Stethacanthus, a shark-like cartilaginous fish from the Bear Gulch limestone

#sculpture #bear gulch #fish #stethacanthus #No good way to photograph this guy so it was time to Rotate Fish #I did something different for the skin on this one #put the epoxy clay on but it had a lot of tiny imperfections so I sanded it as smooth as I could get it #then sprayed it with textured spray paint #I think the effect is nice

Do you guys notice how when Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers union, started planning a general strike, he did it by a) targeting his messaging towards unions with the ability to safely and effectively strike in large numbers, b) laid out a clear, actionable plan for those unions to follow (setting contracts to all expire at the same time, since many unions cannot strike while under contract), c) is using union contracts to set clear, actionable demands that can be met in order to gauge success and provide an end goal, and d) started organizing FOUR YEARS before the proposed strike date to give people the chance to plan accordingly, because it takes a really freaking long time to get tens of millions of people organized?

You notice how he didn't do it by slapping a message on Twitter saying 'hey nobody go to work on Monday, that'll really show 'em'?

#those 'monday is a general strike stay home if you can!!!' posts are SO performative and they really annoy me #like. you MUST know you can't organize a general strike of tens of millions of people by sharing an infographic on twitter. Right?#don't even get me started on the most recent one that was like 'we understand the last strike only gave one day of notice'#'so this time we're giving you two! strike is on tuesday everyone don't forget!'#like GENUINELY was that supposed to be a joke #the linked article also touches on how difficult actual organizing a workplace is which is nice #because they mention previous failed attempts in which organizers basically just handed out leaflets #and assumed the benefits would be obvious. which i think is basically the equivalent of posting an infographic on twitter #which is to say - not effective at all. Organizing is a LOT of work! Running an effective union even more so!#labor rights

you’d think after 800 years he’d learn his lesson about taking afternoon naps. / prev comic / follow for more sleepy xie lian

#i think xie lian and hua cheng are sleep deprived for different reasons. xie lian does get sleepy at like 10pm #but prayers will often keep him up past then. or he’ll get up at 4 for similar reasons #hua cheng doesn’t need to sleep. he would never pass up an opportunity to cuddle but when xie lian isnt there #you can BET he’s working on a new sculpture for 8 hours straight #or reading. or managing his city. or painting. or taking care of black water’s fish. or any of the other 8 million things he excells at #i think they’d try to minimize the times they sleep apart though….. theyve both been alone for so long :(#i am a BIG believer in hualian naps. what a luxury yknow?? when youre touch starved and busy all the time?? i want these men COMFY #ALSO TUMBLR DESATURATED THIS TO HELL GRRRR IT HAD SUCH A NICE GOLDEN HOUR EFFECT #tgcf #art #comic #tian guan ci fu #hualian #xie lian #hua cheng #san lang #hob #heaven official's blessing #tgcf fanart #天官赐福 #mxtx #my art #lmao #tgcf meme

I don't think I ever posted this Teba illustration I did for a sword-themed BotW zine some years ago. It was so hard to make the wing grip on the sword look good -_-'

#botw #totk #teba #teba botw #rito #i also felt the need to justify -why- teba would even use the edge #hence the broken falcon bow #also im thinking about going back to this strong black mignola-esque shadows #its a style that comes very easy to me and im in a bit of a slump lately #it'd be nice to have Effects

collapses on the floor and Dies

#lmao like a 13 hour day for me with added effect of some. borderline hostile community interactions #their concern was highly valid it just still didnt feel nice to be on the opposite end of that (from a personal standpoint not professional #knowing that i literally can't provide the resources they want/need. both as a systematic legal barrier and a 'i dont have millions of $$'#and that i wasnt even born yet when the thing in question happened....#my much more experienced coworker diffused the situation and we had a more constructive conversation going forward #where i think everybody left the event feeling like we could do something #but it was uhhh wild there for a little bit #im tired. i gotta go do it all again tomorrow and thursday.

post order 66 codywan governed by irrationality. cody is irrationally angry that obi wan didn’t look for him. even when he rationally knows that obi wan didn’t know he was alive, or even his reasons for staying on tatooine. obi wan is sometimes irrationally scared that cody might try to kill him again, even when he rationally knows that he is not the same man who tried the first time. does he fear that if this happens he might be forced to kill cody to protect luke and all he represents? or does he fear that he’d be unable to do this, that ultimately his love for cody would win over his loyalty to luke (to anakin)? does he fear being forced to choose? is cody guilty that he’s hiding whilst his brothers fight? that he failed to protect them earlier and now he’s failing them again?

#yeah fluff is nice but what if they were both irreparably effected by their experiences #i think this is also worse ? better ? if cody was a purge trooper as he often is in these fics #don’t get me wrong i love the fluffy reconnection on tatooine as much as the next person but recently i’ve been having thoughts #codywan #star wars #also wrote this is my drafts at like midnight so if it’s not too coherent my apologies

Ben Glenroy & his weakness

#omitbedit #omitb spoilers #omitb s3 #only murders in the building #eating cw #Ben Glenroy #Richard 'Dickie' Glenroy #tevil Tobert #Mabel Mora #retag 2023 #my gifs #prior to 3.09 I thought that little slide of the camera with the 'devil horns' was a nice touch (line 2)#but IDK maybe that's a red herring or the cookie is merely a red herring...#Certainly don't think the cookie was intended to kill... just make him unable to perform...#But Ben was on stage before the poison could take its intended effect.#Anyway my theory (prior to 3.09 and still) Cookie Poisoner did not push Ben down the shaft.#THAT was whoever called Ben at the Afterparty... Someone who was NOT at the Afterparty...#Possibly the non-attendee who is in this gifset.

I see "Danny just wants to be normal" and "Amity Park is Danny's haunt au" and raise you, not a weird Amity Park, but a very very normal Amity Park. Everything is completely normal but it feels wrong. It's all just a little /too normal/ like it's been fabricated to be the most average town ever. Everything's right but there's an underlying current of some thing here is wrong. An outsider will see something weird out of the corner of their eye (ghosts hurtling through the air), but when they turn to look all they see is a bird landing on a branch. They must've just seen the bird? Right? Right????? And no townspeople have seen anything either. But it feels out of place. A niggling feeling that you can't quite shake but everything is fine??? But??? It's unexplainable but something Isn't Right.

#the bee talks #danny phantom #this would lend itself nicely to but isnt exclusive to:#dp x dc #but also generally i think itd help explain why everyone is just kind of chill with their new ghost town #+ if ghosts cant be conviently explained away by coincidences? well doesnt everyone deal with that?#its normal so why would u bother making a fuss? or mention it to outsiders? like gum on the sidewalk. its just a side effect of living

The disappointment.

Warden Surana, Morrigan / Dragon Age Origins (c) Bioware

#dragon age #dragon age fan art #comic #warden surana #morrigan #bioware #dao #dragon age origins #hero of ferelden #surana #morrigan's robes #or rather: morrigan's “robes”#for some reason I find it even worse in inquisition. maybe it kinda blurrs together in origins so it looks like the shirt covers more?#(the irony of me usually putting surana in the chasind robe which is - if at all possible - even colder-looking.)#well it's fine. it's all part of the charm etc.#I keep thinking about those outfits they added to sims 4 with dragon age and mass effect themes -#and I'm still so upset that there was not a single grey warden insignia! not a one! how dare! that's all I wanted!#wow three versions of the templar sigil nice thanks. they might as well have added a tranquility tattoo as well.#'yeah everyone loves the chantry. what? the grey wardens? dude that's sooo last season nobody cares about the grey wardens.'#I'm pulling the leg here but I just find it so interesting. like what was the pitch? it just makes me laugh thinking about it.#I do appreciate the effort lol. but still. not even a tiny griffon..? really? I feel like I missed it; like it's hiding somewhere.#one day I shall find it in a completely unrelated stack of t-shirts. hope is not yet lost.

had to put together a quick translation for this scene in yuu's MSS because it made me laugh. children can be so merciless

#magia record #yumeno yuusa #momoe nagisa #i couldn't screencap it because nagisa blinked but yuu gets the depressed purple cloud effect when she says ''h-how terrible!''#between how sad she gets at being told her magical girl form looks like a monster and the way she asks nagisa if she meant that nicely #i'm glad to know that yuu must think her magical girl outfit is cool/pretty instead of scary #something about the ''oh. that's okay.'' is really funny to me #my TLs #(someone else is translating yuu's MSS and there's the 29udon video as well but i wanted to do this anyway)

Come back home when you have some sense

You can throw your life away just not at my expense

You’re not the son I raised
