Time to get angry with the Republicans. Not just Trump anymore.
you finally confess your attraction to the hot priest and he's like "oh darling, I thought you'd never ask" and proceeds to bite your neck and turn you into another catholic priest
#hm. that sounds wrong but i dont know enough about catholics to say for sure [via @kirtlandswarbler]
hate it when pets learn words, my dog flips out when he hears "greenie" so we had to start saying "G word" but now he knows G word so we have to say shit like "are we out of emerald indulgences"

I want to tell a story to the artists and would-be artists out there.
When I was 19, I made a large oil painting of the nerd I would eventually marry. I poured all my attention and care into this painting. It's the only art I have from back then that still holds up as a work I'm proud of today.
I entered it into a judged show at the local art center. It got an honorable mention. I went to see the show with my beloved model. One of the judges came up to talk to me, and highlighted that all the judges really liked the painting. It would have placed, except, you see, the feet were incorrect. They were too wide and short, and if I just studied a bit more anatomy-
I called over my future wife, and asked her to take off her shoe. Being already very used to humoring me, she did. The judge looked at her very short, very wide little foot. Exactly as I'd lovingly rendered it. I would never edit her appearance in any way.
The judge looked me in the eye, and to his credit, he really looked like he meant it when he said "Oh I'm so sorry."
Anyways the moral of the story is that all of those anatomy books that teach you proportions are either showing you averages, or a very specific idea of an idealized body. Actual bodies are much more varied than that.
So don't forget to draw from observation, and remember that humans aren't mass produced mannequins. Delight in our variation. Because it's supposed to be there.
Allright if 20,000 people are going to post a story about a painting I did of my wife, then I am going to post the painting itself.
For those calling for justice, the same painting won a contest at my college (my university professor had met my model), and the university bought it from me and hung it up there for over a decade, square little feet and all. Then, the library underwent renovations and a librarian I am thankful for forever went through heroic measures to track me down again even though I'd gotten married and changed my name, and offered it back to me. And now it hangs in our house even though my wife doesn't ordinarily want to look at paintings of herself and I don't normally want to look at paintings I made. We both have a soft spot for this one.
Passing on an important conversation I had with a family member the other day
Them: Gay people make me uncomfortable.
Me: (Queer, bluescreening) Uhhhhhhh
Them: I ean, I don't mind gay people, I just don't like the ones that are all in your face about it.
Me: What do you mean
Them: : I mean, like. It's fine if you're gay, you can be gay, that's not something you can change- there's just a time and a place, you know? You shouldn't be making it everyone else's business
Me: I don't know what you mean. Can you give me an example?
Them: Uhhhhh.
Them: Okay, so I was at a bar with my buddy a while back, right? And this gay person comes up to me, right, and they start flirting
Them: And I tell them, you know, I'm straight, and I'm married, right?
Me: Right
Them: And like. They kinda laugh it off, but they keep doing it. Making these comments, being all flamboyant, saying I have a nice ass, trying to give me their number in case I wanna "switch teams".
Them: And I'm sitting there like... hey, no problem with your whole lifestyle and all, but I told you I'm not interested. I'm married.
Them: That kinda thing. The whole "out and proud, cant shut me down" thing
Them: Like, leave that shit at home
Me:
Me: So it's like when a pretty lady is at a bar, and some guy comes over and won't leave her alone?
Them: Yeah
Me:
Me: So that's not a gay people thing, that's just flat-out sexual harassment
Them: what
Me: Your problem isn't gay people, it's assholes
Them:
Them: Well that sure would have sounded better, huh
New Mexico Footprints are Oldest Sign of Humans in Americas
Fossil footprints date back to between 21,000 and 23,000 years ago, upending previous theory that humans reached continent later.
New research confirms that fossil human footprints in New Mexico are probably the oldest direct evidence of human presence in the Americas, a finding that upends what many archaeologists thought they knew.
The footprints were discovered at the edge of an ancient lakebed in White Sands national park and date back to between 21,000 and 23,000 years ago, according to research published on Thursday in the journal Science.
The estimated age of the footprints was first reported in Science in 2021, but some researchers raised concerns about the dates. Questions focused on whether seeds of aquatic plants used for the original dating may have absorbed ancient carbon from the lake ā which could, in theory, throw off radiocarbon dating by thousands of years.
The new study presents two additional lines of evidence for the older date range. It uses two entirely different materials found at the site, ancient conifer pollen and quartz grains.
The reported age of the footprints challenges the once conventional wisdom that humans did not reach the Americas until a few thousand years before rising sea levels covered the Bering land bridge between Russia and Alaska, perhaps about 15,000 years ago.
āThis is a subject thatās always been controversial because itās so significant ā itās about how we understand the last chapter of the peopling of the world,ā said Thomas Urban, an archaeological scientist at Cornell University, who was involved in the 2021 study but not the new one.
Thomas Stafford, an independent archaeological geologist in Albuquerque, New Mexico, who was not involved in the study, said he āwas a bit skeptical beforeā but now is convinced.
The new study isolated about 75,000 grains of pure pollen from the same sedimentary layer that contained the footprints.
āDating pollen is arduous and nail-biting,ā said Kathleen Springer, a research geologist at the US Geological Survey and a co-author of the new paper.
Ancient footprints of any kind can provide archaeologists with a snapshot of a moment in time. While other archeological sites in the Americas point to similar date ranges ā including pendants carved from giant ground sloth remains in Brazil ā scientists still question whether such materials really indicate human presence.
āWhite Sands is unique because thereās no question these footprints were left by people, itās not ambiguous,ā said Jennifer Raff, an anthropological geneticist at the University of Kansas, who was not involved in the study.
Genuinely canāt stand the new favouritism towards video format. You want me to spend a whole two minutes listening to someone say out loud a paragraph I could read in 20 seconds?
(This is about tiktok. I hate tiktok.)
Itās not just tiktok, itās everything. Iām tired of clicking on news articles and instead finding itās a video I have to watch. Iām tired of being sent to a video when I want to learn about a new thing instead of an article I can skim in less than a minute. You mean you want me to sit through an entire video, listening for the one kernel of information thatās buried in there that Iām interested in? Nah, man, life is too short to waste it like that. I donāt know why any of you like videos lmao.
Thank god someone said it holy fuck!!! I hate video formats!! Hate hate hate!
And it is legitimately impossible to find information on certain subjects in non-video format. āInternet loreā subjects are almost exclusively the domain of videos. Minecraft redstone tutorials? Fuck you, hereās a video.
Watching things is for some reason something I cannot get my brain to do. I donāt watch tv or movies because passively looking at a screen is not engaging enough and I get distracted, and I canāt just glance backward like you can with a book.
This is an accessibility issue. Iāve been required to watch films for classes before and had to break them up over multiple days, listen to their audio while playing minecraft or some other activity to occupy my hands, or just straight up bullshit using wikipedia summaries and stuff.
You know how when little kids try to explain something to you, they stop and start their sentences over and take forever to finish the explanation? Thatās what video format is like for me. Itās just SO SLOW and takes FOREVER to get to the point compared to reading, and if I miss something or get distracted, I have to rewind the video and try to go back and catch it again.
And I canāt quickly, visually skim a video to see if it will have the information I need. If I hit skip, I might miss something important. I canāt go through the subheadings like I can in a written piece of text. There might BE an outline with subheadings for the video, but skipping forward might make me miss the handful of frames theyāre displayed in. I canāt screenshot a sentence in a video so I can look at it later when I need it.
I also just process less when iām watching a video. If Iām not doing something else while listening to the audio, Iāll miss a LOT. Information in video format just feels more ephemeral in my brain.
Someone sent me a video essay about the history of 2b2t (the minecraft server) but I havenāt watched it yet even though iām really interested in it.
My heart breaks at the thought of all the information out there that I canāt crack my way into because the only way itās preserved anywhere is in video format
The sheer number of times the comment section has been my savior, summing up the video in a few bullets- š
STOP NEEDLESSLY LONG VIDEOS
AND START JUST-TEXT ALTERNATIVES FOR INFORMATION-GIVING please
