Rapper Macklemore posts on Instagram a song in support of Palestine called “HIND’S HALL” that will be on streaming platforms soon and all proceeds will go to UNRWA

this quote from hbomberguy’s plagiarism video really resonated with me:

“creative people have trouble recognising their skills as skills, because eventually they feel like second nature. […] this stuff really is valuable. if it wasn’t, people wouldn’t be stealing it. creativity doesn’t feel special or unique until you realise people have to plagiarise it”

your craft is and always will be valuable, please never let anyone make you doubt that

vampires have been drinking human blood for centuries they don't give a fuck about guys on eight different antidepressants. they were sucking on asbestos factory workers

[sadpearonmars]

The absolutely hilarity of imagining some older vampires hectoring younger ones. “Back in my day, I had to drink blood with radium in it and I liked it! We glowed in the damn dark for weeks!”

You kids have no idea how easy you have it these days. "Oh last week I mixed someone on fluoxetine with someone on tramadol" boo-hoo, you know what they used to decorate houses with? Arsenic! Fucking arsenic! Oh they knew it was poison but it was such a lovely colour - now I'm as much for impractical aesthetics as the next person who sleeps in a decorative coffin but I saw it, it's just green. Green! They willingly poisoned themselves and me for green wallpaper!

You know what lead poisoning is? Nor did humans for fucking ages, they just thought the constipation was an imbalance of the humours and you know what they took for it? Mercury. Mercury! You know what they did for mercury poisoning? More fucking mercury! After a hundred years in London you can use your uncle Jerry like a thermometer!

Tramadol, gimme a break, used to be they'd take heroin for a cough. Didn't stop the cough but you'd be amazed what maladies you don't care about with your blood full of heroin. Definitely took the edge off the fucking arsenic...

Please give evidence beyond “I hate them” or “I like sleeping in” or “I have to get up early”, none of which is actual evidence

[princecharmingtobe]

Night person who needs to see a doctor/get your car worked on/go to the bank/buy groceries, etc? You're gonna have to sacrifice sleep for it. Because for some reason it was decided that most places of business should open in the morning and close in the evening. Fewer and fewer places are 24/7. Wanna go for a nice stroll in the park? Tough shit, they close at sundown. Hell, want to just go for a walk in general? Fair chance of being harassed by the cops because being out and about in the dark is "suspicious" behavior. Want something that's not fast food and don't want to/can't cook for yourself? Best we can do is a diner like Denny's or IHOP. Got a loved one in the hospital you want to visit between work and sleep? Either gotta get up early or stay up late to meet visiting hours.

And let's not forget, no matter how little you actually sleep and how much you actually get done, if you're not awake during certain hours it means you're a lazy good-for-nothing. Express a desire for more places open 24/7? Selfish and entitled. Complain about how noisy your neighbors are during your sleep hours? Well you can't expect the world to tiptoe around you. But also you'd better keep it down at night because other people are sleeping!

But don't worry! There are plenty of guides on how to "fix" your sleep schedule out there! You just have to follow a strict, often disruptive routine that you can never stray from even a little or else you'll fall back to your natural sleep schedule lazy, undisciplined ways.

And at that, good luck finding a job that doesn't expect you to be in by 9 AM at the latest. Which means getting up at 7:30 AM at the latest, earlier if you have a commute. Which means getting to bed at 11:30 PM at the latest.

Which means night owls have a straight choice between self-employment/freelance work, with all its insecurities, or constant self-torture. (Oh yeah, sleep deprivation does count as torture, per the UN.)

I've done second and third shift work most of my life. My partner and I are naturally inclined to it. We sleep best in the early morning and are most productive after 9pm.

When we lived in california and had access to 24/7 grocery stores it was great. I would get out of work at 1:30am and stop by the mostly empty grocery store and quietly pick up my groceries, unstressed and easy. When we moved back to New England, with its deep-rooted protestant work culture, we both worked 2nd shift jobs but everything closed between 6 and 8pm. So we would get out of work and no restaurants would be open, Grocery stores closed HOURS ago, gas stations would be closed (except for the really expensive ones), and many places had a curfew, so we were just stuck at home. because of our schedule and the fact that the entire region was run by people who regularly wake up at 5am and are going to sleep before sundown, it meant that we had to carefully plan out our grocery trips. We had to waste an entire weekend day of ours getting all of our shopping and errands and groceries done for the week (often in incredibly overcrowded and overstimulating stores, and it all took way longer because of lines) and make sure we didnt miss anything, because we wouldn't be able to get anything until the next weekend. There just wasn't enough time before work with our commute. There was a lot to dislike about california, but the fact that they had ANY provisions for late nighters made our lives a lot less stressful.

Living in a place that has no consideration for late night workers at all is borderline torturous. And theres always a lot more late nighters than you think. Jobs don't stop needing to be done just because you wake up at 5am and go to bed at 8 or whatever. Construction, manufacturing, commercial delivery, food production, emergency crews, travel crews, night staff at public utilities. These people all deserve your respect and the support you are given as a morning person. You morning people really do not understand how good you have it. How easy your ilfe is when the entire world you live it revolves around and caters to you. Don't take it for granted. And next time you see your neighbor coming home at 7am and cracking open a beer after a long nights work, maybe shut the fuck up about it and mind your business alright?

I don’t remember why I drew this. But it sure is Shiro! He’s being shy.

[crossroadart-seabear]

Either he’s gonna get whatever it is off his chest then and there, or he’s gonna be limply lifted and flopped over Rowans back so they can cover some ground till he’s good any ready to vent.

There really is only the second option. And they both know it.

My links, cause you survived the week and now get to waste time as a treat, by looking at things and imagining a world where u can buy them.

[crossroadart-seabear]

Look, a fush.

My links, I promise it won’t make anymore sense in here either. But, you know, some people like mystery and shit.

[crossroadart-seabear]

Go now. Before the mist clears.

My links. I’d be both amazed and impressed if you found the answers to your questions there. Like, it’s possible, just not easy.

[crossroadart-seabear]

Hello! I have just discovered your art, and I wanted to tell you that while it is technically brilliant, with wonderfully dynamic poses, gorgeous color and linework, etc., what I find most compelling is how clear it is that each piece and each character has a *story* and makes me want to learn those stories.

Thank you for sharing your work with us! I'll be investigating your store and Patreon soon!

Mate!

Thank you so much for saying all this. You sent this ages ago and I wanted to reply but I’m in the midsts of some cover work and figuring out what I’m going to print for my $10 patron rewards; as a result a record amount of ✨nothing✨ is getting done 😂.

But this ask meant a lot, because more than any of the foundational techniques, which I hugely value, I priorities my desire to tell stories.

There are some artists out there that have the ability to create works that send me into a state of deep and stimulating daydream. No drug will make me trip harder than truly engaging character art. Of any medium. To be perfectly honest this experience is a rare one for me but, when it does hit, it’s probably one of my favourite states of being.

I’d love to give other people that high too and to be frank I’m often also trying to create it for myself.

not so long ago there was this "dragon your train" trend where people were turning trains into tragons and i had to dragonify (although it went more into the centipede direction) my favourite cringefail (affectionate) train which is EN57 aka Kibel Heres them performing an rp1 signal!!! (volume warning trains be loud)

i think its the most cringefail train ever, the word kibel is a word thats between "toilet" and "shitter" because due to a design flaw the smell from the toilets would spread throughout the entire train but THANKFULLY due to another design flaw the windows were untight and the smell could escape,,, cancelling one design flaw with another design flaw... I love them and theyre still the most widely used trains in poland and will be at least until 2046

[normal-internet-weirdo]

@amtrak-official , What is your take on this failure of a train that somehow cancelled out it's failure with another failure?

Also do you see this increase in dragon trains as a prophecy of the future? I believe this may be a sign of evolution. The new wave of train is here and it is beautiful.

[queer-as-city-folk]

Pretty cool, would be better if people dragonified my trains
