listening to music with headphones is so awesome especially when it shoots straight into your brain and you can pick out all its little layers like sandwich ingredients

I'm never really here anymore, but I thought I'd drop this just in case anyone wants to keep up with what's goin' on. I have a newsletter that goes out bi-annually that highlights my recent projects, future projects, art & writing resources, and good old fashioned book recs! The next issue goes out at the end of July.

People describe shoebill storks as being scary or ugly birds and always use one image to make their point. When in every other photo they look like this

So... I just released the first five Saturn Roller Ball pens. This design is kinda my baby. It's my design, and I made every single part (minus the refill) by hand on each pen.
The wide metal band on the body?
It spins. It's a fidget. And a nearly silent one, at that.
The description on my website took me about two hours to write, and I know most people on social media don't click links so, I'm gonna copy paste it here, because thank you Tumblr for holding space for lots of words. 😂
Note: This is way fancier than my usual writing, but I've been working on these pens for two months plus, so they got fancy words.

Since July is Disability Pride Month
(as opposed to every other month when we're all demure about disability rights /gentle sarcasm)
I wanted to highlight one of my favorite artists: Liberal Jane.
Ok, this is really bad for people that don't live in the Unites States or Europe. Why? I'll explain.
Right now in Twitter, everyone is talking about coming back to Tumblr again and become a refugee, but one thing that Twitter does right and Tumblr is still on pampers is spreading news about other countries.
I know that when the news is a huge thing you get to know a little bit about it here in Tumblr, but at least for me, a Mexican girl who lives in Guadalajara, I need to know what's happening in my community and I get to see less than nothing in here.
Twitter, in other hand, let's me see what's happening in my neighborhood, my city, my state and the other states in my country with one simple thing: Trends by location.
I don't know if that's a thing you can do here in Tumblr, but as the elections coming next year to Mexico, I'd like to be informed about what's happening in my country and the candidates.
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is we have to make some noise so Elon Musk stop this madness, and to my fellow mexican and latin friends, start posting more about your communities here in Tumblr, in your own language. I had to write this in English because I know it won't spread enough if I do it in Spanish, but we have to me more active in here if we want to be informed about what's going on in our countries.
Upper pitcher plants.
Nepenthes Eymae is a colorful plant. very amazing species and beautiful to the eye! Central Sulawesi endemic species. is in the wild in a mossy forest above 1000m.
you know what pisses me off? you can be physically terminally ill but never mentally terminally ill. you're also never allowed to be bone dead tired of fighting to continue living.
her eyes were the sickly green of the sky before a tornado, and to his horror he discovered she could throw cows around just as easily

all of our trobles seem so small from up here
I really wish people would stop saying "can't believe I'm posting klance in 2023". like y'all there isn't a deadline to stop liking things. Its not cringe to maintain an interest in something for longer than a calendar year. People have been saying this about klance since literally 2019. Next year you'll discover you still like klance and you'll be saying "can't believe I'm posting klance in 2024". How about just accept that it's ok to like things even if you think it isn't popular to like it anymore. You don't need to soften every post by apologizing for having interests this is your blog not your parents house
Good for this person. This is exactly what you do. Screw the job.
I had a job that made me work an all nighter, 30 hours straight, over Thanksgiving. I resigned that Monday and it was one of the most satisfying decisions I’ve ever made.

Please pay attention to all the manipulation tactics this boss uses, because they’re pulling out every trick in the book.
- “I’m not your boss, I’m your friend”
- “Other people will be hurt by this and it’s your fault and I’m going to tell them all that”
- Mocking language
- Jobs are important too
- “Be a team player”
- “We’re your family too”
- Talking as if this is a thing you must do
- “We all make sacrifices”
- Undermining your authority
- “You caused all of this, really”
- Accusing you of being “unprofessional”
- “Look at the money you cost us”
- “Just laugh it off and come back to work”
This is like a 101 course in how employers use guilt trips to coerce you into putting up with their bullshit. This is precisely why you should never trust those employers who insist that they’re “like a family.” They are not. It’s just a ruse so that your boss can neg you into putting your job ahead of your actual life.
Ok this is satisfying and all but he lost me when she *doubled* his rate for *no reason.*
What possible motivation would the business manager have for that.
This is a fable.
@vocifersaurus … the business manager’s motivation is pretty clear, in my reading. From her POV, it went thusly:
- This company entered into a contract with us.
- This company royally fucked up.
- This company tried to force their one qualified employee to sacrifice his PTO to fix their screw-up.
- The one qualified employee quit.
- They didn’t suck it up and take him back, but let the situation get WAY WORSE.
- This has negatively affected MY company quite significantly.
- They then tried to throw the employee under the bus for the whole mess.
- The employee is still willing to do the work, getting my company out of trouble, but wants to get fucking paid what he’s worth, which is not unreasonable.
- I now have a loophole by which I can get my company out of trouble while shafting the other company VERY COMPREHENSIVELY.
- I am at this point going to double the price PURELY TO PUNISH THEM.
- Fuck those guys.
I’d have done the exact same thing, given the opportunity.
Because fuck those guys.
knowing enough about ships to be able to tell when a movie tall ship set is Bad is so distracting like when they're all standing on a deck that's way too big & empty and there aren't nearly enough ropes or curves or anything. like unfortunately ships are characters to me so it's like the same uncanniness as if they put a cardboard cutout instead of a guy
This, and forever being annoyed by cheesy bad art that shows a ship with every inch of canvas set (because that's the only reference picture the artist has ever seen) either 2 feet away from a beach/a lee shore, or sailing during a violent storm like that.
Tragically, the whole crew died instantly before they could shorten sail.
This type of jarring non-realism is why I can't watch 9-1-1.
Octopuses can fit through any gap larger than their beak.
What a beautiful octopus.
Foxes are my favorite land animal and octopi are my favourite aquatic ones, so Thank You!
That’s the same animal, octopodes are just really fluffy when dry and foctopodes are uhhhhh tebtavle
