This community is dedicated to sharing, discussing, and exploring vintage advertisements that pushed the boundaries of social norms, taste, and decency. Focusing on ads from the early-to-mid 20th century, the group showcases the playful, provocative, and sometimes controversial side of marketing from a bygone era. Members are encouraged to post old print ads, TV commercials, and other marketing materials that feature risqué themes, from subtle innuendo to overtly suggestive content, and to engage in thoughtful discussion about how these ads reflect the social and cultural attitudes of their time. The group also explores the changing perceptions of sex, gender roles, and ethics in advertising.
This group is for those with an appreciation for the history of advertising and the ways in which media has used shock, humour, and allure to capture attention.
Note: Respectful discussion is encouraged, and members are reminded to keep the focus on historical context and critique rather than sensationalism

[email protected] - For the abolition of work
For the abolition of work. Yes really, abolish work! Not "reform work" but the destruction of work as a separate field of human activity.
> To save the world, we're going to have to stop working! — David Graeber
> A strange delusion possesses the working classes of the nations where capitalist civilization holds its sway. ...the love of work... Instead of opposing this mental aberration, the priests, the economists, and the moralists have cast a sacred halo over work. — Paul Lafargue
> In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic. — Karl Marx
> In the glorification of 'work', in the unwearied talk of the 'blessing of work', I see the same covert idea as in the praise of useful impersonal actions: that of fear of everything individual. — Friedrich Nietzsche
> If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it all to themselves. — Lane Kirkland
> The bottom line is simple: all of us deserve to make the most of our potential as we see fit, to be the masters of our own destinies. Being forced to sell these things away to survive is tragic and humiliating. We don’t have to live like this. ― CrimethInc

[email protected] - Cool friends fighting aliens
Animorphs.
Cool friends fighting aliens...more accurately, the pariah of a fascist civilization, minutes before being eaten alive in front of said "ccol friends" persuades and then bioengineers human child soldiers to facilitate an end to an ill-conceived and failing war now reduced to unilaterally exterminating a parasitic, physically disabled species, itself undergoing a violent civil rights movement on their own planet based on their self-recognized flaws, struggling to realize its place in a universe where godlike beings exist and decide not to offer remedy(rules of the god game) and spectate while the parasites overwhelm all vulnerable species in the known universe.
The child soldiers agree to resist the parasites, but at least a minority of them believe genocide is the wrong answer. After being physically and emotionally tortured, shot, repeatedly disemboweled and having their limbs hacked or bitten off by hosts of the parasitic species, however, all of the child soldiers begin taking violent, morally devastating actions that end their lives as they know them.

[email protected] - Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills
What is Inktober?
Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills. Every day, there's a prompt which everyone will draw with either ink on paper or digital inking
From the main site:
Jake Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year.
What to do
The main two ways to participate are to draw daily like a marathon or every second day like a semi-marathon. The operative word being marathon. It doesn't have to be your best piece of art or even something you're proud of in any way. As the creator of this community, I know quite a bit of what I create will be absolute trash. I'm ok with this though.
This community
A daily post will be pinned at the top to round up each days work. One may either make a post to the community, or comment on the pinned post.
Want to mod?
Feel free to contact me if you're up to help mod this community.
Rules
-
Be kind Constructive criticism at most. This is a strictly positive community meant to keep a habit for a period of time. If you don't enjoy someones art and can't phrase any advice in a supportive way don't speak up. This will be strongly enforced with bans if need be. A dictatorship of kindness. You may, however, ignore this rule for any post made by @[email protected]. Please, feel free to insult me so terribly that I'll think about your takedown on my deathbed
-
No AI-Generated work
-
Submissions must meet the theme of this community Whether on paper or digital the creation must be inked. This means black and white with an ink pen or ink pen digital brush
