researching the history of education in japan and learning that, pre–Meiji Restoration, peasants/commoners formed their own schools to become educated because it was the best way of fighting tax fraud.

That is, when an official told you, a rice farmer, that you owed more taxes than you really did, it was very useful if you were good enough at math to know he was lying (and could prove it) and if you were good enough at writing to write a letter to your government defending your case.

all of which is to say it's crazy that mega-corporations are now pushing education to be "what if you paid us whatever we tell you to for the rest of your life and never do math or write anything ever again"

nature documentary about a trans girl and the narrator is both clearly crushing on her and mildly disapproving of her life choices

[hemipenal-system]

yeah, it’s that

“like many human females, the girl starts her day by bathing- nope she’s skipping that and going for a hunt. her preferred prey this morning is… reheated pizza from last night. sure girl it’s your life. it looks like the girl is opening factorio instead of doing her dishes. she needs to be a dedicated housekeeper or else her den will be invaded by ants. still, the girl chooses to play video games.”

my personal take on the matter

T. Kingfisher - What Stalks the Deep

Same book, this is the character's explanation for why they leave to go to America on a vague telegram from a friend that sounds like they're definitely going to die.

today someone asked me what my favorite even-toed ungulate is… god, who could decide?

[hungwy]

this was ignorant of me to post. of course its the muskox

[hungwy]

and here comes my favorite boy…

[weaselle]

okay. some of you must surely be getting tired of seeing me say this but i literally cannot help myself- THAT IS AN ICE AGE GOAT. THAT CAN GET TO BE 800lbs BIG.

we called them musk-ox because we thought they must be some kind of cow thing, but they are actually a goat thing; this is to a normal wild goat what a woolly mammoth is to a normal elephant, only these things survived.

and i absolutely cannot help myself because of the tizzy my brain goes into over the twin facts of

1: ice-age megafauna that is still alive! and

2: EIGHT HUNDRED POUND GOAT

you can see the goatishness a little more in their babies

i just, i am crazy over the fact that these guys are still alive on our planet

[pukicho]

I am genuinely so apologetic for this but it would be a betrayal to myself not to say that I’ve had the biggest crush on you forever. Anyway . Carry my love with you, Puki

I could be a 3-inch tall sewer elf for all you know.

[dr-mac-n-tosh]

No…. Stop… you’ll make me fall too…

Meet me in the tunnel

[prokopetz]

The wizard down the street got sick of rivals dropping giant rocks on them to circumvent their Anti-Magic Field, and decided to invent an Anti-Physics Field instead. We're not sure what happened next, on account of nobody who looks at the affected area can remember what they saw, but there's probably a research paper in it if anyone figures it out.

This piece was made for the Queer Culture Club's winter quarterly, the theme of which was "Gravegoods."

Additional commentary within the quarterly, written by Red Angus, says "There are a surprising number of ancient preserved bodies, especially including the mummies of ancient Egypt. These bodies give enormous information about their times and cultures, and the objects, clothing, and other artifacts cast a light back into a pre-dawn darkness. Here are some starting points for further research:

iceman.it for info on Otzi, a person older than the pyramids, whose tattoos follow acupuncture lines still used today! Found in the Alps between Austria & Italy.

penn.museum has a good article on Inca child-sacrifice mummies, who like Otzi were preserved by their altitude.

museumsilkeborg.dk has lots of good info on Tollund Man, an iron age sacrifice found preserved in a peat bog.

The artist also recommends 'The Prehistory of Sex,' a book by Timothy Taylor."

abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn't be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao

[jaimeroyalrobertson-deactivated]

i hope it's okay to add this because i think it hits the nail directly on the head

[dsudis]

Honestly, it's like picking up a book and saying "I know all these words, I can type, I could have written this" like there's no middle step between the technical ability and the finished work.

[mansmarvellouslight]

this is funnier to me that just posting the screenshots w the names you’re welcome

[swordmaid]

it’s my birthday and i get to have a wyves sketch based on a screenshot from 1981 excalibur as a little treat

I kinda wish Adaar and Cadash Inquisitors could romance Cullen. Like Yeah the other two are lovely, but I think Cullen deserves a tall buff mercenary gf. or a short queen who may or may not be a former criminal. Cmon Bioware give me something good here.
