Origin of the 30,000-year-old Venus of Willendorf discovered

The almost 11-cm-high Venus figurine from Willendorf (Austria) is one of the most important examples of early art in Europe. It is made of a rock called oolite that is not found in or around Willendorf. A research team led by the anthropologist Gerhard Weber from the University of Vienna and the two geologists Alexander Lukeneder and Mathias Harzhauser as well as the prehistorian Walpurga Antl-Weiser from the Natural History Museum Vienna have now found out with the help of high-resolution tomographic images that the material from which the Venus was carved likely comes from northern Italy. 

This sheds new light on the remarkable mobility of the first modern humans south and north of the Alps. The results currently appear in Scientific Reports. Read more.

you know, i love it when people say uuuuuh you know back in the olden days™ nudity was sooooooo taboo and people were S H O C K E D when they saw depictions of uncovered feet and i’m here like i wish early cinema would just beat us over the head with its big projectors and deliver us from our misery 

[rrrauschen]

i also like the fact that there isn’t even the possibility to have this reviewed while i’m still being followed by actual porn accounts on a regular basis. but what can i say. i’m still here ain’t i. :/

I had thought my previous post (now censored, sorry for how many I offended) would be my last, but I think this one is more appropriate

Although I started hating this platform over the past year (theft, phishing etc)… I cannot deny the connections I’ve made here.

I am incredibly busy this time of year, but I’m going to do my best to share some of my “female-presenting” nipples with you before it’s no longer an option.

The real slap in the face after the announcement of the female nipple ban is that I continue to get spam porn follows and likes... just with covered nips this time (but not always).

This was an odd example of an image I didn’t mind reblogging from a spam account I am moments away from blocking

goodbye?

as you, darling followers, are all no doubt aware, tumblr has made a decision to ban adult content as of december 17; a prohibition that will self-evidently include the photos of erect penises that are the bread and butter of this account. existing posts will be set to private mode, and any future posts will be automatically deleted. it seems that critique my dick pic is now over—at least in its current manifestation, on this sadly waning platform.

quite a few people have reached out to ask me how i’m feeling about the ban and whether i will move CMDP somewhere else. the answers, in reverse order, are that i don’t know yet, and that i’m feeling very emotional!

CMDP is over five years old; an eternity in blog years. i have written about my experience running it several times, and was even interviewed by a childhood hero of mine on the topic. the feedback about CMDP has always been overwhelmingly positive: readers told me i was running a hilarious and crucial public service, and people with dicks gratefully took up my advice. senders told me that the site helped them feel better about their bodies and that they appreciated its inclusive, anti-shaming ethos. a trans woman recently told me that CMDP was a small factor in her becoming comfortable enough to transition, which was one of the most heartwarming and humbling things i’ve heard.

this was a silly, tongue-in-cheek blog that took a faux-highbrow approach to dick pic photography and i don’t have delusions of grandeur about its significance, but it was often a vehicle for earnest discussions about consent, body image, gender identity, and being a decent sexual partner. it was a nice place on the internet, and nice places on the internet have become few and far between. i’m proud of CMDP, and i love the little community that has built up around it. 

i never introduced myself to most of you. i’m maddie! i’m a lawyer and writer currently based between berlin and new zealand, and you can keep in touch with me on twitter (@winningprotocol) and instagram (@winningprotocol) if you’d like to—please, please don’t send me dick pics there, though. i think i’ve had my fill of them forever. 

i don’t know what else to say! it’s the end of an era. it’s been an honour and a privilege to critique your dick pics.

Will this be flagged, Tumblr?? I guess I’ll find out soon enough….

[shadowscasted]

How to even tell if it is “female-presenting” in silhouette???
