So much perfectly good scrap material gets thrown away during construction. Even like, unused nuts and bolts and random little hardware bits. Lengths of metal pipe that would cost real money if you tried to even get a sample of a similar material at a hardware store. Scraps of wood big enough to make something out of. Etc.

This is really upsetting to me because I know so much of this is just going into landfills and not long that—a lot of it is perfectly useable and stuff that crafters and artists usually have to pay money for!

Recently I have lowkey turned into a dumpster diver because there’s useable stuff thrown away in the big garbage bins in the construction zones of the library where I work. I’m a student and I don’t have money to buy materials for art projects!! Also I have an assignment at the library I work at to decorate our desks for holidays—however we have a budget of literally $0 so I have to use whatever random stuff is around. Even before this I once found this huge cylinder of construction-quality styrofoam that I’m making into a pretty cool little cushioned stool out of it.

TLDR: someone should start a system for construction zones to save useable scrap material and put it somewhere for poor local artists to sift through before it gets thrown away. It would help creatives save money AND keep a lot of construction waste out of landfills!

#don’t worry it’s not actually gross in the construction garbage bins #just dusty #construction waste #local artist #poor student #dumpster diving #landfill #scrap material #craft supplies #the most food like things I usually find are idk #soda cans and those aren’t really slimy or anything #metal pipe #i wanna do a steampunk art project with metal pipes

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order #at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers #90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent #like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries #but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate #and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something #cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare #and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity #and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media #and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons #and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators #instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period #anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives #so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world #(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin #oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value #and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the #important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

people who go through the main tags of big and tumultuous fandoms looking for new fresh good posts to reblog are essential to any circle. they’re like true hunter gatherers leaving the safety of settlement and braving the unknown wilderness to find food for the flock. they risk their lives every day and will come back with a few scratches at best and severe psychological damage at worst

#peach rambles #hall of fame i guess #i love hearing everyone share their stories in the comments. me personally? this is about kingdom hearts #usually the main culprit is disdain and dusty old misogynistic takes for kairi (the main girl)#there's x reader occasionally #cursed content with random disney characters #or people who complain about how much the series has expanded #that don't understand that over half the story is contained in the so-called 'side games'#or just generally dusty takes that have been disproven already

ELUNE CONVO FIX IT part 1

i did it i finished!! finished enough anyway

How about instead of Tyrande getting possessed by Elune, we actually got to see them have a conversation about why tf she won't let her kill sylvanas!!! And get some real payoff for all the "hmm something's off about Elune"!! And more!!

Warning this one is long and boring. part 2 is way better lol

sry she should more serious here but w/e we're just going with 'angy' lol

i think i drew these same poses in the sylvanas one lol oop sry my brain library is not vast

ok one thing i added at the last second was elune is like pulling from tyrande's personal elune power to get her real form back to properly tell winter queen to fuck off. and that's why tyrande looks like she has spider webs on her it's just glowy elune magic

and then winter queen does go fuck off bc i didn't want to draw her anymore

End of part 1!! Also when tyrande is watching elune and WQ yell at each other I imagine it like a kid watching their mom get in a fight at the grocery store or smt lol

#if you haven't seen my elune design #its literally just tyto the swift / journey #and the god power logic she uses is just discworld god logic #and a little bit summer fairy vs. winter fairy vibes from dresden files #part 2 coming sometime!! also really got not-that-far from done like 2 years ago just have a couple panels to fill #anyway dude this in game moment was so crazy #it was literally just like watching those rage bait videos where people dump fresh good food ingredients on their disgusting dusty #ass kitchen island and make like cheeto dust spaghetti nachos instead of making something edible #elisa gabrielli spitting absolutely gut wrenching #warcraft #elune #tyrande

So let’s say, hypothetically, that you found a taxidermy owl being given away for free in your apartment building.

And, hypothetically, it was very incredibly dusty and it’s wing had broken off. And this hypothetical taxidermied great horned owl is stuffed with straw instead of being mounted on a foam figure. Hypothetically, how would you go about cleaning and repairing it?

All hypotheticals of course.

#the hypothetical owl was hypotheticals checked for any mites or bugs #it is just very hypothetically dusty #taxidermy #I’m also checking around to see if anyone in my area offers taxidermy repair and what it would cost #hypothetically of course
