Fish bag sample for classes this spring/summer

[mothssmeat]

instantly enamoured with this bag so decided to make a similar one! i thought the drawstring looked a litlte like barbels, and so I modeled mine loosely on a redtail catfish!

I'd meant to make the mouth opening a little larger than it turned out, but I can still fit my whole forearm in there so I'm pleased.

[florad0ra]

!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! the inverted weave from the belly for the eye is so nice!! It's so Textured, and your drawstrings are so cute (mine are... an old shoelace sjgkhl)

after finishing this one I cut like 2 dozen more and have assembled half so far, whatever I don't sew will become precut+pattern kits (which I'm writing I promise! but I still need to workshop some parts of the assembly I think could be made easier)

(BUT in the meantime while I don't have a pattern i heavily referenced an instructional video, which I link in this ask!!)

[the-villa-amnesia]

exquisite. Thanks for posting this, this one's mine

I would definitely add a few fins on the bottom if I made it again, but the side fins are pockets and it has a zippered pouch on the underside. If any body wants a tutuorial or pattern, just ask!

If your business can only be reached and all info about it only be accessed via Facebook or Instagram, know that it isn’t reachable or accessible AT ALL.

The whole metaverse can no longer be properly viewed without an account and I am definitely not making one just to see your contact info or opening hours.

Get a fucking WEBSITE. It can be just a static landing page with the relevant information. But get off the metaverse!

I think this might be one of the most incredible, unsettling and symbolic photos of today’s America I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop looking at it. It’s perfect.

If ur a US based academic I bet if u could write a good enough grant application u could convince the current government to give you a bunch of money to look for Atlantis or the kingdom of Prester John or something

[natalieironside]

Now is a great time to take an exciting overseas vacation on Uncle Sam's dime. U can even write about it after, be like "We gave it the ol college try but we still didn't find Atlantis, leading further further support to the consensus that it don't even real" and it'll piss them off soooo bad but that's still doing science abt it so 🤷‍♀️

[natalieironside]

We could start some sort of a parapsychology foundation where we conduct laboratory tests of hermetic ritual magic, which is to say we get paid to make scientists act in little skits for our and others' amusement

[natalieironside]

We could go in search of the legendary cinnamon bird

The amount of confidence oozing from this dude

[jumpingjacktrash]

i re-watched it several times, looking for what he does differently. finally i spotted it. look at the line of motion in his strike. it’s not especially fast, he doesn’t wind up more than the others, and it’s not a matter of strength – the guy who knocked over the stand probably put more muscle into it. but there’s a unity of movement he has that the others lack. his body and sword are all one curve. everything moves at once along the same line.

from a physics perspective, that means all the force he’s applying is concentrated at the point of contact between his sword’s edge and the target, and it moves at just the speed that breakage propogates through the material. too slow and it wouldn’t have enough force; too fast and he’d get ahead of the break, shoving the target over instead of cutting it.

from a writing perspective, that means that i should focus on describing a master swordsman’s smoothness more than their strength or speed, and can also have witnesses be confused at the effectiveness of strikes that don’t actually seem all that fast.

Martial arts are all about physics, my karate sensei is has a mechanic/physics diploma and he loves to explain the biomechanics of human body and how this was turned into fight via martial arts. It’s a very good way to teach. The sword master has a larger stance of the feet, much more than the others, allowing his barycenter to lower and thus giving more stability. This, united with the movement of the sword that follows the angle of his body increases the power of the blow without actually using too much muscle strength. Pretty sure he’s also just tending (not contracting) the muscles under the armpits, near the rib cage, the serratus anterior. That makes a huge difference.

What was most interesting to me is size has no correlation to success for any of the people.

what news sources do you use?

i get all my information exclusively from dreams

[godlessondheimite]

jeff goldblum is the type of guy who gets mistaken for gay because he’s jewish. nathan lane is the type of guy who gets mistaken for jewish because he’s gay. stanley tucci is the type of guy who gets mistaken for gay because he’s a mild-mannered italian, which is jewish. seth meyers gets mistaken for jewish because of everything about him. zachary levi gets mistaken for jewish because everyone wants him dead. tom cruise gets mistaken for gay because he is.

an interest passing feels like being abandoned by the evil spirit that had taken possession of your body

[s-aint-elmo]

pulling out hanks of grass and sighing listlessly. i kind of miss being posessed. isn't there an evil spirit somewhere that wants to possess meeee

[yellow-cat]

the reason that wounds that break the skin hurt is because its always supposed to be dark inside your body and when your blood sees sunlight for the first time it gets scared. and that causes the pain. or maybe it doesnt

men will say “princess treatment ❤️” and then it’s just how i normally treat the cashier at the store
