power chords were invented by indigenous (shawnee) musician link wray, who also made history when his song "rumble" became the first and only instrumental single banned from the radio in the us (way back in 1958!!!!!) "rumble" would go on to appear on shows like the sopranos and spongebob squarepants and films like pulp fiction

I was looking for references and stumbled across a series of paintings from 1930s by Soviet painter Alexander Samokhvalov called "The young women of metro construction"

After three days of work, thanks to all the crazy kids who made this possible (especially @starrrsmore who did an absurd amount of work), the massive WPlace Chamber is finished!

The original pixel art, if you wanna see that.

Shrike’s whole thing is being a sort of “were-bird” who can’t ever fully un-shapeshift. And I’ve been attached to them being a harpy for years. But… the little chicken wings…

Once you start thinking about humans as a species in a biome, it affects your entire way of looking at normal things.

The other day I referred to female morning joggers as an 'indicator species' in that if you see women jogging in the dark it means that the environment provides migration pathways (sidewalks, clear signs) and doesn't have any known predators of female morning joggers (guy with knife, bear, BigTruck, male morning joggers).

Though, I think that people consider framing humans as animals reacting to their environment as rude.

If you live with someone and they’re not significantly older/more disabled then you the assumption is that you’re doing age play kink shit.

I have basically never talked about it but I’ve been spinning around a sophant based on Springhares for MONTHS because like.

What do you mean you’re a friendly, social species that regularly trades dens with each other as you migrate but also if anyone other than your young are in your den with you you’ll loose your shit??? That’s such a wild instinct to have that’d create such a weird fucking society.

To my understanding, show dogs and racehorses have the same kind of a "no two animals with the same exact name in the registry" rule, so they have to get creative with the official names.

And that's why pedigree show dogs have full legal names like Lotus Farms' Pilgrim's Light (answers to the name "Piggy"), and champion race horses have names like Cocaine Canoe Nutcracker Supreme (answers to no man nor god).

Onto the second book of SVSSS I’m so conflicted on this damn novel because I simultaneously think the MC is a stupid little coward but I’m also utterly fascinated by how much he’s fucking up everyone around him.

Finally got my hands on a copy of the third Gen X prose novel yesterday obviously first order of business is to flip through the whole thing to get all that sweet sweet Mark Buckingham Jono art.

On one hand I am not nearly well acquainted enough with the tropes of “Reincarnated in X as Y” to properly skewer it, on the other I wanna write something challenging the “I reincarnated as this sickly kid and now I gotta fix him!” setup so bad.
