On the one hand, I have ethical qualms about outing people before they're ready.
On the other hand, the policies they're pushing are literally going to get many of us killed. So I'm kinda leaning towards "fuck those backstabbing assholes."
That (above) was posted from a satire account. But this is true:
Soo did y'all know you can get a soldering iron for 8 bucks? I didn't. I do now. I'm about to burn the shit out of myself.
it's fun to run it's fun to play, it's fun to make things out of clay it's fun to fill your car with gas
it's fun to break things made of glassss
now the burning will commence
horsey
first time doing stained glass first time using a soldering iron. It looks like shit and i could not love it more
Also i think it might be permanently attached to that table, but y'all know how it is you win some and you lose some .
the horse has been unstuck from the table and i think I'm getting better at this ^^
this post is from may 3rd so i thought I'd update it a bit.
I ended up using the glass not used in the horse to make this as my first Real stained glass thing, finished may 17th:
May 19th:

My favorite mermaid art is the one of a family photo with a mermaid mother and old sailor father and their sons are both reverse merfolk (human legs with fish heads).
This is the one!
It's by Jessica Warrick.
ancient humans were also just some guy, if you got a baby from 60,000 BC and raised him in the 21st century he’d just be another teen boy named logan who tech decks off your arm
this boy from tom björklund’s art WOULD own a minecraft creeper plushy
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok ok ok I’m so sorry but I HAVE to talk about this
there’s something so loving about what tom björklund does and just- fuck I’m foaming at the mouth here
facial reconstruction isn’t a new concept (see the Kennewick Man/Patrick Stewart incident) but it’s difficult to find people that are truly good at it! genuinely there is a big gap in this field because there just aren’t a lot of people who do it professionally!
facial reconstruction, especially from bone or bone fragments, is such a fascinating intersection of art and science, and a tremendous amount of care is put into determining what these people might have looked like.
with that said, it’s VERY easy to screw it up
configuring muscle attachments and fat distribution is genuinely *very* difficult to do, and when you do it badly, you get this (pictured above). by adding too much muscle, they gave this 600 year old man a VERY interesting jawline (notice that the bottom of the chin doesn’t match up with the bone at all!) and they *really* made him look older than he was. would you believe me if I said that he was estimated to only be 46 years old?
basically I’m just REALLY excited about Tom Björklund’s art because it’s amazing work, just from an anthropology perspective
just look at this!!!
facial reconstructions aren’t just an artsy thing that you can just say “oh, that’s cool!” to
by giving these people faces, even if they aren’t always accurate, we open the doors for the average person to connect with the past at a very human level. sure, looking at bones is cool, but looking at art of someone that lived thousands of years ago is *incredible*
looking at a picture of a boy that lived thousands of years ago and thinking “yeah, he would’ve loved Minecraft” is EXACTLY the reaction that these pieces are meant to elicit
User interfaces stop making everything bubble shaped challenge
For anyone looking to describe wind in fic! Beaufort Wind Scale. I found some of these descriptions amusing.
Update: Sorry this is so hard to read. I may type it out when I have a minute.
Further update: Source is The Complete Sailor by David Seidman which is really very helpful and well written!

my new favorite media is middle aged people finding love for the first time because it gives me hope that even if I don't find love when I'm young like everyone tells me I will it doesn't mean it isn't out there for me
“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
— Vincent Van Gogh
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”
