The neurodivergent experience is talking about your brain as if it's a separate entity from your self
After three months of labor-conducive love, my silkscreen book is complete!
Based off of the video game ANATOMY, it tells the story of what it really means to live in a haunted house
This game has some of the best writing and one of the most original ideas I’ve seen in a while, so please, take a look!
everyone do yourself a favor and watch the original japanese 1990′s moomin intro
these lyrics singlehandedly cured all the chemical imbalances in my brain
Something hides in every night that brings desire from the deep And with it comes a burning light to keep us from our sleep
Though he’s not alone, he fears to never love another and leave his heart forever with her smile
Something died within a soul left the eyes to rust and every time it is recalled it covers all in dust
You loved it then, so did I … you loved me then.A feeling deep inside you wants to love it all again
If only I’d forget you, but you’re everywhere, yes you are in every melody and in every little scar.. Yes you are, you are, love
light is burning as I’m burning, as I’m yearning, love

Here it is, the bird, the legend: Buzz the kenku warlock from the Dandelion Farmers campaign! Done as part of a craft swap with @dreamlogic: I’ve never made a needle-felted mixed-media doll before, and this was a really fun challenge. (Buzz is made from a combination of pipe cleaners, wool roving, sculpey clay, tin foil, felt, scrap fabric samples, and misappropriated jewelry-making supplies, which is very much on-brand for its personality...) I had a blast with this!
constantly torn between being seduced by a masked, gentlemanly thief in Victorian era England or being the masked, gentlemanly thief in Victorian era England
is there a problem with a romance between two masked gentlemanly thieves in Victorian England?

Ok so this is cool but I always wondered how they knew the shadows were different at the same instant. I mean it is not like they had phones. How did they sync up that instant. I feel like that would be interesting to know but no one ever says.
^^^Does anybody know this one? How, that far apart, the time at which the shadows were observed was synced up? I am genuinely curious, not a goddamn moron asking a gotcha question. High/Low tide? (I live in the middle of the country I do not know for the precise habits of tidal activity.) The appearance of a star (or planet) in the sky? Something as utterly mundane as sunrise?
Well, first of all, it wasn’t actually pillars! Eratosthenes was told about a well in Syene that, in the summer solstice every year (June 21st) would be illuminated at the bottom entirely and without any cast shadows. This indicated that the sun was directly overhead. Going off that well known curiosity and an intelligent hunch, our dude Eratosthenes waited until high noon of the summer solstice to measure the angle of a shadow cast by a stick in Alexandria. (Sidenote: Eratosthenes was a librarian of the infamous Library of Alexandria.)
His next course of action was to hire bematists, surveyors of the time whose professional specialty was to measure distance by walking with equal length steps. They measured a distance between Alexandria and Syene of about 5000 stadia. (Guess where the word stadium comes from.) Once he had that measurement, Eratosthenes did his math-y thing, and there you have it.
ANSWER EVEN COOLER THAN I HOPED!!
Eratosthenes’ work was thorough enough that by the time he finished revising his calculations, he ended up only 66 km off of the actual polar circumference of the Earth, or an error margin of 0.16%. [wiki]
Some amazing book dedications:
