TIL a family in Georgia claimed to have passed down a song in an unknown language from the time of their enslavement; scientists identified the song as a genuine West African funeral song in the Mende language that had survived multiple transmissions from mother to daughter over multiple centuries (x)
Betcha didn't know these 3D Fidget Blooms once were treasures. A once popular toy enjoyed by those born in the 1900's, survived the test of time as a toy for fidgeting, ornamental piece, and fashion accessory.
It's difficult to find 100% handmade versions of these brilliant multifunctional toys in 2023. Luckily, I've spent the last half decade crafting these to keep this traditional handmade piece alive.
Special Features of Fidget Bloom:
- Crafted using high quality tarnish resistant brass wire
- Transforms fluidly into dozens of whimsical shapes
- Can be worn as a bracelet, hair accessory, and enjoyed as an ornament
- Most commonly used as a stim for stimming & regulation
Please consider browsing my revamped Etsy shop. I offer these in 100's of colours (including custom requests), and ship worldwide, including the US, UK, Australia, and more!

Pose Reference Grid Suits
I have two grid suits that I sometimes wear for pose reference shoots. One is accidentally the CSP model (long story) and the other is ✨branded✨ and designed with help by artists for what would be the most helpful to them. While I don't wear these suits for every shoot, they are available as a selection when doing pose requests through Patreon and commissions through Ko-fi. ♥

Anonymous asked:
don't know if you'll answer this one, but what are some of your favorite poses you've done this year? :)
Oh how fun! Just this year? Hmm Almost everything I've shot this year was either for Patron requests or themed packs so most of it hasn't been released yet. 😱 BUT Here's a few from the most recent shoot that I just did last week that made it into the Ko-Fi Special $1 Spidersona Pack. There's LOTS of really great stuff to come from this mega 7 hour shoot and there will be a more free poses from it to see really soon!

The fact that the CEO of OceanGate said "at some point, safety is just pure waste" and took some billionaires down to the grave of 1500 people whose deaths were, in large part, due to the hubris and negligence of the ultra wealthy and is stuck there is just shit you can't make up
