honestly christianity really hit the jackpot with "jesus christ" rolling off the tongue as an expletive so well. the number one problem with fantasy settings is that whatever names you come up with to take in vain will never hit as well as "jesus christ"

this guy gets it!!!!! this is the kind of rock solid phonetic structural integrity you have to compete with!!!! and no amount of marika's tits or thal's balls or odin's beards will ever get close because with ol jeezy boy his name alone has all the features you need

what they don’t tell you about being an artist is that sometimes you will sit down and suddenly know how to draw something that youve never gotten right before

In case you need it for your D&D games or siege actions— here's what the ballistic trajectory of a flaming pumpkin fired out of a trebuchet looks like.

Actually, this is very helpful for visualizing a ballistic arc.

Right? I've already sent it to my math teaching friends. One occasionally brings in a tiny trebuchet for his class and this might encourage him to up his game.

specific parameters:

when exactly your teenage self gets this information is up to you, so long as they're your teenage self at the time.

your teenage self will learn the message and that it comes from you, their future self.

if it's something objectively true/false, they'll know it's true; if it's more subjective, they'll know you believe it's true based on your knowledge of the future; if it's advice, they'll know it's given in good faith based on your future life.

you need to decide NOW. no looking things up beforehand. (no sharing the winning lottery numbers unless you happen to have some memorized!)

you can combine things if they're really just parts of one big statement. so "You're genderfluid and your name is Adrian" is fine, but "move to California and invest in Facebook" isn't.

if your statement fits multiple categories, pick the one you think is the best overall fit.

In a monumental discovery for paleontology and the first of its kind "Mummy of a juvenile sabre-toothed cat Homotherium latidens from the Upper Pleistocene of Siberia"

Abstract The frozen mummy of the large felid cub was found in the Upper Pleistocene permafrost on the Badyarikha River (Indigirka River basin) in the northeast of Yakutia, Russia. The study of the specimen appearance showed its significant differences from a modern lion cub of similar age (three weeks) in the unusual shape of the muzzle with a large mouth opening and small ears, the very massive neck region, the elongated forelimbs, and the dark coat color. Tomographic analysis of the mummy skull revealed the features characteristic of Machairodontinae and of the genus Homotherium. For the first time in the history of paleontology, the appearance of an extinct mammal that has no analogues in the modern fauna has been studied.

I always knew it was possible, but I never dared to hope.

OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH LOOK AT THIS WE HAVE A SABERCAT MUMMY AAAAAAA

We now have concrete evidence for what saber-toothed kittens (well, at least one species) looked like in real life, and that can in turn help inform what the adults looked like!

To summarize the main points from the paper:

  1. Seems like they were dark brown, with longer fur on the neck and back than on the legs; some of the photos make the mummy look almost shaggy. I don't see any obvious spots or other patterning, but the muzzle and paws look to be a little lighter in colour.
  2. They had what seems to be a "moustache" of longer fur at the corners of their mouth (Or maybe "sideburns", more like a lynx; it's hard to tell from the photos, and the paper just says "In the region of the mouth corner, the hair is significantly elongated". It also looks to me like there's a bit of a beard going on in the chin region, but I can't say for sure).
  3. The ears were small and round, as would be expected from an animal from a cold climate. The nose was typically feline, but the upper lips were more than twice as long as a lion's, proportionally; maybe there's something to the "bulldog" hypothesis after all.
  4. The paws are short and rounded, with no carpal pad (wrist bean). The paper doesn't bring it up (and it might just be an artifact of preservation) but in the figure the toe beans look like they're covered in fur, like a lynx? I could be wrong, though. In any case, the shape and structure of the foot look like adaptations to walking on snow.
  5. Everything else about its proportions and muscle distribution was about what you'd expect based on the skeletons of the adults; powerfully built neck and arms,

In conclusion, this is the most exciting thing I've seen all year and I NEED to find the time to draw a mama Homotherium caring for her babies in the middle of winter

Anonymous asked:

this is going to sound really stupid, but i always thought that queer community meant this very public life, going out to gay places, parties, events, sex. which i have never been able to really participate in (chronically ill/disabled, poor, living in the sticks away from everything). i never considered that things like supporting each other through crap, helping them figure themselves out, navigate the system for resources, get HRT, just hang out together, having each other's back when nobody else has, even banding together so people keep a roof over their head and food to eat all fall under that too (given that my social circle is like... almost entirely not allocishet and has been like that for many years now).

which somehow today's substack made me realize lmao

yeah capitalism has done a number on people. they think community means paying a $25 cover for a club or going to a show for a pop artist. we are so cooked lol. community is just getting to know specific people, having them know you, and having their back.

Spooky season is the perfect time for some Witch Hat Atelier appreciation! I'm so excited for the 2025 anime release of this amazing manga that I drew Coco in her brim hat outfit~
