very conservative students uncomfortable, and so don’t cause trouble. Our admin told our lit teachers the last two years we could not discuss any political issues at all in our classes.
@johnettesnuggs @garystark @terberlo in England as long as the work needed to get the exam questions correct is covered there's a lot more freedom about what else you teach alongside. Also as long as you put the correct answers in your exams you can also include extra without losing any grades. The last few years or more of university students have made it clear that the bad needs to be learnt, not just the 'good'.
@terberlo fuck people who paint over street art
@terberlo Also, what a poor match for the original concrete colour
@terberlo That's some profound consulting session
@terberlo My brother just sent me this — not sure where he got it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RwK4NmQZe64

@terberlo I *just* saw this on Reddit. Some of the funny comments were [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHxpE4FulKw) and [this](https://i.imgur.com/BxYEO.jpeg)

@terberlo Kilz primer is the best water based outdoor paint.
@terberlo The kids are not alright. They don’t know the difference between "to," "two," and "too."
@terberlo i love stuff like this. heres another great one
@terberlo My dad was a time served decorator and it sounded just like him. It's not.
@terberlo perspective corrected and cropped for your pleasure
@terberlo @robey if I were a graffitist this is precisely the kind of graffiti I would do, no doubt.
@terberlo so, i double clicked on this pic, and, damn if iOS wasn’t able to detect the text.
i have cut it, and here is my paste buffer:
“WHAT KIND OF PAINT ARE YOU USING TO PAINT OVER THIS? BECKUSE IF IT IS LATEX, ITS PROBABLY WAY TO COLD FOR IT, YOU WANT GOOD ADHGASION, YOU NEED LIKE AT LEAST YO- US° ANABE WANT TILL IT WARMS UP A LITTLG, IMEHN WHAT'S THE 31G RUST? LIKE, IM IN ARUSH NOW BUT OUR SITUKTIONS ARE DIFFERENT”
ok, a little off, but not bad…
@terberlo slightly off topic, I know, but I'm always disappointed that a creative city-works person with pride in their craft doesn't use multiple grey paints to replicate a faux concrete effect when printing over graffiti.
