i think it's time for bed I couldn't remember the word "foal" and i thought to myself "horse sapling"

antlers, a thing that horses have

I WAS TIRED

You and me both

@headspace-hotel​ I hope you don’t mind, but I had to try my hand at drawing a ‘horse sapling’! and @hummerous​ I added a unicorn horn to replace the antlers you mentioned :P

THE HORSE SAPLING

There’s a post that starts with this ^ image, that looks like what the grown-up would look like.

i don't like to yuck people's yum but i have to say that my least favorite thing to come from the current state of Artists on the Internet is the idea of a sketchbook as something nice and pretty and shareable. like i love me a notebook full of gorgeous art don't get me wrong but that is NOT what a sketchbook is. a sketchbook is my friend who i carry around everywhere like a purse chihuahua. it is the physical manifestation of my notes app. it is the container into which i wring my brain out. it is my therapist. and most of all it is filled with absolutely terrible sketches that should never see the light of day.

this post is making the rounds again and the amount of people saying that the pretty sketchbooks phenomenon ruined sketchbooks for them is HEARTBREAKING and i stand by my opinion that sketchbooks should be like a jar you put your OCs in. and then you shake them around in there. that's what they're for

I used to get really demoralized by all those pretty sketches (and I can imagine HOW demoralizing it is for baby artists barely starting out, when they come online and see something Like That and think they will NEVER be able to reach that kinda level for sketches, and let’s not even talk about actual art then), and you know what?

Here’s some drawings that John Singer Sargent (the man who made the portraits of Madame X, and Dame Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth, and also ‘Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose’) did, and I stop feeling bad about my stuff when I see that a world-acclaimed painter did the ‘’terrible’’ kind of sketches, too:

And last but not least, my absolute favourite, nothing will ever top this one:

Today's advice from your Goth Auntie

  • No slouching! Hydrate & take your meds.
  • Your feelings are absolutely valid. But pause and think before you act on them.
  • The Cursed Object says it needs more pillows for its fort. Keep an eye on yours so they don't vanish.

Hey did you know I keep a google drive folder with linguistics and language books  that I try to update regularly 

**UPDATE**

I have restructured the folders to make them easier to use and managed to add almost all languages requested and then some

Please let me know any further suggestions

….holy shit. You found the holy grail.

….. is this a DIFFERENT person keeping gigabytes worth of language books on google drive? Holy crap.

This. This here. Is why I love Tumblr.❤️❤️❤️

Update from OP:

UPDATE because apparently not everyone has seen this yet the new and improved version of this is a MEGA folder: https://mega.nz/folder/kQBXHKwA#-osWRLNCXAsd62ln8wKa8w

This is why I dislike looking back on the past as if everything has been constantly improving to get us to where we are now

Our cement isn't as strong as the Romans, our steel isn't as strong as Damascus steel, we cannot replicate the beauty of a Stradivari violin, we've already lost some of the technology that flew Apollo and Gemini to space

And when I live out a suitcase I have to sift through a pile of stuff like a neanderthal

this bitch empty, TWEET

Have any of you heard of the Harvard MIT Pigeon Prank?

An MIT student dressed in a black-and-white striped shirt went to the Harvard football stadium every day of one summer, blowing a whistle while scattering breadcrumbs or birdseed to coax neighborhood pigeons down onto the field. At Harvard’s opening game of the season, upon the referee’s first whistle, it’s said that hundreds of pigeons descended onto the field, causing a half-hour delay. 

Ah yes, classical conditioning put to good use
