hey whats with that sign
If a Minotaur design is just a bull’s head on a fully human body, I tend to think that’s more visibly monstrous than versions that try to incorporate more cow elements into the design.
Like if your Minotaur looks like this:
It’s less visibly human, but it looks more cohesive. By incorporating bovine elements throughout its design, it looks biologically stable. It looks like it evolved into this or was designed with intention. It looks like it’s supposed to look like this.
If your Minotaur looks like this:
Uh Oh that’s a kindergarten craft glued together and forsaken by the gods. This is the result of the mad tinkerings of chaos. It looks like it was thrown together with scraps of what was left lying around. It Will Kill You Or It Will Explode Because Of Poor Engineering
Yesterday I was looking through my bead because I wanted to do some bracelets or charms for PHM since, as you know, I am currently obsessed. And I found these two bags of natural looking beads I bought ages ago:
And obvioulsy my first thought was It's Rocky and Adrian!
So I got to work. First I made a Rocky charm for the big project I was cooking up:
(It is an interpretation, okay? I know you have to be very imaginative to get it. I wanted to mix both the book and the movie designs into one but I had the resources I had and this is what came out, but I love him anyway)
But then I indulged myself and made tiny rocky and tiny adrian to put on my shelf and guys... They are just so freaking cute!
I love them so much I might actually cry!
I cried watching Project Hail Mary btw
Love that this alien arm is clearly just green bubblewrap. 70s prosthetics I love you
Classic SF once again betrayed by a clear, static-free signal and a flat digital screen
This is how I remember classic Who and Star Trek, folks, with signal ghosts and scanning lines (but usually with more static/snow)
Sharing this on my main because it appears from the notes that it's useful for some modern viewers.
You KNOW classic SF used the limited displays of CRT television and the static of transmitted signals the way theaters use stage makeup and lighting to make inexpensive props look great fine— take advantage of the medium! But it's hard to imagine how it looked if you've only seen Blu-ray HD restorations.
I swear to you, despite classic Who using bubble wrap for years as one of its go-to materials that reflected light in interesting ways, we never realized that's what it was.
List of things Indians think of as desi but are actually Mexican in origin:
Chilli peppers. Yes even naga chillies. Yes even the red kashmiri chillies. If it isn't from the Piper nigrum or Piper longum plants, its not from the subcontinent, sorry folks.
Marigolds. Everyone is aghast when I tell them this but marigolds are very very Mexican and came over in the Colombian exchange . Yes I know they're in every event and they're used religiously. No I have no clue how a religion as ancient-scripture-focused as hinduism adopted a foreign flower so quickly. Don't as me. All i know is that when Mexicans find out we've been decorating wedding altars with this flower they have some VERY mixed feelings.
Tomatoes. My father refuses to believe me on this one but it is also a columbian exchange plant
Corn of all varieties. This one specifically for my Punjabis. I know we love our makki di roti but yall. Yall we don't even nixtamalize it. We are doing corn wrong. There is however debate on whether this came over in the columbian exchange because there is certain evidence suggesting the presence of corn in the Indian subcontinent before that....nothing proven tho.
List of things that Mexicans think of as Mexican but are actually Indian:
Agua de Horchata (75%). Cinnamon is from the Indian subcontinent. The dairy cattle most popular in Mexico descend from the variety domesticated in India (we domesticated cattle twice, once in the subcontinent and once in Europe, which is why you have the cows with the humps and the cows with the classic patches. They're different but very similar). Sugar was first crystalized in India (sugarcane itself was domesticated all over the place). Water doesn't count as an ingredient so that's 3 out of 5 ingredients that are desi.
Tamarind. May be native to Africa but it was domesticated in India, so I'm calling dibs. While we're here I'm also gonna call dibs on Agua de Tamarindo. Its literally just Imli Sharbat. All the ingredients are Indian anyways.
Mangoes. Don't think this one is a surprise to anyone but yes those are ours :) you're welcome world
Limes. Native to the Indian subcontinent! Mexico and India are the largest global producers of limes actually, isn't that so fascinating?
Hibiscus! We love your flower and you love ours. Funny how that works.
I just think its really cool that so much of what both cultures consider intrinsic to their food systems today is borrowed from a similar but different culture from the opposite side of the globe. Also, while we're here
List of things that both cultures evolved without any apparent communication:
Oxidized silver jewellery. Tribal jewellery in both parts of the world seems to love the beaten silver look. Bonus points if it has turquoise
Cowrie shells. To be fair this one seems to be pretty damn global. Idk why everyone universally decided this snail looked like money but apparently it just do. But not all cultures retain the obsession/reverence for the shell. We do.
Feasts for the dead. You have a festival where you make a bunch of food for your ancestors? We have a festival where we make a bunch of food for our ancestors! Fun stuff
Handlebar mustaches. 100% believe that if you leave a group of bearded men from each of these cultures alone in a room with no common language they would come out best friends. Power of the 'stache.
Masks. Big colorful painted masks, often made of wood, often kinda scary looking (but not always). Used in dances but ALSO used to watch/guard homes and doorways and the like. We default to this big toothed angry looking guy. I believe Mexico prefers a jaguar looking thing? I'm a bit fuzzy on the details
Fried Dough Container With Pre-Cooked Filling. Samosa? Empanada? They're cousins. Yes they fall into the larger dumpling family but Pre Cooked Filling is an important differentiator here.
Flatbread With Veggies And Meat And Sauces. Look the only difference between the taco and any roti dish is how you're getting the ingredients into your mouth. I said what I said.
Big Bowl Of Fruit With Seasoning and Sauces. Fruit salad? Fruit chaat? chaat masala gets replaced with tajin, chamoy becomes tamarind chutney, same same but different.
Artworks Of Native Big Cats Eating Colonizers. Ok so this one isn't Mexican its Colombian but it deserves an honorary mention, so. Fans of Misionero Comido Por Tigre by Noé León, I would like to introduce you to the automaton of a tiger mauling a British soldier, complete with screaming noises, commissioned by Tipu Sultan. You can see it in action here
one laundry night they definitely start discussing how many Earth-named constellations are based on Greek myths, and then that definitely brings up the Odyssey (and how it relates to their current journey to Erid), and they spend the next week or so spinning tales and having Mary read the poem aloud and Rocky makes miniatures so Grace can act it out

It’s Chocolate Syrup Saturday!
dog i gotta move like yesterday
Please stay
if I wrote a dystopian novel where the corrupt evil megacorporation that controls society has a fucking smirk for a logo, my editor would tell me to use a less heavy-handed metaphor
and yet
I love this because if I were to write a literary novel in the Western cannon that described the image of an apple with a chunk bitten off, any high school English student would tell you it is a Bible reference meant to represent the source of all evil and downfall of humanity and YET
Today I discovered that melting ice makes a sound— it cracks, pops, fizzes and hisses like demonic Rice Krispies. Apparently it has to do with pressurized air bubbles and fractures from expansion, but this leads to a question which National Geographic already answered for me:
Which is similarly heavy handed but also extremely freaking metal
Please stop being nonbinary too. God only created one gender. You must conform to that.
THERES ONLY ONE NOW?????
The scene in Shrek 2 when the Fairy Godmother sings I need a Hero when the giant gingerbread man attacks the castle is still the greatest scene in cinema of all times
1) any stretching is better than no stretching
2) any vegetable is better than no vegetable
3) statistically you will never be the worst person at anything, there is always someone in the world who is worse at stuff than you are

Learning that Pokemon Go was using user data to build model of the world that was then being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning system for the newest generation of military drones has been incredibly heartbreaking. The more details that come out the more disturbed I become.
While this article is a lot more pro-military than I'd prefer (though unsurprising given the source) it still gives a pretty good summary of the situation.

A snippet:
Like so many people, one of my fondest memories was Pokemon Go with my friends in Summer 2016. This feels like a betrayal.
