Hi. I'm Ene and I draw things. Sometimes it's frogs, sometimes it's people, other times it's my every day anxieties. Most of the time, I don't draw at all.
I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
Shoenhut doll construction was fucking wild. You can show me as many examples as you want of it, and I still feel overwhelmed.
Like, their contribution to the toy industry in general is crazy, from how it was one of the biggest manufacturers in the United States to how no one outside of collectors knows of them now, but the sheer technological complexity of their play dolls is mind boggling.
This was the 1910s; ball jointing with string was the predominant method of movement, and composition was king. Shoenhut started out with toy pianos, and had only worked up to jointed dolls via their smaller scale circus line and a Teddy Roosevelt playset (yes, really).
The "All Wood Perfection Art Doll" was not only a mechanical marvel, but was specifically advertised as being durable and painted in such a way that it wouldn't (not for a while, at least) wear off or chip. They're a relic of a bygone "Made to Last Forever" mentality, and many of them can still hold their poses to this day.
GAZAN BOY NEEDS URGENT MEDICAL TREATMENT (SHRAPNEL EXTRACTION FROM HEAD)
A Gazan friend of mine outside Tumblr has recently contacted me with urgent and terrible news about one of her family members.
[ID: On the left, a photo of a partially destroyed building that has weathered an airstrike, and on the right a photo of two children holding toy purses and smiling serenely towards the camera. /End ID]
Haitham, who is here on tumblr @haithamnayef, and has been vetted by Mohammad @ayeshjourney on @gaza-evacuation-funds's list here at number 8 has endured a year of war without help and without a source of income.
He, his wife Sherin, and their 4 children, have endured constant displacement, homelessness, lack of basic needs, and constant terror for a year. Countless of their friends and family members have been martyred.
Now, Haitham is forced to ask for our help because the unspeakable has happened. His son was struck in his head with shrapnel.
I don't think I need to explain the danger of leaving a little boy with such a critical injury untreated for any amount of time, and yet he has been left untreated for far too long, and continues to worsen by the second. This is why we need to fight for him to receive treatment outside of Gaza as quickly as possible.
I always reiterate that time is of the essence, and that every second counts, and right now I mean this more than ever. Haitham and his family cannot bear the thought of losing their son.
I certainly can't bear it, and I know you can't either, so I'm begging you to act in any way you can, even if it's sending this campaign link to your friends and acquaintances.
The campaign has only received 9 donations so far, putting it at $158 out of its goal of $50,000. We can't let this stand.
I'm Haitham. I am 32 years old, I have a wife, Sherin, 4 children, and my father and mother, may God pro… Amani A needs your support for Hel
The EP–1320 Medieval is, amazingly, a real gadget being sold by Teenage Engineering — it’s a “beat machine” (or “instrumentalis electronicum”) loaded with a bunch of musical phrases & instruments from the Dark Ages. “This is ludicrous and I love it.”
