fuck i'll show yall when it's less two in the morning but the commission im coming back on post illness (flu or sinus infection or whatnot i just got done a full course of antibiotics) is the ENTIRE minecraft end poem

got all 8 thousand characters of text drafted and written earlier, i'll show yall tomorrow on better lighting and then i got 6 pages of borderwork to put together

heres the first two pages from earlier in the day tho

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

okokokok here's all 6 pages seperate so far

i'm not gonna go too much into the drafting, line choices and colour choices here since I actually think that's more of a patreon post than anything else but I could at least give yall a visual

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

holy SHIT this ended up being nearly a 15 hour project as spanned over like 2 weeks on and off

the piece is fucking complete!

Honestly this involved a LOT more WIP content, notes, design details and various other extra information, all of which made it SUPER long and a little unwieldy to post on most social medias, so instead I've made the full writeup one of my first few patreon premium posts! I only charge 3 dollars a month and the tier is mainly for folks who want to support all the free cue cards/openaskboxes BUT I wanna make an effort this year and try to put more stuff out there for yall sending me in those three bucks a month!

it's that time again, kids

[silverfox66]

I adore this recent trend (if that's the right word) of letting an orchestra play classical music on a festival. It's magical to see thousands of festival-goers going absolutely wild on Beethoven. Mosh/circlepits, crowd surfing. It's wonderful to see the orchestra and the audience having the time of their lives.

[tyrannosaurus-rex]

They have to keep it on easy going Beethoven like Ode to Joy here to ensure a more docile response. They cant play In the Hall of the Mountain King cause they were already burning down venues when Grieg dropped that one back in 1875, today there would be a radioactive crater.

see we joke but like. go to around 1:09 here

it does indeed fucking slap

[traumasurvivors]

Your brain loves to rewrite your past with the knowledge you have now. This is called hindsight bias. It makes things look clear that were not clear at all when you were in the situation.

Hindsight can make everything feel like it was obvious. Patterns feel clearer. Red flags look brighter. But you did not have that clarity when you were in it. You were acting with the knowledge, feelings, and instincts you had at the time.

Even if someone warned you, even if part of you suspected something was wrong, the way you felt then mattered. Hope mattered. Fear mattered. Attachment mattered.

You were trying. You were surviving. You were not foolish for wanting things to work.

Be kinder to the version of you who did not know what you know now.

I’ve been asked to volunteer some time to speak on local crime as a person with experience in Security and depending on what they’re expecting they’re either gonna love it or hate it, I can see no middle ground

[teaboot]

P much all crime is a convergence of means, motive, and opportunity, ime, and it’s impossible to eliminate means, which leads me to think that all we can actually DO to “stop” crime is reduce motive and reduce opportunity.

If a community can tackle Reducing Motives- offering safe distribution sites, shelter, food pantries, mental health, clothing, education, outreach, etc

And private businesses and individuals take responsibility for Reducing Opportunity- hiring ACTUAL security, training staff, maintaining equipment, locking doors, not leaving valuables unattended, etc

Then that’s just. Most Crime

But everyone WANTS to just “lock up the bad apples so the streets are safe for the normal people” and that’s not….. Anything, actually

When we were children, my sister had private music lessons at her violin teacher’s house. I only visited there once, but I still remember that afternoon. The teacher had an artificial pond in her yard, a large beautiful thing with lily pads and plant life. And in the pond, there were goldfish. I had never seen such enormous goldfish. 

I spent several minutes just staring at them (and trying to convince them to bite my fingers.) When my sister’s violin lesson ended, her teacher came out to the yard and explained that these goldfish were the same small creatures that were often unfortunately sold in plastic bags at state fairs. They were only about two inches long apiece, when she bought them and put them in the new, empty pond. In essence, they were like every goldfish I had seen before, but they had been given a much larger, much richer environment in which to flourish. As a result, they had grown into some of the most remarkable, vibrant creatures my twelve-year-old self had ever met with. All because of a pond. 

Funny what lessons children remember. My sister doesn’t play the violin anymore, but that was the first time I caught a glimpse of the overwhelming extent to which it matters, the way the world treats us.

Give us room to grow and see how we flourish.

problematic sudoku solving skills gap

[princecroutons]

imagine you're some guy and you're going through the woods one day and you stumble upon a house and the people who live there just give you free food and eventually let you inside and it's like nothing you've ever seen before and the people are so nice and loving towards you and then one day they decide to never let you leave again, steal your balls, and give you a stupid fucking hair cut

[princecroutons]

my name is croutons and this is my story

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#why is he naked??????

Given how much they've cut off, his fur was probably matted. Long-haired cats often need regular brushing, or at least a safe indoor environment to regularly groom themselves. Long-haired strays frequently get hair so matted it can't be brushed out and it has to be cut off for their health and comfort.

It'll grow back and, since he's an indoor cat now and I assume his owner has a cat brush, it'll be much more comfortable when it does.

but do you play shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less 🤨

[slitherpunk]

the thing about "I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding" is that these games exist and are out there and you have to make the conscious choice to seek them out instead of just expecting the big companies to deliver this, because they will not

my hottest take

[keeper-of-the-flames]

Counter point, those machines can make me a peach sprite.

[pusheenthenerdcat]

guys did you know the tech in that nefangled machine revolutionized preemie healthcare

[maimonideznuts]

[pusheenthenerdcat]

yeah the guy who invented them made incredibly precise infusion pumps (as opposed to gravity fed ivs) which not only meant they could give medications to teeny tiny babies safely, it's also used for insulin pumps and portable dialysis machines. the key element is that it's a peristaltic pump so the liquid stays in sterile tubing for safety

(unholy drink cloaca uses it to dispense precise amounts of flavored sugar syrup)

[hedgebotherer]

Then how the haters loved him,

As they shouted out with glee,

"Unholy Drink Cloaca
