Late Night at the Art Studio From my upcoming artbook, which is crowdfunding right now!

[agnesmontague]

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs

[stellarskyes]

after the hyperprocessed foods, do you take tranquilizers to simulate getting captured by animal control and returned to the wild?

[agnesmontague]

i would settle for melatonin gummies but well. knock yourself out

Today a very friendly Golden Retriever came up to me and I said "hey buddy :D" and the owner asked "do you know each other?" like his dog had a social life he didn't know about

Siobhan as Madeleine boldly states "He died for our sins."

With a finger held up Madeleine questions, "if we don't sin, then why'd he die?"

Huh. I wonder if they weren't abandoned, the cost/environmental impact/efficiency matchup would look like between canals and railroads. I suspect the latter would still win, because they're marvelously efficient, but I wonder. Takes less work in the physics sense to move a shitload of cargo over the surface of water than on rails, doesn't it?

[prismatic-bell]

Not really the point, is it?

[iamnoonewhoareyou]

Actually just a sidenote here:

In southeast Louisiana, all the canals they dug created saltwater intrusion, which, wouldn’t be an issue if we hadn’t intervened in other ways.

BUT, since we diverted part of the water of the Mississippi River to protect New Orleans, all of the sediment isn’t reaching the delta to restore what salt water intrusion is eroding.

We disrupted natures ability to heal itself in the name of commerce.

To this day, we lose 2 football fields per year to saltwater intrusion. Our delta was our strongest protection against hurricanes, since they created a land barrier to starve storms of energy before they reached more densely populated areas.

(And since we’ve made the climate worse with constant fossil fuel consumption those storms are only getting stronger but that’s a story for another post)

So yeah. Canals kind of doomed New Orleans and most of southeast Louisiana. Grand isle is a shadow of what it once was and a bunch of other smaller communities don’t even exist anymore.

So uh. Yeah. I don’t care if canals are the most efficient foolproof way of transporting cargo. They’ve fucked up the wetlands of my home in a way we can never truly recover from. Like they’re TRYING but the state government dumps all the coastal wetland money into oil subsidies instead of restoring what we’ve lost.

Because it always comes back to money and “efficiency” with these people

The Merrill-Poor House, C. 1791

[byjove]

Yes and what’s even more ironic is that it’s called the Merrill-Poor house because one of its initial owners had the surname Poor. Like, the Poor family lived in this huge architecture marvel of a house. That Poor family!

[byjove]

It was listed for a surprisingly affordable $1,200,000 (probably because it’s in the middle of nowhere, maybe because it’s terribly haunted) but I think it’s off the market again. Here is the Wikipedia article on the house.

[zoesupreme]

I think overall there will probably be devastating long term effects on the movie industry from a horror movie based on a youtube video based on a 4chan post making 7 times it's budget on opening weekend but I think the movie itself is probably preddy good

[zoesupreme]

what studios are going to take away from this, unfortunately, is not that building practical sets instead of green screen stages and taking a risk on a 20 year old first time director can sometimes pay off and elevate a really thin script into something more substantial. they are going to start asking themselves how do we make a movie out of that one post that says notice how there was no wednesday this week

[fairycosmos]

you literally have to unironically listen to some shit like party rock anthem so you don’t kill yourself

[nolaplantdaddy]

I love when people ask "how did you learn this skill?" I just started, there's no secret. that's it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.
