This is the epitome of my art and self because I had the idea for eight months before drawing it, which was thirty minutes of actual work spread over two days because I kept forgetting to finish it, and then another six months to post it anywhere.

Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

L'Odissea di Nolan tra "scheletri spazzatura" e relitti: Arpa al lavoro in Sicilia, che succede

Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

it’s kind of funny when people are like “oh the phm fandom is so perfect” because it’s like. okay well no we’re not actually and if i’m being honest i think you only think that cause you’re white

[creatingblackcharacters]

Funny how people think racism is only against black people. I worked a case one time where the victim was a white person viciously attacked by black people. This client was literally just walking down the street and ambushed, called anti-white slurs and told to stay out of the neighborhood.

I'm glad we all agree this is Down With Whites Bus

How to play Survivor:

Survivor is a Reality TV show in which the contestants are taken to a remote location (usually on a deserted island) for 30-40 days and compete to win a million dollars. Contestants are initially split into 'tribes' which compete in challenges against one another. The tribes typically live apart in a survival scenario. They are given very few supplies (typically a machete, a pot, and sometimes a bag of rice) and forced to battle the elements on their own. They must build a shelter with materials at their camp, hunt for food, and build their own fires (though they often win rewards at challenges to make these survival aspects easier).

There are a variety of challenges that appear in the game. Most are physical in some way, like obstacle courses or something that involves a lot of strength or balance. There are often a lot of puzzles as well.

At the end of each episode, the tribe who lost a recent challenge must vote off someone from their tribe, which is where the social aspect of the game comes up. The show typically starts with about 16-20 contestants, divided into 2-3 tribes. People get voted out of their tribes for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it can be because they're bad at challenges, they're annoying and lazy, or because they're perceived as a threat to someone else's position in the game. Physically weak people do not necessarily get voted out as long as they have alliances with other people in the tribe.

Once there are about 10 people left in the game, the tribes 'merge', meaning that all the remaining contestants live together at the same camp and compete in individual challenges instead of team challenges for advantages in the game.

After the tribes are merged, the 'jury' begins. Typically after the merge, when people get voted out, they don't go home. Instead, they get added to the jury. The jury will observe who gets voted off each episode but not interact with the contestants still in the game until the last episode. During the finale, the Final Two or Final Three contestants will explain to the jury why they feel like they should they should win the million dollars. The jury at this point can ask questions of the contestants to help them understand what happened over the season better. Afterwards, the jury votes on who will win the game and the million dollar cash prize.

There are many strategies involved in winning the game. If someone is physically very strong, they'll typically be very good in challenges, which will cause them to win a lot of challenges, and therefore advantages that can help get them to the end. Sometimes, people take notice that someone is good at challenges and target them because of this. Other contestants play a good social game, where they are friendly enough (or manipulative enough) with the other contestants to convince them that they shouldn't be voted out. Sometimes people are weary of people that play such a good social game or view them as disloyal because they have relationships with everyone.

To explain the voting options: Quits/Med-evaced: Contestants are not forced into these circumstances. It is a physically demanding game, and people are allowed to quit for any reason (though, this is discouraged). Sometimes people suffer from injuries and are taken out of the game by production for their safety. This option is people who are ejected from the game outside of Tribal Council.

First out: They are the first person voted out of their tribe. This can be due to a lot of reasons, though it is typically because they couldn't make friends with other people in their tribe, they did something viewed as untrustworthy, or they were really bad at challenges.

Taken out pre-merge: This is for the people who weren't the first out, but didn't make it far in the game. This is typically people who don't get along with others very well or do poorly at challenges, but it can also be people who are perceived as threats to do really well in individual challenges, meaning they'll be difficult to vote out later.

Gimmicked out of the game: the longer that Survivor is on, they add new advantages. This options is for all the unlucky people who go out for no fault of their own, they simply ended up in a bad situation and couldn't dig themselves out.

Taken out post-merge for being a threat: After the merge, typically people start planning for who they want to take to the end. To win the game, you need the jury to vote for you to win the game. To get to the end of the game, you typically need to lie and blindside and manipulate people to get ahead. This means that people that are liked by a majority of the jury typically get voted out at this point in the game because they would be very likely to win if they get to the end. Threats can also be people who are good at challenges, since if they keep winning, they can't be voted out.

Loses at fire-making/tie-breaker: once there are only a few people left in the game, if there is a tie on who got the most votes, the contestants who were voted enter a duel to decide who gets to stay. This is a fire-making challenge to see who can build a fire the fastest. In later seasons, the show always has two people at the Final Four compete in this challenge to decide who gets to earn their Final Three spot regardless of the wishes of the contestants.

Taken to the end as a sacrificial goat: A strategy many winners implement is bringing someone that is liked by no one to the end of the game as an easy vote-out. This person typically gets no votes at the end. They are the 'sacrificial goat' in that they are eliminated at the very end of the game to make the winner look better in comparison to the jury.

Makes it to the Final Two/Three: This is for people who are skilled enough to make it to the end, but just couldn't get enough people on the jury to vote for them. Maybe they upset a lot of people by lying to them about who they would vote for, or they didn't make a lot of friends over the game, or maybe they just aren't particularly good at speaking persuasively in their final speeches.

Wins the game: This is the option for people that have what it takes to win the game. They have a strong social game where they know what's going on with everyone in the game, are good at detecting when they're being lied to, and they were able to convince enough people on the jury to vote for them.

He wins, but god, at what cost. The Final Tribal is miserable for everyone involved, he's had to make some very painful choices and it's probably decided by a single vote. Depending on who he gets to the end with he's not winning, but I think he just barely takes it. Also depends on which book in the series we're talking.

dna is often explained as if it was computer code, but its important to remember its literally a bunch of physical strings. just as important as the sequence itself is how these physical strings are packaged and where proteins attach to them, because this determines which parts can even be read

sometimes i have strong opinions but they're also so inane that halfway through writing a post i'll be like "yeah, this is Absolutely not worth the energy it's taking" and delete everything. but then the opinion is still in my head. and i still want to share it. so within five minutes i go "you know, i bet i can phrase it more succinctly this time" and anyway. you all see where this is going. sometimes i do this four times in a row before i give up on the specific inane opinion and instead write a vague post about the concept of opinions as if that'll satisfy the urge to post the entirety of my inner monologue online. may or may not be relevant to what you're reading right now. and now all our lives have been enriched. you're welcome

Elliot Page does not play Achilles in The Odyssey like transphobes were preemptively angry about but Homer just told me he updated the Iliad and Achilles is canonically transgender now and not just subtextually transgender like in the first draft.

[byjove]

Now I’m mad because I want Elliot Page Achilles. Do I think he’d be good casting for that role? No. Do I want to see it? Yes.

Every morning, the queen asked her magic mirror to show her the most beautiful person in the world.

The mirror replied "To whom?"

"The miller who made the flour for my bread," the queen would say, or "Whoever spun the thread my shawl was made of".

The mirror would show her, and she'd be amazed.

[nullen-void]

The first time, she says "To me," and the mirror dutifully shows her her reflection. And she is pleased.

The second time, she says "To the King," and she is pleased to see herself once more.

The third time, she says "To the Royal Advisor," and is once more satisfied to see herself.

The fourth time, she says "To the scribe who takes the King's letters." She is shown the man's wife. And she seethes, but quiets herself, for it is only right that a man loves his wife.

The fifth time, she says "To the Court Wizard," and is shown the man's departed mother as he remembers her from his youth, radiant and smiling and warm and larger than life.

The tenth time, she says "To the Stable Master," and is shown the fastest horse in the stable, majestic and free as the wind even in captivity

"To the baker," she is shown the man's daughter, young and adorable and full of joy and laughter.

"To the artist who did my portrait," she is shown a painting of a woman done by the man's teacher, who he still looks up to now that he is well established himself.

"To the Royal Knight," she is surprised but not displeased to see the castle's entire guard force in the middle of doing drills.

The one hundredth time she asks the mirror, and it asks her "to whom?" she once again says, "To me." And she does the same the one hundred and second, and again and again and again.

It is a different person each time, and they are all beautiful.
