HANDMADE Polymer clay Armadillo sculpture.

ae think ford hates hawktopuses in the same way that a lot of zoologists (we’re using that loosely, just to mean people who have an avid interest in animals) hate koalas: they’re just really bad at being alive

koalas eat a food source that is both poisonous and lacks most of the nutrients they need to survive. they have to spend so much time sleeping because they get so little energy from their food. they can’t even recognize that it’s food if it’s not attached to a tree. and to even eat that food in the first place, they need to consume their mothers’ feces. evolutionary chance has led them to a very unfortunate existence

ae think it’s a similar situation with the hawktopus. their octopus biology prevents them from having the skills a hawk normally would. their hawk biology prevents them from having the skills an octopus normally would. they’re not even part waterfowl. their hawk part can’t fuckin exist in the water. the octopus part needs to be well hydrated, and it doesn’t get that very well on land. they’re a mishmash of ‘wow, nature really fucked you over’

ae think that’s why ford finds them stupid. they’re one of those animals that can barely even exist.

‘Hands weaving magnetic-core memory, IBM, Poughkeepsie, New York,’ 1956. Photograph by Ansel Adams.

My mother used to make computer cores as a "work from home" side business. As a child I got spending money via un-winding the ones that failed testing so that the magnetic center could be re-used. I got between $0.05 and $0.25 per core depending. Mom got more for the finished ones, of course, though I don't know how much. Her sister was an expert, and did the more complicated kind, some of which ended up in satellites and/or were used by NASA!

They were all done by hand using a kind of treadle-operated frame with a little (crochet!) hook to pull the wires around the cores. The people making them were mostly housewives who did this as a side-job in the 80s and 90s. I don't know if it's still done that way anywhere in the USA today, but the history of computing and space exploration is littered with "women's work" like this.

"Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl" 🌟MASTERPOST🌟

"Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl" is a series that follows Aika, a reluctant magical girl, her new friend, Zira and magical mascot, Hoshi. These days, all Aika wants is to be a normal girl but with her "nemesis" Eclipse and the all powerful Lady DeVoid causing trouble, that dream seems to be unlikely.

More under the cut!

"war on drugs" was a crock of shit that was used purely as an excuse to hurt people who were already vulnerable. If they had actually wanted to help people, there are so, so many things that they should have done instead. There is only one right way to win a war on drugs.
