Tonight as I walked with the dog, a firefly landed on my arm...

I miss these guys.

Saw a cool retro anime tutorial on twitter and wanted to try it, so I needed. Something. This came out. :)

If there was so much discourse over continents I CAN'T WAIT for you to find out about the south-up map

This is what the earth looks like btw

Ok stop answering to this post with "up and down don't matter in space" cause north and south are not up and down and their orientation doesn't matter on earth either. This is legit what the earth looks like.

Well somebody has a superiority complex. Go to a shrink or something idk

Just in case you're feeling important, our planet also looks like this:

"there's a very good reason we humans tend to draw north up maps" yeah, colonialism and eurocentrism. anyway south up rules

mapposting time post your favorite projections mine is the pierce quincuncial!!!

My favorite map of Earth

Oh I feel like I should be able to fold up the pierce quincuncial into a sort of ball

Waterman is clearly the best except it needs the origami gold lines

@elodieunderglass You might appreciate Jarke van Wijk's "Unfolding the Earth: Myriahedral Projections" (site, pdf)

I really like these, thank you. Although my first comment was tongue-in-cheek, I like origami and seaming and folding. These are very satisfying.

We love our new book train. It’s helping to quickly transport materials from the stacks beneath the Stephen A. Schwarzman upstairs to the researchers who need them!

At first I thought this was really cool. Then I watched it with sound. Morning made.

this audio is what i imagine in the background of @copperbadge’s daily life.

It’s true, this is the kind of tune that follows ambiently behind me when I’m Getting Stuff Done. They don’t even remark on it in Target anymore.

Experimenting with a bunch of stuff: soft pastels (love em), white markers, pastels, black brush pen, felt nib black pen.

Tons of fun, very messy. The pastel fixative dulled the soft pastel colours which is a shame, they were so bright orz
