The Mantis Shrimp

Thinking back to the good early days before my skin grew back when people could shake their heads at me and say "masks are a government conspiracy" and instead of navigating the bullshit like a normal person I could pull mine down and say "I have chemical burns on my face"

personally i think more stories in general would benefit from a runaway bride character. the marriage in question can be a literal or metaphorical one, but crucially they need to be fleeing from being shackled to a traditional hegemonic social ideal that they're expected to celebrate the opportunity to continue proliferating due to romanticised misconceptions and obfuscations of what it entails.

and whatever they're fleeing towards need not necessarily be any better - only willing to take advantage of their desperation

yknow how the greener parts of apple skin are tan lines from where leaves and branches obscure the sun? I’m surprised I’ve never seen anyone utilize that for printmaking

if someone was dedicated enough, they would totally recreate bad apple using this method on apples

Clearly the orange is the better value.

This is the most technically proficient pottery throwing I've ever seen. The economy of motion? Literally everything in one pull, one squeeze. Absolutely no even minor touch ups required. This shit is like watching a skilled magician even as someone who knows how to throw on the wheel. I am watching this the way that someone who is great at a few card tricks watches Penn and Teller.

If anyone is looking, his name is Vladik Oladik

World heritage post

Sometimes I love the internet, actually. Incomprehensibly huge place but also so small. Saw a video on Instagram where Crayola was announcing they’re coming out with a box with some limited edition previously retired colors, including Dandelion. This video had hundreds of comments and almost all of them where “omg where’s the dandelion crayon girl she’s going to be so happy” and it was such an unimportant thing, but it was just cute

The tags on this post are also full of people happy for the dandelion crayon girl 🥹
