This amount of individualism is exactly whats gonna kill us all btw

"Going a couple hours without eating a single kind of food? No thanks, I would rather kill a child" is such a wildly horrifying take to see MULTIPLE people proudly stating.

News flash. If the choice is between mildly inconveniencing yourself by accommodating and you know, the person that needs accommodation being SEVERELY affected and not getting to do BASIC THINGS (yes, to those arguing "shouldn't be on the plane" that essentially means you are saying you cannot travel by air if you have an allergy which is a MAJOR restriction) ... maybe you should. You know. Not be a selfish dick.

- coming from the person who was told by another on a uni field trip where I needed accommodations for food things that if I need those I should not have come at all because I am an inconvenience. It's been years but this is still personal.

"I love you but you're doing wrong in a way I cannot condone" and "I hate you but you're being wronged in a way I cannot stomach" are top tier and I need more of them.

idioms are always funnier in languages you do not understand, especially when a native speaker is struggling to explain and actively digesting how ridiculous it is in real time

me when my partner tries to explain what suskikusen (I don’t know the spelling that’s the phonetics of it) is in Finnish and why the blazing heck they names our cat it.

georgeismyprincess

for references, they named our cat “ski into a pine tree” or “ski straight into a tall tree” depending on who you ask. It’s a “get lost” in Finnish. very useful saying

…when we’re not naming a cat

byjove

That is such a Finnish way to say fuck off and a hilarious name for a cat. Paints a vivid picture of the cat’s personality.

That's amazing and beautiful, and I can't imagine doing it with a quill in an inadequately heated monastery scriptorium on an Atlantic island in November.

But it was done that way regardless.

Here's the Lindisfarne Gospels.

Here's the Book of Kells.

Every time I suck ass at doing crafts, I tell myself: do not think about David Shrigley's piano dog. And every time, my brain tells me, whatever you say, dog.

The kids on Tiktok were right actually

Making masks rules

draconym

I think the beads really complete the look

For the folks curious about templates, these are the shapes I cut from cardboard. I added a couple little pieces of cereal box cardboard as structural support in various points, like the bridge of the nose and behind the beak. Also, I ended up cutting the forehead piece a little smaller, which I marked on the paper, but I kept the template size in case you want to see how it originally looked.

@blackbearmagic made a bunch of cool templates for the workshop I'm going to do in December, too. I'll get a few photos of those later.

I think my favorite part of this was how different your mask looks from all the ones I've made so far, and not just because you made a bird and I've been making mammals

It's a completely different piece of wearable art. It has a different soul. It has a different feel.

I think everyone should make a mask of their favorite animal to wear, even if they're not a therian. I think the world would be a healthier, happier place if everyone made a cardboard replica of their favorite animal's face.

Bear's mask templates! I just want to stress that our masks are extremely low tech and budget friendly. They're made out of cardboard, hot glue, and fleece, with an elastic band in the back. I used a little sheer black fabric I had leftover from my terror bird costume for the eyes.

Fleece and felt are very forgiving fabrics and you can basically just cut a single large piece and stretch it to fit, gluing it to the cardboard one small section at a time. The fabric was the only purchase we made for these, and it was in the form of thrift store blankets.

It's easy! It's fun! Go do it now!!!
