I once activated notifications for your account so I don't miss if the whale fall poster is available again, but instead the notifications showed me that you speak German which I could've guessed fromyour username. I guess shipping won't be as expensove if I get my hand on the poster one day.
if you don't want to spend money for christmas cards i recommend chopping up ads and assemble them in bizarre ransom-note style collages. (translations for each card are in the picture descriptions)

so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.
the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.
i had like, fifteen raw eggs.
i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.
except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.
so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she's excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.

"come home and see my girl cave :)" I say flirtily. You agree, imagining a rec room with some couches and maybe a few vintage consoles. I lead you down into the basement, where I have carved out a slimy grotto with its own ecosystem. by the time you see me dive into the water and come up with a fish in my teeth, it's too late. You want to fuck me so badly.

I was at a bookstore looking through the art section and I saw a spine that said The Camden Town Nudes which was interesting because this didn’t seem like the bookstore where I would ever find something like that and I wanted to have a casual look but like. This also wasn’t exactly the bookstore where you felt like you could look at naked pictures let alone just suggestive paintings of them, it’s a really small shop as well, so I was like right I’ll just take a quick peek, I’m an art student, I love history, maybe I’ll buy it. I looked both ways and saw the shopkeep had left momentarily and no one was about, so I opened it and found it was an entire book featuring nude Edwardian women all painted by Walter Sickert between 1905-1912 and it was actually quite a revolutionary set of paintings for its time given that it featured very raw depictions of working class nude women in dark London instead of the elegant, white bedsheet clad, Demure middle and upper class women usually depicted.
And of course RIGHT as I flip to this lady’s boobs practically taking up an entire double page spread, every customer in a 5 mile radius appeared from around the corners of the shelf including the shopkeep and immediately regressing to a wet, pathetic Edwardian man from 1908, startled, I dropped the large book which caused a giant SLAP on the floor in this already silent store thus causing all patrons to look down at me scrambling on my knees to close a giant book of Edwardian boobs and let me tell you it would not have been nearly as funny had I not immediately felt like some Edwardian local pervert who just tried to sneak a cheeky peek at the erotic book in the bookstore only to drop it dramatically causing a scene, red up to his ears trying to shove it back on the shelf. Like such a casual and normal thing in modern day but looking at Edwardian women suddenly turned it into this egregious act as I apparently became possessed by the spirit of a moustached man in a bowler hat and morning coat going Good Heavens I mustn’t gaze upon these images in public lest the constable haul me away!

The disappearance of most ice age megafauna left our biggest modern mammal groups looking so damn randomized and uneven, like theyre just visibly missing so much more context. Like they're just the teasers and there's supposed to be more coming soon.
Like ah yes there's the four big beasts.
Grey blob big ears big tusks tentacle nose
Grey blob sharp nose
Grey blob big mouth always wet
LSD hallucination thought this was a costume party

10. Absurd man grapples with ordinary circumstances.
Essential genres of British comedy:
Boring man grapples with absurd circumstances
Boring man is unaware of the absurdity of his circumstances
Boring man becomes aware of the absurdity of his circumstances
Boring man is aware of, but does not acknowledge, the absurdity of his circumstances
Boring man's peers fail to acknowledge the absurdity of his circumstances
Boring man hyper-focuses on seemingly insignificant detail of absurd circumstances
Boring man inappropriately reacts as though mundane circumstances are absurd
Boring man's mundane faux pas provokes absurd reaction
Farts, the great equaliser

I REALLY like Paul Zelinsky's illustrations for Rumpelstiltskin, and how he embraced the architecture, perspectives and style of ancient paintings.

Holy shit, we don't even have to shoot them. If everybody working for them (personally like this poster, not in their companies), they'd just fucking die from not being able to do anything on their own.

Opinion posted online: you cannot draw a hummingbird/whale griffin you sick bastard. You are a monster if you draw a wretched unhappy creature. You have irony poisoning
The author of the Physiologus writing in the 2nd century AD: the antlion is half lion and half ant. The ant half can’t digest what the lion half eats and it always dies of starvation. This is the work of a loving God who wanted to teach us a lesson

When would you say magic stopped being about "gifts from God" and started being an innate power?
After the Enlightenment. By the time you hit Blavatsky, power doesn't come from God, but some non-animate spiritual force which can be manipulated. Magic goes from "something facilitated by spiritual beings" to "the manipulation of a non-animate occult force"
