what does ilysm mean??? i like your sick memes????

i love you………..…..slime man

I just remembered that apes smile when hostile. This isn’t a happy scene. This monkey has full meter and a full screen projectile in it’s move list. This is an invitation to death.

Most creatures bare their teeth when hostile. But for apes, there’s another thing to keep in mind: they hate getting wet.

Chimpanzees seeking to gain social status will often wade into rivers and challenge their rivals to follow after; regardless of the result, the first Chimp ends up looking better due to his bravery and audacity.

That chimpanzee was literally challenging the cameraman to get wet.

Bonus fact: They hate swimming because they have such low body fat percentage they sink like a stone. That is pure muscle.

Michael Zuhorski - Eyes Make the Horizon, 2015-2018

Artist’s statement:

Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is an insular body of land. The largest freshwater system in the world defines its borders and seeps through its interior, isolating the peninsula. In November 2015 I began living near the peninsula’s north shore with the intention of photographing over a period of several years. The act of looking became insular in sympathy with my surroundings. My practice began to articulate the environment’s effect upon my state of mind and my mind’s effect upon the environment. 

These interactions were guided by the ubiquitous presence of water. I photographed the effects of water upon the peninsula and the wetlands, rivers, and lakes that cut through and enclosed it. I became fixated upon the idea of water as a body – dynamic and distinct from its surroundings yet completely tied into them. This is analogous to the way I understand myself in relation to my surroundings. Eyes Make the Horizon became a means to ask where I end and the world begins. 

Dog person? Cat person?

Nah, I'm a cow person.
