Sharing this because I had NO IDEA that this is how they worked… 

I did but it is still super cool to see it close up in such great detail.

There’s something of the obscene about this.

it's so cute to me that gift wrapping is an ancient human custom. for thousands of years we have ceremonially made nice little bundles to present to each other, and we have decorated them and ensured that they're neat and careful to communicate the care with which we think of the recipient. and for thousands of years we have been made curious by the concealment of the gift, and been surprised and delighted by the act of uncovering what's inside. we are such simple creatures. we are so thoughtful. we are so cute.

I learned this by googling the historical accuracy of a line in a porn game i'm editing. anyway,

writing porn is also an ancient human custom

At first I was impressed then I decided that this person was the worst kind of person

“That’s a pretty nifty style you’ve got there!  I can tell you’ve been practicing it quite a bit, considering the imprints in the paper, but that just goes to show that-wait…oh, you son of a bitch.”

this calligraphy channel is amazing because their cats constantly try to interfere, like these cats are just laser focused on annihilating every project the person tries to do

you can certainly enjoy these without sound but the sound effects are killing me

These are exactly the correct cat sound effects.

and all that glitters is gold

This piece of Arabic Calligraphy depicts a horse using the text of Mahmoud Darwish’s poem Take My Horse and Slaughter It. The poem is written exactly once, beginning in the head of the horse and finishing in the tail in the Arabic Calligraphy Diwani Jali. The title of the poem, along with the author’s name, is written in the bottom right of the piece.

Take My Horse and Slaughter It

By Mahmoud Darwish

You, and not my craze with conquest, are my wedding. I left to myself and its match in your devil self the freedom to comply with your demands, take my horse and slaughter it, and I will walk like a warrior after defeat without dream or sense … Salaam upon what you desire of fatigue for the captive prince, and of gold for the maidens to celebrate the summer. And salaam upon you abounding with suitors of every jinn and man, for what you’ve done to yourself for yourself: your hairpin breaks my shield and my sword, and your shirt button bears in its glare the secret word of birds of every sort, take my breath the way a guitar responds to what you demand of the wind. All of my Andalus is within your hands, so don’t leave a single string for self-defense in the land of my Andalus. I will realize, in another time, I will realize that I have won with my despair and that I have found my life, over there outside itself, near my past take my horse and slaughter it, and I will carry myself dead and alive, by myself…
