Selling catnip of the highest quality at low low prices, just don't tell the po-po

the r/curatedtumblr -> tumblr migration is so funny to me. it's like going to the zoo and enjoying it so much you climb into the enclosure to live with the monkeys

this reply evokes such an incredible image in the mind’s eye

come on, man

artists think that non-creative fields are purely utilitarian and are confused when software engineers have a sense of humor

That's literally the kind of thing ai (algorithmic intelligence) should be used for. Finding Waldo is like the kindergarten drawings step to finding cancer.

The way people are turning on all automated systems and machines because they think "ai" always means the fake art stuff is further demonstrating that the majority of people are in fact stupid.

Here’s a video so you can hear the water and the thrushes. I took it for you because you couldn’t be there. <3

Sharing this again for anyone who could use a few seconds of peace and light today for whatever reason.

Ok since i saw this yesterday I have grown fascinated and gone on a deep dive. First of all, Kim Beaton invented that concrete-and-rubber-fibers stuff she mentions. It is called Pal Tiya Premium, and there is a whole youtube channel with all the information about how to mix it and use it. https://www.youtube.com/@PalTiya She makes a giant sculpture of The Great A'Tuin and Discworld with it!!!

Secondly, it cures in air alone, no oven or kiln required, and unlike clay it has microscopic shrinkage between wet and dry, so you can pack it around glass or whatever. When she says you can stand on this stuff, yes, you can (though for very large sculptures or very narrow sections of a sculpture, she recommends adding a metal armature for extra strength). It is impervious to water, so it can go outside in any weather, and any metal armature encased inside it won't rust

Additionally, Pal Tiya Premium can be added to at any point in the curing process, even weeks or months later, so you can make a sculpture in several pieces and, like with a mold, remove the foil core you sculpted on so you can use it again and again (though you have to add a sacrificial layer of foil between the core foil-sculpture and the Pal Tiya (see the videos on the youtube channel about it). You can color it with oxides, concrete stain, inks, or acrylics, including exterior-grade house paint so your sculptures can go outside.

Holy crap. My only question now is what am I going to make with this stuff, what do i need to have in my garden, aaaaaaa

HE’S FINE YOU GUYS 

(ask @spatialheather she told me so)

Good news, everyone!

I’m pretty sure those are ptarmigan tracks, not those of a rabbit who got scooped up by something! They’re birds that hop through the snow and then leave those snow-angel imprints when they take off.

I’d also honestly be kind of surprised if a predatory bird swooping down on a prey animal just left nice clean imprints like that and not a bigger disturbance in the snow.

Scariest costume ever!

I ended up coming up with an idea for something spooky, so I drew it. 

The wasp is Trogus vulpinus, a parasitoid of Papilio canadensis and other spp. 

Obviously, the wasp is not quite to scale, but for the purpose of the theme, drawing a giant one makes sense.

I hope everyone has a great Halloween on Tuesday!

Reblogging this one because it's that time of year!

Happy Halloween!

You know, if it spent its whole childhood floating blindly inside the caterpillar anyway, that wasp would've got to know the caterpillar's friend all the same, and who's to say it even differentiates itself as a separate being from its host at all? Who's to say it's NOT a continuation of the same entity on a philosophical level???
