@digitaldiscipline is an instigator and sent me the Feetza image so I had to try making my own version. They aren't as elegant or realistic as the original but they came out WILDLY better than I expected.

[ID: five pictures total. The first is a screengrab of a chat where digitaldiscipline has sent me a meme showing a flatbread sculpted to look like a foot and captioned "Feetza". I reply that I'm going to have to make one. The next three images are progress photos of the "right" foot, first plain, then with red sauce and cheese and pepperoni but not cooked, and finally fully baked. The last image shows both Feetzas, the left one with pesto sauce instead of red sauce, looking footlike but also delicious. THEY WERE.]

What is your favorite animal tidbit about the denizens of Lake Baikal?

actually my favorite thing about Baikal is the lake itself!

viewed from above, it looks like nothing particularly special. sure, it’s a big lake, but it doesn’t have the surface area of the Great Lakes or the Caspian Sea, right?

WRONG!

BOOM.

see, Lake Baikal really isn’t a lake at all, it’s a deep rent in the earth’s crust called a Rift Valley that just happened to get water in it. and the Baikal rift is one of the deepest and narrowest on earth, making this deceptively placid lake slightly over a MILE deep! that’s bonkers nutso.

like, you think the OCEAN is bad, just imagine being in a little fishing boat on this thing without realizing just how far away the bottom is....

These are described in the Louvre catalog as headless figurines or dolls, which I do feel buries the lede that they’re also fuckin ripped. 

[ID: Two small figurines carved out of ivory; both depict bodies with no heads, and one is missing lower arms while the other appears to be missing lower legs. On the left is a clearly more “feminine” doll with wide thighs and rounded chest; on the right is a doll with a square chest and thighs, though clearly they are along the same design aesthetic. Both have lines indicating abs and thick musculature in the shoulders and thighs.]

My mind is a confusing place

My mind is pretty awesome at making up really weird dreams - mostly they’re just weird. Not exactly nice, but not bad either. But they can also be nice / still weird but nice anyway.

Sometimes I can pretty easily tell which particular experience or conversation sparked certain parts of the dream. Other times I’m just baffled about the way my brain works.

Last night was the second kind because for some reason I’ve dreamt about meeting  @digitaldiscipline . Not intentionally, we just kinda went to the same place and later realized we know each other from Tumblr.

I don’t know about real you, but I have to say, dream you was very pleasant to meet :)

new follower of yours because i've seen a frinktillion reblogs of your stuff lately and you seem nifty. anyways, there is a very large and handsome rooster that has been wandering around my neighborhood this week, and i have entirely failed to get a picture of it for you, but i will remain vigilant for the opportunity.

He sounds lovely and don’t worry about the picture- chickens are Fast and Sneaky and Very Hard To Photograph.  If you get a picture of him I’d love to see it!

digitaldiscipline replied to your photo “Someone has Opinions on the scene we’re working on…”

"Mom, where's the scene where [character] bargains with [character] in that new short you dropped on your sponsors?" (I *may* be projecting after staying up past my bedtime last night to read it.)

Bargains, like sex, are public only if all participants prefer it that way.

(besides, if I TOLD you the price, you wouldn’t have to think about it, after.)

unpopular opinion: "firefly" was never any good

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

Okay. Okay, I have. a lot of thoughts. I’m sorry. And I’m never going to be able to do them all justice because I want to be able to spend the rare few hours of coolish weather on something slightly more important than debating firefly.Here’s the thing, it’s very difficult to disagree with this completely, because the episodes were never correctly aired. And there’s still some debate as to the order they’re supposed to be watched in. However. I definitely disagree. Firefly was good; it had interesting characters, and an interesting setup. And it deserved so much better than it got. And it was never going to get the so much better because honestly the writers it had were never going to be capable of giving it sustainable quality through further seasons. And honestly that’s a fucking tragedy because while it definitely had issues - as everything does - there was so much potential for Firefly to be a lot more than just good, a lot of potential for it’s characters to really grow and change, and a lot of potential for it to be a lot more than science fiction’s sad dead space western that everyone periodically cries about.Have you seen Serenity? Watch Serenity. Maybe that’ll help.
