Dolled Up Lin Beifong

So y'all know my inabilities of posting at all but I promise you I actually finished a piece that's been sitting in my files!!

I drew Lin Beifong :0 surprised? Same frfr. Anyways I always like to think that Asami managed to get Lin out of the office. Like to have a girls night out!

The girls night out would be with Lin, Asami, Korra and Opal probably and of course we can't forget Kya. Kya catches wind of Lin going out and miss ma'am comes back to RC. Like most people thinking that Lin has a lack of fashionable things to wear and Lin is slightly nervous to hang out with girls so young and their jaws hit the floor.

Like Lin is literally made of money and probably saved at least a couple of fashion designers so miss ma'am is hooked up with the good stuff lol

Anyways, without further ado, have a Lin Beifong drawing

This drawing has been sitting in my files since last year sometime and it was always such a shame I left it there to collect dust. Like I swear to you guys I have not stopped thinking about it and so I finally managed to make myself finish this dang drawing on my weekend.

Took me maybe two hours to color it (which to be honest, was very limited)

But I finished it, and below are the only saved photos of my progress but only because I cleared my camera role out XD

Anyways, enjoy Lin and if reposted please credit!! I'll try to make more art soon! See you in the future sdkjkjsdjksd

So I was scrolling and saw this image in an article about the European heat wave,

And was like, uh, are you missing something there, buddy? Like all that red in northern Africa? Because that's a lot of red.

And I was going to give them the benefit of doubt, since I don't know much about the climate in Northern Africa, aside from Morroco and Egypt, which seem like really hot places, so you know, maybe it's normal there?

But nope, that's not the case:

‘Hot Continent’ Perception Downplays Africa's Heat Wave Dangers

Africa is struggling with heat waves and many countries on the continent lack the resources rich economies have to deal with rising temperat

Some selections from the article:

"The region has been experiencing some of the most intense heat waves in recent years, but in many cases they’ve been under-reported due to misconceptions about Africans’ ability to withstand them.

“Africa is seen as a sunny and hot continent,” said Amadou Thierno Gaye, a research scientist and professor at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, the capital of Senegal. “People think we are used to heat, but we are having high temperatures for a longer duration. Nobody is used to this.”

"The Sahel, for instance, has been heating at a faster pace than the global average despite being hot already. Burkina Faso and Mali, both in West Africa’s Sahel, are among countries that are set to become almost uninhabitable by 2080, if the world continues on its current trajectory, a UK university study found. Its people are especially vulnerable due to shrinking resources, such as water, and poor amenities, and a dearth of trees and parks means there are few options for places to cool off."

huge fan of the depth of a good purple but another area that draws me is definitely around aquamarine/turquoise/seafoam. you can not go wrong once the green starts getting just a tinge more blue. a gal could certainly do worse than to pull over there and stay a while

this is why one of my favorite all-time paintings is Ship in Stormy Seas by Ivan Aivazovsky... he was really onto something there

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!

Dear Tumblr,

I'm a UX Designer. This change completely destroys the second best feature on this website. (I'm not telling you what you (unwittingly) are doing best for fear you'll enshittify that too.)

Unlike other platforms, which monetize anxiety, anger and narcissism, this site is about creating communities. If you need inspiration on how to fund raise, I suggest looking to Wikipedia or Ao3 for inspiration, instead of mindlessly aping the dumpster-fire platforms we all ran from.

[designer-fiction]

Removing any notes from OP:

makes reblogging pointless. People here do so to give OP extra visibility, now all the reblog feature does is steal their work for attention. Ew.

makes posting pointless. Now there's no chance any small whimsical post will ever reach Tumblr heritage post status ever again.

Please roll this back. Please.

two of the most brutally impactful animation shorts I've ever seen are trailers for a leftist history podcast. a medium that famously does not require visuals. but they went ahead and paid for two crazy animated trailers with crazy sound design anyway. a friend showed them to me two months ago. it's genuinely fucked up how much I think about them. is it strange to be in a fandom for 2 two minute long podcast trailers? I am very seriously contemplating making gifsets right now

[cloudmancy]

I cannot convey to you how crazy this sequence about the nixon administration & extension of the vietnam war to cambodia are. you have to watch it for yourself and your sound has to be ON

[sketcheun]

100%, i'm always thinking about their afghanistan trailer:

just the music:

Animating historical facts in the style of Scavenger's Reign is so emotionally powerful, it's mesmerizing.
