Very curious doggo
Reminder that puffins are extremely social and like to fit in with their friends, so they will adopt mannerisms and interests of the group. So there is a good chance this little guy is trying to be friends with the photographer by showing his interest in the camera.
TIL photographers are a lot like puffins, cuz we also make friends by showing interest in your camera XD
Reminds me of the time researchers were trying to get puffins to land in a specific area so the put decoys up to draw them in but the decoys only had 1 leg and
this is so fucking cute
“This is my favorite axe. I’ve been using it for so long I had to replace the handle ten times and the blade twice.”
Fun family story: when my aunt was marrying her wife everyone was really excited but also dreading it because my aunt is known for her insanely long speeches so everyone knew her vows would be like 9 hours long so when it came time for her to say her vows she had a shit ton of cue cards in her hands and even her wife started groaning and my aunt took a deep inhale and then unravelled all the cue cards which were taped together and they all just read ‘HOT DAMN’ in giant letters and those were my aunts vows.
And now since I officially have permission to use this photo
GET FUCKED
I'm reading Anne of Green Gables for the first time and nobody told me that the writing style was so funny.

Why is Orlok missing half of his hair but has a big mustache? It's because of being in the coffin? His head is all rotten, eww
Count Orlok is not missing half of his hair. That was the hairstyle he had when he was alive.
Alongside the moustache, it’s a historical Slavic look, more associated with the Ukrainian Cossacks, but was used throughout the region, including Hungary (to which Transylvania belonged to, at the time). Prothestic designer David White discussed this in interviews, and revealed this was always Robert Eggers vision for his Orlok: “Robert’s intention from day one was to use the mustache and the fall up. He provided me with a series of mood boards which have sort of mid-seventeenth century illustrations of noblemen from, you know, Europe. And a lot of them had that kind of look—that kind of Cossack-inspired look, and that began that journey.”
Count Orlok’s look was created by Eggers, David White and Bill Skarsgård: “Robert put a board together which showed me illustrations of 17th-century noblemen and Cossack-inspired images”, David White was more about the decay of the character (he conducted a research on how human bodies decompose). Then, Bill gave the character its physically; he’s the template for Count Orlok’s face and body, as I’ve talked about in another ask. Eggers actually wanted the moustache to be bigger, but Bill liked this one best. He also lost weight for the role. Bill had more input into creating Count Orlok than most assume, he was involved in the entire process.
According to Ukrainian folklore, some of these Cossacks were sorcerers, war mages, gifted with magical abilities (known as “Kharacterniks”, the “Cossack-sorcerer”). This Count Orlok is not a Ukrainian Cossack, but he was a warlord (Count) and a Solomonar enchanter, and many legends associated with these Cossack sorcerers are similiar to the Dacian wolf warriors (which is what Count Orlok is), and this is probably why Robert Eggers wanted this look for him, to represent him as a ancient sorcerer warrior, connected to Pre-Christian times. It’s also somewhat evocative of the previous Orlok and Dracula from the “Nosferatu”-verse, who are bald.
This is not the first time this style appears on Robert Eggers’ films: in “The Northman” (2022) there’s a minor character who shares the same look, Volodymyr, a ship captain from the Land of the Rus (nowadays Ukraine and Western Russia). With this character we have a more clear affiliation to the Ukranian Cossacks, but also to this Pre-Christian European world Count Orlok belongs to.
pro tip: if the surface you're about to sit on is the same colour as your noble eunuch, make sure to double check it to avoid any accusations of assassination attempts
i want to do a painting of a tiger taking a bath to put in a bathroom (bathroom-themed bathroom) and to this end i made a little maquette out of clay and i suspect this will scope creep into having both a painting and sculpture of a tiger or perhaps only a sculpture of a tiger. if i do both should they be displayed together or separately
Tiger maquette by the way 🐅
Working on cutting out a large piece of wood to do the painting on, which is a constraint that will either be really fun or really annoying. Maybe both
Wood primed and underpainted and sketch transferred mostly by cutting it out in different chunks and tracing around them. Stripes to be determined. Nobody let me work on this again for at least two weeks
The finished Ms. Tigers
wishing all christmas-celebrating cat owners a very Good Luck with keeping your tree upright <3
Her name was Judy-Lynn del Rey. And she became the most powerful editor in science fiction history.
Born in 1943 with achondroplastic dwarfism, Judy-Lynn grew up devouring science fiction in New York City's public libraries. At a time when the genre was dismissed as pulp fiction for teenage boys, she saw something else entirely: the future of storytelling.
She started at the bottom—an office assistant at Galaxy, the most prestigious science fiction magazine of the 1960s. Within four years, she was managing editor.
Then Ballantine Books came calling.
When she arrived at Ballantine in 1973, science fiction and fantasy were afterthoughts in publishing. Fantasy in particular was considered unsellable—unless you were Tolkien. Judy-Lynn thought that was nonsense.
Her first major move was audacious: she cut ties with one of Ballantine's bestselling authors, John Norman, whose "Gor" novels were popular but notoriously misogynistic. It was a risk. She didn't care.
Then came the gamble that changed everything.
In 1976, someone brought her an opportunity: the novelization rights to an upcoming space movie by a young director named George Lucas. Hollywood thought the film would bomb. Studio executives were skeptical. Most publishers passed.
Judy-Lynn said yes.
The Star Wars novelization sold 4.5 million copies before the movie even premiered.
She would later call herself the "Mama of Star Wars."
In 1977, she launched Del Rey Books—her own imprint, with her husband Lester editing fantasy while she oversaw everything else. Their first original novel was Terry Brooks's The Sword of Shannara. It became a phenomenon.
She didn't stop there.
Remember The Princess Bride? The original 1973 novel had flopped. It was headed for obscurity. Judy-Lynn rescued it, reissuing it in 1977 with a striking gate-fold cover and an aggressive marketing campaign. Without her intervention, there might never have been a movie.
She published the Star Trek Log series. She championed Stephen R. Donaldson's Thomas Covenant trilogy—convincing Ballantine to release all three books on the same day from a completely unknown author. Unprecedented.
She published Anne McCaffrey's The White Dragon—the first science fiction novel ever to hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
And she did all of this while competitors called her imprint "Death-Rey Books"—because she was utterly dominant.
Between 1977 and 1990, Del Rey Books had 65 titles reach bestseller lists. That was more than every other science fiction and fantasy publisher combined.
Arthur C. Clarke called her "the most brilliant editor I ever encountered."
Philip K. Dick went further: "The greatest editor since Maxwell Perkins"—the legendary editor of Hemingway and Fitzgerald.
But here's what burns: the science fiction community never nominated her for a Hugo Award while she was alive. Not once. The men who ran the industry praised her in private and overlooked her in public.
In October 1985, Judy-Lynn suffered a brain hemorrhage. She died four months later, at 42.
Only then did the Hugo committee vote to give her the Best Professional Editor award.
Her husband Lester refused to accept it.
He said Judy-Lynn would have objected—that it was given only because she had just died. That it came too late.
He was right.
Judy-Lynn del Rey transformed science fiction from a niche hobby into a cultural force. She made fantasy into a mainstream publishing category. She bet on Star Wars when no one else would. She saved The Princess Bride from oblivion. She published the first #1 New York Times science fiction bestseller.
She did all of this standing 4'1" tall in an industry run by men who underestimated her at every turn.
The next time you pick up a fantasy novel, or watch a Star Wars movie, or quote The Princess Bride—
Now you know who made it possible.
Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy being like, "I am 100% committed to respecting your 'no', but I heard you wouldn't promise my aunt not to marry me so I had to come and check just one (1) more time."
i feel very stongly that elizabeth 100% would have sworn darcy to eternal secrecy about the fact that he had already proposed once unsuccessfully when she accepted, solely bc you just KNOW mr collins' smug ass would be like, "oh ho ho! huh! so apparently it IS the usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the man whom they secretly mean to accept when he applies for their favor! hm! interesting!" and then she would be honor-bound to leap over lady catherine's dining table and strangle him
