Dummy Feral

nothing worse than when the premise of something captivates you but then it sucks ass. bro you put this idea out into the world and you didn't even do it a shred of justice

the girls are fightingggggg [readjusts my glasses, squinting] by god… it appears i was mistaken. they're…my goodness…by god

the circus was in town that day 🤡

happy lesbian visibility week to them

died and i came back normal. more normal than before even. such a regular guy it’s freaking everyone out. i’m ironing my shirts & doing the sunday paper crossword puzzle and the people i love won’t stop crying

Lmao how is this real, "the ambient sounds of the world were wrong, sir"

Imagine paying Columbia-amounts of money to be taught by someone with kindergarten-level art literacy. Like, motherfucker, the wholeass point of 4’33” is to emphasize how every performance of live music is inextricably linked to the ambient sounds of the context in which it is performed!!!!!!! Paying attention to and thinking about the context of the performance is the point of the song!!!! If the point was to hear birds chirping and people walking, John Cage would have fucking recorded that instead. Insisting that art is only good when contains good things and makes you feel good things is baby-level art criticism. How the fuck is this dude a professor.

Actually I’m not done going off yet. This pisses me off so much. How can you teach the humanities and be so obstinately ignorant? Like bruh, if the chanting outside makes you feel uncomfortable and upset, maybe you should take about four and a half minutes to contemplate why you feel that way. During that time, you might consider things such as: why are there students chanting? What are they protesting? Why do they feel so strongly about this issue that they’re willing to disrupt their lives to bring attention to it? Should I also feel as strongly? Should I be protesting with them? Is my desire for silence more important than the students’ desire for justice? Why do I find the noise they’re making more upsetting than the genocide they’re protesting?

Being like “loud noise make me angy 😠” is so fundamentally incurious and baby-brained it’s honestly unbelievable

BELDAM IS NOW TRANSPHOBIC IN THE ENGLISH LOCALIZATION

THIS MEANS VIVIAN'S TRANSNESS IS CANON IN ENGLISH FOR THE FIRST TIME

WE WON

I never thought I'd be happy for a game to include transphobia in it, but here we are I guess

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off

why small kittens are always either the most pathetic or the most evil creature you've ever seen

The US military emitted 640 times as much CO2 as Taylor Swift last year

the entire US military. only 640x worse? holy fuck. the US military employs. more than 640 people. either this is wrong or taylor is on some next level shit

thx for checkin @d-i-r-k-s-t-r-i-d-e-r

i'll point out the US military still employs more than roughly 6000 people

The US military employs about 2.86 million people worldwide. That means they generated about 17 tonnes of emissions per person, a figure substantially smaller than Swift's alone

In fact, you might say that Taylor Swift has personally generated the emissions of 465 members of one of the world's largest polluters. I wouldn't say that remotely absolves her

beastly reminder

Almost. Years ago my computer suddenly stopped working and lost everything on it. Fortunately a relatively recent backup still existed bc of my family, a recent parts switch, and dumb luck. But last year a friend of mine got hacked and lost close to everything he had done creatively in the last 17-ish years. Art. Novels in progress. Entire conlangs. DnD character Sheets. Music he had made. All gone. He never backed any of it up. Few months later I started this habit (or ritual, almost) of drawing a reminder beast any time I would make a full complete backup. In hopes that seeing these things might remind others and myself. (Another factor here is that I am an animator and some of the stuff on my computer took literal years to make. And the film university I go to urges us to take this stuff seriously, too.)

If you have a dedicated back-up drive, leave it connected to your computer and set it to run a daily back-up. If your computer moves around a lot and that’s not feasible, then have a place where you put your computer every night and leave the drive there, plug it in, and have it run a back-up as you’re getting ready for bed.
