Project Hail Mary "faceless" gouache studies! I painted them in pairs so they're thematically related. From top to bottom- Identity, Adventure, Melancholy, Connection, Inevitability, and Communication.
I had a lot of fun with this series, and it was nice to focus on traditional art for a bit.
amaze amaze amaze!! š¶šŖ
complimented a cashier on her turtle pin this morning and she said "oh thanks, I am a little bit of a Turtle Person" with the carefully contained energy of Cookie Monster telling you he's mildly fond of chocolate chips
I hope she and the multiple tons of turtle merch she definitely has at home are having a wonderful day
i love this metaphor so much i drew it

i gave my sister $100 for her bday, but i gave it to her inĀ $1 bills that i folded into origami. so thatās how she pays for delivery food & now the pizza girl thinks sheās a stripper
Youāre really good at origami holy sh
i learned it specifically to make these for this exact situationĀ
Arenāt you the same bitch that gave your sister $100 dollars in nickels?
same bitch
Yeah, neither of these things happened šš¼
listen here my good hoe, i canāt find photos of the 2000 nickels or the 20 stars, but i did not spend weeks planning meticulously inconvenient birthday giftsĀ over a period of years just to get whaled on by internet gremlins. here is some equally compelling evidence for an anecdote i was saving for later:
it weighed 68.6 lbs

why is no one talking about the book reunion scene. did you know when grace explains that heās going to die of starvation, rocky immediately tells him to leave and go back home, that heāll just keep waiting, that erid might send another ship someday. iām going crazy. rocky had probably completely accepted his fate and then grace miraculously appeared and gave him back his life and his home. and he was instantly willing to give it all up again just so grace could survive. can anyone hear me. this is insane. iām insane
Grace and Rocky spend the entirety of the book just doing this. Itās enrichment for them
YEAH. I've been meaning to say this too. Like Rocky has been alone in space for 46 years and is willing to wait longer for Grace to live. thye make me ill
REblog if you are Asexual, support Asexuals, or spend most of your time actually thinking about Superheroes.
Herding sheep, looking after kids, and playing healer in videogames: every day you're surprised of the sheer innovative genius of how they'll find the most inconvenient goddamn places just outside your reach to get hurt or put themselves in lethal danger.
Isnāt this sheep in real life?
Children in real life also.
It. It literally did. That was literally precisely the point.
I have no idea how the hell I could possibly express myself more clearly.

IT'S LITERALLY RIGHT THERE.

The chicken chain was told to "cluck off" the last time it tried to move into the UK. This time, it hired bigger guns.

article: āI suspect that a bit of the steam has gone out of the LGBT thing,ā Backman told the right-wing outlet, staying ahead of the issue. āThere may be the odd protester, but if they have got armies of PR people laser-focused on that then I suspect it may be OK.ā
me: no surprises there... fuck them

We go through a lot of pickles here and this recipe is a good way to use leftover brine.
The thing that pisses me off the most though is the fact I know so many LGBTQ+ individuals that still go there, and they are surprised when I actually don't. It's literally like that tweet.

I havenāt pissed people off lately by reminding them that ALL types of physical punishment of kids has been proven beyond ANY reasonable doubt to have only negative long term outcomes.
So let me scream it from the hilltops:
Stop hitting kids. End of sentence.
If you think, ābut I was hit and I turned out just fineā let me pre-reply: NO YOU DID NOT. You think hitting a child is ok, how the fuck does that qualify as āfineā?????? From one abuse survivor to another: please start healing yourself.

YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME TUMBLR
So annoying. So GD annoying.
The World Health Organization report I highly recommend because there are so many conclusions that are shocking and yet completely obvious.
For example, being exposed to corporal punishment as a kid makes it more likely for a person to commit domestic violence against a partner. In places where corporal punishment is normal, people are more likely to think that rape and intimate partner violence are normal. Kids who are spanked are more likely to be violent with and to bully other kids.
Spanking is literally teaching a kid that violence is okay and normal and it affects the whole society.
It also talks about how corporal punishment affects the brain in its development. It changes the structure of the brain and slows the development of mental abilities. Kids who get spanked have much stronger hormonal responses to stress.
