Autumn Ghost 🌻

I used Kuretake's ZIG Illustration set No. 2 and their Gansai Tambi Sumi Colors set for this spooky seasonal painting. Honestly the colours in the pan look like they could be black paint, right? So, I made it my mission to try to create a colourful piece with them, really happy with how the tones harmonize eachother! Thank you so much once again to Kuretake for sponsoring me!

*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

Happy Ace Awareness Week!

Asexual means a person doesn't feel sexual feelings or attraction to others, but this is a spectrum and can vary widely from person to person. Note that attraction does not equal romance, and asexual is not the same as aromantic. Some people are sex repulsed, some are not. Some people are sex positive, some are not.

Demisexuality falls under the asexual umbrella, and means a person doesn't feel attraction until developing a strong connection with a person. Many of the characters I write are demisexual, but not all. Phantom and Rook, and Matsdotter and Adrastus, have a demisexual main.

There are many different shades of Ace, and many different types of stories you can read. What are you waiting for?

man i don't know how to say this but gazans here are risking their lives to make posts asking for help. they are asking for you to contribute a small amount of money to buy food or medicines or get shelter.

whether we like it or not, we are complicit in this genocide. either because of our silence, or because our tax money if being used to bomb them. i thought that people would be more eager to help gazans, trying to 'reverse' the damage somehow.

contrary to what i thought, people are moving on. they're moving on from the al-shifa hospital strike, they're moving on from refugee camp massacres and from school bombings, they're moving on from dead children and orphaned children.

please don't be indifferent. help my friend alaa amsse [ @alaakh998 ]. she urgently needs money to buy a new tent. she needs medicine for her sick son. her tent was flooded and she needs to buy supplies. please please help her if you have the means to. her fundraiser has been verified by 90-ghost and the butterfly project (#307).

If T makes you gain weight and E and antidepressants do it too, and do does enjoying good food and not being hungry all the time, then perhaps maybe sometimes joy & weight gain come hand in hand and that's good

[résumé du livre]

Ce livre n'était pas pour moi mais je le trouve très satisfaisant pour des enfants - le public cible quand même ! Ce n'est pas que les enfants méritent moins de qualité mais simplement qu'en tant qu'adulte et lecteur.ice aguerri.e j'ai des attentes plus strictes pour mes lectures.

Ce qui m'a gêné est l'écriture, la plume n'est pas très intéressante, un peu plate. L'histoire est simple et sympathique. Le vrai plus est l'univers original, peuplé de créatures terribles (dans les deux sens du terme) venues de différentes mythologies décrites en détail. Il y a quand même une scène terrifiante qui m'a bien marqué (celle qui décrit la sorcière omg quelle horreur !) et l'univers est resté un peu avec moi comme un souvenir plaisant. Mais voilà, le livre fait son job sans en faire plus, sans véhiculer de message bien ficelé comme certains romans jeunesse merveilleux. En toute honnêteté si, il y a un message, le voici : il faut écouter les règles des adultes même si tu ne vas sans doute les comprendre qu'en apprenant de tes erreurs.

Je recommande si tu aimes les livres simples et les mondes remplis de fées et de créatures magiques.

informations sur le livre : - âge conseillé : 11 ans - date de parution : 2013 - thèmes : fées, sorcières, relation frère-soeur, secret

Palestine fundraisers with easily-achievable goals

By "easily-achievable", I mean in the 50-60K range and below. Once again, drawing from my pinned list of fundraisers, which have all been vetted by Palestinians on Tumblr (check that post for the proof next to each family name). I'll update this post just like the main list and the "under 1000 donations" list. Many of these are extremely close to completing their funding. Let's help get them there!

As always, donate if you can, reblog if you can't!

LAST UPDATED 9/9

10K range

Aya's family Goal: 15K 3/4 funded

The Saftawi family Goal: 16K 2389 TO GO!

20K range

The Sami family Goal: 20K Half funded

Zaen and Yehya Goal: 25K 1/3 funded

The Ismaeel family Goal: 25K 1/3 funded

Ashraf's family Goal: 25K 2841 TO GO!

30K range

Ahmed's family Goal: 30K 1/3 funded

The Alnabih family Goal: 30K 3861 TO GO!

The Khalaf family Goal: 30K 977 TO GO!

Issam Aziz's mother Goal: 30K 2395 TO GO!

The Abushammaleh family Goal: 40K 1/3 funded

The Shaqoura family Goal: 45K 2/3 funded

The Aburass family Goal: 45K 1/4 funded

Note: The Aburass campaign is in SEK, so the goal is technically 450K, but converted to USD it's closer to 45. Ultimately I decided to include this one since USD, CAD, GBP, and EUR will be more powerful here, and a huge chunk of the site's user base will pay with one of those currencies. The more hands on deck, the better.

50K range

Amal's family Goal: 50K Under 1/5 funded

Walaa's family Goal: 50K 1/5 funded

The Shorbaje family Goal: 50K 1/3 funded

You might know this tiny frog.

This is Mini mum (photo by Andolalao Rakotoarison), a species I had the pleasure to name—together with a team of amazing colleagues—back in 2019.

That was the start of a fascination with the process and consequences of miniaturisation for vertebrates. How the hell does this tiny frog manage to fit all of its vital organs—more or less all the same senses and organs that we have—into a package the size of a tic-tac‽ Why and how has it evolved to be so small? And why don't we get frogs that are much smaller?

Well, I just secured 1.5 MILLION Euros (!!!) in the form of a European Research Commission Starting Grant, to answer these and other related questions in the genomes of Mini frogs and other miniaturised vertebrates.

Because it turns out, there are *lots* of miniaturised vertebrates, and they push the boundaries of how small we think it is possible for a vertebrate to be! Here is a little graphic of some of them, scaled to a BIC ballpoint pen.

The project is called GEMINI: The Genomics of Miniaturisation in Vertebrates! You can read more about it on my website here, and in the press release, here!
