Let Us Sing As We Go

In the heart of this world, the Lord of life, who loves us so much, is always present. He does not abandon us, he does not leave us alone, for he has united himself definitively to our Earth, and his love constantly impels us to find new ways forward. ~Pope Francis Instagram: @tiajaminetart Redbubble: TiaJaminet Header by Frederick Judd Waugh

Commission Info!

I’m opening up 3 slots for commissions, first come - first served. I’m doing portraits of single characters only, anything from full body to just the head, but the price increases $5 for each tier after head and shoulders: half body (waist up), full body (includes simple background). 

Pencil Portraits: $25 

Monochromatic Digital Portraits: $40

I’ll do:

- characters from MASH, Hornblower, Master & Commander, The Terror AMC (S1), The X-Files, Pacific Rim

- characters from things I haven’t seen IF they look very polite and you are willing to work with me on providing reference pics

- I’ll mess with aspects of reality (time period, hairstyle, etc) IF I also think the idea is fun enough and you’re willing to take a bit of a chance on it

I don’t do:

- cartoon characters or OCs, I need a real person’s face for reference

- nudity or suggestive poses

Process:

DM me with any questions or requests! I’d rather someone ask if they’re curious than assume the answer is no. Payment is through PayPal, 1/2 upfront and 1/2 on delivery. I can show you progress pics and consult with you on options and details as little or as much as you want. I can DM, post on tumblr, or email you the finished product. No physical mail bc I don’t have a PO box set up.

Thinking about 30-50 feral hogs again. Can you imagine the majesty. Murmurating like starlings. Elaborate emergent shapes. The deafening snuffling. They pass through a corn field leaving only rubble behind. And the danger! Don't get too close! It's electric. we have only begun to conceive of the hog

Ok, so theres like 14 tugboats working on the Ever Given now and the tide is coming in. They MIGHT be able to refloat her today.

As a hilarious side note, THIS apparently happened on a highway in china this morning, which SEEMS like a joke but is apparently real:

Evergreen Truck Blocks Chinese Motorway Just Days After Evergreen Ship Jams Suez Canal

The word ‘Evergreen’ will likely now be forever associated with chaos, after a truck carrying one of the company’s shippin

[fandomsandfeminism]

Thank you for a source!

Update on the Ever Given: between the tides and the tugboats, she was straightened out by like...30 meters. The tide has gone back out, so she's not gonna be free TODAY it seems, but they are making progress.

[fandomsandfeminism]

To answer some questions that have come up in the notes:

1. Ever Given is the ship; Evergreen is the company. Yes, that's confusing

2. Yes, it's the same Evergreen that owns the shipping container on the truck (but not the truck itself, I think.)

3. It is also the same Evergreen that has a ship, the Ever Laurel, that spilled thousands of rubber ducks into the ocean in 1992.

What connects the 'Ever Given', the Suez Canal, and 7,200 rubber ducks loose in the Pacific?

Both ships were reportedly chartered by the same company

3/28/2021 It is Sunday morning. They are going to try again today to dislodge the Ever Given with the tides/tug boats.

[fandomsandfeminism]

Sunday evening: still stuck.

Maybe tomorrow evening?

[fandomsandfeminism]

With 17 tugboats helping her- The Ever Given has been refloated and is straightening out! It looks like she did it, yall. She's moving!

[fandomsandfeminism]

Friends. I am so sorry. It is 8am Monday and...we may have celebrated prematurely???

She...she might still be stuck? Or be re-stuck? It's a little unclear at this point.

[fandomsandfeminism]

8:30 Monday update!!!

I think it's for real this time. I think she's free.

Happy 3 year anniversary to the best week of my life

Ok but the way I've been to see Project Hail Mary three times now and every single time the theater was the most crowded I've seen it in years. and all the love and work and practical effects wizardry that went into this movie paying off like... Rocky Grace save movie theaters

[he-said-irene]

Seeing Project Hail Mary opening night on Farscape Day (March 19) is something that can actually be so personal...

It's about the jaw dropping alien puppetry, it's about being sent way out into space all alone and then discovering friendship and belonging beyond your wildest dreams, its about the "I have hope or I have nothing," and most importantly it's about the really really good alien puppet.

[he-said-irene]

Huge shout out to the old guy in front of us at Project Hail Mary who said "doesn't matter, she's gonna grab your ass" during THAT scene with Stratt and to the girl who gasped so loudly when Grace hit his face on the console.

[he-said-irene]

I saw this Project Hail Mary review that said like "Ryan Gosling has never been more appealing" and then he's flopping around in a tastefully translucent plastic bag with caveman hair and getting wasted and dancing with a mop and barfing into a caution cone and taking every possible opportunity to slip, trip, and bang his face on every available surface.
