'' Pests found in shipwrecks, coral reefs, rocky tidepools and deep underwater caves. Triton blennies love infesting our fishing vessels, stealing our food, and leaving a nasty mess of fish guts behind. For a small dragon with multiple legs, the only thing they got going for is their gnarly interlocked teeth, other than that... they're pretty much little defenseless marine scum. We roast them whole, boiled in a stew with mandrakes and other vegetables, and sometimes their legs get pulled out and served as garnish for soups, quite similar to the Swoopalüng taste wise- they're good eating, its just upsetting that they're almost everywhere we set sail to.

Probably about three years ago, I was on a dying blogging website and stumbled across a piece of information that I can only describe as…

Brilliant piece discussing the market that produced Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die

Can't believe I haven't posted a new symmetrical print for over 6 months! What's going on??

Leatherwork patterns/designs from Le Cuir: Compositions Decoratives by Jehan Raymond, 1908.

I'm seeing a lot of people tag this with their find later tag, so I just want to say that you can make an account on the internet archive and save the book to your favourites! (In case it wasn't clear from the post, there are pattern diagrams and full colour illustrations for every design in the book.)

And once you do that, also save Leather Work (1915) by Adelaide Mickel to your favourites. (Some bizarre uploading error has tacked on another unrelated book to the end of that one, so unfortunately it's only 58 pages and not 464.)

This is one of my personal favorites and it's up for auction because Agnes Gund, who bought it directly from Rothko, died and she was one of the good people in that world.

I hope a lot of these paintings on sale now don't disappear into private collections, but some of them probably will

rose tinted glasses but one thing i miss abt fandom circa 2010-2015 was that we loved internalised homophobia. people seem generally less interested in internalised homophobia as an insidious force which manifests in behaviour that’s dark and cruel and frightening and selfish. in the 2020’s it’s more of like a nameable character flaw which does not touch anyone outside the character affected by it and functions in fictional more like a sanitised internal monologue and is easily solvable. which is not really how this sort of bigotry functions -it’s not a personal failing as such more a living organism which can manifest in interpersonal relationships in odd and confusing ways.

characters do kind of have to think and act in ways which are both motivated by and facilitate shame in order for that exploration to have any meat. and sometimes that means acting in ways that are understandably but not justifiably cruel to both themselves and others, even people they love.

shame is such an interesting and complex motivator but in order to feel shame you have to engage in thoughts and behaviours that are, well, shameful.

Zulu Imbenge baskets are woven entirely of recycled telephone wire in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, a province of South Africa. In the 1990s, Zulu women began repurposing discarded telephone wires, weaving them into intricate patterns to create colorful and durable baskets while preserving traditional weaving techniques.

i think i tend to forget how good boredom is for creativity because we're all so addicted to numbing ourselves with screens and stimulation. but standing in the shower or going for a walk with no music or just sitting in your bedroom without being allowed to touch any screens & all of a sudden i have multiple new projects to start, a solution to a months-long plot problem & 4 new original characters

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

Alexander Calder’s kitchen. 

The Kitchen Area of the large, open living space is a visual feast of color, shape and function, casually juxtaposing utilitarian, edible and decorative8 components. Brightly colored utensils, baskets of every shape and size, and primitive and ethnic objects share space with fresh vegetables and fruit. Calder-designed rugs cover the wood floor, while the paraphernalia of artistic production crowds work tables.
